Pardon me for not reading this entire thread. Chances are someone else has asked this already. If so perhaps the info can be placed in the initial post or something as it usually is..

Anyhow, Before I update I would like to know what has been changed and improved....... Usually this is announced as part of the initial post but all I saw was a list of features and nothing pertaining to this particular update..

Thanks so much for the work put into this. This is one of the best modifications ever for sure and very useful...

sorry, i never formally announced the change through the announcement system because its still in rc, and i havent put together a full list of changes since 1.3 - but there are over 100% new stuff over 1.3 :-p i did put up a list of stuff from 1.4rc1 and rc2 here..

Hi, I am new to vBulletin so please forgive my ignorance. I have vBulletin 3.6.9 and I just downloaded and installed vbcretits per steps 1-7. I did not add all the codes below step #7 in the instructions as I don't know what that is about.

After step 7, I see that vbcretics is shown in my Admin Control Panel.

However, I don't see the credits showing up in the forum under the members.

Can someone please tell me what is wrong.

Thank you.

Hi, I am new to vBulletin so please forgive my ignorance. I have vBulletin 3.6.9 and I just downloaded and installed vbcretits per steps 1-7. I did not make changes to the templates in the install instructions shown toward the bottom because I was not sure if I need to do that. These are the codes i am talking about.

After step 7, I see that vbcretics is shown in my Admin Control Panel.

You basically skipped Step 3 of the instructions:

Your not going to see anything displayed in your forum if you don't make the template edits that put them there.

Great, it works beautifully. Thank you so much for all your help.

My next question is how to I show the top members with the most credits. Say the top ten members with the most credits.

Perhaps if there is a little display box or something on top that show that list. So we know who has the most credits. This way, I will know who has the most credit.

Also is there a secondary credits category say for a period (say credits B). For instance, if I want to run a contest for the month of May, starting May, everyone will have zero credits B. Then at the end of the month, the one with the most credits B will win.

Thank you

vbcredits has a richest users list that displays in the donation/drawings link in the usercp. in the specialty settings you specify how many users to order by. in the main settings you select which display amount is ordered by (displayed). you can exclude groups from the list in the usergroup editor. i intend to have more modules for richest users in the next major release (after 1.4 final). you can also in the memberlist settings, choose to include a column for credits, which can also be ordered high or low to create a forumwide ranking.

there is no secondary thing like that, but in the next major release there will be logs which could be viewed by date like that

DarkWaltz, I had not gotten a chance to upgrade to 4.0RC prior to moving servers. This is the first forum move I've done alone, and I've run into a peculiarity I was wondering if yoy could enlighten me on. I got this error after the import:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method vBulletinHook::fetch_hookusage() in /home/******/public_html/cogonline/forums/plugins/credits_plugins.php on line 46

I tracked it down to two plugins causing the error. Define Showthread Template and Display Navbar. Once I turn those two off, I no longer get the error. Looking at my old hooks, I don't see any differences between the working forum and the imported board. Everything is identical (barring a couple of hooks that seemed to have switched places on the listing).

I also don't see anything peculiar in line 46:
Any ideas?

EDIT: I should mention that in one of my first attempts to fix the error, I re-imported 4.0, allowing an overwrite, and I re-uploaded the plugins folder from the ZIP file. Both to no avail.

you are using rc1 - please download and use rc2 :)

you may need to apply this to get the rc2 import to work (within this post):

because you are using an old version of vb

I was concerned, being that I didn't have the problem prior to the move, that trying to upgrade would complicate the problem. Bit if you don't think there will be an issue, I'll give it a try.
