If this was compatible with vBExperience
I would be like
BEST.
MOD.
EVER.

compatible in what way?

it would be nice to be able to integrate vbcredits with vbexperience so that VBE's points can be turned into VBC's credits. Any idea if this is possible now or later?

What about vbCommerce also?

unless vbexp has a setting to change the points field then no. vbcredits 2 is being built to enable hooking into any existing points fields including that one, whether the target addons have settings for it or not.

thats a given! but it would rely on the new structure of vbcredits 2

Downloaded and installed. Installation went like a charm. Installation instructions in the readme were terrific, especially for a n0ob like me who doesn't really know what he's doing. That's very much appreciated. :up:


What I can't seem to find in this thread or at vBcredits.com is some sort of primer on how to set up credits (dollars in my case). I'm not really understanding the math between these things. This is just Monopoly money for my site; no actual commerce is going on here, but I don't want to screw it up and have to obliterate everyone's accounts because I screwed up and wound up giving everyone $1,000,000 per post or something.


Is there any sort of beginners' guide or something like that to get me started?

Thanks.

anything special i need to do if i upgrade my forums from 3.7 to 3.8 to insure i do not lose any of my vbcredits stats or anything?

thanks in advance

Yay!!!! That is lovely news.... but you forgot to answer my post even though you quoted it. ;)

OK, I'm trying to get this set up today, but when I go to my userCP and click on "Dollars and donations" or "Banking and loans" I get a 404 error.

Any help? I can't seem to get anywhere with the vBcredits.com board because I never got my registrastion e-mail so I'm permission-less for most of the threads there.

all of the settings describe the functions that arent self explanatory, however the basics of vbcredits is simply set up the awards in the usergroup settings for each action - there are defaults so you can get an idea for your own scale. once you give it a try and there are specific features you dont understand, just ask and i will be more detailed for them.

you dont need to do anything for vbcredits when upgrading vb3.7 to vb3.8 :)

whoops! as you can guess i quote a bunch of posts at once and answer them in one reply... must have forgotten that one.

the file is (forum)/gameroom/settings.php
set $this->cashType to "credits"
then scroll down to the eight $this->bonuses settings, and put 0 for each (otherwise they will get awarded on top of your regular vbcredits awards)

unfortunately, due to the way the gameroom's settings are in this file, you will have to reapply these edits upon every update of the gameroom on your site.

are you sure you uploaded the credits.php file to your server? if you missed that one you probably missed others. I have activated your account on my site; sorry for the inconvenience.
