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 PixelFX. It's with great hope that Darkwaltz4 focuses on some wonderful extensions and add-ons to the upcoming vBCredits rather than a replica credits solution. I think that will only cause more confusion, and divide support and integration for other developers on vb.org. We have enough of that with vb's maintenance releases!

Looking forward to vBCII!

^.^ Less of a danger with DBTech than other companies since DBTech is a large successful team - even if one person was to leave, there are plenty of others to carry on the work.

Can't say the same for smaller companies mind you. I'm sure Rob has no intention of ever doing so, but there's always a greater risk of very small companies with only 1 person running things going down. At DBTech the way the agreements are set up, even if one person was to leave, the rights are still transferred so the products can continue to be sold, supported and developed by the remaining team members =)

=) Thanks for bringing up the point though. It's important for people to understand the relative risks in purchasing products - thats why all of our products are available for download immediately upon payment - theres no chance of everything suddenly vanishing without getting the product you pay for.

I feel this is important, and the more open way to do business.

anyone know why the cost of the arcade isnt being deducted from credits? i posted same question on arcade thread

[ArnyVee]

SpeedJunkyz, I noticed that you are using ibProArcade. Check here: vBCredits.com Official Arcade Support Thread

Hope that helps! :up:

[Joey Link]

How soon after a user completes an activity, such as making a post, do their credits show up?

[ArnyVee]

The credits should show up immediately after adding a post. That is, if all usergroup permissions and credits are setup correctly. Default setup should be sufficient, but just check the specific usergroup permissions if they are not showing for you.

Official Release for vBCredits.com vBCredits v1.5.0 Gold Release in New Thread, this is to support vbcredits version released by vbcredits.com and our team. Here at vbulletin.org

[bluecamosis]

I was forced to upgrade my vbulletin. Now I can't get my site to show because of this message: "Fatal error: Call to undefined method vBulletinHook::init() in /home/greatha1/public_html/plugins/credits_plugins.php on line 16"

I have NO idea how to fix this. Can someone help me?

[Darkwaltz4]

what version did you upgrade to?
put this in your config.php:

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


then you can get into your admincp to disable vbcredits
