vBulletin Mods

Hello! I previously had a forum 4 versions and a plug-in vb Credits for accrual points for publications. Now it's version 5 and this plugin is not supported. I still have the same database where the value of each user's points is stored, I just need to add some value to it when sending a message on the forum. Tell me, how can I do this? I implement the query to add to the database, I just need to understand how to track the time when the user publishes his post. I know that version 5 does not support modding, but I really need to do this, I ask for help. Thank you!

What you're asking isn't straightforward.
"I just need to add some value to it when sending a message on the forum"

You will most likely need to hire a coder to code this for you. May be worth talking to Glenn at https://vbmods.rocks.

It isn't that vB5 "doesn't support modding" either, as Glenn's site will show. It's just different to vB4 because it's a different product, so vB4 products won't work on it.

Thanks for the advice!
