First of all I want to say that vBCredits is
great hack. I am working on upgrade process from vB3.6 to vB3.7 (which means also upgrade of vBCredits v1.3 to v1.4rc2) and I just bumped into one unpleasant feature/bug of vBCredits v1.4rc2.
In
vBCredits v1.3 there are two options regarding earning reputation points:
- 1. Positive Reputation Credit (Awarded when these users receive positive reputation.)
- 2. Negative Reputation Credit (Awarded when these users receive negative reputation. You probably want this to be negative as a penalty.)
So when I recalculate user credits in "Update Counters", users will get correct amount of credits (positive amount of credits for positive reputation and negative amount of credits for negative reputation).
In
vBCredits v1.4rc2 there is only one option regarding earning reputation points:
- 1. Received Reputation Credit (Applied when the user receives reputation. Can be set to multiply against the amount of reputation received.)
In "Configure Award Settings" is also "Award Negation Multiplier" which is responsible for realtime earning negative amount of credits for negative reputation (that works fine), but when I use "Mass Credit Updater" for recalculate amount of credits earned for reputation points, then every reputation is awarded by positive amount of credits - by other words
every neutral (from users without possibility to spread reputation points yet)
and even negative reputation is awarded by positive amount of credits :-(. Darkwaltz4, please, Is it real bug or there is something else for adjusting this?
