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!

But I can't seem to find all edits? For instance to begin in the nav bar

[amroawad]

By the way, whats TMS?

[Darkwaltz4]

well, work backward through the installation txt file :-p if you cant find an edit, you probably put it somewhere else or never made it, in which case you should try using the template searching feature in your acp, and search for partial lines (not whole blocks) as whitespace varies widely from what i see people doing

TMS is the template modification system available here at vborg. basically allows you to manage template edits like plugins, allowing you to update vb without having to redo all of your now-expired templates.

i hope you change your mind in the future, especially after some of the addons are done btw, there is a vbcommerce demo on the official vbcredits site if anyone hasnt seen it yet

[amroawad]

No problem mate and thanks for good backup and I maybe in the future

Hi Friends,
I tried installing this great mod on my 3.7.0 beta 5 version site and everything went smooth, except the "check" link in the navbar is throwing this error:

An appropriate representation of the requested resource forum/credits.php could not be found on this server.

I searched on google and came across this thread which says mod_security rules cause these types of errors and i followed the steps as specified here:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=197290

But then i started getting "Internal Server Error". So for the time being i have disabled those links in the navbar i.e.:

[<a href="credits.php?$session[sessionurl]do=banking">$vbphrase[check]</a>]<if condition="$show['credits_purchase']"> [<a href="credits.php?$session[sessionurl]do=manage#purchase">$vbphrase[purchase]</a>]</if>

I dont' know which other links point to the credits.php class and i hope they might be failing as well.

So, I would appreciate if someone can give me some resolution to this issue.

Thanks

Thank you, Darkwaltz4 for your help

Just 1 more question:

Where can I set the amount that members can get when make a thread, reply and get from characters?

I've forgot where to change them T_T

first, make sure you are applying the installation for vb3.7, this is the vb3.6 version. (the link is in the top post at the top ) make sure you are using rc2. check that the credits.php file is uploaded to your forum root folder. if you are using a hack which is not in your forum root folder (cmps pages and the galleries are common examples) your links in the navbar will be wrong - edit the navbar template to include your whole forumpath.

Fatal error: Field credits is not defined in $validfields in class vB_DataManager_User in /includes/class_dm.php on line 485

PHP Code:

$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
http://www.vbcredits.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1177

Can i also uninstall and than re-install it? Do you think that will work? Because i dont get it what i need to you (you quote)

[Darkwaltz4]

Darkskilz - ignore those instructions, and download rev1 from the first post. To update rc2 to rev1, simply upload the credits_plugins.php and functions_credits.php to their corresponding locations on your server, and youre done, and your problem will go away

[xHLHx Darkskilz]

Think it worked, thanks.

EDIT: Is there a way disable bank and loans?
