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!

How do you turn on the threadaward gif pic so credits can be awarded per each thread or post. It is not showing on my forum. I have completed all template modifications

vB: 3.7.2
vBCredits: 1.4rc2

[Darkwaltz4]

that is part of the Post Award System, and to get it to show up you must belong to a group that has nonzero limits set in the usergroup settings for that feature. for unlimited use for groups you trust, like admin, set all 4 limits to -1 for unlimited.

there are more third party addons which can use credits simply by changing a setting in the third party hack, but i dont have a comprehensive list (mainly cause they dont need to inform me when they get made) for example.. the casino, p3tz, ishop, name that tune, etc

Thank you.

Can you explain a little better, I am not getting it. What do I need to check or change? And where ?

[Darkwaltz4]

in the usergroup editor, there is a new section of settings called Donations and Post Award System. The last 6 settings in this section detail the limits you can use for the system. Because credits awarded through this system come from thin air, you generally dont want to give free reign of it to just any group (except perhaps admin). So, if you want to give access to everyone but keep it from getting out of hand figure out the different ways to limit the system. Any limit with a value of 0 will prevent that group from accessing the system at all, and any limit with -1 value will cause it to be ignored - all 4 would be unlimited access overall (again, best for admin). Once a group has some level of access the icon will appear in threads with the ajax menu for them to award up to their defined limit (or as much as they want if they have unlimited).

sorry for asking silly question but does this work like vplaza...like members can gifts to each other and all...

[Darkwaltz4]

shop system is not included. before you ask, go peruse vbcredits.com a bit first

Two things:

1. How can you add the banking and credits links to the custom user CP template used by the user cp icons modification? Could a future version use a template hook instead for these user cp links to make it workable with various modifications?

2. Progress on vB Commerce?
