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 the mod, I am using this with the ibProArcade.

I added a scheduled task to run every hour but am getting more out of it than I'd like. My goal is to increase the jackpot for every arcade game by 5 every hour. Here's my code.

$Jackpot = $vbulletin->db->query("SELECT * FROM vBull_games_list");
while($row = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($Jackpot)) {
    $vbulletin->db->query_write("update vBull_games_list set jackpot = jackpot + '5'");
}

Rather than going up by 5, it is increasing by 40. Since I only have 8 games installed right now, it appears to by multiplying 5 x 8; is it running 8 times for each game?

What change should I make to have it only run once per game? Any idea?

Thank you for your time.

EDITED:

Well, this appears to have fixed my problem; I think there is an easier way. I remember doing an update similiar to this once upon a time, but I can't remember how.

$Game = 0;
$Jackpot = $vbulletin->db->query("SELECT * FROM vBull_games_list");
while($row = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($Jackpot)) {
	$Game = $Game + 1;
	$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE vBull_games_list SET jackpot = jackpot + '1' WHERE gid = '$Game' ");
}

I installed this mod and love it. However, at the bottom of every page is a piece of text that says "vBCredits v1.4 Copyright ?2007 - 2008, PixelFX Studios". This is nopt a problem. What is a problem is that when the links are clicked, it goes to these sites and leaves mine.

What I want to do is make the links open a new browser window. I cannot seem to find in the templates or phrases where these links are set. Can somebody please tell me how to make a modification to this so I can just add "target='_blank'" to these links?

How do you turn off loan all together?

[MorrisMcD]

I still have the old version of vbbux/vbplaza on my board.. I know this is a noobish question for many of you.. But there has to be a way to simply copy over the amount the current users have in the vbbux and vbbank fields in the user table to the fields used by vbcredits.. Could someone kindly help me out with a query to do so?

I found how to turn of loans but now I have 2 new questions:

1) Is negative awards working yet? Last time I asked Dark said it was turned off for the last release.

2) Where is the log of all member transactions? I can't seem to find that anywhere.

Thanks for the help.

[Scarface Claw]

The release notes mentions that VBC can be used in conjunction with other mods, does anyone know of such mods?

I've been spending the past 2 hours trying to see how they're getting 2 points for new thread using a secondary account and can't seem to figure it out.

I want to offer them 5 points for new threads so is it worth me setting that to 3 (3 + the random 2 making it 5) and 1 point for posting replies so leaving that option to 0 cause of the random 1 point out of the blue for posting replies? As this might be a bug with the current version?

If it's not a bug then could you please help me solve this little problem?

Thanks

(P.S. It's 3:35am lol so my apologies if the above doesn't make 100% sense )

Did you make a forum override that set it as not 0? If this is still a problem PM me an admin login with usergroup permissions and I will check your settings.

Meanwhile I changed in the template the condition to show the credits image, and I used the same as the "infractions" one. So now the credits.gif image shows up to the admin (because the infractions one is active) and the link related (http://www.myspace.com/forum/credits.php?p=xxxx) actually works fine.
So the problem should really be in the "if" condition.
If you have any other suggestion where the problem could be in the original If condition I'd really appreciate it.

What version of PHP are you using?
