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, and if you like it you can nominate this for MOTM. 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!

First of all I want to say that vBCredits is great hack. I am working on upgrade process from vB3.6 to vB3.7 (which means also upgrade of vBCredits v1.3 to v1.4rc2) and I just bumped into one unpleasant feature/bug of vBCredits v1.4rc2.

In vBCredits v1.3 there are two options regarding earning reputation points:

• 1. Positive Reputation Credit (Awarded when these users receive positive reputation.)
• 2. Negative Reputation Credit (Awarded when these users receive negative reputation. You probably want this to be negative as a penalty.)

So when I recalculate user credits in "Update Counters", users will get correct amount of credits (positive amount of credits for positive reputation and negative amount of credits for negative reputation).

In vBCredits v1.4rc2 there is only one option regarding earning reputation points:

• 1. Received Reputation Credit (Applied when the user receives reputation. Can be set to multiply against the amount of reputation received.)

In "Configure Award Settings" is also "Award Negation Multiplier" which is responsible for realtime earning negative amount of credits for negative reputation (that works fine), but when I use "Mass Credit Updater" for recalculate amount of credits earned for reputation points, then every reputation is awarded by positive amount of credits - by other words every neutral (from users without possibility to spread reputation points yet) and even negative reputation is awarded by positive amount of credits :-(. Darkwaltz4, please, Is it real bug or there is something else for adjusting this?

i have big problem.
after i upgrde the credits they strat to go crazy.
members get credits for no reason at all.
what to do?

[Chris11987]

When installing this, does the section have to be named vbcredits, or can we name it something else? Same thig with "credits", can we change it to "coins" or "cash" or any other custom names?

Also, I know that the same post keeps getting linked in response to this, but I fail to find the answer in the post or on the vbcredits website, but what can the credits be used for? vbcredits just does the points, but vbcommerce is what can turn points into money to be spend on little user-made shops on the forums, right? How do users go about making these shops, and where are members' owned items stored or displayed?

Hi, I just got one question before I'd like to install this addon.

Is there a system in the hack or an extra addon which people could use there points to promote themselves.

I currently run a site where people get extra content when they are promoted. After a month they get sent back to their original group just like a subscription. So is it possible for the members to use up points to get promoted?

[bojomojo]

I have a problem, i created a thread and it awards points with no problem, but when i deleted the thread the points was not deducted,
I have the negation award= -1

whats wrong

[young coder]

Thanks , I love this mod

[dt_truck11]

ive uninstalled this because i had installed this in the first place to use for a stock trader mod, but that mod wont work for some reason on my forum so i dont really have a use for this mod.

but this is a great mod, awsome job!

[PixelFx]

thanks anyway, and no worries. we're in the process of streamlining vbcredits currenlty to make it easier to get updates out. Should make it easier to support 3rd party addons like the stock market and other easier.

[bojomojo]

anything about my problem?

[dt_truck11]

it had notin to do with this mod at all, it was with the stock trader mod.
