What? This adds branding site-wide?

Most major addon hacks do this in exchange for a massively functional yet totally free product, so that others who might be interested in it may acquire it for themselves, just as freely and easily as you do. Because this hack permeates the entire board it only makes sense to do it in the least obtrusive way, much like the regular vb copyright, and you may display it the same way that you do for vb. Standalone major addons (that are confined specifically to their own page or module) generally have a more pronounced single copyright on the pages they pertain to, but vBCredits pertains to the whole forum.

did you put the .1 in 'Time credits' or 'activity credits' :-p if there was something in time credits they get that regardless of activity, in addition to what they qualified for the activity credits.

I have "0" in Time Credits and ".01" in activity credits. It doesn't seem to be doing it as I reset everyone to 5 credits again (no one earned anything since my members don't seem to post). I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if everyone is getting credits for not posting.

I'll keep you updated on the situation if it continues.

Thanks
Best Regards

does the VBay work for purchase?

Thanks heaps for the awesome mod!

/me marks as installed.

I wonder how many people even pay attention to the copyright notices at the bottom of the page. Someone should do a poll. :rolleyes: But that's neither here nor there.

Template edits, not file edits. And there are seven of them, if you don't have TMS installed.


Well, now it's stranger then I originally thought. I didn't realize the coin was supposed to open a drop down menu. Instead, it's just links me to a page with the with content of the drop down menu. What's weird, is that the only reason I knew that is because the two other skins are working fine. And I've checked the template code line for line. It's identical. Span tags are closed, even in the source code.

Okay, okay. I'll shut up and just wait for 1.4. :erm:

Ah, then that suggests you forgot to make the edit to SHOWTHREAD template (which includes the ajax JS file) to that style

And by automatically editing templates in 1.4, i meant manually >.< (assuming you dont have TMS) all of the plugin-inserting stuff was taken out and replaced with manual template edits because they are far more reliable. id say half of the issues ive had to help fix were style related - custom styles just dont usually keep the template hooks. But like I said, having to add them manually gives you better control over how they look, such as if you have to add a class to the div so it matches the rest of the style, much easier to do it in the style editor than hunting in the plugin and editing it 3 times :-/

Totally great mod and something I have wanted for a couple of my sites for some time....

I have a couple questions and I am also having a problem...

Question #1 - How can I mass pay everyone upon starting... I looked in the instructions and did not see anything. I don't have time to go through the entire 20 pages right now...

Question #2 - This is integratable with ICash bank or IBank or what ever... I am talking about the fairly new simple stand alone bank that is out... If this can be used with that how is integration performed? I tried before and could not figure it...


The main issue I am having is with forum manager. After installation I cannot edit any of my forums through the forum manager. Currently I have the credit system working but I have disbaled both forum credit override plug ins..

I am using 3.6.8 and a custom style. I had to do the custom edits.. Everything else works fine I believe...

Thanks again... Great mod!!

Rich

1) update counters page, bottom

2) yes, set "money row" to 'credits' for both hacks.

3) what happens when you open the forum manager? if you disabled both plugins and it still happens, it isnt my hack doing it, but i wouldnt mind looking at your acp to help you figure out what is causing it. catch me on IM

Oh yeah.... counters.. That is my own lack of sleep etc.. Sorry to bother you guys with stuff that is right there...

I will let you know regarding question 2...

Thanks for the immediate response! Quicker than an ambulance man.... appreciate it..

Rich

Chnaces are it is something interfering and because I haven't seen anyone else having this problem agree with you that it is not your mod doing it...

What happens is if I try to edit anything in one of the forums, when I press save, instead of redirecting and saving I go to an unfound page...

I am going to try and disable a couple other mods I suspect of being the culprit and if I have no luck I will get back to you. I use the site as sort of a mod test bed and there are many, many mods installed so it doesn't surprise me that I am having an issue like this...

Thanks again for the help...

youre welcome :)

Check for plugins that use the forumadmin_update_save hook. It is the only one that runs during the save process for forums.

That helps big time!! Thanks You just saved me loads of time...

By the way, by having the forum over ride disabled I am only missing the options to edit for credit? Right? if that is the case it won't kill me really...

Unfortunatly so far I only see this mod using that plug in but I am sure it is one the mods I have.. No big deal though because I am not too worried about specific forum credits anyways....

Thanks

Catch me on IM and we can look at it. If the plugin is disabled then nothing is being inserted in that place. If you have never edited the file specifically you can upload a new admincp/forum file from your vb zip, and see if that fixes it. You edit credits on a per-usergroup basis, in the usergroup editor. the forum overrides is for specific forums :-p i am also redoing that little editor anyway but thats in 1.4

Hi,

Great Hack, thanks alot. :up:

Just one issue, and i have already tried the fixes on the earlier pages in the thread, but i cant get the 'manage credits' to apprear in the user cp.

please can you put code up and show me where to insert it.

