Fully integrated with vBulletin and easily integrated with third party scripts:
Many hacks allow you to specify a points system by entering the table and column for the points data. Use TABLE: user COLUMN: credits when integrating vBCredits with such hacks (note: you may need to include your table prefix with some hacks)! If you are unsure about integration - ask me!

Why is this version not the gold version yet?
vBCredits 1.4rc1 went through a long bugtesting process at the official site, and rc2 is largely bug free in its entirety. However, *it is missing most of the admin help and post/thread deletion actions are temporarily removed while I figure out how to fix them.

Footnotes:
Thank you for using vBCredits, I would be happy to hear your feedback and correct anything that comes up. For more tailored support, please indicate you have installed this hack. Use of this free hack requires that you retain the copyright line at the bottom of the forum (PM me otherwise). If you do not agree with this, please do not use vBCredits - thank you for your understanding and support!

Sweet work. Would be nice to integrate with VbPlaza

I'm not sure about vbplaza but ill look into it, I thought it had its own points system, which would make it difficult to have it use this one without modification of vbplaza

Oh oh! Is it compatible with future Triad³?

yes, in fact i just posted in the tt thread that vbcredits will be the default setting for Triad? :) so install this on your boards now so your users will have some points to use when Triad? is released! :-p

Darkwaltz4 can U uplink some screenshots...?;)

Looks great. :D

// Pc Clicks Install

This looks like exactly what I've been waiting on. I'd love to know if it integrates with vBookie. Also, if it takes making this a paid addon to make sure it works with future versions of vB and gets updated, please do it. I know my community has felt sort of empty without a cash system to use.

I'd also suggest adding a lottery. It seems like a simple addition, but many members on my board love putting money into the pool everyday to see if they win.

I'm also not sure if it has this feature, but a donate feature would be great, so that richer members could give money to poorer ones.

:-p theres little use for screenshots, but ill see about adding some tomorrow if its that important...

also, ill look into the integration with vbookie. does it have an option to use an existing points hack?

edit:
i downloaded vbookie, ill put together instructions for integration tonight and post them tomorrow.

lottery/bank would be a good idea, but for the shop thing :)

donation of points is already included in this version :)

okay...apparently no vbplaza. if anyone has a copy to give me, please email me it and ill be able to take a look

Thanks very much for this great hack.

Just installed and receive this error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/auctions/public_html/forum/includes/class_dm_user.php on line 1429

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Ah, I think I forgot to highlight a row in the instructions

what you did was copy the next part for find: and then replace:

to fix, find:

//obsolete

So I should replace $this->set_registration_defaults();

with

the ADD BELOW: code?

Thanks for responding so fast!!

Sorry about the mixup, I converted my notes about file edits to the

Find:
====

stuff, and i missed highlighting that particular part.

if possible, you might want to start over with a fresh class_dm_user.php file and reapply the file edits to it. Basically, you have to undo the addition you made, and redo it correctly (which is what the previous posts instructions have you do.)

Anyway, I updated the download with the proper highlighting in the instructions file so this shouldnt happen again :-p

That's why it's always wise to backup!

I'll reinstall sir. Thanks for your outstanding support!

Worked like a charm!

I am sorry if I missed something but where do the members view or otherwise see their credits?

Thanks again-:up:

:) let me know how it goes, if you want me to fix up the file for you, check your PMs

instruction file problem, again this has been clarified in the download, so it doesnt look like the ADD BELOW block from the selection above it anymore.

Thanks very much for your unbelievable support sir! :up:

Users can see their credits in their postbits and profiles if you have set the option to yes in the vBulletin Options screen under vBCredits Global Settings.

If you have altered your postbits or profiles and would like to include the credits, the variables are $vbphrase['credits'] for the word, and for the value is $post['credits'] for posts, $userinfo['credits'] for profiles, and $vbulletin->userinfo['credits'] for the currently logged in user ($bbuserinfo['credits'] for templates).

Also, in the usercp is a link to Manage Credits under subscriptions, which links to credits.php, which also displays the number of credits and is also where the donation portion of the script is.

Edit: :D no problem asw, I want this to work for you as much as you do.

Well,

Most of that went over my head but I did manage to locate the area and took a screenshot.

Thanks again very much sir. :up:

The automatic template edits are for the default vbulletin style. I will be making screenshots tonight, and maybe adding in more linking :-p

If you have edited postbits, to make it display, put this in the postbit template:
$vbphrase[credits]: $post[credits]

for profiles, put this in the memberinfo template
$vbphrase[credits]: $userinfo[credits]

Comes out as, for example
Credits: 100

To display your own credits to yourself in any template, use $bbuserinfo[credits]

Do you have the ability to reset points if you need to?

Thanks for the mod. It's the best since vBux/vBplaza. I have it installed and I'll let you know if I come across anything.

you can manually edit anyone's points in the user manager in the ACP

you can also set everyone to 0 by using the tool at the bottom of the update counters screen. Just select all usergroups but dont select any award types, then make sure "Add credits to existing totals instead of starting over?" is on No. This effectively sets everyone to 0 :-p

Of course, selecting the types will reset everyone to what they should be, regardless of donations, purchases, spending, etc. (I recommend this be run once the usergroup settings are decided and you have just finished installing.)

Thanks Bro.. going to install now.. Now looking forward to triple triad..

Keep up the good work!

Awesome, looks great! Thank you.

Wow, this looks promising! Waiting to see how this develops as well as vbplaza since that is supposedly 80+% done.

This looks really good :)

Installed

I will play around with it. It would be nice to have a feature where I can calculate how many points/credits people received during a specified time frame.

Also a section where users can see who has the most points on a separate page.

Are you sure you have to do file edits? If I'm correct, vbPlaza, uCash, and iCash all did not require file edits.

great addon! Will try it out :D

It would be nice to let staff to have the ability to give members extra credits if staff believe their posts are useful. Like on the top right of the postbit, it will show how many points have been given to the author of that post.

I don't know if it is just me and my bad luck with plugins, but for some reason, I installed it and it shows credits in the post bit, but I can not edit the credits or manage them anywhere.

Nice work, will keep an eye on this one for sure.

Great idea!

I'd plan to use this system for something like that:

To honor posts in a thread - in fact that's possible with the reputation system, too, but I need seperated credits. As far as I read through here that's possible with this hack? You just have to implent some kind of button with a postback like "honor this post!" and the script is managing the points?

Cheers!

That would be great if u add Screenshot or any live demo . sounds really good and useful to make users so active :D

Sounds like a brilliant hack, awaiting instructions on vbookies :D

Is it compatible to ishop? Does it have an importer for icash money (otherwise all users would lose their hard earned icash money)?

If you will really develope a shop, please ensure that it has the feature that users can spend their credits purchasing real items (e.g. videogames, merchandise, etc) with form for address, email to admin with addressdata and so on. This feature has very often been requested for ishop, vbplaza and the other shopsystems.
