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!

im working on it i honestly am. there is 1 last bug i am waiting on a response from the person who reported it.

the reason i havent released vbcommerce while waiting for 1.4 final is because i intend vbcommerce to be able to sell REAL things for credits. and if there exist bugs which either gain or lose credits erroneously (or due to exploits) how many people would want to kill me? :-p

[madotds]

top mod thank you

VBcredit

hows fraud detection? or is there any... I have this installed, I also used my own admin referal ID, to signup for another account, and it appeared to give me credit, if i can do this, I can only see others doing this in order to gain referal advantage. It would be nice if it had a built in ban system, that ban users that try and signup for duplicate accounts using the referal system by using cookies. although, I do not know what you have that would detour cheaters...

Thanks

So, admin's credit point will not increase and i dont want see admin's credit point in POSTBIT_LEGACY . Only members will have a extra field in postbit ..

Maybe code like <if condination = xx for this ???

i did it myself with a condition .

How far away is the 1.4 release (non rc)?

[maxicep]

i waiting too

[Darkwaltz4]

built in ban system to detect multiple accounts? sounds like you need another hack. im pretty sure they already exist.

i make no secrets about the potential exploits of all credit awards - look at the admin help for more details. the bottom line is that you will always need a minimum amount of moderation to ensure nobody is cheating. now, these arent programming exploits, but theres only so much i can do to validate each action short of making you, the admin, having to greenlight each transaction.

but at that point, why would you be using a hack to award points? just use a profile field :-p

ive given advice on what to look for and how best to police the more exploitable actions (such as multiple accounts, spamming)

i know youre all waiting, and im sorry; this has to be bug free if i want the next addons to be a success. thanks for your patience and understanding

great hack i'm loving it.

But how to make "donation" to work, filled in recepient, comment, and amount then click "Donate" but then it said "Invalid Specified"

[fly]

Okay, I think I found a bug...

Here is the message I got from my user

I tried out the new savings system, i think something messed up. i made two deposits on the 23rd. one in the amount of 4401, the other was something like 4500. they're both listed as previous deposits, but the balance only reflects one of them. neither of them are listed as pending.

I confirmed that he indeed 'lost' the money. What can I/we do?

edit: And although I don't have moderation enabled, I checked there and no deposits are there.

i installed vBCredits v1.4rc1 and i bought the donations for points and sell posts for points and it's not working...do the addons only compatible with v1.3? my users can sell a post but no one can buy it...even the users got enough points...