Many thanks in advance

2nd issue now:- I have installed the V3Arcade addon, but it's not working.
I have done the file and template edits, but it will not show anything in the arcade, when i go into the ACP i can change the credit costs etc... for the games for they have no effect.
I have looked at the screenshots, it shosw smileys etc... and credit costs next to the game titles, but none of this shows in my Arcade.

Please help as its driving me nuts.

Did you add the template hooks to your custom style? what version of vb are you using?

as for v3, what DOES show up in the arcade? did you make the template edits there too?

Ok, i have sorted all the arcade issues, well i think anyway?

Can you stop people playing the games if they dont have enough credit? I noticed that the credit for members can go into negative aswell, this alllows people to just keep playing and getting huge negative credit.

When i try to donate to someone, it say 'invalid amount specified', even though i have put various different amounts in.
i have done all the template edits for the style and had no luck with the 'manage credits'
I even added the seperate one that appears at the bottom of the install text.

I am using 3.6.4

Thanks

Thanks, ucash,ushop conversion awaited eagerly.

Credits only go negative for things like deleted post credits. it still checks if you have enough in the arcade, and kicks you out if you dont. it would be kinda stupid if it didnt.

are you donating to a test user which you created?

You are running an old version of vb which means your usercp plugin needs to be switched to another hook, however

you have a bunch of issues which I would rather help you with all at once by having a look at your board. talk to me on IM

I have added you, hope to talk soon.

Cheers.

:)

Is there any plaza type things that work with this that are out for 3.68? I need one that you can buy like glowing names and customizable stuff with

yes, actually, click the link in the top post to see the preview of vBCustomizer

Well, I don't know what I did to the SHOWTHREAD template. I completely nammered it. I did have the code in there, but I must have pasted it over something important, because, not only did I have it in the wrong place, but when I tried to move it, the whole thread disappeared. :eek: Good thing I had a copy. Thanks again.

Digital Jedi: so, is it working for you then?

Deadly Assassin: arg, sorry we keep missing each other today >.< does not usually happen, i promise

Firstly - amazing hack. Kudos to you! :) Voted and marked!

Just one question though: I've tried to change the credits so that it only shows one decimal using the VBCredits Global Settings ("Number of Displayed Decimal Points" is set to 1), but when I check my forum, the decimal points still go like 859725.266666667 instead of the 859725.2 that I'm hoping for. Did I forget to change something? :(

Does that occur everywhere or in one place in particular? If somewhere specific please tell me where. If everywhere, mght have to check your board.

Keep in mind decimals are not removed, just hidden, so they are still there, and will always appear inside the ACP, such as the user editor.

It actually happens in all instances where I add the code for the vbcredits to show up, such as in my and other people's member profiles, postbits, etc. I'd like to keep all but one decimal place hidden, but am not quite sure how. :(

Aside from the vbCredits Global Setting, is there anywhere else I should modify?

Oh you are adding the code manually? It is best that you use the template hooks instead, 1.4 provides you with better controls for styling it on your own, but it is not publicly released yet.

I think I'm using a style system where the template hooks don't work for some reason, so am basically adding them in as I go along. Although, if the credits itself shows up accurately, shouldn't the decimal do so as well? *confused*

All I'm really doing right now is adding $post[credits] and that alone to postbit_legacy, actually.

ive got a big problem,i cant import the product file.When i try to upload it,then the import-addon window comes but it doesnt import it.

what custom mods are you running on your site? If any..

Alright, well you will have to wait for 1.4 for the variables to be corrected automatically for you.

That is really weird, and apparently the first person to have this happen to them. What version of vb are you running?

Ive got 3.6.8.

I am very interested in adding a "points" or "rewards" system to my portal... however I am looking for the points/rewards to be able to be redeemed in my retail store and for our services. Is this mod created primarily for arcade and gambling sites? Would it make sense for the purpose I need?

Also, I use vbPortal, and PhotoPost. Would participation in these Modules be able to integrate into the points system?

I apologize if any of this has been addressed previously... 52 pages is a lot to read!! hehe

Thanks in advance.

many :D wait ill watch...

ok now i removed some useless hacks and cleaned my db but isnt still importing:confused:

Come talk to me on IM so we can figure out which one is interfering with your product imports (I see a couple possible candidates but I cant be sure until i see what some of them are, like the german ones)

sorry for ignoring your post. does your store take points? if not, you will have to wait for vBCommerce which will have that kind of functionality.

as for vbportal and photopost, what kind of integration did you have in mind?

My store does not take points, no... But I thought i could convert them to a coupon or something. I am very interested in the vBCommerce... Do you have a timeline on that yet?

As far as the vbPortal and PhotoPost, I would just like points to be awarded for all kinds of participation on the site, including uploading images to our Gallery and adding articles to the LEARNing Center that is in the Portal.
