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!

There was a couple math bugs which were corrected shortly after the main release which screwed up the posting counts. If you did not redownload and reimport the product about 4 days ago or sooner, you might still have the old version. Do that now and see if it still happens. Also, reupload the admincp file and run the credit updater to recalculate the points. If they are the same as they are now, you probably are neglecting some credit settings.

You could use this as a "purchase" system with my username request hack and my upcoming username change hack...

Nice Mod! Got it installed to replace another point system that is now in the graveyard. Need to read through all this now. Thank you for a great mod!

[Johnny Utah]

Thanks Darkwaltz. I downloaded it again and reinstalled everything. It appears to be working fine now.

Okay, I don't mean to sound like a ditz, maybe I'm missing this. I thought I read this is suppose to have like a shop, gifts, user end things (paying for username change, titles, colors, etc.). Is this in this mod, or will be? Or will be a total separate mod all together? I thought this was going to be something like VB Plaza as a whole?

Sorry if this has already been answered/asked, etc. and I missed it!

[GekkoPixie]

I believe there will be a shop mod called vBCommerce or something to that effect, and he's doing some additions to the current mod as well.

The current plan is to have 3 main hacks to allow maximum flexibility for what you want to achieve on your forums. Rest assured, with all 3 you will be far ahead of where you were with vbplaza.

I'm testing vbcredits on a testforum and since I upgraded the testforum to 3.6.8, I've received via email the following message a couple of times. Vbcredits itself seem to be running fine. Since the word 'credits' is mentioned a couple of times, I'm posting this here.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL: SELECT user.userid, user.usergroupid, user.credits_numrefs, user.referrerid, user.reputation, user.posts, user.joindate, user.credits_canget, ref.credits_numrefs AS refnumrefs, ref.usergroupid AS refugid, ref.credits_canget AS cangetref FROM user AS user LEFT JOIN user AS ref ON (ref.userid = user.referrerid) WHERE (user.referrerid != 0 AND user.joindate > );

Is there a conflict between my 3.6.8 testforum and vbcredits or is it something else?

[Darkwaltz4]

Download a new copy of the zip and reapply the files and import the product again. Specifically you need the new version of credits_time.php, but if you dont have the new version of that you are also missing a bunch of other upgrades. It wont affect your credit totals. You will also want to run the scheduled task for Time Based Credit Awards in your admin cp, since you have no doubt missed several days worth.

[EWGF]

Done that. I hope it's fixed
I'll let you know tomorrow, if I got mail or not.
