Hey man,

I installed this on a demo forum I'm playing around on, tweaked the earning triggers and nothing has worked save the achievement trigger.

I just tried making a new thread and it didn't award credits to my account for it.

Hmm, weird. I'll look into it.

Yeah, I made another new thread in a different forum just to verify it wasn't an issue with the forum itself and it still didn't award any credits for the thread.

Yeah, I pushed a fix, should be good to go now. 🙂

This credits system is very interesting but it can disrupt the forum if not controlled 😅Once money-like system is attached to a forum, some people would spam post just to farm points. I have seen it happen on many forums.

Is there a way to add icons so people can purchase icons for their profiles/posts?

Just noticed this bug, when adding credits to a user manually via ACP, the notification says their balance was adjusted by 0 instead of the amount given:

Also having trouble with username styles for the credit shop. I added a 'Bold Username' item in the shop, and when purchased, the name does not change. Currently using this for css: font-weight: 700;

Yeah I'm not really understanding how it works.

Under Custom CSS I put:

.sparkles {background:url(https://sonicblast.org/images/stars.gif) repeat scroll 0 0%;color:#b76db7;font-size:13px;padding:3px 10px;font-family:Andes;text-shadow:2px 3px 0px #430ed5;}

So in the item for the shop, do I just put in .sparkles in the shop manager for .css class?

I was able to figure it out, it's the same as user group customization for special effects.

For example, if you want to sell a shop item for bold usernames:

In your theme's CSS style sheet, put

.username-bold {
    font-weight: 700;
}

Then all you have to do in the shop is put username-bold in the CSS Class field

Didn't work for me. That's essentially what I did earlier. I put the code in and when I go to the CSS selector I see this:

<a href="https://money.forumspark.net/users/moneyman" class="username username--25  a.username-bold">
<b><span style="color:#d2a00a">MoneyMan</span></b></a>

It puts the bold class there but doesn't do anything. Idk what I'm doing wrong. @Cedric any insights? Eclipse has it working but what they did is the same thing I did initially. This is all just a test for me now, I'm not sure what I want to do with the shop yet.

Can you screenshot the code from your CSS stylesheet and the CSS class value you have in the shop

For the CSS, I gave it a larger font size since admins are already bold just as a test. It should be working. My original should be working too, I did it the same way you posted and I even copied and pasted what you put for the bold exact and nothing.

Hmm, that's strange. I just added a line to mine for font-size 24px to test, and it's working properly.

Make sure you are purchasing the shop item in the shop to test it out, from my experience it won't update automatically for people who have already purchased it

Okay, got it working.

Are there usuable variables for custom profiles, to display the number of credits (for example)? Apologies if it's obvious or I missed it somewhere
