About vBOffers

vBOffers is a virtual currency plugin for vBulletin that enables you to generate revenue for your community by allowing your users to complete offers from advertisers in exchange for virtual currency or donation points.

Key Benefits

Thousands Of Offers

vBOffers aggregates thousands of high-quality offers from multiple sources, including sources dedicated to specific geographic regions. That means a wide selection of great offers for your members to choose from.

Easy Installation

Just sign up for a vBOffers partner account, upload a handful of files, install the vBOffers product file and configure a few settings in the vBulletin administration area and you?re ready to go!

Multiple Integration Options

vBOffers can function as a standalone vBulletin plugin or it can be used alongside the popular vBCredits virtual currency plugin. Integration with additional vBulletin virtual currency plugins is planned and for large partners, vBOffers can develop custom integrations.

User Recognition

vBOffers makes it easy to recognize users who have helped your community through a leaderboard, customizable user titles and postbit awards.

Real-Time Reporting

Check your earnings in real time through your vBOffers partner dashboard. You can also set up and manage vBOffers installations for multiple communities through a single vBOffers partner account.

Advanced Offer Optimization

The offers we display to members of your community are constantly optimized. We look at historical performance as well as member-specific behavioral and geographic data to ensure that the most relevant and highest converting offers are displayed to your members.

Requirements

This version of vBOffers requires vBulletin 3.8.0 or greater. A separate version that supports vBulletin 3.6.8+ and vBulletin 3.7.0+ is available in this thread.

vBulletin 4.0 support is coming very soon!

Installation

1. Register your site for free here (to obtain the necessary Site Hash and Site Key): http://www.vboffers.net/signup/
2. Unzip the vBOffers distribution file you downloaded.
3. Connect to the FTP of your vBulletin server and upload the contents of the upload folder , maintaining the directory structure. For instance, all of the files contained in the upload/admincp folder should be uploaded into the admincp folder on your FTP server.
Note: be sure to upload the contents of the images/misc/vboffers to the images/misc folder for all of the active image theme folders. Not sure where your image theme folders are? Through the vBulletin admin control panel, you can find these by looking at the Miscellaneous Images Folder stylevar settings.
4. Install the vBOffers Product File: The vBOffers distribution file you unzipped in Step 1 above contains a folder named product. In it is a file with an .xml extension. Log into your vBulletin admin control panel and browse to the Plugins & Products > Manage Products page. Click on the ?Add / Import? link. Then click on ?Choose File? and select this .xml file. Finally, click the ?Import? button. vBOffers will be installed on your vBulletin forum.
5. Configure vBOffers: Once vBoffers has been installed, your vBulletin admin control panel should reload. To configure vBOffers, browse to the vBOffers menu on the sidebar. At a minimum, you must add and save your Site Hash and Site Key via the vBOffers -> General Settings page before you can start serving offers.

For more details about all of the vBOffers configuration options, click here.

Developer Program

Are you a vBulletin developer? Integrate vBOffers into your vBulletin products through the vBOffers Developer Program and we?ll share revenue with you on every offer completed through your product! vBOffers includes developer functions that do all the heavy lifting, so typical integrations are quick and easy.

For more information about the vBOffers Developer Program, please visit http://www.vboffers.net/developers/. To apply, please contact us here: http://www.vboffers.net/developers/apply/.

That's weird. The email system is through domains.live.com and the mx works just fine. Is there a way I can change my email?

Are we able to have members earn paid subscriptions when they get enough? Once my members get enough credits how can I allow them to purchase a paid subscription with the points?

We have internally tested an add-on that integrates with subscriptions to do something similar to this. If you could contact us through the contact form in your account, we can discuss your needs and see if we can put something together for you.

Your site was approved several hours later and you were emailed an approval confirmation at 5:07 pm Pacific Time on August 17, 2010. In other words, your claim that you waited "more than 24 hours for approval" is patently false.

Finally, for what it's worth, the error you reported to us was not a "database error." You reported a single error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/ernest/public_html/forum/includes/class_vboffers.php on line 18

This error is most commonly seen in PHP4 environments, or when both PHP4 and PHP5 are both present and the file is being sent to PHP4.

While I apologize that you were not emailed right away with information that one of our developers would be looking into this upon his return next week, it's disappointing that you'd question our professionalism when you have posted inaccurate information about the length of time you waited for approval and the nature of the error you experienced.
The only email I got was dated the 18th, after I tried to contact you the second time. It was the standard "your account has been approved" email. That also doesn't explain why there is no alternative contact for you folks -- no address, no phone number -- nothing. That's suspect in my eyes.

I am yet to receive ANY kind of response from vboffers.net other than the response posted here.

I run a high-volume, consumer-centric portal, which should be atttactive to the folks who designed your program. It sure looked like a good fit to me until I ran into this. Your response here only further demonstrates the level of committment you have to your product.

I'm guessing this Mod doesn't work anymore? Because it requires Site hash and key.
