Crazy idea? or thesible thought?
 

first off, hello! ;) i have recently 'migrated' over to vbulletin from PHPBB (as i found their lack of security, features, and such terrible), aswell, i could see many possibilities for a idea i had sprouted, but forgotten about due to the limitations of phpbb.

to put this as simple as i can, i am trying to design a system where it will do the following:

#1 reward users for varying actions (posting, threads, whatever) with some form of currency. i have seen quite a few mods able to do this.

#2 bridge my site into a single login, with only vbulletin, normal html/php webpages, and copper mine photo gallery. i understand a special program is required to do this, forgeting the correct term.

#3 have a mod of sort, which the currency mentioned above could be spent on, to be given a 'subscription' style access to certain pages, such as say a bonus picture gallery, or such.

that is the 'super dumbed down' version of what i am currently aiming at. i understand it is going to MUCH more complex to do, but i am willing to expend the time/effort, and likely needed money to do it. i just need to know if all of these three things are even possible with vbulletin :)

thank you again for any help! now to go hunt down a dark theme that isn't... yuck. :P

Hello Sabbykat,

Glad you made the switch, and most these are already readily available. Check out some of the points and credits system available for download in the modifications area.

yes, i was aware many of these are available, but was unsure if linking such things together would be doable into the manner i wish. but thank you for the reply, very appreciated :) i'll update this a bit more clearly tommorow when i am actually conscious hehe.

these things are possible to do - vbCredits which is one of if not the biggest points/currency system here are currently in beta mode of vbCommerce which will be an addon inwhich people can buy/ spend their credits on certain things.

And it is possible to port vbulletin with nonvb pages

vBCredits, seconded. Likely that the only thing close to being able to accomplish what your trying to do.

ty both for further info :) good to get a name on what i should look at haha, i wish i came to vbulletin from day one *Sigh*
