Has anyone had problems with server load when using this addon?
Or rather, when adding many forums to the "Forum override" area?
I set a largeish number of forums to give no credits, to all staff and registered posters and my CPU/Memory usage on the server went sky high
The load time for my forum went from an average 0.5-1 second per page, to 4-7ish seconds per page.

Awesome hack. How can i get this to work twith IbProArcade and Vbookie for my 3.7.2 forum?

Also for those saying it does not have a shop, try IShop. Works fine with vbCredits and it's a very nice addon. My members love it.

Edit: Nevermind, looked on website. >_<

I've got it working with ibproarcade, but there is one minor issue. For the arcade pass it says that if members have it they still have to pay if they want the jackpot, but I see no option to go ahead and pay instead of using the pass.

Also, milla da killa, how did you get vbookie working with 3.7? I thought it says its not compatible?

I haven't installed it yet, from what I've been told you simply do the 3.6 changes.

Its simple but how do i changethe name "credits" to one of my choice ?

I assume you didn't take 5 seconds and searched this thread for that answer have you? It's been asked around 500 times. :)

This mod has a shop kind that 's suitable with vbcredit as the vbcommercial arent released soon.

If the authors could work together and release a shop add-on soon, it will be a great news for many members :D

Kbank's shop has some items that could help members decorate the accounts and it even has a "limit date" products :D

There should be a link on each game's individual profile that shows at the bottom of the main arcade screen. If it's not there, you might have missed an edit.

If that's not the case, ask at vbCredits.com once it opens back up.

When I enable APC in my PHP install it get this error on every page:
Edit: I fixed this error by modifying my php.ini
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...62#post1609862

Alright, thanks. I used the automatic installer, but apparently that didn't work for that edit. I'll look and see if I can find it and do it manually. I'm assuming it will be easy but I'll be back if I have any problems

Ok, it still doesn't work. I checked EVERY one of the edits and it isn't working. Is there some permission or option I have to change that I am missing. I tried to check, but since I'm not positive what I would be looking for I could have easily missed it.

Anybody looking for integration addons will be dissapointed, the author Darkwaltz4 has shut his site down, since he hasn't released anything in the last 10 months.

I wonder if we'll ever see a shop system for this points system ?

I'll give it another week and back to vbBux /vbPlaza.

u cannot b sirius. Dark posts here regularly about this product. Additionally, it sounds like they are just upgrading the site, unless you heard something specific from Dark or PixelFX.

Now the fact that we'll probably see Windows 7 before this thing comes out is a different issue.. :D

I suppose this is offtopic, but why not use kBank?

They are upset that people have recently been critical of their making promises of various release dates and never delivering the final product. Apparently vBCommerce was promised 10 months ago for example and still not even the sign of an Alpha release. :)

The simple solution would be stop making promises unless you are 100% sure you can deliver upon them. vBulletin developers learned that lesson. Maybe these guys will learn now. Especially given they are part-time (at best) developers struggling to find time to develop vBulletin add-ons.

Personally I don't think we will ever see vBCommerce. :)

They likely shut down the site so they could spend more time developing vBCredits/Commerce/Customizer, rather then answer and admin a site all day long. If you've spent any time on the site, or spent any time talking to Darkwaltz and PixelFX, you'd know that vBCredits is a HUGE investment on their part. This isn't something their doing in their spare time just for kicks. Their looking to make their products reliable and safe, considering that money is going to be exchanging hands utilizing a lot of these products. Their reputation for a solid product is more important to them then their reputation for a speedy product. Speedy products seldom deliver anyway.

If the site is shut down, then I can only imagine it's to free up time to work on their core scripts. I happen to know that their making progress, but that there's still important work to be done. Work that has to get done along side spending time with their families, and working on their real life jobs that provide genuine income; the higher of the priorities then any vB releases. You'll notice that Waltz is still taking genuine support questions via email.

I don't see any evidence as of yet that they aren't 100% certain that they can deliver on their products. What I do see is a lot of non-coders (myself included) criticising the amount of time it takes to code a complex and intricate project, when they have no idea how much time it actual takes to accomplish such a task and they have no idea how much time the developers have to do the actual work. Just because you've been told that a product is under development, doesn't mean you've been promised any kind of time line. The fact they have a heavily developed site, and already a number of deeply intricate products and scripts should tell you that they take this seriously.

