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!

It adds one new Credits text after every post when the last poster has more than 0.

If I have a thread with 5 posters and 2 of them has more than 0 credits, then I see 2 times Credits text, not 5.

Any ideas?

I know exactly what the problem is. I see you edited it to show a dollar sign. You most likely forgot to add it TWICE to the plugin. You see, there was a bug in the template hook in vb3.6.7 (which is hopefully fixed now in 3.6.8), and that plugin was trying to compensate for it. vbcredits 1.4 should now be able to take out the compensation code But until then -- there are two lines that look pretty much the same, if you updated one bit of html, update the second bit as well so they have the same matching HTML (not the variables). This should fix the doubling.

Are you selecting all the credit awards?

Should be fine -- arent you all glad theres no file edits?

Will come back to it when and if the edit template instructions have been written for people like me with limited knowledge on template editing.

I suggest you read this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=39142
I try to write my instructions for people who understand the things on this page, otherwise it would irritate the majority who do. Furthermore, did you try the template hook instructions at the bottom of the Instructions.txt file?

Thanks PlymWS for writing up the detailed instructions for me though And I'll include that in 1.4

I got it working Darkwaltz4, thank you

It would be great if there is "paid by Topic or hidden post" function in vBCommerce. It allows users to do free trade. Members of certain usergroup can set the price for their threads or some hidden content of their posts.

No problem. I know it can be a bit daunting for the uninitiated.

Is 1.4 going to include a way to promote someone to a new usergroup once they receive a ceratin number of points ?

i am looking into paid subscription purchases with credits, although it kind of conflicts with the paid subscription support with my paypal addon >.< What good is buying a paid subscription with credits, that awards you with credits?

[Phil4387]

I've just upgraded from 1.2 to 1.3 and whenever I try to appropriate credits it doesn't include the credits gained through posts (posting, own thread posting, and post size credits). The other options I'm trying to appropriate work though (induction, referral, and new thread credits).

[cheat-master30]

Just posting that I am now running vBulletin 3.6.8 with this and it's working perfectly fine, so the upgrade should be no issue. However, I will ask about this:

keep in mind 1.4 will include a bank

Will this bank be better than IBank and have more stuff? Because I can't be the only one who though IBank was extremely basic and slightly lacking in features... As for the shop which goes with this in future:

1. Will it be better than IShop?
2. Can I still use some of the same item graphics with this newer shop add on?
3. What kinds of things can be sold? I hear about user titles, but anything else?
4. Can you add custom user title effects as things to purchase, such as right to left titles, bold titles, ones with strikethrough applied, etc? Note that these effects would only require extremely simple HTML, if you were wondering.
5. What other mods will you integrate either this or the shop with? The arcade is a great idea for integration, but any others planned, like using the shop to buy styles (for board or with Interactive Profiles Mod)?

[Darkwaltz4]

I am combing everything from 1.3 to ensure all the maths are right and there especially the yourownthread, postsize, and forum overrides. I've also switched around the postbit codes so that there is only one record - and you can edit its template instead of the plugin.

Bank: will blow you away.
Shop: will also blow you away

1) yes
2) i dont see why not
3) THATS a secret i will post screenshots on vbcredits.com in a little while, will announce when. will also blow you away...
4) see 3. if you used vbplaza, i will say it does what it did, except much more and a hell of a lot better and nicer looking and more integrated into your forum.
5) i create addons as they get requested. next after arcade addons is yaas addon

also, i am toying with a third script to go with the first two, to create the most powerful trio of vbcredits systems... the second one should be out in a week, the third in 2 or 3 weeks (depending on how fast everything else goes)

In "Update Counters" i get 0 credits on this values (the other work).
- Referral Credits
- Time Credits
- Reputation Granting Credits
- Positive Reputation Credits
- Negative Reputation Credits
- Posting Credits
- Own Thread Posting Credits
- Post Size Credits

The group was checked.

vBCasino? Sorry, probably the only major mod they haven't actually got here beginning with a C. But whatever it is, I can tell it will be awesome.

As for the question answers:

1. That means I'll install it.

2. Thanks. Much less work then.

3. Okay...

4. I never actually used vB Plaza. When I joined here, it had already been removed for security issues.

5. Nice.
