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!

What use would this be for a writing forum?

Vinyljunky · #**1603** 03-09-2008, 04:10 PM

I currently use iCash but I think I'll convert this week.

people having trouble with the $validfields thing, try this:

in the plugin manager, replace the entire code contents of the
vBCredits - Define User DM Fields

with the following

PHP Code:


			
$this->validfields['credits'] = array(TYPE_NUM, REQ_NO);

$this->validfields['credits_canearn'] = array(TYPE_BOOL, REQ_NO);

$this->validfields['credits_canspend'] = array(TYPE_BOOL, REQ_NO);

$this->validfields['credits_numrefs'] = array(TYPE_UINT, REQ_NO);

$this->validfields['credits_saved'] = array(TYPE_NUM, REQ_NO);

$this->validfields['credits_score'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);

$this->validfields['credits_interest'] = array(TYPE_UNIXTIME, REQ_NO);

as for using this in a writing forum, you can make heavy use of the postsize award, so that users earn more for writing more, not necessarily often :-p but depends what you want to award them with

also, anyone interested in the changelog between 1.4rc1 and 1.4rc2, its been posted here

Thanks for the fast reply Darkwaltz4.

That new code seems to have fixed the problem for me. :up:

Installed the update and now forums are inaccessible.

Any assistance in getting my forums functional again would be appreciated. Have run flawlessly for years until this.

people having trouble with that database error:
you should NOT be running any forum files in your browser between uploading the new files and importing the product file.

if you did hit that, you should disable the old vbcredits prior to upgrade

if you cant access your acp because of the error, insert define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); into your config.php file. remove it after upgrading

but again - i stress DONT LOAD ANY FORUM FILES BETWEEN UPLOADING NEW FILES AND IMPORTING THE PRODUCT. avoids that problem altogether

what do you mean by "forum files"? - isn't that running the forum ? lol, would shutting down the forum help? i plan to upgrade in a few days after my midterms are done

Darkwaltz4 · #**1609** 03-10-2008, 04:46 PM

forum files as in, non-admin control panel.
how did i know someone would ask that?? >.<

shutting down helps a lot, because then nobody else will trigger the error in their normal browsing. this is generally standard procedure when installing something really...

yea, thats usually what i do with huge updates like this - my forum is due to move datacenters this week so it'll be good timing, it'll be locked down for the move and by the time DNS updates fully i'll have it installed

thanks

vBCredits 1.4rc2 has been updated to rev1.

This minor release only addresses the 2 common upgrade problems people have been having.
Unless you are getting a database error during upgrade or have errors regarding $validfields, you do not need to apply this update.

If you wish to apply the rev1 over 1.4rc2, only the files credits_plugins.php and functions_credits.php need to overwritten to complete the update. If you have not upgraded to 1.4rc2 yet, then follow the full regular upgrade/install instructions.
