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!

actually as it is turning out the upgrade process should be pretty painless, only like 1 or 2 extra file edits if you are already using 1.1

[bollie]

I can see somewhere a list, how many points members have ?

[Vegetrunks]

Donation done!
Good work Darkwalz

[Darkwaltz4]

you can see how many points members have on the memberlist or on the postbits and profiles if you have set the public option to yes and your style has $template_hook variables. If not, you have to add in the lines which is explained a couple times throughout the thread.

[njoker555]

any way to give points per character? that would be a lot more convenient

thanks for the mod, the first cashmod that actually worked without giving me any other problems << clicks install

edit: having some issues - on my template, Silver & Red - the point count isnt showing in their posts - but in the default one it shows but its kinda messed up, how can i fix that? - the link is www.gamers-forum.com if u want to see it

i use https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=148045

[njoker555]

i thought i was able to alter the amount of GFP for the person via admincp and viewing their profile there, but im not seeing an option for that :/

[Darkwaltz4]

The 1.2 instructions will contain manual instructions for adding in missing template stuff, until then use that post.

you can edit the amount of credits in the user editor in the ACP (provided you made the admincp/user.php edit as per the instructions)

I am considering a per-character thing for each post, except it is extremely exploitable, even in principle. feel free to discuss.

[subnet_rx]

The whole thing is exploitable really unless governed by someone. You can spam posts, new threads, and sign up bogus referrals to get money. I usually give 1 cent per post character, and already say that it's a violation to post full articles, texts, or other copyrighted content.

Also, when you delete your post or thread, does this take the money back?

[Darkwaltz4]

1.2 includes settable delete options (so you could even punish usergroups if something they posted was deleted :-p)

these options are somewhat difficult because there are multiple areas where delete occurs. for instance, do i fire it when a post is soft or hard deleted? what if a soft delete is undeleted? do i give it back? plus there are areas where post management is done en masse, such as with inline moderation, which skips the datamanagers entirely... so, the bottom line, just means more file modifications for you all to perform when installing

I say per-character is even harder because i have to deal with people editing their posts and bbcode tags and such. so i think if i implement it it will only be for when you first post, but then someone can copy/paste a huge block of text, and then edit it to something normal when they are done >.> like i said, its particularly easy to exploit per-character.

sorry for the wait on 1.2, there are a whole host of major additions to it which i think will please everyone.
