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, and if you like it you can nominate this for MOTM. 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!

well charging to view content is my content merchants pro addon. buying paid subscriptions with credits will be an itemtype in vbcommerce. both should be discussed at my site

and yes, rewritten basically on how it saves credits... right now its kind of had an addon approach, where new features have for the most part been added onto the original code. now that there is a large bunch of stuff, i will revise how all of it fits together and simplify how you set it up. i basically never expected or programmed for some of the things that it is expanding into or what people want, for example micrologs for all earnings. also some features which are becomming their own major systems will be modularized and expanded on their own (I may even remove them from the main hack in favor of addon status, such as the bank, lottery or post award system, especially since those 3 tend to be used by less than the majority so may as well speed up the main hack by making them even more optional). that kind of stuff needs an overhaul of the entire system, and indeed the next major version of vbcredits will be 2.0 however, I havent begun development on it yet (beyond some notes) and dont expect to for some time; theres a huge list of stuff everyone else wants first

Hi Darkwaltz,

Thanks for your response. I have checked over the above settings and they all appear to be in order - visibility is set to "everyone", and the example usergroup (Admin, which I am part of) is set to "no" regarding being excluded from VBPoints. I can't see the other 2 admin's credits on their profile and they are part of the same group with that setting.

So I am not too sure what else it could be.

Would appreciate any further help in identifying the problem!

Cheers

[Darkwaltz4]

hmm, sounds interesting. please PM me an admin login with settings, usergroup and style permissions, and we shall go from there thanks

any get vbcredits to work with vbookie on the latest 3.7 version of VBB? Want to make sure before I use it as my money system. thanks.

[dlynx]

jojo:
vB 3.7 Gold w/ the latest VBcredits and the vbookie/vbcredits integration addon works perfectly on my site.

Dark:
I may have missed a setting somewhere so forgive me if this is what it is. However, the default negative post awards (for deleted posts, etc) seem to also effect the usergroup induction credit when they are removed from it. Is there a way to exempt usergroup from the negative awards?

[Darkwaltz4]

dlynx: if you are using rc2, there should be a setting for applicable negation awards in the global award settings. make sure Induction is unchecked.

i am disabling my install and will uninstall later today as i did not see that it puts two url's in the footer would be better put somewhere else imo not every page..

o well to find another..

[ramsayeg]

Does anyone know when will a shop be released? I want to install this hack as I had it installed in my previous version of vB, but there doesn't seems to be a point right now. Thanks~

[Darkwaltz4]

the copyright infomation is in the end of the top post. Im sorry you feel this way and I hope you return in the future - thank you for trying it out anyway! (and sorry for the trouble you had with it apparently)

as for the shop, please watch vbcredits.com for that

[jojo77]

I can't seem to get the Applicable Negation Awards to work. I got it set at -1.5 and checked the new thread field. But when I test it by creating a thread and then deleting it, the points that I earned does not get deleted.
