Just follow the directions carefully in the zip based on whether you are clean installing or upgrading


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. 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!

If I install it, will it calculate the credits based on previous posts threads etc?

[Darkwaltz4]

Yes, use the tool at the bottom of the update counters screen.

You can update it to do that in the Admin CP I think. Otherwise my credits total on my forum without enhancement would not currently be 186,971 when I just implemented it today.

Hi,
Everything is working great and I love this hack. I have even disabled the built in reputation system in favor of this.

However, after upgrading to v1.2, I get this error when I delete a thread:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:

                               UPDATE vb_user SET
                                        credits = CASE  WHEN userid IN (0,1) THEN credits + -2.285
, posts = CASE  WHEN userid IN (0,1) AND posts > 1 THEN posts - 1
 ELSE 0 END
                               WHERE userid IN (0,1);

MySQL Error  : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' posts = CASE  WHEN userid IN (0,1) AND posts > 1 THEN posts - 1
 ELSE 0 END
                       ' at line 3
Error Number : 1064

I have only changed the credits awarded for each action (+2 for thread, +0.03 per character of post and - for thread deletion). Even with the default credits value, when a thread is deleted, the author gets to keep the 'credits per character', or am I mistaken?

That may be reason for this, but I appreciate any help with this.

Thank you!

[Darkwaltz4]

no, credits per character is also taken into account, but i will check whats up with that error

Everyone using 1.2, please make this set of edits:

in functions_databuild.php, find all of the following (appears three times):

//obsolete

This will fix the deletion queries, sorry about that.
Updated the first post and the download.

Also, yes when posts/threads get deleted it detracts the character credit as well as applying the Deletion Post/Thread credit (typically negative). Also, when undeleting the perchar credit is returned and the posting credit is applied again.

Thank you verry verry much for this mod i was realy need this mod
Please could you integrate this with the vissionscripts hidemod? when users recieve thanks gets credits? also can you do it like this:
[credit=20]hiden content here [/credit]
to view the content users need to pay 20 credit? to pay the credit there will be link like thank you buttons says: Sen 20 credit to user...

Can we do like this?

Thank you verrry much... I was really looking this mod for months...

[Darkwaltz4]

glad you like it

good news:
version 1.3 is under way, and with it - plugin hooks

whats that mean? addons for this and other hacks, such as infusing credits with scripts that dont normally use credits, such as the hidemod above.

if you are just getting here and you have NOT patched your 1.2, please do the edit on this post. Please note that if you just downloaded the hack within 2 hours ago, you dont need to patch anything, its already been fixed.

EDIT:
I have created a new converter for vbbux to vbcredits! It is located in the complementary/converters/ folder. Upload vbbuxplaza_to_vbcredits.php to your admincp and run it. It requires the newest versions of both hacks and allows the option to use both the onhand and bank credits.

I am looking at converters for other points systems as well as integratable hacks (I am looking at the arcade systems right now) which should be out before 1.3

[yingzhou]

Thank you for the fix. My forum is on the way. Thanks.

I think we should have some option in the ACP like: Admin donate to someone, Reset all the credit, the Bank ...
