[DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe · **Released**: 07-02-2010

Darkwaltz4 & DragonByte Technologies are proud to present the much anticipated and long awaited [DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe

Why [DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe?

vBCredits II Deluxe is the evolution of the points hack that thousands of vBulletin owners have only been dreaming of. Completely rewritten to incorporate three years of requests and improvements, vBCredits II Deluxe is the pinnacle of simplicity and power for casual activity and serious ecommerce engines alike!

vBCredits II Deluxe is the most advanced and feature rich points system ever created. It is the only points system produced by the creator and coder of vBCredits v1-1.4 ? accept no substitutes from impostors.

Why vBCredits II Deluxe is an evolution of the typical points hack of the last decade

The typical points hack installs a standard column to your user table. You are stuck with it, but if you are lucky you can make it switch entirely to a different one.

While vBC2D installs a standard currency, you are free to remove it, and quickly integrate many third party currencies without any technical knowledge. The whole thing is made to be working with multiple currencies especially when they need to work together and the third parties didn't put in a way for that.

The typical points hack installs a couple actions with hardly any way to disable, modify, or add on to them. How they work is different every time.

vBC2D is built around a modular display and action system so actions come in standard formats with standard attributes. They are easy to break off or install more without bothering the main hack for updates. The standardization allows for global features to be available without the need for repeated coding, as well as exposing an API for third parties - all encouraging widespread support. It also means that no matter who made your third party actionset, the settings will automatically be consistent and support all features.

The typical points hack will just blindly add points to user accounts, leaving abuse wide open.

vBC2D records every single transaction and comes with many powerful anti fraud techniques to prevent abuse and limit their effectiveness. Not only are there several ways to qualify user actions, but also ways of obfuscating the system so it is difficult for users to come up with ways to game the system.

The typical points hack is only for earning.

vBC2D supports charging as well as earning for all actions, making the need for a companion shop optional.

The typical points hack is a cryptic mess of settings and math.

vBC2D has been organized in a linear fashion where all related items are in exactly one place. All options are fully explained and you are only ever shown what is relevant. Even advanced and uncommon settings will not be in your way - unless you specifically want to use them. The system holds your hand and it is easy to see exactly what your settings have done and quickly revert them if needed.

The typical points hack gets bloated once you've set up many options.

vBC2D was written in a way to be scalable yet maintain all of its features. A careful watch over database and code was kept to ensure the least amount of impact at all times. So far three big boards have used vBC2D for several months and reported no change in their performance.

The typical points hack is just the same old thing every few months.

vBCredits 1 was the typical points hack, and I had three years of customer support and requests to know what works and what didn't, and what everyone had wished points hacks would do but it just wasn't happening. Finally, vBC2D was written from the ground up and every single request was included in a unified, ultimate package.

Its there somting more I have to set up for charging for content, when a member clicks the button the header loads in the post and then it stalls .

Code:

In order to upgrade or install vBCredits, you must upload credits_installer.php to the plugins folder within your forum directory!

Is what it comes up with when attempting to install Credits on fresh install of vbps 4.1 PL2

Has this been fixed now?

Thanks

You can restore this in the meantime by editing admincp/credits_admin.php and finding:

PHP Code:


			
// ##################### Start Events Update ###################################

and inserting this ABOVE that:

PHP Code:


			
// ##################### Start Displays Update ###################################

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'update_displays')
{
    $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
        'active' => TYPE_ARRAY
    ));

    $displays = $db->query_read("SELECT displayid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "credits_display");

    while ($display = $db->fetch_array($displays))
    {
        $db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "credits_display SET enabled = " . intval($vbulletin->GPC['active'][$display['displayid']]) . " WHERE displayid = '" . $db->escape_string($display['displayid']) . "'");
    }

    $db->free_result($displays);
    vbcredits_cache();

    define('CP_REDIRECT', 'credits_admin.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . 'do=displays');
    print_stop_message('credits_displays_saved');
}

It is on the radar, but no official timeframe is available sorry. It will probably be one of the sooner ones though, because it seems to have a mild number of people asking for it.

Sorry, but that was something that was forgotten to be changed, but that means you are lacking the (forum)/dbtech/credits folder, or at least the credits_installer.php file within it. Make sure your FTP program deep-uploads directories. If that one is missing, you are probably missing others.

petergharris · #**258** 12-22-2010, 08:47 AM

Sorry if I have missed it, but is there any way that you can give members credits automatically when they go into another usergroup.

Equally how do you give members credits through the admincp.

That is the Welcome action you should attach/edit an event for - the Activity Amounts Configuration menu link

You can modify the accounts of users by going to the Recalculate User Accounts menu link.
