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, and if you like it you can nominate this for MOTM. 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!

Thanks for answer, but that author was last online on 10 Jul 2008 :-(. Could you please look at its hack to modify it in the way you mentioned? It is only one xml file with code 3 pages long - a piece of cake for you ;-).

this should do the trick: go into vb admin panel, Plugins & Products tab and the Plugin Manager link. Find the vBCredits - Earn / Lose Granted / Received Reputation plugin and edit it. Change Execution Order to 2 and save it. See if that fixes it.

I did it but it has no effect, credits are still not receiving for reputation. If I disable plugin "Alter Reputation" (which has the same hook location "reputation_add_process" as plugin "vBCredits - Earn / Lose Granted / Received Reputation") from product "User Defined User Points", credits are receiving (but that hack is not working of course). Another idea please?

wait, so where did "User Defined User Points" come from? Maybe you can describe the whole problem to me via PM, the story has been stretched out and hard to remember what you have said is going on so far

follow the install instructions and it should be there when you are done

I just installed this and tried to mass credit update people's vbcredits and got this error:

PHP Code:

Warning: Division by zero in [path]/admincp/credits_admin.php on line 1283
Processing: 1 


Where would this have taken place at?

Also where do I state how many credits someone gets for a post or their birthday?

for the error: set to 1 your global setting for number of valid referrals per referral point - thats not actually the award they get for a referral

THAT is set in the usergroup settings, which is also where the other two settings you are looking for are.

[edytwinky]

Thank you. That worked perfectly.
