Uhm, the tabbar doesn't appear in vBulletin 4.2. What should I do?

Hi Guys,

Can you please confirm what will happen when enabling this on an existing forum?

I.e. Will points automatically be given based on historical data or will everyone start on 0 and posts/threads etc made from here on out attract points?

Thanks.

you can set a date from when you want the points to be backdated from.

vBCredits II Deluxe v2.1.0 released!

After a long hiatus, I am proud to announce the immediate availability of vBCredits v2.1.0!

Many of the fixes in this version have been posted as patches or hotfixed to the pro version, but now finally merged together in a cohesive package and made available for lite as well. In fact, I am backdating this release to 6 months after the previous one, so that limited license holders from awhile back will be able to take advantage of these great improvements.

Improved Performance:
-Smarter transaction queueing and processing
-Additional caching and query simplification
-Separate pending transaction table
-InnoDB applied conditionally

Currency Popup:
-New ability to include links to specific actions (eg [Transfer])
-Revised wording, Amount field focus, and currency matching
-Fixed usernames with utf-8 characters
-Fixed missing security token error
-Flooding prevention fixes
-Disables on mobile theme

Improvements:
-Optional cron alternative for daily actions
-Memberlist template edit no longer required
-Implemented upload/download actions on vB3
-Implemented referral/welcome actions during promotions
-Revised post/thread awarding/editing/deleting scenarios
-Better compatibility with other currency addons
-Better action multiplier handling
-Narrow admincp transactions by action
-vB3 supports navbar link to Transactions
-Other style, wording tweaks and optimizations

Fixes:
-Alternating column colors on memberlist
-Errors during URL attachments
-Auto repairs broken vBCredits cache
-Rare database errors
-Restored missing display saving functionality
-Recalculation tool issues
-Saving transactions during AJAX calls
-Full vB3.6-8/4.0-2 support

Organizational:
-Consistent DBTech features, eg global branding free key
-Moved related files into credits folders
-Using google hosted jQuery library

I fixed so much, I hope I remembered to list everything! There's a good chance that issue that's been bugging you about vBCredits has just been taken care of :) Otherwise I look forward to taking a fresh look at it in light of this update.

**IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES**

You should disable vBCredits, upload the new files, import the product file, then re-enable it. This will cut down on me having to help you through disabling addons when sync issues prevent you from logging into your admincp. And also from alarming you about being unable to log into your admincp :p

If you have a large or busy site, you might consider turning off your forums during the upgrade to cut down on server strain. As part of the performance improvements, pending transactions are moved from the main transaction table to a pending table, which may take several minutes depending on the amount of transactions you have.

You should also revert any template edits you made to vBCredits templates, including from previous patches, as well as from your memberlist_bit template. If you bought branding free, your old plugin will still work, but you can switch to the branding free key if you want.

The next update should be here much sooner :p there's more to come, Enjoy!

Getting this error when it asks to merge the templates

there is an issue if you use RSS feeds with this mod

RSS Poster Robot

Fatal error: Call to a member function escape_string() on a non-object in /home/hind1980/public_html/dbtech/credits/credits_core.php on line 563

You either were not logged in with a superadmin or an admin without vbcredits access (or you still have to reenable vbcredits).

In any case, your upgrade has completed successfully :)

i logged in with administrator

and cant run RSS feeds due to this mod
when i disable the mod the RSS feeds work

what happens specifically when you try to run rss feeds with vbcredits enabled?

as i said

RSS Poster Robot

Fatal error: Call to a member function escape_string() on a non-object in /home/hind1980/public_html/dbtech/credits/credits_core.php on line 563

if you run an rss feed on the forum you assigned it, it displays that message and will only import 1 feed, after its disabled the RSS feed will import all feeds

this is for vb 4.2.0 pl2

in (forums)/dbtech/credits/credits_core.php find

replace with

let me know if that fixes rss for you (or if you get a new error) :)

thank you

it worked, many thanks for the fix for vb 4.2.0

I just now realized I missed your initial post about rss feeds - i was responding to glen290 with my superadmin comment. at any rate, ill have that patch in the next version.

