Is there any way to retrospectively generate a credit score for someone ?

My forum has been running a while so I would like to be able to generate a credit score based on my users previous posts and thanks.

Also, would it be possible to add a points score for uploaing an attachment ?

How to disable / not show for a specific member group? I would like to use this for displaying salary for my board staff :)

You can easily retrospectively generate a credit score. Just install this, then go Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Appropriate Credits

You can then update credits for specific usergroups based on various factors.

There is a form at the bottom of update counter page, use this to apply credits retroactively. Attachment uploading will most likely be implemented.

Edit the usergroup settings for the usergroup in question, and set everything to 0. You can also disable specific people in the user edito, and the entire hack in the global settings. To disable showing of usergroups in the top richest credit holders, the option is in the usergroup editor.

Everyone: Dont forget to click install :) (or nominations for MOTM :D)

everything is installed, but when i go to allow quizes that are submitted, my admin keeps asking me to log in over and over again! I thought this was fixed, and also when making changes to the admin_quiz.php there are two instances of the same code when searching.

This is when i am integrating it with the Quiz

two instances of this one
and also this one

As I stated earlier, the number of tabs is important in which block to use. Revert your quiz files and search again, this time paying attention to tabs. There should be only one block for each thing. You probably get logged out because you replaced it twice. If after you fix that and it still doesnt work, we will go from there :)

are you referring to my post?

Yeah?

blocks? tabs? I am usong just vb3.6.7 not advanced

Okay, when you are finding and replacing code from quiz.php and admin_quiz.php, also search for the number of tabs in the code block. If you searched for just the text it would appear twice, but checking the number of tabs (tab keypress, aka indents) makes it appear only once - which is the right one to replace.

I guess I will redo the instructions to identify a different block of code. Sucks I cant use plugins because there are no hooks at all in those files.

ahhhhhh! more sleep and less caffeine keeps the errors away ^_^, ill get back to ya!

It refers to TMS? Where is that to download?

TMS is here, will link to first post

It is not required to use vbcredits, just saves you the steps of doing template modifications if you have it installed. Otherwise the template mod instructions are included.

I will begin putting newest versions of stuff on http://www.vBCredits.com , so be sure to sign up if you want to play around with new versions and provide your input before releases.

Is 1.4 being released already? I saw vBCredits 1.4 on the top of your site.

New versions of scripts will be tested on vbcredits.com before official release elsewhere :) (kind of how vbulletin does it)

Register there to test out new systems, including the upcoming vBCommerce. Now, things will be blocked until I'm certain it wont destroy the world, but when I want to test the logic and get feedback :)

replaced everything that i had edited, replaced that database, but when i do a fresh install of the quiz, my admin login keeps asking for my password, this is without and files been edited.

The Modifications look good! Although the only one there I will probably have when they come out (apart from this one) will likely be the topsite modification (is that a mod which allows you to run those topsites where sites get added and votes make it go up a list of sites?)

Either way, nice work.

It's likes johns origional vbtopsites hack for vb2.0 way back when only its been given a full rewrite. We will have both a Lite and pro version in development. but basically yes with tons more features that other topsite promotion script systems currently have.

We'll annouce lite version here once its ready and we'll also have more info on our site as well. We've been working on all of our scripts for a number of months now, almost a year :D, with full intergration with vBCredits :D

vBcredits was a nice surprise... I'm tired of waiting for a new version of vBux/vPlaza... THANKS! ^.^b

I've pm'd dark with a list of ideas/suggestions (hey you guys asked for them).

So the Lite one will be free, correct? And will there be pro/lite versions of all these scripts, or just some of them?

I would rather not have posters gain points based on word counts or character counts. Can I disable this altogether??

I think you would put this to zero for each usergroup:

Post Size Credit Credit awarded per character or word in a post, in addition to the Posting Credit.

im soo glad this is being developed

I tried that but it didn't work.

vBCredits is 100% free, vbCredits$ note the $, is a small paid addon, which we are handling on our site once that script is completed.

But what you are now loving and using will always be a free addon, just like vbadvanced has cmps for the masses.

We have other scripts in development that have both Lite and pro releases. To keep things ok with terms of this site, we're only releasing our Lite scripts here, we are making as lite scripts as feature packed as we possibly can for you guys

I hope that clears up any confusion, we have version 1.4 already started, on our site and will post more info on that for those that want to follow development, we'll release 1.4 with updates here once its ready

i just got 12 credits for one post with 10 chars, i put the points per char to 0, what happened here? when i delete the post it delets 1 credit and i did set it to that

i set it so u get 1 credit per post

I only want certain forums to allow credit earning. How do I do that?

I am investigating the weird variable.... might have put the wrong one or forgot an extra check in there or something :D

gr8 work
gr8 coder :)
I just want ask you about any thing like this

thanks

Okay, ignore my last question (not being sarcastic - really ignore it!).

How do you do THIS?

Njoker, thanks for the help - Ive uncovered a slew of missing variables in the credit fomulas :-p i guess thats what i get for not sleeping for 30 hours while rushing to get a release out on time.

anyway, i have reuploaded the package, to implement the fixes, just re-import the product file again (be sure to select allow overwrite)

This should fix up your plugins :) sorry about that...let me know if you find anything more

wow lol, i'll do that in a few mins then and come back to see if anything else needs fixing, it was scaring me tho lol, getting 30x more points than they should - ouch for forum contests

thanks :D

Yeah....it was counting chars but forgot to insert multiply against the postsize credit :D so instead of + .1 * 30, it was just + 30....heh >.<

Also, that form is the Mass Credit Updater
To find it, in the ACP go to the Update Counters link under the Maintenance Tab, usually at the bottom of the navigation panel. Then scroll down through the various tools to usually the bottom, and theres the form. If you need help with the options, consult the admin help links posted next to each item.

Thank you, I'll try that now. :)

You can override any forum type credit award in the forum editor. You cant miss it. This might need some bugtesting for missing variables too due to some scope issues, but we shall see :D I dont have a massive testing forum yet where this kind of thing would be readily visible. Alternatively, if you already list the forum to not count posts, you can set it to not count credits there either with a global setting.

The link doesnt work...

HELP! I just installed this, and now the site's not working, and I can't get to anything in my admin cp. I was just following the instructions. What went wrong?!

Were you installing fresh or upgrading?

Were there any errors displayed?

fresh

And no, there were no errors displayed it was working for like a minute, and then all of a sudden it just stopped and nothing's working now

Okay now it just started working again. That was really weird.

well, as long as its working :D maybe your server just had a hiccup...

I see the option to allow a user to lose points but I can see to find it. Someone please tell me where. I have a sig request site and would like to take away credits once a member requests. Please help thanks.
