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!

I'll stick with my girlfriend, thanks lol, darks working on it as fast as possible ..

Hey dark, I got a question I am using vb 3.6.4. I did the old-version edit to the file but when I import product, I am getting an error message saying I need to do the edits. Any suggestions?

Also the only reason I upgrade to v1.4 of vBCredits is because I couldn't get the "Credits: x" to show up on the postbit, if you could also tell me how I could do that, that would be great. Thanks!

Is there any way (or any mod) that can allow me to track members monthly activity and overall credits? I often have monthly contests, and this month I am using Credits based participation for the first time. Basically, member with the most Credits in the month of April wins. But I its hard to record everyones total credits the 1st of the month, then add em all up at the end of the month. I do have the Statistics mod, and I can see monthly post counts etc, but I would like a way to track monthly Credits.

Is this possible? TIA

If I set the paycheck award period to 30 days, when does a user get his/her paycheck?

I miss vbplaza.

vbcustomizer will be in development in the summer, after the release of vbcommerce this spring.

Wow! my fault on that, i forgot i left that in while removing it from the instructions >.<

find and REMOVE in plugins/credits_installer.php

PHP Code:

    if (!method_exists(new vBulletinHook, 'fetch_hookusage'))
    {
        print_dots_stop();
        print_cp_message('Apply the Fix for Old vBulletins.txt for your installation of vBCredits to work on this version of vBulletin!');
    } 


as for having it show up in postbit - did you make the file edits?

currently there are no logs for regular earnings. this will be in the next major release of vbcredits (after 1.4 final)

30 days after you install the hack (or in a rolling cycle starting on that day)
more controls for that sort of thing will be including in the next major release of vbcredits (after 1.4 final). they were left out due to time

[oninuva]

Well I have TMS installed so should that not auto complete template edits when I import product?

[eido]

I'm getting this error when im using Mass Credit Updater

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM vbcredits_transactions WHERE touserid = 12 OR fromuserid = 12;

[Darkwaltz4]

alright, then check the following:

run the template edit test thing to make sure that the automatic template edit was successful (sometimes if your style doesnt have the "find" code, it wont get applied..

then check your settings if it still doesnt show up:
in the global settings, is visibility set to "nobody" (or nothing)?
in usergroup settings, is your usergroup set to excluded from vbcredits?
are you looking at a user who belongs to a usergroup that is excluded from vbcredits or is set to hide their credit totals?
are you in a forum which you set to hide all credit totals?

if still no to all of the above, its possible theres a conflict with another hack, in which case you should send me an admin login, and we will go from there.

[eido]

Darkwaltz4 are you speaking to me or to oninuva?

note im getting the error when im using Mass Credit Updater

[Darkwaltz4]

sorry eido, you added your reply after i was already answering oninuva

does that happen every time? do you get errors on other queries unrelated to vbcredits? it looks more like something is wrong with your mysql server than the query itself.
