okey ill wait for 1.4 and vbcommerce so i do them together

PixelFx 07-27-2007 03:50 AM

just a note that 1.3 is very stable if you wanted to get head start, and 1.4 will be a painless update :P Also we plan to release a stardard free version of our vBTracker software, on our site for those interested. I posted information there, support for that will be on our main site. We're just cleaning up code for that so lots of love coming down the pipe :D

I am almost done with it :)

Unfortunately, due to vbplaza having been BURNED INTO IT, youll have to do a slew of file edits to get them out and replaced with vbcredits code :-p So get ready for that.

What about on a fresh install of the Arcade?

Another possibility is to ask Mr. ZeroPage (a great guy and very supportive I might add) if could release "replacement files" for the arcade. Then we could just overwrite the other Arcade files with the one's you've already edited.

A thought?

Cheers,
G_Man

Darkwaltz4 07-27-2007 04:34 AM

You can try to ask, until then I will include the two hacked files for users who dont want to make the 20+ file edits. He might like the way this new version of support works.

:) Testing everything now

I think he will. I pm'd him, leaving links to this Mod and explaining that you intend to include his hacked files as part of the release for your Add-On. Told him to let myself or you know if this is not satifactory.

I can't imagine him minding, but good to let him know.

I don't think it will be long before vbCredits gets itself a spot in the Premium Modifications Area at vborg. :D

Darkwaltz4 07-27-2007 05:20 AM

:D that would be so cool.. but i thought vborg was going to discontinue all of the premium mod forums?

Thanks for asking him for me, I am still compiling a set of instructions for hacking it yourself, or if I am not allowed to post edited files of his.

i am looking into paid subscription purchases with credits, although it kind of conflicts with the paid subscription support with my paypal addon >.< What good is buying a paid subscription with credits, that awards you with credits?

I don't use paid subscription or anything similar. I am using the points system to get a better idea of who is a "decent" site member. To gain points they need to post or thank posts. I want to use the points score of a user to limit their site access until they have a set points score. For example :

New User -> Registered Users Group ( which has limited site functionality )
Posts & Thanks posts -> Points score rises above limit
User moved -> New Usergroup without restrictions.

I am also looking at using the "Limit Attachment Views" so that people can only view 30 attachments per day. I could use a points promotion to encourage people to post etc. so they would get unlimited attachment views.

Hello, is somebody using vbCredits with RPG-Integration Hack?

LightScribe 07-27-2007 12:11 PM

Thank you for this. Great work.

Darkwaltz4 07-27-2007 12:47 PM

Two important updates:

1) Ton of errors in the mass credit updating script. Should all be out now, download and upload the credits_admin.php to your admincp folder, and you're done. You can then mass award everyone, and it should have the CORRECT values! >.<

2) ibProArcade Addon is complete! Check out this post for screenshots and the download for it.

:)

adc-arab 07-27-2007 12:56 PM

thx dark ^^ for ibProArcade addon and for the fix can't wait tell i add the addon :D
Nominated ^^

njoker555 07-27-2007 01:34 PM

are you working on integrating it with v3arcade ? that would be cool since i dont use ibproarcade on my forum

Darkwaltz4 07-27-2007 01:35 PM

yes v3 arcade will have the same features, and also showcased on my site (we use v3 too, not ibpro)

I wanted to get this one out first because apparently a lot of people were waiting on it.

Luky 07-27-2007 01:44 PM

I have a feature suggestion, or perhaps an idea. Instead of flooding our inbox's, why dont you just release your updates. And every saturday night, at about 8 PM, then send us an update notice, because you never know when you might find a bug that needs 20 patches within the same hour that you send an email for each. Just a tad annoying my friend. Peace!

EvilKitty 07-27-2007 02:08 PM

Awesome, with ibproarcade supported i'll finally install this later tonight!

You're amazing for support.

yes i've been waiting for it lol, looks like i have to wait longer, im moving beginning of next week so dont know how fast i'll get my internet back

Darkwaltz4 07-27-2007 02:31 PM

Well we shall see what the weekend has in store then :) now that the basic premise is out of the way its pretty much a port to v3, and possibly even easier since they support hooks and such much better and dont hardcode any points hack.

Chase 07-27-2007 02:32 PM

I cannot wait for vBCommerce to be released. I want that so bad!

PixelFx 07-27-2007 04:06 PM

yeah .. its just picking what the masses want the most first and needing a few days to get it all setup. Reason we setup a full support site at on our support site .. I'll post screenshots for v3addon and a release or dark will once its ready :D then its commerce, tracker, limter etc releases.. :D and more .... the list is almost unending and everything is intergrated together.

Double click on postbit or postbit_legacy

An edit window will appear.

In the "Find" box at the bottom of the editing window paste this and click find:

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]

This will highlight that line. Create a blank line above this by going to the left hand side of the line highlighted and press enter. Click in this new blank line and enter :

$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right]

The template should now look like this :

id="repdisplay_$post[postid]_$post[userid]">$post[reputationdisplay]</span></div></if>
$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right]
<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>

Click the save button at the bottom of the edit window to save the template. This will perform the template edit you need to get the credits to display in your postbit fields.

Wow thanks for that m8 :)

I try to write my instructions for people who understand the things on this page, otherwise it would irritate the majority who do. Furthermore, did you try the template hook instructions at the bottom of the Instructions.txt file?

