vbBux / vbPlaza v1.5.8 (Points + Store System)

[Roxie]

When purchasing secondary usergroup, can I set what usergroup they can purchase? Or does it let them buy any of them?

[Steelersfan]

Make sure admin permissions are set as well if you didnt allready.
Also did you try logging in as a user to see if they can access the store items?

When I first installed this I set users up but forgot admin settings.

OK, I got this to work by going back to 1.0.7 and then upgrading to 1.0.8 again. Now I have the options of having the categories active or not. Which I didn't before.

[MissKalunji]

Good idea. Or a pool squares type thing.

that wouldnt be bad either

[nexus851]

Here's an idea... Put a CASINO to let users BET their POINTS.

Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, Bingo, Lottery

[MissKalunji]

even better idea! but i think it would be better as an separate add on dont you think?

You can pick an choose which ones.

[Ignignokt]

How do you know when someone buys you a gift? and where does it show.

Thx

It appears in the postbit underneath the aim/msn/skype icons

[Fuzz]

Keep up the GREAT work CMX. I was starting to dig a grave outside waiting for the uShop hack. I have installed it and it works wonderful, you have made my entire community happy. I will donate after payday ^^

[eNforce]

None of my custom usergroups have access to the categories or items, all original usergroups (registered, super mod, mod, admin) dp have access.

Custom usergroups are enable in all of the items in the options.

[MorrisMcD]

This is in the works, but I'm going to add a separate table for the lottery and loans when I do get around to them. They will be *ALL OUT* like all of the other features I've done :)

-CMX

:banana: You are my new forum hero

[inkpassion]

runs awesome. very impressed.

that gift preview looks familiar ... ;)

[ImportPassion]

i added a bug to the bug tracker. is that the right place or should I add it here?

[Sooner95]

This is in the works, but I'm going to add a separate table for the lottery and loans when I do get around to them.

Woohoo!

[HMBeaty]

Have a small problem, I just installed this and it doesn't display my avatar on the main store page. Is there a fix for this?

[EasyTarget]

another feature suggestion/request:

let admins select which forums can be used to earn points for viewing and posting.

if there's a ban feature installed, let it be scaleable so a 1 day ban costs X amount and a 2 day is 2X, etc. Also let the admin choose which group a usergroup is banned to if they don't want to use the default banned group.

[XtremeOffroad]

Have a small problem, I just installed this and it doesn't display my avatar on the main store page. Is there a fix for this?

Hasnt been added yet, soon though.
CMX mentioned this a few pages back.

[Steelersfan]

Install the newest 1.0.8 version. The fix is in that one.

[Sai01]

wow, last time i check here was version 1.0.6, it's already jumped up to 1.0.8 now in only 20 something hours! that's some fast updating! to bad i can't say the same about uShop...

[Hellcat]

:laugh: I'd guess with this one lifting off uShop can go home :D :banana:

[dirtycrow]

just wondering, how much of a server load does this create? and is anyone else having server load issues since installing?

[webwheeling]

Here's an idea... Put a CASINO to let users BET their POINTS.

Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, Bingo, Lottery

We had this with our old board (PHPBB2) and the members loved it. This would be a really cool hack to have.

[Brandon Sheley]

^ those would be add-ons

at least I would think thats how they would go about..

looks like I'll be using eStrore over the uShop

great work :)

I may wait another day or two b4 adding this

[Lottis]

Did you already have a gifts table inside the database?

-CMX
That is very possibel. Is there anything i cando to fix it?

[OAndrea]

I got an error message but I need to PM it to you as it has other info in it that I can't post here. Please look for my pm and tell me what I need to do as I am computer illiterate;)

just wanted to say ROCK ON this is cool!

IS there a way I can add more gifts to my store, my girls are GIFT happy!

[caimakale]

CMX I noticed an error in your uninstall code for 1.0.7.

// drop the newly added gifts field to the user table
$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user ADD COLUMN estore_gifts MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT ''");

You need to DROP that column. ;)

[OAndrea]

oh and one more question, how do we find out who gifted us? Where does that stuff get stashed. (I feel bad for mentioning this but in the old stuff you used to could hover over your gift to see who gifted you.

[Twigz]

Well if you did the MemberInfo template change. You can go to into your Profile or the users profile and it will tell you there comment and who it was from.. Hope this helps..

[dirtycrow]

since upgrading from 1.0.6 to 1.0.8 the users don't see any options in their store page and when they click on links in the "most sold" they get errors - The item you are trying to purchase is currently out of stock. & You are not allowed to purchase these options.

even tho they have more then enough points and i have set their permissions.

[lordofgun]

I guarantee you didn't set the category permissions.

[Makaveli105]

I have a question, when it comes to username and user title colors, i never know which color i can choose, and if you choose a color that isnt available, there go your points and theres no color.

How about a dropdown with the available colors instead of having to type in your own?