They are very skilled designers and I have had nothing but excellent help and service from them in the past so whatever they are up to....I am behind them all the way!

My thoughts anyways!!

I agree 100% with you. Sometimes the eyes are bigger than the stomach and you can't deliver. It happens. If they're working out the kinks and bugs, I'd rather they do that than release it and it destroys forums...

Well, somebody will come along with the next big thing...I'll patiently wait.

If you saw dark's post on vbcredits, someone is bankrolling this whole thing now. I'm hoping that its actually Jelsoft that is bankrolling them and this is gonna be in 4.0. Anyone wanna buy a tinfoil hat?

Just a quickie, ive read thru this thread but cant find the answer, and the support forum seems offline.

Question.

When using the award system via posts, you get a box appears and it states (amount available xx)

What i want to know is where is the available amount defined and can this be manually set, as in the screen shot shows available 30,010 credits.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Ive searched thru the settings but cant find the setting, any help appreciated.

Just to add this amount goes down and stays at 10 which i need it to be higher or unlimited.

hi,

i got also the Problem with the Bitfield Collision: prefixrequired = credits_cantearn stuff, here some links in the thread but the Site went down oder shut down or whatever, tried to delete and/or upload the new version of the bitfield_credits.xml file.... nothing changes....

so, can somebody write down here in the thread how to fix this ?

would be very very nice !

thanks

Which version of VB are you running and what version of vbcredits are you running??

Bear in mind VBBux/plaza isn't free
I doubt we'll see the free copy released for sometime and I wouldn't be surprised if it came out when (sorry, IF) VBCommerce/Credits are both gold.

uh, sorry !

VB: (vBulletin 3.7.2 Patch Level 1)
VBCredits: 1.4 (so, the Addon Manager tells me...)

i would update, if i can :) but the error message doesnt allow me to do it :/

is this something like NamePro's cash system?

how to show the banking function? i dont know how to do that? just showed the donate function, not loan, not saving?

who can tell me how? pleaz. THanks a lot

I have a problem, i installed vbcredits 1.4 RC2, but when I donate members doesnt recieve the points

thanks

Since the official site is down, can I have a progress report on vB Commerce and Customiser? I don't really care about vB Credits, since Release Candidate 2 is as good as most modifications full versions!

RC2 has some stuff disabled, like point deductions

That number is likely from what they call the board's "Central Account". I looked around on vbCredits before they shut down and the answer is that you cannot see or edit this amount. All post awards (and I think other awards for that matter) come from this account. The amount in the account is replenished by the taxes on drawing winnings and any service fees on donations, bank transfers, etc.

If you don't want to use the central account (I don't), then you can do that. Go to the adminCP > vBCredits > Configure Specialty Awards > Spend Post Award System From Central Account and select "No"

Good Luck!

I'm using vB 3.7, who can recommend the best shop mod that will work with vBCredits? My site's members are getting anxious to spend their credits

how to increase the maximum saving credits? i dont know

Guys, remember that for the time being vBCredits.com says you have to direct support questions to support@vbcredits.com, as long their genuine support questions.


The shop mod is under development. But vBCredits can be integrated with:

Living Avatars
ibProArcade
Name That Tune

And a handful of other modifications here on vB.org.

:p sorry for my extended absense everyone. I've been busy with my regular job, preparing for the new baby which is due in about 3 weeks, and the large custom job which I posted about 2 months ago. If you all remember, I said vBCommerce's completion would be part of that job, and that I am under contract to finish it up in 3 months since that announcement. It's been 2 months, and vBCommerce is for the most part done, just needs the generalizing touches (right now it is in the form used for the custom job). Right now I am finishing up that job (there was much more to it than vBCommerce :p) and then will get to releasing vBCommerce.

Thanks everyone for your patience! I'm aware its been a year, I have so much stuff backlogged that I couldnt begin to tell you about it, and Im sure you're sick of PixelFX's spiel about it :p You are welcome to try out any of the similar stuff in the meantime if you are sick of waiting - I will alert everyone about the release when it is ready so you are free to check it over and see if you want to switch back.

