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!

Well i'm more or less trying to figure out a way to give points to a user without actually having to reward a post. I have users who don't post on the site, but do alot of other really helpful things for us, that i would like to give points to. Then they can buy items that represent actual items in a game through the shop.

[DeMiNe0]

BTW, You could try using this code in place of your current PM code. I replaced it in my credits.php and it seems to notify me now.

PHP Code:

            $dsender = $db->query_first("SELECT userid, username FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->options['credits_pmid']);
            $pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);         
            $pmdm->set('fromuserid', $dsender['userid']);
            $pmdm->set('fromusername', $dsender['username']);
            $pmdm->set_info('receipt', false);
            $pmdm->set_info('savecopy', false);
            $pmdm->overridequota = true;                   // Force pm send even if recipient's mailbox is full
            $pmdm->set('title', $vbphrase['credits_pm_post_subject']);
            $pmdm->set('message', construct_phrase($vbphrase['credits_pm_post_body'], $userinfo['username'], vb_number_format(( $vbulletin->GPC['dir'] == 'pos' ? 1 : -1 ) * $vbulletin->GPC['amount'], $vbulletin->options['credits_decimals']), $vbphrase['credits'], ( $vbulletin->GPC['anonymous'] ? $vbphrase['anonymous'] : $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] ), fetch_censored_text($vbulletin->GPC['reason']), $vbphrase['credits_log']));
            $pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
            $pmdm->set('allowsmilie', true);            
            $pmdm->set_recipients($userinfo['username'], $permissions);
            $pmdm->save();

Well what you basically did was stick in quotaoverride, which indicates the reason you didnt get any PMs -- the userid you specified to send the alert PMs must have run out of room. I wanted to kind of obey that but I guess it wouldnt hurt to change it to that.

Also, in the usercp you can edit user credits directly in the user editor.

You might have some trouble with adding it to the profile because the control for it is tied to the posts. Like I said I will look into it for the next release.

[DeMiNe0]

Problem is, i have moderators who can't access that, that i would like to be able to be able to have them give points to users who don't post often.

[Darkwaltz4]

For the time being you could grant your moderators large amounts of credits which they could then go and donate to the other users?

[cheat-master30]

For some reason, the donate part does not work. The gaining of credits via posts, activity, etc works fine though. Any fix to that?

[cheat-master30]

Fixed when I uploaded the new version of the donating page...

[Darkwaltz4]

glad to help!

[DeMiNe0]

Then the problem is, they can't take credits away :P Thats a really important part of this addon im trying to develop.

Let me give you a better image of what im doing. I run a 300 person World of Warcraft Guild. Instead of using a convential DKP(A type of points system many games use). I'm trying to make my own Point system.

Users are rewarded for signing up on the website, referring other members, posting ect. But points are also given and taken based on what these players do in game. For example, if they do something helpful, a moderator will give them points. If the member does somthing bad (like harrass a member, or miss an event) they take points away. I'm the only person who has admincp access, and too many point edits need to be made when I am not on.

I'm basicly trying to make credits.php?p=POSTID work like credits.php?u=USERID. I made a new if statement to add the ?u in. Doesn't need any ajax or anything. I've allready started working on it, but i've ran into a few problems, with points not being updated, and ID variables not being passed.

Wow, Thanks for this update, it's very good, peradventure when I browse this mod to offer some possibilities such as "earn per character" and "PM alert when received point from anyone" that I see the new version is released and I very happed.
I will go to translate it to Persian and update on my board.
