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!

Thanks Darkwaltz4 that fixed it

Just one very small point though the "manage credits" text is aligned left....any way to make it centre ?

[wtricks]

Darkwaltz4 first I appreciate the fact you actually support your mod. Not too many developers answer as fast as you did in here, so this is a great "thumbs up" for you and an incentive for me to use this great mod. Still, before I download it and mess my board even more that it's messed with a not working ucash/ushop mod, I would like to ask you some questions and please offer me your specialized input:

I used ucash/ushop. I know it doesn't work on 3.6 and that it's not developed anymore for this. Still I have over 1000 people with their respective points. Is there a possibility I can keep in the database the points they had? So that when I install your hack this won't put them to 0 again? I don't quite fancy staying 4 hours to manually grant them the points (I did this when I installed the previous shop mod and it's not fun ).

What would you advise me to do? I don't think you have a converter, but as a specialist you are into coding, what would you do in this case?

Thank you in advance for any tips and I appreciate the time and effort put into this mod

I'm really interested in the lottery being in the new store. I don't have a lot use for letting my members get by permissions by buying their way in. I mostly used it for fun things such as gifts, buying sports icons, and the lottery.

[cheat-master30]

I think a really nice feature for the store (as well as the lottery someone else said) would be trading in a way similar to some online games and the like, where you could choose an amount of credits to trade for an item from someone else, or trade some items of yours for some of theirs, etc. It would seriously open up a heck of a lot of possibilities.

Other things I would want are:

Integration with any forum based games (like the one you're working on at the site and the chess one), being able to get credits for winning at these games, and maybe bet credits on them?

With those, you've practically got every possible use of a fictional currency other than a casino.

Most of that is in the works, although dark is prob post more specific information... Once its ready.

sure! in the line you added, put align="center" inside the td tag (so it looks like this)
snippet

class="$navclass[credits]" align="center"

yes! I have been looking for a uCash/uShop hack to make a converter from it. If you have it, could you send it to blackwaltz4@msn.com? Otherwise, I could look at your forum with it installed and come up with something. (Or if I missed it here on vborg, you can link me, lol)

Well, with the arcade addons it is kinda a casino :-p Pay to play, win the jackpot if you score high enough... Not with luck but skill, but otherwise the main concept.

Yes, the itemshop will allow you to buy stuff for others, and even allow you to integrate it with any custom thing you have going (such as if you run a gaming server and want people to be able to buy ingame items ) more info on that later.

Thanks to everyone who has voted already! And its only day one

[raiderlax]

I have disabled it and went to check my templates and all the template edits I had done are gone???

What happened, I just disabled it?

[Darkwaltz4]

Disabled what? The product, or the option in the ACP?

a lot of the displays will not appear when disabled, but it shouldnt have removed your template edits unless you use TMS

Wow this is a great mod...saved me from hours of headaches trying to figure out how to run contests....and I have a questions.

I'm starting a contest where points will be awarded to those who participate...

1 point per post
2 points per thread started
5 points per referral

At the end of the month, the user with the most points wins the prize.

Question...How can I find out points from date to date? ie. if i want to know who earned the most points from July 1st-July 31, How can I determine that?

Also, is it possible to clear everyone's points back to zero, for the beginning of a new contest?

Thanks a lot for this mod!

Well, it doesnt have a tracking by date because there is a LOT of credits flying around. I could technically tie it into the transaction log, but it would be overflowing very quickly.

However, you can reset everyone to zero using the mass credit updater.
Fill it out like this:
(check all usergroups) (dont check any award types)
0, no, no, as much as you want.

This resets everyone to 0
