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!

Is it possible to add credits outside of vbulletin? Such as if they submit something when they are login on a page outside of the forums, and then they receive credit in their vbulletin account.

I'm still reading through the 875 posts to see if anyone else is having these issues but so far I'm not seeing anything.

I installed this yesterday. I have it set to give everyone 10 points a day for logging in. Last night it gave everyone ten points, even if they haven't been to the board for months (or in some cases, years).

Also, I had 2xx points when I went to bed. I woke up to over 900. Any ideas why? Lots of people got points over night for reasons I can't figure out.

[gingery]

A couple of more things...

I checked and my time credit is set to zero and my activity credit is set to 10. I have the activity credit set to "log in".

From what I can tell, everyone got points for referral overnight. (Is there a log somewhere that shows where my 9xx points came from?) I'm resetting everyone to zero tonight so that I can run a September contest. Will the referral points be issued again at midnight (or worse yet, every day at midnight) or was that a one time thing?

Yes it is possible that they all got referral credits - and for one time only. You see, in vbcredits referrals need to be validated before they are "counted" in the system. so, lots of people have referrals, but 0 were validated, and as they were, the users get the referral awards. This also builds up the additive referral bonus (which gets some new caps in 1.4), so this also induces some differences between seemingly similar users. the equations for each award always include several factors which you might have forgotten had something to do with them.

its possible to add credits to any vbulletin enabled page, but will generally require some tweaking or an addon. suggest it in the addon forum on vbcredits.com

i am still trying to figure out why 3.6.4 does this to you

Works like a charm. Another suggestion: Integrate a shop yourself, as there are currently only rather bad shop-systems out. That would certainly improve the quality of this mod even more.

He's working on vB Commerce and vB Customiser, two shop like systems. One allows buying of images and the like, one allows you to charge for user options and name styles. And I think another one allows for real money donations and real items to be bought.
