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!

Some of these have already been mentioned, others not, but I thought I'd put it here since I suggested it in nexialys's thread when he was making a point system:

1) Allow people to buy the points/cash via paypal.
2) Allow people to cash out on their points/cash via paypal: set a rate via acp- every 1000 points = 1 dollar or whatever you want.
3) Allow people to donate/transfer points to other members on the site (which you've already done)
4) Integrate this with the Thanks System (e.g. receive a Thanks, get a Point) and maybe groan system (lose a point...can be abused, so IDK)
5) When a member has received so many points, they are "promoted" to another usergroup.
6) Have an option for the points/credits to expire. Such as, after x months of inactivity on the site, start having a deduction in points (which is set via ACP). Sort of like old gift cards that you would buy from circuit city. If you have it for 1 year, you start losing 5 bucks off the card after every month until all the money is gone.

Like I said, I know I already mentioned about buying points, but cashing in on points would be great because it would be nice to give back to my community if they work hard :P

I know I'm prolly asking a ton, so I'm sorry. I know you PM'ed me about the paid version, but I'm willing to pay more depending on how much the paid version is, if these options are put into place.

An additional note, Dark and I have a support section setup for all hacks we're working on, which I'll be able to do an extra line of support should people be interested. He and I are still putting things together, so feedback here on on our site, would be greatly appeciated Example: vBCredits, Attechment Limiter, Triad3, vbTopSites, vBTracker etc

PixelFX Scripts

I've been very busy scuba diving the last 3 days so haven't been able to get in till now...

Some of the ideas john and I have been kicking around, would be things like making it possible to do systems or models like, say rappelz online etc, through your site, if you ran gaming servers and other. The skys the limits for what john and I can make between us other than time. but thats normal

[aceofspades]

Wub Wub Wub you rock dude. Installed.

Edit: One question though, id like to change the maths involved in displaying the end point result in the member list, postbit etc. Where should i be looking if i wanted to do that, the product?

Hmm, I don't think you should be able to cash out points and convert them to money. That could create spam problems for a board, not to mention that if you combine this with the vBookie hack, it could be illegal. As far as the paypal for points, maybe that could be done through one of the many paypal hacks available here.

I'd like to thank Darkwaltz for getting the vbookie plugin done. I like how this is progressing.

There has been an error confirmed with the fresh install, i have a fix, and I'll update it, but it is just a holdover until i get the new version ready to my liking to call it updated.

IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ABOVE ERROR, DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHMENT AGAIN AND IMPORT THE PRODUCT AGAIN (you dont have to do anything else if you followed those directions earlier)

This should have only happened to users who fresh installed 1.1 (not upgraded from 1.0)

[Splinter77]

ok aspect fix yours.
But between how much time I must wait for?

[Darkwaltz4]

I updated the 1.1 code with the fix, you can download it now. what I meant was I won't put up 1.2 until I'm done with it :-p

Discussion of paid addons out in the open at vborg is against the rules so I cant really say anything here, but I can in PM (or email)

cashing out sounds really exploitable, although it could work if you were stringent about where and what points you granted (so an actvity credit would be difficult to spam)

I still have to look into what kind of addons I could make with hacks that dont already allow integration (let alone even use a) points system. I was looking into the arcades, but I need some ideas of what roles the points should play. same thing with the thank you hack.

Your last two - will consider.

On top of that i tried to rebuild the points so that the users had points based on what they did before i installed the product, but even after updating the counters they still all displayed 0.
