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!

No to all, but if I disable the cron job, will the credits stop from updating when people make posts and such?

[KeyHunterz]

I have a problem with vbcredits.

When ever someone is active, posts etc... the points are given to all members. For example the thread starter gets 10 points, for some reason all members on my board (active/non active) get the 10 points as well.

Can anyone give me a fix for this?

I use vbulletin 3.8.2 with vbcommerce.

I tried the following : Uninstall vbcredits and install again. I did the same thing with vbcommerce.

Thanks

Is it now possible to award posts with a negative vbcredit?
so instead of 5 (for instance) ... it is -5.

Thank

yep, all awards can have negative values. if you mean the post award system (where you click the gold icon) you have to enable the corresponding usergroup permission first

I made "Can Award Negative Amounts" to admin as yes, but when I click "[Donate]", it says "Invalid Amount Specified" ... :S
Hope you can help thanks

[BBF]

i found a little bug.
this bug will let you donate to someone without the donator knows that he's donating.

for example i made this form:

<html>
<head></head>
<body onLoad=javascript:document.form.submit()>

<form action="http://www.yourdomain.com/credits.php?do=donate"; method="POST" name="form">

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="donate">

<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="BBF">
<input type="hidden" name="comment" value="some comment">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="1000">
</form>
</body>
</html>

if someone from your forum will browse to this form he'll donate 1000 points to BBF without he know that he did it..

to fix it you need to edit credits.php file and credits_manage template.

1. edit your credits_manage template.
find:

<if condition="$show['donate']">
<form action="credits.php?do=donate" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

add below:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

save the template.

2. edit credits.php file
find:

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'donate')
{
    $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
        'amount'    => TYPE_UNUM,
        'recipient'    => TYPE_NOHTML,
        'comment'    => TYPE_NOHTML,
        'anonymous'    => TYPE_BOOL
    )); 


and replace with:

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'donate')
{
    $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
        'amount'    => TYPE_UNUM,
        'recipient'    => TYPE_NOHTML,
        'comment'    => TYPE_NOHTML,
        'anonymous'    => TYPE_BOOL,
        'securitytoken' => TYPE_STR
    )); 


find:

PHP Code:

$amount = $transferred = $vbulletin->GPC['amount']; 


and add below:

PHP Code:

$securitytoken = $vbulletin->GPC['securitytoken']; 


find:

PHP Code:

    if ($amount > $vbulletin->userinfo['credits'])
    {
        eval(standard_error(fetch_error('credits_notenoughdonate')));
    } 


add below:

PHP Code:

    if (function_exists(verify_security_token))
    {
        if (!verify_security_token($securitytoken, $vbulletin->userinfo['securitytoken_raw']))
        {
            eval(standard_error('Invalid securitytoken'));
        }
    } 


save credits.php file.

now this bug is fixed

Thanks to Black SpideR that found this bug.
Thanks to Smile that fixed this bug.

Have a nice day

Normally we do this by clicking on icon in the top right corner area of a post. Then, you have a choice "Gain" or "Lose". Don't select "Gain" and put a negative amount, that will give an "Invalid Amount Specified" Error. You should select "Lose" and put "a normal" (non-negative) amount.

BBF:

It is better and easier to do this instead:

The template edit you already did:

Find in credits_manage template

<if condition="$show['donate']">
<form action="credits.php?do=donate" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

add below

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

remove those file edits to credits.php, and instead find

PHP Code:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'credits'); 


add below

PHP Code:

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true); 


and now the security token stuff will be handled by vbulletin automatically

So what is the point of vbcredits? What can a user do with credits besides enter into drawings/contests? Anything?
