Miscellaneous Hacks - uCash 3.x

11/20/09 - uCash 3.9.1 released, adding the option to edit a user's points when editing a user in the Admin CP. For some reason I thought that was already implemented. Whatever, it's there now. Enjoy.

07/27 3:54 AM: Beta 2 is released! New features here are point deduction on infractions, the use of template hooks, and a primitive admin script. Upgrade by re-uploading the files and re-importing product-ucash.xml, allowing overwrite. Then, undo the template edits that you did to memberinfo_block_ministats and postbit/postbit_legacy as they aren't needed anymore.

Welcome to uCash 3.9.0 Beta 2!

uCash is a points system for vBulletin. 3.9.0 is a rewrite of uCash from scratch designed for vBulletin 3.7 and up. Simply upload the files located in the 'upload' folder and import product-ucash.xml in the Product Manager of vBulletin (allowing overwrite if you are upgrading). If you are installing this as a first time user of uCash then congrats, everything should be working and you can configure the options to your liking from there. If you have previously installed and old version uCash or uCash & uShop, continue reading.

This version of uCash will attempt to "upgrade" from the uCS 0.9x database fields. If you have installed this previously and still have its data in your database, it will import over the old forum settings and points.

If you have been using uCash 1.1 or uCS 2.0, the same applies, however, some of the other options may also be carried over. In either case, make sure you remember what you have your settings set to, as some might not be carried over. ONE SETTING SHOULD BE REVERTED TO ITS DEFAULT IF YOU ARE UPGRADING - Set "Points Data Location", the very top option, to "TP.user.ucash". If you don't change this, uCash may not work properly. Make sure all of your options under "uCash Options" as well as the forum-specific options when editing a forum are set to their desired values and have fun.

If you have any issues to report with this addon, please post in the modification thread located at: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=219475. Include all relevant details, such as vBulletin version and any previous install of uCash or uCash & uShop and its version number. I will attempt to give support, but as this is still a beta, I am more interested in bugs or inconsistancies. Please do not PM or IM me for support unless you have a showstopping bug or exploit to report.

Wall of text aside, please enjoy the latest release of uCash, and feel free to post any ideas for new features to add in the vB.org thread linked above. Thanks!

For a more full list of current features in this beta, look at the screenshots displaying the main settings and per-forum settings. Note that screenshots may be out of date. For full-sized screenshots, go here: http://cuphat.com/mods/ucash/

How do members donate cash to each other?
-edit- just read above post..
wheres ushop?

[Zachery]

uShop is not yet released.

[theezy]

is there another cash mod on here where people can donate cash to each other?

Is there a way to define, that only NEW Threads ( and not the existing ) are counted ?

My Case: For every Hit on their threads the users get 0.001 Point. But the Addon counts every Thread since the start of the forum. I would like to have it starts counting only for new threads and not for now existing ones.

Would that be possible?

No chance?
- I really need something like this for an user award...

Does this uCash mod include the original uShop mod as well?

[James T Brock]

Yeah, unfortunately without ushop there's not much we can do with this. That's mostly what I was looking for. Any ushop equivalents available for vb 3.8 that we can use with this mod?

[Speysider]

You can still download the old ucash/ushop mod for vB3.5, but be aware that you will have to mess about in phpMyAdmin to get it to install correctly.

I managed to install it, but now none of it's phrases appear in the acp.

Can uCash be integrated with Helpful Answers or the Thanks Hack?

Okay, I LOVED this hack back in the day. Will there be the option of donating points via postbit or postbit_legacy eventually? Is the only way to donate points via the admincp? I'm confused. Also, is this fully integrated with the phrase system? I'm trying to change the name from points to something else and bold it for the postbit...
