There are options which allow you to set negative credits for some actions as a punishment, so go back through the usergroup options and make sure no actions are set to take away credits (no numbers have - next to them in the boxes). Then, recalculate the credit totals.

Hi,

As per the instructions this part of the Template edits does not exist in my vbulletin default skin which is VB original.

Wll the Script still work fine if it is not added? so far I have not gotten any complaints with this part missing.

Thanks

did you read this?

the leading cause is the activity credit being deducted for inactivity. uncheck the activity award from the applicable negation awards in the global award settings for vbcredits.

You appear to be using the vb3.6 version of vbcredits on vb3.7 - download from the top post in this thread and try again. you will have to reupload the files.

Hi,
what are the differences between this and vBexperience?

thanks

How can my members find their referral link?

hmm, tbh i havent looked at vbexperience yet. From what I understand both can somewhat be used next to each other as they kind of do separate things, although vbexperience is more for weighting actions vs other actions, wheras vbcredits is about earning for explicit use later, not as a score or something.

Hi,

I have the system installed and everything it working fine. But for some reason i see that when a user creates a thread and then replies to their own thread the credit count does not increase, this is further clarified by statement under posting credit in the usergroup settings.

My question is, can i some way get the system to add a credit when a user replies to their own thread, or maybe removing the slice of code that prevents the count increase.

EDIT: I found the code in credits_admin.php to allow this, but thats only for mass updates, nothing in the realtime situation which i assum is credits.php

Thanks

there is a specific award in the usergroup settings regarding what you get for a post in your own thread :) sounds like you have it set to 0

Your right.. this section in user manager: "Your Thread Posting Credit: Applied for all valid posts made in a thread which they originally created." i was mis-reading this, and then when doing an update for "Posting Credit", "New Thread Credit" & "Your Thread Posting Credit" was tipping the credits over the post count, but now re-looking at it i can see why. Thanks :)

:p sorry, i was trying to be concise and consistent with titles to all of the settings, and "Posting in Your Own Thread Credit" is what I started with I think

First of all I want to say that vBCredits is great hack. I am working on upgrade process from vB3.6 to vB3.7 (which means also upgrade of vBCredits v1.3 to v1.4rc2) and I just bumped into one unpleasant feature/bug of vBCredits v1.4rc2.

In vBCredits v1.3 there are two options regarding earning reputation points:

• 1. Positive Reputation Credit (Awarded when these users receive positive reputation.)
• 2. Negative Reputation Credit (Awarded when these users receive negative reputation. You probably want this to be negative as a penalty.)

So when I recalculate user credits in "Update Counters", users will get correct amount of credits (positive amount of credits for positive reputation and negative amount of credits for negative reputation).

In vBCredits v1.4rc2 there is only one option regarding earning reputation points:

• 1. Received Reputation Credit (Applied when the user receives reputation. Can be set to multiply against the amount of reputation received.)

In "Configure Award Settings" is also "Award Negation Multiplier" which is responsible for realtime earning negative amount of credits for negative reputation (that works fine), but when I use "Mass Credit Updater" for recalculate amount of credits earned for reputation points, then every reputation is awarded by positive amount of credits - by other words every neutral (from users without possibility to spread reputation points yet) and even negative reputation is awarded by positive amount of credits :-(. Darkwaltz4, please, Is it real bug or there is something else for adjusting this?

i have big problem.
after i upgrde the credits they strat to go crazy.
members get credits for no reason at all.
what to do?

When installing this, does the section have to be named vbcredits, or can we name it something else? Same thig with "credits", can we change it to "coins" or "cash" or any other custom names?

Also, I know that the same post keeps getting linked in response to this, but I fail to find the answer in the post or on the vbcredits website, but what can the credits be used for? vbcredits just does the points, but vbcommerce is what can turn points into money to be spend on little user-made shops on the forums, right? How do users go about making these shops, and where are members' owned items stored or displayed?

Hi, I just got one question before I'd like to install this addon.

Is there a system in the hack or an extra addon which people could use there points to promote themselves.

I currently run a site where people get extra content when they are promoted. After a month they get sent back to their original group just like a subscription. So is it possible for the members to use up points to get promoted?

