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!

Hey PixelFX...this is kind of off topic...but what arcade are you using for your website...did you change the layout of it? Also is your website using vbadvanced too? I like your simple layout.

jasculs:

the number of tabs and spaces in front of both lines of code differenciates them :-/

i suggest you start with fresh files and apply the changes again, this time also include the whitespace in your find/replace :-p then it should only appear once each (which is important when applying the extra lines!)

I was kind of more curious about the 'activity and time on board' thing he's got going in the postbit.

That said, i've downloaded this, but i'll probably wait on installing until there's a store attached to it.

I'm using vb367 branded, cmps 3.0 rc1 branded license, v3arcade, activity hack and oh about 1000 hours of tweaking :P, our new vbcredits test site has cleaned up version of my style

glad you like it..

back on track... as for vBCredits Darks been slaving day in and out to get this script up to part, the new item shop when its done should blow peoples minds over time :P

[LukeFX]

Your support for other mods is un matched. I mean LivingAvatars was requested yesterday and although you spent most of the day working on the quiz intergration I was amazed to find you still intergrated LA in the same day!

MOTM, Installed & defo going to be donating some dollar this weekend!

Some more details on the Shop would be cool, how long is it off from being finished? I might wait for it rather than install iShop.

Great Hack!
Just one thing, i want to go give my moderators a monthly paycheck, something like 30 credits. How can i give an entire usergroup 30 credits? I tried doing that using the update counters plugin you added, but it only substracts 30 credits instead of adding them. any solution? thanks

[kafi]

Interesting Hack, I like it


here is my suggestion:

- display user rank by credits according to forums groups (design, coding, marekting) - this will give a decent way to recognize user's favorit topic and knowleadge

Thanks, keep up the good work

[EWGF]

Nice!

Didn't bother to use vbplaza, due to its security and IMO limited options. This one sounds way better. Definitly installing and nominating this hack.

Marked as installed but not installed as there are too many file modifications instead of templates, try and get this to be fixed automatically by uploading patched files already, thanks!

Thanks everyone, Im glad you all like it

Using the appropriate credits tool under update counters, fill it out like this:

Pick the usergroups in question, dont check any of the award types
Number of credits to use as the base of additions: amount you want to add to them all
Add credits to existing totals instead of starting over? : yes
Perform all of the transactions for each user recorded in the transaction log? : no

This effectively mass-adds an arbitrary amount to the selected usergroups. Alternatively, you could split the weekly paycheck by 7 and set it as the daily credit to that usergroup. i might add in a day counter or something :-/

i think you mean plugins, and i somewhat agree. the new version is stripping out as many file edits as i can, but some I will leave as they cover a lot more ground than the plugins (such as the ones in functions_databuild.php) why? they get called a million times from different places, such as the admincp, inline moderation, editpost, all kinds of stuff, and to edit it in the main function works out much better and consistently. I dont believe I am allowed by vborg to upload entire files, and it would become obsolete in subsequent vb upgrades, and would not be properly marked with your vb license number. But thank you for clicking install so I can keep you updated when it is "fixed up a bit"
