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!

okey ill wait for 1.4 and vbcommerce so i do them together

[PixelFx]

just a note that 1.3 is very stable if you wanted to get head start, and 1.4 will be a painless update :P Also we plan to release a stardard free version of our vBTracker software, on our site for those interested. I posted information there, support for that will be on our main site. We're just cleaning up code for that so lots of love coming down the pipe

Unfortunately, due to vbplaza having been BURNED INTO IT, youll have to do a slew of file edits to get them out and replaced with vbcredits code :-p So get ready for that.

What about on a fresh install of the Arcade?

Another possibility is to ask Mr. ZeroPage (a great guy and very supportive I might add) if could release "replacement files" for the arcade. Then we could just overwrite the other Arcade files with the one's you've already edited.

A thought?

Cheers,

You can try to ask, until then I will include the two hacked files for users who dont want to make the 20+ file edits. He might like the way this new version of support works.

Testing everything now

I think he will. I pm'd him, leaving links to this Mod and explaining that you intend to include his hacked files as part of the release for your Add-On. Told him to let myself or you know if this is not satifactory.

I can't imagine him minding, but good to let him know.

I don't think it will be long before vbCredits gets itself a spot in the Premium Modifications Area at vborg.

[Darkwaltz4]

that would be so cool.. but i thought vborg was going to discontinue all of the premium mod forums?

Thanks for asking him for me, I am still compiling a set of instructions for hacking it yourself, or if I am not allowed to post edited files of his.

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?

I don't use paid subscription or anything similar. I am using the points system to get a better idea of who is a "decent" site member. To gain points they need to post or thank posts. I want to use the points score of a user to limit their site access until they have a set points score. For example :

New User -> Registered Users Group ( which has limited site functionality )
Posts & Thanks posts -> Points score rises above limit
User moved -> New Usergroup without restrictions.

I am also looking at using the "Limit Attachment Views" so that people can only view 30 attachments per day. I could use a points promotion to encourage people to post etc. so they would get unlimited attachment views.

Hello, is somebody using vbCredits with RPG-Integration Hack?

[LightScribe]

Thank you for this. Great work.

[Darkwaltz4]

Two important updates:

1) Ton of errors in the mass credit updating script. Should all be out now, download and upload the credits_admin.php to your admincp folder, and you're done. You can then mass award everyone, and it should have the CORRECT values! >.<

2) ibProArcade Addon is complete! Check out this post for screenshots and the download for it.
