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!

this hack is great u should try to get a feature added to it

the thank you hack would be fantastic with this like u get a certain amount of credits for each thank you button instead of the reputation thing that it currently has

[AzzidReign]

Couldn't get it to work Dark You can view that link again to see it doesn't work on default.

[Darkwaltz4]

Okay, I downloaded and installed the Thank You Hack. The problem is the patch, which unfortunately will be there until 3.6.8, so, to fix (this is confirmed to work )

//obsolete

v1.3 will have this update in it. also, this will work on boards without the thankyou hack, and without the thankyou hack's patch either (so it can only be a positive fix) will also work when vb upgrades, but will probably get all the extra ceaning code out

[rainyleaves]

Awesome mod!!!
Thanks

[carlt]

Dark,
Thanks for the mod. I know it will be a big help on my forum.

I had a few minor issues after the install and was hoping for some help

Just to give you an idea on a 1-10 scale my coding is at about 2 and one of the points might be because I am grading myself

The questions I have:

Where do I go to change the credit settings?
How can I get the credits to show in the postbit(I noticed the post but not sure how/where to insert just want it below the post count)?
Not able to sort by credits in memberlist, how can I fix that?


Again thanks for the mod and any help you can give on it.

[DeMiNe0]

Is 1.3 going to have the ability to reward points via profile? (Or atleast another way to award points other then posts and admincp?) The guys who actually pay for the board are making me install the broken vbplaza because there moderators can't give and take points to users who dont post. Help me!! I don't wanna switch lol! :P

I've been trying to figure out how to copy the entire block of code that controls the giving/taking a points based on the user who owns the postid that is passed in the URL, so that it uses a userid that is passed in the URL instead, but i've failed so far.

All i really need to do is be able to use something like credits.php?u=USERID to reward points.

Edit the "Display Credits in Postbit" plugin
Change Hook Location to: postbit_display_start
Change execution order to: 100

Change code to this:

if ($this->registry->options['credits_public'])
{
 $credits_this = array($post['postid'], $post['userid'], vb_number_format($post['credits'], $this->registry->options['credits_decimals']));
 //clear out postbit if it contains this again. other hacks can take care of their own stuff themselves.
 $template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right'] = str_replace('<div><a href="credits.php?u=' . $GLOBALS['credits_last'][1] . '">' . $vbphrase['credits'] . '</a>: <span id="cdt_' . $GLOBALS['credits_last'][0] . '_' . $GLOBALS['credits_last'][1] . '">' . $GLOBALS['credits_last'][2] . '</span></div>', '', $template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right']) . '<div><a href="credits.php?u=' . $credits_this[1] . '">' . $vbphrase['credits'] . '</a>: <span id="cdt_' . $credits_this[0] . '_' . $credits_this[1] . '">' . $credits_this[2] . '</span></div>';
 $GLOBALS['credits_last'] = $credits_this;
}

v1.3 will have this update in it. also, this will work on boards without the thankyou hack, and without the thankyou hack's patch either (so it can only be a positive fix) will also work when vb upgrades, but will probably get all the extra ceaning code out

Works great! Thanks!

In the usergroup editor.
If they are not showing up in the postbit, first follow the footnote directions in the Instructions.txt file, and then the patch I just posted.
Do they appear in the memberlist, but not sort by them? Did you edit the memberlist file per the instructions?

I will see what I can get you patchwise, check back soon. You really dont want vbplaza (at least in the current state it is in). I have it installed for testing purposes, and it doesnt use the vb cleaning methods, which is why it was removed for XSS vulnerability

what about you, DS MrSinister?


Also, now that I have the Thank You Hack installed, I went ahead and made a Thank You Hack addon. Will post it in a bit along with other things.

[Darkwaltz4]

Here I have a converter for Nexia Points, and an addon for the Post Thank You Hack!

To use, upload the nexia_to_vbcredits.php to the admincp folder and run it

and import the product product-credits_post_thanks.php, and youre done!

this post will be deleted in v1.3, and these files will be located in their respective folders in the main file. (just wanted to get these out before 1.3)

look for more addons soon. still working on the arcades. btw, i have like 3 different points systems and two arcades running :-p kinda funny.

//note, files removed and placed into main download
5, 8

[cheat-master30]

When you mean the arcades, does that mean basically integration with IB Pro Arcade and credits for high scores/tournament winning/etc? Because if so I certainly want that feature.
