I made a few fixes just by now. users can download their own attachments with no cost; unfortunately, extension part still ain't work.

has anyone else had this problem
the post count not showing up or the credits
help if u can thanks

Another suggestion would be allow others to purchase download credits via PayPal and update upon payment completion. I am sure many would gain use from this feature.

I've created this addon for the hack:
[Addon]Download Credit System with uCash

Enjoy

[tnguy3n]

check your settings, Credit System For Forums. Leave that part blank or the forum your post replies must be included there.

tnguy3n what part of code have u updated so members can download there own attachments for free as already installed it so dont want to have to re-do it all.

heres the problem m8

as you can see by the pic u need a credit to actually view the pic that is attached whihc is useless really.

Ok have messed with this for a few hours and the hack simply dont work.
it works if u want every attachment on your board to be paid for with credit but the option in admin to set certain forums certainly dont work.

I had set forum id 2 in admincp as the only forum which people need credit for to download but any attachments in any other forum also fall under the credit system even though they are not listed in admincp.

So it seems it covers every attachment on all the board inc all sections.

if these bugs could be solved this would be a good hack to have.

1 - maybe have an option to exclude forums
2 - jpegs or gifs do not require credits
3 - bug where it covers every attachment on the board - and not sections. (forum IDS)

Fantastic!

Seems like a cool idea this one, but I was merely wondering if I could manually alter the credit number in the AdminCP? Like, if a user has 76, I can alter the number to f.ex. 50?