I have a problem, i created a thread and it awards points with no problem, but when i deleted the thread the points was not deducted,
I have the negation award= -1

whats wrong

Thanks , I love this mod

ive uninstalled this because i had installed this in the first place to use for a stock trader mod, but that mod wont work for some reason on my forum so i dont really have a use for this mod.

but this is a great mod, awsome job!:)

thanks anyway, and no worries. we're in the process of streamlining vbcredits currenlty to make it easier to get updates out. Should make it easier to support 3rd party addons like the stock market and other easier.

anything about my problem?

it had notin to do with this mod at all, it was with the stock trader mod.

this is question I leave up to darkwaltz, he's currently in the process of moving, and trying to get internet access again asap.

We've discussed making our own addons later for systems like this. Currently the focus is streamlining this mod to make it easer for end users to install and setup. Darks working on some amazing stuff for this currently. Including vbcommerce which is best left for discussion on our site.

that would be awsome if yall would make some addons that would compliment this mod

sounds like a bug.. ill look into it and post to my bug tracker if you havent already.

as for the award change in reputation, giving negative rep is awarded as (negation multiplier) * (positive reputation award), if reputation is checked as an applicable negation award in the global award settings for vbcredits.

sounds like you enabled the post award system unlimitedly for regular members. if you send me an admin login i can take a look at your settings to make sure.

Generally "vBCredits" does not appear on the public forum area except in the copyright line. The term for points "Credits" is a phrase and can be easily changed in your language manager. This phrase is also linked to in the very first option in the global vbcredits settings.

vBCredits is a points system. You can use these points for pretty much anything, only some of which ive made myself for everyone else. You dont have to wait for me to integrate them with something else, and theres more to spending points than for postbit icons :p Theres even a few other existing shops which can be configured to use credits if you really wanted. For full list of whats already available and whats in development (as well as where you can suggest more) go to vbcredits.com

in 1.4rc1 there were some fatal bugs with the negation of post/thread awards. as a temporary fix i removed that functionality so that you could at least delete that stuff again without problems. it will be returned fixed in the final version.

not yet, but on the list of things im working on.

What is the max amount of credits allowed? One user maxed out at 3 billion and it reset it. Is there a way to make the amount more?

3 billion? im pretty certain ive gotten it up to like 100+ places and i just stopped trying to get any higher. It is possible that the exact max is specified by your mysql server settings for the signed DOUBLE datatype.

I think the only way to allow upwardly more is to require you to have a arbitrary precision math module installed with your php, but thats server intensive and personally unncessary - i recommend that you consider scaling your award/cost amounts down a bit instead.

Do you have any publicly joinable usergroups at your forum? Because if so, I heard that might be how they got so many credits, so you should scale down all the usergroup credit options and not just the default ones.

nice mod !

is there anything to spend these on?

Or do we have to wait until vbcomerce comes out? ETA on that?

theres plenty 3rd party mods that support vbcredits

can you give examples?

Hi, I have a question.

And for that serves all the points they earn?

Hi,

Quick question. How many queries does this add? Is there a way to track if the users points have gone up or down since the last point given?

I.e If user had 10 points and had negative rep added or something that would remove points, would there be a way to indicate that points have been lost, perhaps with a red arrow down or something.

currently this adds 1 query per area anywhere where an award occurs. for example, during posting is 1 extra query, profile viewing is 1 query, new thread 1, etc. nowehere however is it multiplied by say posts, so always the barest minimum, which actually affects your second question...

right now there is no general log for regular earning in order to track that sort of thing. at the very least it would double the query requirements as it would also be inserting into the log. i am looking at this for the next major version of vbcredits after 1.4, as it would solve many issues and add in some functionality many of you have wanted. just weighing the pros and cons.

Is there anything else you can do with this other than give points? Like are there any mods that go with this?

~Crystal

I remember in vb3.0 with ushop and ucash people could buy like colored usernames, or bolded usernames or underlined usernames or access into specific forums etc.

Anything like that available?

^That will be in vB Customiser, which will hopefully be released soon.

what cheat said ;)

the list of addons ive made myself can be found and downloaded from here
http://www.vbcredits.com/projects/vbcredits/index.php

there are more third party addons which can use credits simply by changing a setting in the third party hack, but i dont have a comprehensive list (mainly cause they dont need to inform me when they get made) for example.. the casino, p3tz, ishop, name that tune, etc

I have installed a lot of products to my board with no error, but I just can't get this to work.

I upload all files and import product, then I get 500 Internal Server Error on my board, I can navigate and use Admin CP ok.

What could be the problem?

I run:
vB ver. 3.7.2
vBadvanced CMPS v3.0.1
ibProArcade v2.6.7+
and use vBCredits v1.4rc2 for vB 3.7
