Next version
Will be release in April 2002. ;) If you have any features to suggest or recommendation please post a NEW thread in my forum instead of vbulletin.org, so I can keep track of all the suggestions and as this thread is getting too long and I can't keep up with it.

Do you have any screenshots of the admin?

Am I just not looking in the right place or is the karma hack just not visible to unregistered users?

U must register on the link below and then apply for the karma hack, after that the order must be approved by the administrator and then (i guess) you receive an email with a link where you can download the karma hack.

(Be aware: It even askes you for your phone number :D)

I meant I can't see the results of the karma hack on the demo board. http://www.xibase.com/vB/images/smilies/retard.gif

I'm sure I'll eventually register to download it, but I gotta see it before that happens ;)

aaah :D


Looks great Certify :up:

I have already approved 2 accounts. Go and check your your account by clicking "My Account" --> "Order History" --> "Order Date"

Yes, one of them is from mine. I came to the page where it gave me the download link and i downloaded the hack in a zip file but its corrupted :(

I tried it 3 times.

I have just reupload a new copy, try again.

why not add an attachment here ?
with your system if people have no license they can have the hack not with attachment

Still no luck, the zip file is 1,09kb

I only just now registered, how did you approve me? :D

I totally agree and you may be violating the license agreement. Please post it here as an attachment. Thx.

I have not been able to view the hack on the demo board. Judging by the feature list, I went on ahead and registered for it and am now awaiting the approval to acquire.

I registered! and order one

but the download link is dead!!!!

Help!!!!!!!!

You have to wait for the download to be approved. I ended up ordering twice before I realized that fact.

its a bit personal so i didnt give ne info. why not just post attachment here?

What I don't understand is why you need to know where I live, what my phone number is, when I was born, etc just for a VB hack. I mean, if you want to make people join your site, fine, but that is way too much data you are collecting for no reason. Plus, your privacy policy clearly states that you will be sharing my information with your affiliates, which in essence means that someone else will have all my personal info. Yes, I read the whole policy, and it does say that it will not be shared with third parties without my permission, but your affiliates are excluded from this. I am sure that this is a great hack, but since I can't even see it use on your board unless I register, I think I will pass until a better way to download it has been established.

Of course, that is just my opinion, and I could be wrong.

He is not violating the license. What if someone bought Overgrow's Karma hack, and they had an illegal vb..?

Same thing is it not. What about people who make that photo image....built off VB....They sell it to anyone who has the money...so I mean its not like he is charging for the hack.

But yes only license users can download offer the best security, but its his hack, for which he is donating to us

that is also a good point of alot of info...

I registered on Certifyexpress.com and still could not see the hack there. Personally, I wasn't worried about the information being given out.

I just realized how this hack works, you will begin to notice it when you post at certifyexpress.com. It does not show up in the user info field at all. It shows up under your login welcome.

I have approved all the orders.

The shopping system on CertifyDev is a from osCommerce.com and I did some hacking on it so you guys can download it and this is what I get. If you don't trust us, fine let it be.

Lesane - I will sent you the zip file later, I tested and it seems to be working file. I don't know why it's not working on your end.

GraphicW - Yes it on the main page only (currently) but I will make it work on anypage you want the karma to display on the next version 1.1 (E.T.A February 19 2002).

Aight thanks. Are there any succesfull downloads already?

btw... the contents of the zip is this:

Weird :?:

Hmm.. I registered.. :(
I need that hack.. " Your order will not ship until we receive payment. " !?
What payment ?

I W A N T I T !

Why nobody attach it here ?

I will post the attachment here as soon as my net connection improves.

I regististerd, but haven't recieved anything.

Can you post some screen shots of how the karma points are displayed for the user?

I registered and I am waiting on it to be sent to me, about how long does it take (j/w :)).

I would really like to have this hack as soon as you could get it to me -

Thanks,

SD

Currently it only displays the karma on the forumhome like Certify said above, check the attached image

It has nothing to do with not trusting you certify, honestly. Anyway, if you are going to put the attachment here eventually, I will just wait for you to do that. Problem solved. Looking forward to using it.

I thank you very much for this hack, but I have never been more busy then going through all that registration just to get a zip file, nice for you to get more registered users this way, and pageviews for your stats. The file is really small, so I wonder why you can't attach it to the board here. Nice of you to have a complete payment system/ shopping cart thing going on, but it has nothing to do with vBulletin. Just having to go through all this trouble .. then I just wont download it, sorry.

I have just attach the zip file here. Go download and enjoy. ;)

Great. Thanks.

Many Thanks Cerify!

Great!

Thanks very much :)

Ok, I am having a small problem and I am hoping that you can help me out Certify. Ok, I have installed you hack on vBulletin 2.2.2, everything seems to be ok and running smoothly but the problem I am having is that the points are not showing up.

I have set the points in the section where I need to and all, afterwards I went to my username on the board and went to the bottom and selected "Add Points" from the drop down box. It shows I should have 6 points at this time (in the edit user section of the admin cp), but on the posts I have made, it does not show the points at all.

Is this a bug/error or do I have to reach the amount of posts set in the edit section before I can add points?

Please get back to me, I would like for this to work, it is a great hack, just this small problem :)

Thank you for the great hack and get to me as soon as you can,

SaintDog

Ok, well the reason I could not see it was because I did not add it to the right template (welcome text).

Is there anyway that you could make it to where we can add it to the postbit template Certify? That would be much better than having it viewed on the home page templates (in my opinion anyway).

Thanks,

SaintDog
