Miscellaneous Hacks - uCash 4.x

11/20/09 - uCash 4.0.1 released, adding the option to edit a user's points when editing a user in the Admin CP. For some reason I thought that was already implemented. Whatever, it's there now. Enjoy.

Welcome to uCash 4.0.x!

uCash is a points system for vBulletin. 4.0.x is the continuation of uCash 3.9, which is a rewrite of previous uCash versions from scratch designed for vBulletin 4 and up. Simply upload the files located in the 'upload' folder and import product-ucash.xml in the Product Manager of vBulletin (allowing overwrite if you are upgrading). If you are installing this as a first time user of uCash then congrats, everything should be working and you can configure the options to your liking from there.

If you have a previous (pre-3.9) install of uCash or uCash & uShop still in the database, please read "oldupgrades.txt".

If you have any issues to report with this addon, please post it in this thread. Include all relevant details, such as vBulletin version and any previous install of uCash or uCash & uShop and its version number. Please do not PM or IM me for support unless you have a showstopping bug or exploit to report.

Wall of text aside, please enjoy the latest release of uCash, and feel free to post any ideas or comments here. Thanks!

For a more full list of current features in this beta, look at the screenshots displaying the main settings and per-forum settings. Note that screenshots may be out of date. For full-sized screenshots, go here: http://cuphat.com/mods/ucash/

Can uCash be integrated with Helpful Answers or the Thanks Hack?

Hello!

To begin please let me say - THANK YOU so MUCH for this AWESOME Add On!!

I have someone helping me try to modify it a bit, but we can't quite get it. What we want to do is to tie uCash with the Helpful Hack:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=233296

So, when someone clicks that a post is Helpful, then they get X amount of uCash.

The person who is helping us tried for a few hours... and he says he can't figure it out. He said "I can't find the door..." Please if you could help us to figure out how actions taken within vBulletin are associated with uCash.

THANKS!!

You Can make it in Langage section in AdminCP.

I'm not seeing anything in that regard in my ACP, and no option for such in the uCash control panel area.

Seconded (thirded, I guess). I would love to be able to have it say:

Money: $17,580.00

instead of:

Points: 17,580.00

Ideally, a field option to replace "Points" and a field option for a currency symbol (with an option of none), with an option to either put it in front of or behind the number, which ever way is appropriate for the currency in question.

Phrase 'ucash_points' and templates 'postbit_ucash' and 'memberinfo_ucash'. Both the things you want are easily doable.

I've installed uCash and it seem to be working perfectly. Thanks for this. I do have a question though. I'm trying to get the points postbit to match the others in the list with my style with that nifty little box around it. I have the div code to make it match the others, but I can't find the snippet I need to wrap the code around to accomplish this.

Could you give me some idea of what to look for here?

We are currently using vbcedits but are pushed against a time frame to move to vb4 in which vbcredits will not function.

Is there a conversion script from vbcredits to ucash and is there a addon that allows members to use paypal to donate for credits.

Cheers

Any update on uShop? Just curious how it's coming along and if it's going to be released soon!

[Zachery]

GeekyDesigns is currently a bit busy with some client requests. We'll get it out as soon as we're able to. But there is not an ETA on release at this time.

I have a second question, hopefully someone can pass on some help.

I've turned on the "user referral" for vB and thinking it can integrate easily with the points given by uCash for referrals. At first glance it seems it's not an automated thing but I could be wrong. So my questions are:

1- I know I can email someone a link to a thread and in that email is a referral id attached to the url of the thread. Is there a place to find a referral link to the site in general? Mine is almost exclusively a members forum so almost everyone will have to sign up. I suppose it's more like a mini affiliate program link to my site where the only benefit is to gain points. So the "affiliate" must already be a member.

2- Is there a way to automate the addition of points for referrals via this method or do I just have to check the referrals list and add the points manually?
