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!

Not only are we using it, but because of the add-ons (free and otherwise) on your site, I've actually made money on my forums immediately after installing and communicating it out to my online family!

I highly recommend using vBCredits with the add-ons over at Darkwaltz's site! :up:

I know that they have an integration with a casino mod here....

....but, not sure if that's what you call vB Casino.

[zombietom]

yep..i think thats the same one....so i will be installing vb credits soon. thanks for the info and the super good mod

[PixelFx]

I'm currious how much money some sites have made from our mods, lol, aka like the most amount? may have to do poll some time for kicks. Gaming site I run, with custom gaming itemtype for vbcommerce, I've made around $500 or more in the last few months between dark and I. Not a lot but helps towards vbcredits main site hosting bills. And that was using vbcommerce as Beta lol... still be interesting to find out other other sites are earning...

[ArnyVee]

Robert, I've already earned my money back (7 times over) from the vBCredits/vBCommerce/Cash Conversion combo

But, since I only communicated this out to my members last night, I don't have any "long term" numbers for you....yet

[PixelFx]

prob best to say on the main site lol, glad your doing well with it, dark and I been working on hard to build a revenue based system for vbulletin. so many ideas so little time.

Damn I really wish you guys didn't have to put in a "Plugins" folder in the uploads. I'm sitting here like an idiot struggling to upload this.

I uploaded every where they belong, but I'm stuck at "Plugins". My forum directory didn't originally have a plugins, so I made one, and uploaded them, but when I try to upload the product, it says I need to upload credits_installer.php, which I thought I did.

As you can see I have no idea what I'm doing

[Darkwaltz4]

if you open up the zip file for vbcredits and look in the upload folder, youll see some folders that match what you already have in your forum folder on your server. Upload the files from the zip to your server in the corresponding folder, including the stuff from the plugins folder (so only put those files inside the plugins folder inside your newly created plugins folder on your server - everything else goes in the other corresponding folders..)

basically, most ftp programs will handle missing folders and subfolders and stuff if you highlight and transfer everything from the zip's upload folder into your forum root folder on your server.

[plazzman]

To be honest, I did do that. In fact I uploaded the credit_installer in almost every folder just to be safe, but it's still not working. I know I'm doing something wrong, just wish I could pin-point it properly.
