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!

Anyone with an idea how to fix this?

Hi there,
I've tried to install VbCredits on 3.6.5 and every time I try to import the product I get:
Apply the Fix for Old vBulletins.txt for your installation of vBCredits to work on this version of vBulletin!

Yes I've done that file change, and I've reinstalled Vb from scratch again and it still doesn't work. Can someone please tell me how I can fix this?
Cheers,

[Darkwaltz4]

You reinstalled vb from scratch?? If you were going to do that you should have put the newest version or something 3.6.6+

to bypass that, in plugins/credits_installer.php find and remove

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!');
} 


then you should be able to install

One quick question, on my .... credits.php?do=banking page I have the below message for Bank Account and Loans. How do I change those high percentage numbers and 0 credit numbers. I have been looking in the admincp but not seeing where to change it. Members are using it like crazy to build up credits.

all of that is in your usergroup settings, mainly the things like interest rates and maximums. if you cant figure out which is which after looking through them PM me

[ade5675]

Thanks Darkwaltz4,

It now works the exact way I wanted it. :up:

I changed the following in the Banking, Loans and Drawings section of the "Manage Usergroup Award" link for each of my usergroups:

Savings Interest Rate: 5 to 0.05
Loan Interest Rate: 15 to 0.15
Maximum per Loan: 0 to 1,000

[Darkwaltz4]

glad you got it worked out sorry for the delay

[heeroyun]

I've chosen "No" with the option : Spend from central account but still , the Limit of award still appear :-?

Anyone have a idea ? Thx in advantage

[Darkwaltz4]

in your usergroup settings for your usergroup see what the limits are set for the post award system. for it to be unlimited it needs -1 for all 4 awards

Hello, what can you do with this hack?
As in can you but items? such as font colours etc???

[Darkwaltz4]

I answered in the other thread, but if anyone is wondering the same thing:

There are many integrations which use vbcredits, found listed here (as well as links to download those addons)
http://www.vbcredits.com/projects/vbcredits/index.php
There are also hacks which can use vbcredits simply by setting a value in the third party hack's settings. I generally dont maintain a list of such hacks because they can be made without me knowing about them but if you have something in mind ask and I will try and point you in the right direction.

I have opened up the demos for the addons to guests, so you dont have to register to my site to check them out (but if you want to ask something about it or give your feedback you should do so there)
http://www.vbcredits.com/forum/commerce.php
also opened up my vbcustomizer demo to guests as well
http://www.vbcredits.com/forum/customizer.php?do=usercp
both are strictly nonfunctional for the time being.

I have also recieved a little help with the financial burden of developing this stuff sooner without going broke a little more details in the new announcement on my site. basicially, im now under contract to have both vbcommerce and vbcustomizer completed within 3 months. just thought everyone might be interested in that.

Hi,

After an Update does all the template edits have to be redone?
Is there a simple way to update the forum version, revert the templates but still have all the template edits for VbCredits

Thanks
