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 have a big suggestion, and if you could forfill it, you'll make my VBulletin life for the past years of having a point system a lot easier.

Could you add some sort of system where you can mass set the point amount for a mass set of forums that the user selects. So I don't have to go through 10-20 forums and uncheck...default.

If this can be done, this would be really really helpful ! Thanks for listening.

i am making a mass usergroup and mass forum application tool. should i do mass users while im at it? oh wait i did...

[Terrasoft]

LoL. I love this!

Now this might be a long shot, but I have RPG Inferno v3...I was wondering if there was any way to convert to use the same credits in both Inferno and everywhere else. I realize that the money code in v3 is alot different so...if thats not possible, Im requesting a converter. Someone made one for vbplaza and if you want to see it for reference, Id be more than happy to. What it does is let you pay x amount of credits/vbbux to get x amount of Inferno money.

No I didn't know about the template hooks thing,

I'm using vb 3.6.8

Thanks

[Darkwaltz4]

Alright, your mission is to add the template hooks if that doesnt work, come talk to me via IM or PM so I can investigate your board.

I just wanted to ask this:

What I'm looking to do is have users earn credits by how much they post, how much they refer etc... and I know this can do that, now I want them say to be able to reach 200 credits and they get a free "cup".

Now the place where I'm confused is how they can use their credits to do this.
Say they want to use their 200 credits to get this "cup" can they use it and their 200 credits will be deducted because they used them, now do I have to manually deduct them or how does this work.

What I'm trying to accomplish is that they save up their points to say use them on getting a "cup" than once they use their credits, they go away, and than they have to earn more credits to get more stuff, does this system work like this?

If their credits can't be deducted and used on something I don't really see a point to using it for me because than I could just base getting a "prize" on post count.

Thanks in advance

you will be able to sell your cup in the addon I am building called vBCommerce
vBCredits covers earning credits, vbcommerce deals with spending them

Thanks, okay now how long will it take till vbcommerce comes out because then that is what I'm looking for?

[Darkwaltz4]

Is there a way to change one members credits without donating? Also a donate button underneath the credits in the postbit would be very useful.