The original version of this ran fine on our VB 4.2 forum. However, when we upgraded to 2.1 there is a slight glitch. When a user clicks on the "Currency" link in the nav bar the link looks like this;

"<span rel="credits-1-1;Fergal">BAF Cash: <b>17,939</b></span>"

How can that be fixed?

Thanks!

Sounds like you have edited vbcredits templates that need to be reverted

ThanksDarkwaltz4, our Tech Admin reverted out navbar_tabs template and that has resolved the issue.

Unfortunately we now have another issue. Our forum currency is called "BAF Cash". Before the upgrade, when I wanted to remove BAF Cash from a member, I did the following;

ACP > DBTech - vBCredits > Recalculate User Accounts >
Entered the member's username in the "User Name" field and clicked "Exact match"
Then I adjusted their BAF Cash total in the "BAF Cash" field and clicked the "Update User" button.

This no longer appears to be working? Perhaps there is no another way to remove BAF Cash from a user?

Anyone had an issue with members being able to download even if they don't have sufficient points?

I get this error when trying to update transactions manually via ACP:
This is after recalculating my members' points. It asks me to update counters and this is what I get.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with the new version of this Mod?

Yes, the last version worked well apart from minor bugs. This version isn't recalculating via the cron job or manually.

Since this is the case, does anyone know if it's possible to roll back to the previous version without damaging anything?

Here is a fix posted on DBTech Forum.
This fixes the cron update and allows manually processing of updating counters.

Random question DragonByte or anyone else.

When I first installed vBcredits, it allowed me to transfer/donate credits VIA popup by clicking the credit link in the postbit. Now clicking the link is linking me directly to credit.php. Any idea on how to restore the popup, as that was mighty convenient?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you have old edited vbcredits templates that you should revert.

My "Welcome" credits are being given twice, anyone know why?

Yeah I have it set for 100 welcome credits, and new users are starting out with 200. The only other thing that gives out 100 credits is birthdays.

Also is there a way to reset EVERYONE's credits to a certain amount?

have you installed vbactivity mod

vbcredits works with it, so it might be conflicting

No, I have not.

Can I get an answer on this one too?

Hey Darkwaltz, I'm getting this error whenever I try to donate credits to people. Any idea what could be causing it? Thanks in advance!

How to adjust decimals here?

If you insert the amount like 4.5>> it will be given as 5 and so on!

Hello!

Please teach me with this error after I had updated to vBulletin v4.2.0 Patch Level 3.
Error: Fatal error: Class 'VBCREDITS' not found in credits admin.php on line 67

Beside: I have full permission in my forum, but when click on any link to VB Credit, it always show me that You do not have Permission to acess, please go Administrator Permission to add permission

Thank to ask soon!

Hi! I've just installed the mod (version 2.10), but I found this warning
Any idea?

I installed this, then 2 days later it caused a server error and crashed my entire website, so now i've dumped it.

I think I'm failing to understand exactly what this hack is used for. From what I can tell, it seems to be a way to generate a virtual currency used only in the forum to which it is installed. As it seems to be a highly popular hack, I'm interested in knowing a bit more about it.

Can this hack be used to earn money for the webmaster, or is it simply a "fun" thing for the forum?

I get this reporting, although it does go through and process when I gave some credits.

"The adjustment was applied successfully<br /><strong>Warning</strong>: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in <strong>[path]/dbtech/credits/credits_core.php</strong> on line <strong>642</strong><br />"

I am a novice developer and expert designer, appreciate if you could be kind to me and help me out.

Is there a option to reset all user credits to zero in the admin panel to zero. It's to the point now where user just have insanely high amounts and we wanted everyone dropped back down to zero.

hello

I have to submit an idea that exists in another support forum.
Would it be possible to add the credit based forums?
like this for example
a forum for flood = 0 credit for a message, and 0 credit for a new topic
a forum for sharing = 3 credits for a message, and 15 credits for a new topic
...
here is an example

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/01/18.png

here there is 1 credit per message and 3 credits for a new discussion forum
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/01/19.png

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/01/20.png



What do you think?

thank you very much

Hey all,

Sorry for the delay in support responses, can you please post outstanding support issues on our forums @ www.dragonbyte-tech.com ?
Since this mod is not released under our company name, we have even less ability to keep up to date with threads here. Posting them on our forum means they won't get overlooked :)

Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience :(
