Currently the last remaining issue that keeps vbcredits from being 1.4 gold is the broken post/thread negation awards. to allow you to at least complete the action without errors, the code was simply disabled. So, if you want to remove credits yourself i suggest allowing your moderators the use of the post award system, such that they can deduct credits as part of their regular maintenance, from right in the threads themselves.

Is there a way to install this mod into a test style in order to work out any kinks in it before releasing it to the general public? It's way to complex to release it without doing some testing on the board.

Thanks for the advice!

Tom

Sure? You do the template edits :p

Great - thank you. When you install some mods they become instantly active. I just didn't want to do that here.

Can't wait to install it - thanks!

Tom

I was just about to report this bug myself. Glad to know it is not just me then lol.

Have you found any hurdles with this action? Last I heard from a different coder is that a file edit is needed to make this work properly. Is that still the case?
This is the one thing that is stopping me installing it live on my site. I would pay to have it working, or at the least donate.

A live demo that doesnt need registration will be good.

you can see the points system working on that site without registering just click around rather than discredit this mod

you should join with vBExperience

:D

<i>Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in /-forumdirectory-/living_avatars/index.php on line 27</i>

I get this error when trying to integrate Living Avatars with VBCredits. It happens when I follow this line:

================================
File: living_avatars/index.php
================================
FIND:
--------------------------------
$points_remaining = $userinfo['points'] - $item[cost];
--------------------------------
ADD BELOW:
--------------------------------
$DB->query("UPDATE " . $GLOBALS['tableprefix'] . "user SET credits = " . $points_remaining . " WHERE userid = " . $userinfo['userid']);

How do I fix it? I put the query underneath this:

// ###################$points_remaining = $userinfo['points'] - $item[cost];############ LOAD LA CORE ################################

Due to several intersecting awards that occur during posting (posting in your thread, someone else's thread, post size, someone posting in your thread, new thread, etc) and the fact that the collection of hooks for moderation activities doesnt sync up well (merging, copying, moving, moderating, invisible, etc) it gets extremely complicated to figure out how to undo potentially massive numbers of posts at once when something "simple" like that happens. So I left it alone for now - it hurts my brain.

vBCredits doesnt really have anything that guests can see or use... guests cant earn/manage/use credits. all you can do is look at someone else's credit amounts, sorry.

I would prefer to remain separate :)

you messed up your file edit. I recommend sticking to exactly the code I put instead of adding your own. Try over with a fresh copy of that file.

Oh, but this part:

// ###################$points_remaining = $userinfo['points'] - $item[cost];############ LOAD LA CORE ################################

was already in the default living_avatars index.php. I didn't add anything of mine.

Okay, I replaced it with the original downloaded file and fixed the edit. Thanks!

thats odd, maybe another addon you were using replaced that file without telling you?

:up: lol. don't worry, you almost gave me a brain aneurysm thinking about that as well.

Good luck then.

Is there a way where users have to pay credits to reply to a post

thankq

*Installed*

you're welcome guys :)

yes, theres a free addon for charging for post/thread/forum access available at my site.

hey can someone please help i just upgraded vbulletni and am getting this error when i try to import a product i think its due to this script , how can i fix this?

my version of vbcredits is: 1.4

you need to "upgrade" to the vb3.7 version of vbcredits

I ended up taking this out because for some reason, users were being allowed to award each other credits. Like, normal registered users.

I'd like to put it back in again, how do I change the awarding permissions?

in the usergroup settings are the limits for the Post Award System. by default they are all 0 (completely disabled) for everyone..

Hi, thanks for this great plugin. I installed it, but I'm not sure what I did wrong since I cannot get the links under vbcredits menu in ACP to work. configure global settings, award settings, specialty settings, banking settings, addon settings not showing anything when clicked. Other links in vbcredits menu are fine.

CBACK CrackerTracker

what is this error sir ??

From what I've read CBACK CrackerTracker blocks everything you try to do in your own Admin CP. You'd likely need to ask the CBACK developers why it's blocking installation.

I have found that some servers (I *think* when using https) the ampersands from the links get dropped, and not just with vbcredits but vbulletin links as well. You could try editing the includes/xml/cpnav_credits.xml and removing all do=options&amp; from them - but this issue should be reported to vbulletin (avoid mentioning vbcredits or they will say that its my issue only :p)

Ive never heard of that hack, but if you could send me the stuff it claims it logged, I may or may not be able to do something about it.

very nice

good job

but how about 3.8 version ??

the 3.7 versions works on vb3.8 just fine. a couple template edits might have changed a little, but you can find them with partial matches.

Can you sell credits using this mod?

Can someone tell me if this mod can allow you to do crazy stuff like buying a "ban" on a user or little gifts to give? I have a forum that really needs the crazy stuff, not a serious point system, but also crazy. Would this work?

can this work with vb experience at the same time?
and how much server loading/ queries this will take, you know?

i have a pro addon to sell credits through paypal, but you have to pm me or visit my site to learn more.

i have a small custom hack for buying a ban on users, but talk to me over PM about it.
also i have a full featured itemshop called vBCommerce you should check out on my site as well :p info there about getting it.

im fairly certain it should work alongside vbexperience
generally this adds only 1 query in places where you have configured to gain credits (such as during posting). displaying credits does not add any queries. my optimized internal plugin system keeps the server load down and i know of several big boards using vbcredits without any slowdowns.

Thanks man!
this is awesome.

is there a way to allow members to receive a percentage of their referrals points? If there is could you point me in the right direction?

the referral point thing has to do with the additive referral bonus. if you want to award for referrals there is the regular award in the usergroup settings. just leave the point stuff alone

Installed, thank you for this Mod.

Darkwaltz4,

I've spent the last week or so creating a smaller store addon to your vbcredits addition. I'm nearing completion and expect to be done by Christmas morning as a gift to my posters. I added the store functionality directly onto the credits.php file that you include in your root folder and am in the process of adding a new store.php page to the Admin CP. Should I release the changes I did on this forum for users to be able to have a store functionality that is completely based off of your vbCredits system or keep it private since eventually your developing your vbcustomizer?

Please pm me and let me know, thanks.

sorry, i used the wrong term there...when I said points, I meant actual credits...

I already know how to have users awarded credits for referring someone. What I want to do is award them credits for the initial referral, and then on a continuing basis I want them to get a set % of whatever their referrals earn.

If this isn't a feature are you planning on adding it?