[dirtycrow]

I guarantee you didn't set the category permissions.
there are category permissions now? DOH!

thanks, that was it :)


I LOVE this hack BTW!

Mod of the month!

[lordofgun]

yep! I had the same prob. Glad it helped. :D

[OAndrea]

oh and how do I edit this???
Current Points Total: 4,492.40
Current Bank Points: 0.00

Next Bank Interest: 12-31-1969, 06:00 PM

[OAndrea]

Well if you did the MemberInfo template change. You can go to into your Profile or the users profile and it will tell you there comment and who it was from.. Hope this helps..
yup thats where it's at... thx!!

[Makaveli105]

oh and how do I edit this???

thats happening to some of my members too. saying the next bank interest is in 1969, lol

[OAndrea]

Oh another one... cause I am using the heck out of my new store :D
I tried to give a gift to a user whos screen name is "Liz (L&E'sMom)" and I know the user name is right but it says no such user int he database. Could it be because of the ()?


eta: I changed her username (with her permission) and that fixed it.

[caimakale]

Who made the buttons and templates for this hack?

I am wondering if I can get the button psd or if the maker will make a button for the ribbons hack. I am almost done with it, just testing it on my site now.

The only issue I have right now, aside from no matching button, is I need to find a way to pull the "Causes" (the cause the ribbon color represents) so they display in the alt tag when you hover over it in the postbit and when purchasing one.

Other than that, purchasing and displaying are working right. There will be a few template mods, but I have an installer and action file. It is also very similar to the gift hack, you have to enter in the username of the person you wish to purchase for. That way you can purchase ribbons for others as well as yourself to spread even more awareness!

[eNforce]

yep! I had the same prob. Glad it helped. :D

Ditto, oops :nervous:

I'll be throwing some cash your way once I can afford it cmx, gj.

[Makaveli105]

the open and close thread button are the same

[OAndrea]

I have a user who is in 4 user groups and all are able to purchase but she cannot purchase anything in the store, could it be her number of usergroups?

[eNforce]

Hmm, I've set up a custom item which is exactally identical to 'Change Username' except for it's free for certain usergroups. When I go to buy the item on my test account in the proper usergroup I'm presented with this message:

For some reason the final cost of the item was not calculated.

[Oddjob]

Can this be integrated with VBleague?

[Brandon Sheley]

could someone add some intstructions on how to add eStore if you have eCash installed already ?

thank you

[proxx]

this is MOD OF YEAR.

awesome job.

[Brandon Sheley]

maybe I'll just scrap the ucash that I've had installed, and start over with this..

installed on a test board,, works good

/me clicks install

[Mr Peabody]

Coming along Great.
Heres a suggestion for theif again. Perhaps make a time limit that cab be set> I find rich people can just keep stealing and eventually win everything.
A set time limit may deter this.
Cheers.

[lairnoc]

i was just thinking

maybe it is fun to make a loanbank or option to loanshark ;) gnagnagna :)

[Brandon Sheley]

anyone have a suggestion to what to do if you have uCash installed already ? i know my sites small and I could just start over with the points, but I really hate too...

thankyou

nvm i think post 538 will answer my Q..

thx

[Sai01]

is there anyway to remove the "Graphics done by tab @ MySpaceRocks.com " at the bottom? because i don't even use any of the graphics. i replace all the graphics with all my own buttons and stuff.

also how do i chage the donation phrase... i want "point transfer to *username-here sucessfully" instead of "purchase sucessfully". i also want to change the text in the button to "make donation" instead of "purchase"

Even though you may have changed the buttons, the layout was also done by that same person. Unless you have completely 100% changed the layout including buttons, then I don't think you can remove it. If you did that, it is located in the estore_main template.

Sorry, can't help you with that one. You probably should wait for the boss to answer your question.

maybe there is a feature where they can use real money to buy points.

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.3:

And how?

[Makaveli105]

*edit* nvm

[inkpassion]

How hard would it be to list name the itmes in the catagory with a link in the catagory?

[MPDev]

8) Thief Loses Reputation For Attempting Theft And Failing.
9) Thief Loses Reputation For Attemping Theft And Succeeding.

So, either way a thief loses reps?

[creedmaniac]

So, either way a thief loses reps?

sounds about right to me...

*enter real life*
thief steals successfully...goes to jail
thief fails to steal successfully...goes to jail
(of course...assuming he is caught)

[MPDev]

success implies he didnt get caught....

[creedmaniac]

success implies he didnt get caught....

touche : :squareeyed:

[lairnoc]

i second that :)

[OAndrea]

I have several members who cannot do anything in the store, not even bank, one who banked but can't buy anything after withdrawing... I am not sure how to proceed. I know that all of their user groups are set to allow purchasing from the store.

I think I fixed it... had to add the user groups to each item individually...

