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!

How do I sent up an exchange "store" so member can exchange credits for services?

Thanks

[Darkwaltz4]

the store addon is being made called vBCommerce. You can try IShop in the meantime? Or do it manually

[wickland]

I am trying to set up a referral system, so how does one manually or automatically receive credit for referring a new member? If it's manual, where does the referee type in the user name of the referrer so they get credits?

Thanks

Hey Dark I just installed vbcredit I also wanted to change credit to some other kind of currency. I am confused as to which 'credits' phrase to change...is it in admincp or is it the template codes in the text file. If its the code in the text file I basically rename all the phrases 'credits' with whatever currency I am using correct, thanks

Set the amount you want users to get for each referral in the usergroup editor. Then set the criteria you want for a referral to count (number of days registered, postcount, etc). When someone signs up they type the name of their referral in their signup form. When the criteria is met (it gets checked every midnight) then the referrer gets the award, and the referree gets the referree bonus set in the main settings.

Do you have any plan so we could use the referrer's affiliate ID link to track who the referrer was? I think many new members are going to miss typing in the referrer's user name into the additional options when they register. If the affiliate ID was used (the referral affiliate link that a visitor clicks to enter the site), it would be a 100% success rate for the referrer and the referee wouldn't have to type any extra info.

[Darkwaltz4]

It also works that way. WHATEVER system you use for referrals (even if its a hack I havent heard of) vbcredits will see it and act on it (at midnight)

[wickland]

Oiy, now I'm starting to understand this better, this is just what I'm looking for. I have to practice with this for awhile and get the hang of it. Great hack, Installed

Thanks

You've got mail

I found the thinggy on my PC. Hope this helps. Can't wait to hear about the updates on the converter, my forum is crippled without the cash mod

[Darkwaltz4]

thanks! 3 new converters will be available at the release of 1.4, including uCash