Thanks PlymWS for writing up the detailed instructions for me though :) And I'll include that in 1.4 :D

Thanks for that m8 and also for the pm :)

Just re read my post and it sounded a little blunt which it really wasnt meant to be :eek:.
The hack is just what we have been looking for since vbplaza had to be removed and now with vpager having to go as well things are getting a bit messy in the templates and just needed a pointer as to were the hook instructions were best placed as i had put them in but still got nothing showing in postbits etc :o

will give installing another go soon and if i get stuck will deffo be shouting your name out for help LOL

Terrasoft 07-27-2007 07:09 PM

Dude, Waltz...you rock so much man! Im so glad to see the arcade add-on! =D

Any progress reports on vbcommerce? Or somewhere I can see the progress?

I would vote MOTM, but I already did. ^_^ I believe this will along with vbcommerce will blow vbplaza 2.0 out of the water.

...I need to figure out some things for you to add on now. >_0

Phil4387 07-27-2007 07:18 PM

Thanks for the update, but I found another mistake. When you choose the "Perform all of the transactions..." option it includes any awards that were given out as if they were normal transactions.

Darkwaltz4 07-27-2007 07:24 PM

Thanks for the support everyone, as well as those who have donated !

Only a couple more days to see if I made it into MOTM - be sure to vote again on the poll if i did :D

I know you can specify the table and row for the points hack, use the settings at the top of the screen.

Not a bug: i chose to include everything for addon support as well for addons which save to the transaction log. such as vBCredit$ notes how much was purchased -- and if THAT wasnt returned to your users they would probably get pissed :-p

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. What I meant was that if I give someone a 500 credit award and then appropriate credits using the option to perform all transactions. It will give that person the 500 credits, which is fine, but it will also subtract 500 credits from the person who gave them the award as if it was a donation.

Darkwaltz4 07-27-2007 07:48 PM

OOH, thats right, i totally forgot about the new award type... the one through profiles and not attached to posts >.< well, its not major enough to warrant an update, but will be included. Thanks for pointing it out :)

if you want to fix it yourself, change in admincp/credits_admin.php
PHP Code:

     else if ($log['action'] != 'post'

replace with
PHP Code:

     else if (!in_array($log['action'], array('post''award'))) 


Dark_Konoko 07-27-2007 08:29 PM

Sorry if this has already been answered in this thread, I skimmed through and could see nothing, but I was wondering how one would go about changing the formula used to calculate total points given for specific actions. Most of the values seem fine except for the fact that users get an amazing amount of points just for rating a thread and I'd love to change this to balance the economy of my forums.

Thank you in advance folks :)

Darkwaltz4 07-27-2007 08:44 PM

You can set the amount for thread rating in the usergroup settings. Also, there is a global setting which allows you to vary the amount against the rating, and I think you have it set to yes and you want it to be no ;)

Dont forget ALL awards can be negative and fractional (even 'bad' actions can be positive, and vice versa)

This will be in 1.4, correct?

Also, I don't need the appropriations now so I can also wait for 1.4?

and of course... Cheers!!

Darkwaltz4 07-27-2007 09:30 PM

yeah, i just dont want to put out another update with such a trivial fix :-p

it only affects if you made awards through the profile, and you are rebuilding the credits.

EvilKitty 07-28-2007 12:01 AM

Okay - i'm obviously mentally ill today.

I'm attempting to place my $template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom] into my USERCP_SHELL template with no success and i know its going to be some stupid little thing, but i placed it where i assumed it to belong (And then 6 other places) with no success.

Also, i'm sure this was asked before - but there's not way to make the points retroactive, right?

adc-arab 07-28-2007 04:21 AM

i need help i wanan move the credits and show it like the screenshot

Go into AdminCP > Maintenance > Update Counters

You'll see a section to award points retroactive. :D

You need to put the template hook directly before the closing table tag. it gets its own tr tags so it needs to be directly before.

also, to award credits retroactively, go to update counters and run the form at the bottom. I will be including a new admincp menu in 1.4 to link directly to it.

For now we are stuck with the hook, but in 1.4 I already have the code switched around to use the postbit. The difference is it is now a template edit, but at least you can all display it like you want :)

adc-arab 07-28-2007 05:40 AM

thx dark :) i can't wait tell v1.4 came out -_-

Darkwaltz4 07-28-2007 05:44 AM

Well as it stands right now i have two large companion scripts, two addons to update, two addons still to make, this to upgrade, and a whole host of other large unrelated scripts.

I am rushing, but trying to sleep here and there. You can help keep my morale up by clicking the links under 'Show your support' though :D

It's Not a phrase. It's a feature called "Donate to Members (usergroups). Sorry I just found it under Update Counters. I think the instructions are not clear, where can we configure vBcredits in ACP.

One more thing I found is, there is no separate permissions who can give positive credits and negative credits??

iCash allowed everyone to give positive credits, and only certain usergroups to give negative credits. Awarding positive points to each other member was a very useful feature in my forum. I miss it very much. I appreciate if you could add that feature, as soon as possible.

adc-arab 07-28-2007 12:47 PM

i already clicked install and Nominte ^^

also dark can u add DownloadsII mod as a Third Party ( lol asking too much just when u aren't busy ;p)

mod link
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=120122

for Programmers
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=695

it would be awesome to let the ppl pay for the download like 100 credits to dl a file and gain 100 credits for uploading it would be fantastic ;)

EvilKitty 07-28-2007 03:14 PM

I've inputted the hook where it should go with no change in my user cp.

Rawr. :p

Ahh great, I feel kind of stupid as I did not realise there was any per usergroup settings.

I do however have one (hopefully final) question, is it possible for this system to be disabled on a per user / usergroup basis. I can see people abusing or attempting to abuse the system and the ability to take away their use of the system would be very useful.

Edit: Ok I see it's possible to disable credits on a per user basis. How about on a per usergroup basis? I suppose I could create a usergroup with all values set to "0" however this still does not stop users donating credits to that usergroup.
