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!

I have no intention of abandoning this hack.

There are already some paid addons and branding free options and such, which helps explain why I intend to stick around

I am somewhat new to this...but I am guessing your vbcredit is a something like an Icash maybe better I dont know...if I use your vbcredit will it work with Ishop? or thats why you are creating vbcommerce for vbcredit? is that your version of Ishop. Thanks Man, keep up the good work! About the installing what is TMS file in the instruction I just read it I am bout to install!

Dark you do some kinda donation thing man you seem to be on this alot...if I find it useful in the future I dont mind donating a little something I am not a coder but I am sure its hard work!

Yes, I am working on my own shop system.. see my site for a preview. It does work with Ishop. TMS is a template modification system... if you have it installed the templates will be edited for you, otherwise don't worry about it and just edit them yourself. Thanks for your support though

1. How can I change the word 'credits' to something else of my choice? In the instructions, it says to edit the global phrase. Where's that located at?
2. I want my members to only receive 3 credits per post in each forum. How can I do that?

Phrase editor... 1.4 has a link to it in the settings, so you will find it soon if you cant yet.
Usergroup editor is where you set each usergroup their stuff for each post and thread and like 11 other things (25ish in 1.4)

I'm loving this Thanks Darwaltz4, will donate once I install the credits system and store to go with it if it's working properly.

This credits and store mod will help me so much its unbelievable!

I have the next problem (http://www.onone.co.il/images/11.GIF) when people enter the mode, what shuold i do to fix it?...

[Darkwaltz4]

That is interesting, its when there are no transaction logs. I will fix it in 1.4, its a division by 0 bug for the pagenav.. Dont know why I dont get the error displayed on any of my stuff, perhaps you are using an older version of vb? :-p

edit: yes the pagenav function should drop out before the Divide by zero issue in the conditional right before it. not sure why it goes past on yours. maybe a bad perpage setting?

its nice seeing my hack being used with other languages - it makes all the irritating phrasing stuff worthwhile

[AdmiralGeek]

I was wondering if i could change the name "credits" to an alternative name where ever it will show up? Is this possible, or would it envolove to much editing?

[txspaderz]

Yes, search this thread for that information. It's been posted more than 5 times

[chris1979]

It's a phrase, so you can change it easily. I don't have credits on my site - I have magic beans. hahaha

[chris1979]

Is it possible for the transaction log to show how many points people have got for logging in and posting? At the moment (I think) it only shows credits people give them.

[Darkwaltz4]

not only has it been posted in the thread endlessly, its also in the instructions you were supposed to be following when you installed.

as for the transaction log, it doesnt display any awards given because 1) there are too many awards to keep track of every single one given every time 2) several times credits are given to multiple people at once 3) your server would hate you from the giant jump in queries 4) the database table for the transaction log would expand in size faster than the points table :-p not to mention you would quickly lose track of which transaction log was referring to..

i use the transaction log for displaying the credits lost / received directly because of another person. stuff that a user might get confused about where the giant leap or loss in their credits came from

i hope this clears things up.

testing is going well for 1.4, will be released very soon.
