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!

Njoker, thanks for the help - Ive uncovered a slew of missing variables in the credit fomulas :-p i guess thats what i get for not sleeping for 30 hours while rushing to get a release out on time.

anyway, i have reuploaded the package, to implement the fixes, just re-import the product file again (be sure to select allow overwrite)

This should fix up your plugins sorry about that...let me know if you find anything more

wow lol, i'll do that in a few mins then and come back to see if anything else needs fixing, it was scaring me tho lol, getting 30x more points than they should - ouch for forum contests

thanks

Yeah....it was counting chars but forgot to insert multiply against the postsize credit so instead of + .1 * 30, it was just + 30....heh >.<

Also, that form is the Mass Credit Updater
To find it, in the ACP go to the Update Counters link under the Maintenance Tab, usually at the bottom of the navigation panel. Then scroll down through the various tools to usually the bottom, and theres the form. If you need help with the options, consult the admin help links posted next to each item.

Thank you, I'll try that now.

You can override any forum type credit award in the forum editor. You cant miss it. This might need some bugtesting for missing variables too due to some scope issues, but we shall see I dont have a massive testing forum yet where this kind of thing would be readily visible. Alternatively, if you already list the forum to not count posts, you can set it to not count credits there either with a global setting.

HELP! I just installed this, and now the site's not working, and I can't get to anything in my admin cp. I was just following the instructions. What went wrong?!

[Darkwaltz4]

Were you installing fresh or upgrading?

Were there any errors displayed?

[semma4eva]

fresh

And no, there were no errors displayed it was working for like a minute, and then all of a sudden it just stopped and nothing's working now

Okay now it just started working again. That was really weird.

[Darkwaltz4]

well, as long as its working maybe your server just had a hiccup...

[Techno05]

I see the option to allow a user to lose points but I can see to find it. Someone please tell me where. I have a sig request site and would like to take away credits once a member requests. Please help thanks.
