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!

I have the post award system activated but no credit award icon ? Everything else works just fine

Suggestions ?

[ArnyVee]

What does everyone use as a "shop" to use their credits for?

I've been wanting to add this mod, but wanted a solid option for where to spend the credits earned. Any suggestions?

[down.low]

I have a quick question for anyone that can answer, I have no options at all, in usercp, in admin cp, or vbulletin options for raffle/lottery?

How do I turn these options on? The faq for vbcredits on vbcredits.com is blank...

How do I purchase lottery tickets or even set any of that up?

Credits work fine.

Awards work fine.

Savings works fine.

Loans works fine.

Donations work fine.

Installation was a clean install, and flawless. All template edits were done manually which I've triple checked now. I've read 45 of these pages with no luck. I've signed up at vbcredits and for some reason I don't seem to be getting the activation email and theres no option to re-send it????

Could anyone help me?

Make sure you use the right version of vbcredits for the right version of vbulletin, the license system on our site is the download for the vbulletin 3.8.x version of vbcredits, while the version in this thread is for 3.7, although there isn't much difference.

Make sure you follow the instructions for installing, carefully, and don't skip anything this includes all template edits. If your still having issues, please use vbcredits.com for support.

we've released our itemshop for vbcredits, called vBCommerce, which is free, and has gone gold now. As to what to spend credits on, we've released a number of free addons that extend the fuctionality of our itemshop in a number of ways. More information on that can be found on our site. We designed the itemshop to be modular so people can use it for a number of systems. Both addons found on this site and our own site.

Sorry but I can't seem to find out how to edit which credit awards are active and how much they give out.

So I would naturally think it would work for my vBulletin since it's vB3.8

Yep, I made the 14 edits in the 10 templates, which I might add was easy. The FAQ page on vbcredits.com page for "vbcredits" is empty. I registered there almost 24 hours ago and still haven't received the activation email. There's no option to resend it either. I can sign in, FAQ page is still empty whether I'm signed in or not. The install was fine. That's if the install directions the author provided were correct.

I just want to know about the raffle & lottery that's supposed to be on this release. I don't need the shop really. I have a link on the usercp for "Donations & Drawings", when I click it I go to a "Donations" box and a "Richest Players" list. Wheres the raffle? The very few options even talking about drawings is in "vbcredits specialty options" but they only ask about people picking numbers, public winner display, show in postbit, and that's about it....

So,.. the question remains from previously, can anyone out there help me if they can????

from my admin cp page I'm seeing this at the bottom after a botched attempt to clean up my forum...could someone please give me some pointers on how to fix this error. Right now I'm not intrested in using the product.

thanks

Can you check your apache error logs to see what those actual errors were? If they were in the past, try to trigger a new error and then check your logs. Post here what it says (although sometimes they will tell you directly what is wrong, such as wrong file permissions)

We had an emergency server move which has since been completed.

In vBCredits they are called Drawings, and you manage them from the link under the vbcredits menu in the admincp. You have to set some up, and make sure each usergroup has a nonzero limit for the amount of tickets they can purchase. Afterwards you will see drawings and the ability to buy tickets for them in the manage credits page in the usercp (the one with the donation form and the top richest members)

We had server move, so email system might not have been working at the time. It is up and fine now. PM me your username and I will resend your activation on the site.

They are set per usergroup in the usergroup settings. You can turn any of them off by putting 0 for the value.

vbulletin_credits.php is part of vbulletin, not vBCredits (in this case, credits refers to the list of people who made vbulletin, not earned currency points). Just put back that file from stock vbulletin zip and you should be fine.
