    Hello,

    I have successfully installed vbBux/vbPlaza to my new vbulletin forum.

    I installed it to obtain a point system for my competition! But i have lots of useles features and i dont think i can disable all of them to have a clean look!

    Should i change the code of it to obtain a clean compettion environment in my forum?

    As an example, i dont need the concept of bank or the default menu of vbBux/vbPlaza with lots of details (i only need a link like "competition", have some descriptions there and a listing for the current winners..).

    How did you manage to use vbBux/vbPlaza to have a clean competition environment?

    I am not sure what you're trying to achieve. If you want to remove a few items then you can do that from the admicp's vbux &/or vbplaza settings.

    As a starting point, it shows the folowing info for users on every post they made:

    Points: 119.72
    Bank: 0.00
    Total Points: 119.72
    Donate

    I guess i can remove "Total Points", "Donate" and "Bank" from template since i dont need them in my competiton. But how can i i manually reset point values after finishing one competition. (I am planning to have a competition which will have a winner every 3 months.) Is the component has such a manual reet feature?

    Another point is the richest users page, i want to customize that page to have enough description for my competition (at least an intro text and a link to competition faq items) and remove unnecessary information again. (like bank, total points).

    I am new to vbulletin so please help me to do these changes in the best way!