We closed the site temporarily as I haven't gotten a chance to go through the messages yet, and everyone was getting too antsy. I will open it after I get through the messages, although you could send serious support requests here or to my numerous contact methods on my profile. It is by no means a sign that we are closing for good, in case you were thinking that. Actually, both PixelFX and I are looking to expand more through it as there is so much promise with just vBCredits.

Thank you Digital Jedi and the couple other of you for getting to the questions I have missed! Thanks, and welcome to those of you who are installing vBCredits for the first time. Despite being RC2, vBCredits 1.4 is for the most part stable - the only reason it is not in the final form is due to the thread/post negation awards being removed for the time being. Other than that is some extremely trivial bugs, so go ahead and try it if you are waiting for the final version.

I'm going to now go through and answer the outstanding posts from the last week or so :p

Unfortunately, those are problems specific to vBookie, and I cant give support for its use (only for integrating with vBCredits)

Use the mass credit updater in the acp under the vBCredits menu. You can use it to recalculate everyone's credits or set everyone back to 0. If you need help filling out the menu please PM me (it should be fairly obvious). If your member's credits fluctuate wildly this might be because you gave full rein of the post award system to your regular members, generally if they have amounts with several dozen places.. otherwise its probably just bad settings, which I can go through for you if you PM me an admin login.

You can put 0 for the override value to disable the earning of that particular award, in a particular forum, for a particular usergroup :p

Did you also set the drawing date to something in the future? Does their usergroup have a nonzero ticket limit? Did you exclude your regular group from it in the drawing settings?

Will you guys be updating this paticular section so it checks for forums which are marked as "No post counts"?
Because if you setup a bunch of overrides for a large amount of forums, it slows the forums down to a crawl.

Is this still occuring? I have seen vBCredits installed on some big-boards and never had this kind of thing reported - in fact I developed a unique plugin optimizing thing to greatly reduce even the server slowdowns on sites that have multitudes of hacks installed (seen on a site with 250+ hacks installed). Are you certain vBCredits is the culprit (disabling the hack and seeing if it goes away, and then turning back on to see if it always comes back)? Are only certain actions doing this or is everywhere doing anything seeing an increase?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=173894

When a user has purchased the pass there should be another link to pay full price pretty obviously. If not then you skipped an installation step, probably the one to upload the file that comes with the addon zip (not just the edited files)

You can search for the EXACT phrase "credits" in your phrase manager and change the phrase it finds, or click the link in the vBCredits global settings (the very first option has it) and change it through that way, which goes to the same thing.

*cough* that happened a lot.

lol, not jelsoft, though one can dream... even if i were to work for them, i would **not** want vbcredits (or any derivative addon) to be included with vbulletin - that stuff is MINE! :p

Aye it was when I last checked.

When I setup all the forums and usergroups I don't want credits counted for and save, the actuall page where you edit forum overrides then takes AGES to load, because there's so many usergroups/forums.

The forum itself slows to a crawl

...oh man, I just enabled it again and it's not doing it
Although I have moved servers since, hehe
Previously I was running Php in FastCGI mode, I Wonder if that's why? heh

Did you have RC1 or RC2 installed on vB3.6 prior to upgrading to vB3.7? If RC1, the instructions are in the zip for RC2. If RC2, then download the zip from this thread. Follow the instructions for installation (dont skip steps or do them out of order!). When you do the template edits some may already have been done, so just skip those as you come across them. Should do the trick :) If not contact me via PM.

vBCredits includes all the features and more of the cash system they are using (uCash)

Make sure that usergroup has nonzero maximum savings and loans in the usergroup settings. Choose carefully the maximum loans or they will get out of hand. Also check the global vBCredits bank settings to make sure you dont have any extreme requirements to access the bank (like a lot of posts, days registered, or reputation)

Do you have donation moderation enabled for that usergroup? If so, you will find the donations in the queue in the Moderate Donations / Awards link in the vBCredits menu in the acp, and you can process them there.

It used to be tied to auto disabled when no post counts - but some people want to earn credits but not post count, and vice versa. Using the override system you could have it any way you want. Does it slow down the forums themselves or just the forum override page (which is in bad need of some grouping/pagination I admit). I have some big changes planned for vBCredits 2.0, but keeping myself from working on it as I have other more important addons to work on first ;)
