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 real plan to do that, maybe for 1.5. you should see the changes for that in 1.4, you might change your mind.

Addon: Point Rewards for Signature of the Week Mods. Both of them for people using both.

[Matty.B]

Great stuff! Loving it! Thanks heaps for a great mod!

hi Darkwaltz4,
It would be nice if you have some comments at the end of the credit post so other posters will see that it's a good or bad post.

you mean the post award system? (the coin icon next to posts)

if so, 1.4 already has something like this, youll see

[PinkDaisy]

Yes, set money row to 'credits' in the IShop settings.

This does not work for me. I have installed the new Ishop and have had vbcredits working for a bit.. and changing the money row does nothing for me. Any idea how I can have my users buy these items with their credits??

Thanks!

[Darkwaltz4]

are you sure you are editing the IShop settings and NOT ICash? (you wont even need ICash installed)

OK, I will wait until the 1.4 will appear.

But I have another request/question. Data in transaction logs are unchangeable - this is correct in principle (becouse they are representing all non-standard actions from another users). But as I wrote earlier, I am using this function (adding credits only by myself) only a few times per week and it is really important to be lucid (to other users especially). So in the case I assign some points to someone by mistake (and there is always some mistake from human element sometimes), I have to remove these points by the same method (there is no transaction fee, fortunately). So in the transaction log will be record of both actions and there is no chance to remove them or at least to change the comment (if the comment would be editable, it would be really great). And there could be some other reasons to edit comment - for example to type more detail note over time or to correct grammar mistakes.

Perhaps it is possible in version 1.4 already, I don't know.

Positive. I don't have Icash installed at all and have it all with VBcredits.

1.4 introduces moderation for donations and post awards (and loans and savings deposits...) which include the ability to deny / reverse any of them via the ACP. there is also a marking system to indicate which posts have been awarded (turn offable of course) kind of like the post thanks hack, but expanding what the post award system does already. the post award system is completely expanded from 1.3

as for ishop, check your settings that they match mine. im using the latest versions of vbcredits and ishop available here on vborg (although if credits dont show up in the navbar its 1.4 code :-p). The settings is ALL i did to get it to use the credits.
