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 would guess you have heavily modded skins ...


I see it perfectly ...

[PixelFx]

Yeah I have heavy mods as well on some of my sites, so I can help as well if needed .. but easier on our site. As I have direct access to systems. Feel free to pm me here or on vbcredits.com

If there are still large values, you missed configuring a couple settings. If you still have the problem with forwarding to your index, I dont know whats going on, but if you talk to me via IM I can look at your settings and help you arrive at whats going on.

------------------------------------------------------
v3 Arcade addon is released! Has pretty much the same features as the ibproarcade addon, and you can find out more info and download the addon free RIGHT HERE. We are using v3 on our site, so you can check it out in action while youre there. We will be configuring the costs and jackpots in a few hours though. Also, we are considering a contest tied into using the addon on our site for v3 arcade which will ultimately end in a free copy of vBCredit$, but we are still working out the details, will announce then.

Now, with that out of the way....
What should I work on next? As you can assume I'm only one guy and theres this to update as well as the major scripts and upgrade the other addons as well. PLEASE do NOT answer that question here, instead vote on THIS POLL.

The end of the month is approaching, and just a reminder that if I make it onto the HOTM list, be sure to vote on that too again, would help with motivation for pumping out more scripts.

Thanks

got it...where do I upload, that might be the problem...where is the forum root?

[PixelFx]

forum root...

yourdomain.com/forum <-- = forum root, aka anything inside the forum folder ...

[bested]

thanks, how do I upload it to the forum root? I only imported the product. and the /forum is the index.

Depends on if your site is on localhost or if you upload your files to your webserver through ftp. WS FTP Pro is a good ftp client for uploading your files. I'm sure members can recommend other tools as well You can also contact who ever is hosting your website for help on uploading files to your forum root if you don't know how.

Im curious as to how you got your forum set up then. >_0

Anyways, I recommend SmartFTP or AceFTP, those have been pretty good to me.
Back on topic: I installed on a test site and it runs perfectly. I have yet to get any errors, can't wait for the next update.

[Darkwaltz4]

If you are not running the latest version of vbulletin, your usercp link might be missing:

if so, add this in the USERCP_SHELL template, directly above the </table> tag at the bottom.

<tr><td class="$navclass[credits]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="credits.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[manage] $vbphrase[credits]</a></td></tr>

I don't understand...I will contact the site owner to give me permission to get someone to help....if bested says yes...who can help me? PM me. Thanks
