Just follow the directions carefully in the zip based on whether you are clean installing or upgrading


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. 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!

Thanks.

you can also use the manage usergroup awards link in the vbcredits acp menu to set many usergroup's vbcredits settings at once

instead come talk to me and ill help fix it. 9 times out of 10 it was caused by settings you didnt realize were keeping things hidden.

And I'm particularly cautious when I make template edits. Each and every problem I encountered was because I overlooked something very small. It's a great mod, but very sensitive to proper setup. It's, unfortunately, the nature of a good points system. It needs to be precise and particular to function properly.

Nice mod.Thank u very much

[Darkwaltz4]

youre welcome

and if youre wondering "Why, Darkwaltz4, must I do template edits? Some hacks just edit existing variables or use vBulletin's template hooks system! Why arent you cool like that??"

well, I outlined it on this post to erase all doubt :-p and ever since ditching template hook support, stuff shows up for people 100% of the time (except when settings are not followed or *sigh* when people just didnt do them)

http://www.vbcredits.com/forum/showp...4&postcount=55

so...kind of a necessary evil that works the best across the wide variety of situations. may suck a bit in the beginning, but will be reliable and consistent from then on. otherwise use TMS (which suffers from the same limitations, but is more flexible than the template hooks, so I still support it)

[yingzhou]

Why I delete my member's post, they credits don't reduce? Im using 1.4RC1.

[Darkwaltz4]

do you have a negation multiplier set? default is -1.5, look in award settings

[dinodonk]

can you add feature to earn credit based on number of attachment and attachment file size?

[Darkwaltz4]

1.4 has an upload attachment credit. for each attachment. thats it though. download related i think ill be infusing with my paid hack vBLimiter

[Gena24]

I keep getting an error after installing this mod:


CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

So I have to disable it.
I enabled it again just now to catch what that error was exactly and it WORKED! But then it flashed off to that CGU error again with out me refreshing the page at all.

Please help

[Darkwaltz4]

and what page was this happening on? 1.3 had issues with servers not liking how forum overrides were applied

also, thanks to everyone voting vbcredits.com BOTM
