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!

Yes i saw that one, but i'm far from being a coder, I need to know how to fit that in the postbit, I have various custom fields in my postbit and i want the credit field to fit in between them, or under them, i've toyed around using those codes but i got all these errors that's why i'm asking.

[Darkwaltz4]

hi everyone, im back, i have an update for all of you too

as well as the vbookie plugin, and screenshots

Okay, from everyone's feedback, I will put together a post award type of system.

I will look into some converters for icash and ishop, provided they still exist on vBulletin.org, I know a bunch of them have been abandoned and removed.... If anyone can email me a copy of these hacks I can work on conversions faster (next best thing would be phpmyadmin access to your databases...)

Also, I am still putting together what a companion shop would include, however a full-blown project purchasing system (like what vbulletin and others use for real online sales) is in the works, but will most likely not be a free hack due to the size and complexity. This is meant for using in other hacks such as vBookie (confirmed) and some other things I will release later.

Look back tomorrow for the update (Dont forget to update to today's v1.1 for the time being!)

Edit: Legacy or the new postbits should still show credits, as well as custom styles provided they still contain the $template_hook variable. If that is not there then the plugin cannot insert it into your postbit, and it will have to be added manually. Same goes for any custom profile edits. The instructions for manual inserts to both of them are located in this post.

Two feature suggestions:

It would be great if it could be tied into ibproarcade for game play costs, jackpot, etc.

Also some type of a bank system where members could receive interest on their credits.

Its nice to see a new points system that is made for 3.6.7. Thanks!!

[Darkwaltz4]

I downloaded a bunch of hacks to check for integration and ill post the results and instructions tomorrow.

[AzzidReign]

I'm loving the progress here! Do you have an estimate as to how much your store will cost? And in the store, could people purchase points/credits with real money? If not, I'd like to request that feature.

[OS Master]

I have just installed version 1.1, and I love it! Hope this mod develops even more. Thanks a bunch!

[jasculs]

The updates are nice...What if you don't use the memberlist and it is inactive. Is there anyway that you can see who has the most credits then. Like a who has the most credits page or top credit statistics?

[Darkwaltz4]

Well, I figured it went perfect with the memberlist, and seeing the top lowest credit owners is kind of pointless (since legions will have 0), which means just top 10 or so.

If you can come up with more statistics other than top 10 Ill think of something standalone.

I am going to go offline and work on the next version in about a half hour, and the next update should be in about 18 hours :-p stay tuned!

everyone submit your ideas and be on the lookout for things not working.
