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!

How can I align the Recipient text box with the Comment & Amount text boxes?

[Darkwaltz4]

change valign to top. that is a style bug which is fixed in the next version. Also to get the Donate button on the same line you need to shrink the size of the amount input. Also fixed in next version.

[NFLfbJunkie]

Don't quite know how to do what you just said. Can you specify for me how and where to do this? When will the next version be out?

By the way, I took a look at the Special Sneak Preview Demo and what you're doing here is totally awesome.

[Darkwaltz4]

Find in the credits_manage template

  <td width="20%" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">

replace with

  <td width="20%" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">

Thanks for the fix. One other thing, after installing the "manage credits" link in mu user control panel went under my Project Tools. How can I put it under my "miscellaneous" links in my control panel?

[NFLfbJunkie]

How is the size of a donation amount controlled? For user groups that have this privilege, can they donate whatever amount they want? And is the amount deducted from the grantor's credits? I have tested donating credits to another user, but no credits were deducted?

Also, how would I set it where when sending a private message from the 'manage credits' page that the same window opens up and not a new window?

I gave 50 credits to a test user for their post and .05% was deducted based on the settings. The transaction report shows that 48 credits was issued, but the testuser ended up getting the entire 50 credits.

You can change how much credits are worth in bulk or single amounts at the buttom of the vBCredits Global Settings, in the admincp - vbulletin options area.

Example: $1 = 1000 credits, and also select the currency .. example if your using paypal .. CAN US DE etc, we have more info on that page for the exact way to set it up.

You can also define for example that if someone wants 0 999 credits for day .10 cents a credit, and then say between 1000 to 2500 credits, that a user donates for could be 0.08 cents, for buying more.. the script is really flexable.

so for your question above you prob just got the script installed but haven't changed our default settings yet in that side of the hack.

I hope that helps a bit. If its bug, and your still having issues, we have a bug tracker setup on www.vbcredits.com to report any issues, and we'll get them fixed asap.

[NFLfbJunkie]

But what controls the amount that one gives or takes a way for a post? Can any amount be added/deducted?

I don't have an option in my global settings to set a currency type. I have the non-$$$ version installed.

[Darkwaltz4]

Junkie: ignore Pixel >.<

If you used the gold coin icon in the postbit or used the award link in the profile -- you were actually giving them a bonus out of thin air.

To actually donate you do so from the manage credits screen by filling out the little form. THAT comes out of your credit count.

I gave 50 credits to a test user for their post and .05% was deducted based on the settings. The transaction report shows that 48 credits was issued, but the testuser ended up getting the entire 50 credits.

You were looking at his transaction log, not yours. When you click the credits link on a postbit and you have usergroup perms to do so (admins usually do) then you also see that person's transaction log. And if you just donated to them, youll see it the way THEY do. Click the link in the usercp to switch to your own view, and youll see it properly. Also, it will say "Now viewing XXX's credits" when looking at someone else's log.

As the for the popup -- thats vb doing that. vbcredits just sends a PM and vb does what it does. You can disable the alerts by setting 0 to the PM sender option in the global settings.

[NFLfbJunkie]

Okay, I am a little confused still. Even if the transaction logs show a different amount, shouldn't the user I gave points to receive the amount minus the tax and not the whole amount?
