Credits Plugin for MyBB
The points engine the rest of the suite builds on — earned automatically, spent in the shop.
What it gives you:
• Automatic earning on posting — no manual awarding.
• A profile wallet chip so members can see their balance at a glance.
• A public Hall of Fame ranking the board's biggest earners.
• The foundation for the rest of the DF economy: Bank, Shop, Referrals and Streaks all hook into it.
rebuilt as a versioned release from the source deployed on Data-Forums — the 1.x archive was not recoverable, so this is the honest 2.0 line rather than a lost original.
Preview
What's included
- Award credits automatically when a member posts or starts a thread.
- A profile strip showing the balance, and a wallet page at misc.php?action=df_credits.
- Credits act as a third unlock path for the DF Vault, alongside posts and time online.
- Four hooks and one template insert — no core file is edited.

Questions people ask
Does it create database tables?
No tables at all. It adds a dfcredits column to the members table, which is dropped when you uninstall.
Does it edit templates or core files?
Yes — one template insert in member_profile, and no core file edit. Deactivating removes it again.
How do I check the file I downloaded?
Every release page prints a SHA-256 checksum. Hash the archive locally and compare — if the two differ, the download is damaged, not the release.
How are updates delivered?
Each version is its own release on this page with a changelog, and the older archive stays available. Install the new one over the old one; your settings and data stay where they are.