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

OK, I have checked the permission's in usergroup manager, categories and options yet I still am not allowed to get past the main shop page.
When I click a cat or try going straight to an item I get:


This has only been since I just upgraded to 1.0.8.
Anyone else having this problem?

The categories have permissions now too, check them as well as the category permissions will override individual item permissions too. For example, if category forums is only for administrators, your users will not be able to use those actions either as the entire category is disabled to them.

Yes, you have to edit the usergroup permissions to set "can be purchased as secondary".

My wife tab made the images for the eStore category and options.

I'll see about getting a psd to include into the package for personal editing.

Thats the problem, you have to query the database for each individual user, or you have to store the gift + reason inside the user database which could make the field rather large too... That's why the gifts feature I used do now show the description in the postbit now.

Banning a user would be a nice feature; we offer paid "timeouts" on our site.

Also, the ability to "buy" points would be a big revenue generator.

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

So, either way a thief loses reps?

If you change the values to 0, then no they will not lose points. Its set by default for them to lose points though. If you want them to not lose points just change the number to 0.

[shaynehammy]

Is this completely stable and safe to install?

1) Forums Features: Added 4 new options per Forum to allow the eStore Forum Options to be performed on the forum that you enable the settings for.
-a) Can Buy Forum Access Enable/Disable.
-b) Can Give Forum Access Enable/Disable.
-c) Can Deny Forum Access Enable/Disable.
-d) Can Buy Forum Password Enable/Disable.
2) Cleaned up the total cost calculation. You should now be able to remove an item even if you dont have as many points as the item costs. (This is correct as it does not COST points to remove an item. It DOES not give you the points back either!)
3) Admin Feature: Manage Options now lists editable fields for quick item cost / tax editing.
4) Field name for ebank is not an eBux Setting. (Note if you use another bank system is has to be able to handle DECIMAL(30, 5) values and not a 'Serialized' version.
5) Bugfix: If no items are in a category, an error is displayed now.
6) eStore Option: Primary Usergroup, use this to buy a Primary Usergroup.
7) eStore Option: Invisible Mode, use this option to set your flags to be seen as Invisible on the forums.
8) eStore Option: See Invisible Users, use this option to set your flags to see Invisible users on the forums.

You need to recieve gifts so that they show...

If you do not have any gifts they will not show at all, not even the gifts table..
Not sure what you are saying here?


What i am trying to say is: When gifts are sent to any member at my site no one sees them :mad:
Thanks

ah, ok, well thats a problem I guess, CMX will surely look at this :)

[Ignignokt]

The "Manage Options" page in the Admin CP does not load/work in 1.0.9.

How do I upgrade with this, just reupload all the new files?

Some of my members are still having issues using this. there is an issue with members who have special characters in their screen names like ('*) Like one of my screen names is Logan's Mommy and whenever someone tries to buy a gift for her there is a database error. I 'think' this upgrade might have fixed it but I am waiting to see if anyone else has any issues.

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Ver 1.0.9

Estore options>Manage options is now a blank page in the admin cp
So is fefill items now

You did not reupload all the files, specifically UPLOAD/includes/xml/cpnav_ebuxestore.xml as the links have changed.

That's why I put in the notes to always upload all files every time when upgrading and wait until the upload is finished before importing the product.

And then refresh the Admin CP too.

Apparently (unless configured otherwise) when there is a penalty for either action there is no "risk or not", you play you pay.

If someone can find a query for "ORDER BY (ebux + ebank)" that works for MySQL, then yes. I'm not sure if you can ORDER BY columns added, but there might be a way to do it something like SUM(ebux + ebank) AS totalpoints and then ORDER BY totalpoints, but I'll need to confirm that.

How can it hook into the paypal's payment method to verify the bucks have been paid, etc.. If I do this feature, I would like it to be automatic, like it takes the user to paypal, and then returns from the paypay to give the points to the user instantaneously. For it to do this, I have to reverse the payment php file for paypal, unless someone has already done it and we can use their code?

As far as the avatar, I'm working on that and hope to have it done soon.

You could adapt it to use the subscription system already in place in vbulletin. I'm looking at the Paypal dev site to see exactly how the system works. I'm looking at this from an .net perspective because I want to add a subscription system to one of my sites that runs on asp.net. The principle should be the same. It would be a matter of converting my c# code to php.

[Roxie]

Since the upgrade, I lost the gifts in the profile. blah..

[lordofgun]

I have an idea for a store option: unlimited rep

It would allow the buyer to pos or neg rep someone as many times as they want without spreading it around or abiding by the 24-hour limit.

[lordofgun]

Also maybe negative rep immunity. :D You could make it so they could still neg you, but it wouldn't subtract rep points.

EDIT: Purchase rep power and purchase rep points could be good too.

EDIT2: You could add a whole Reputation category which consists of all of these features.

Well when I did the install of 1.0.8 lastnight it only half installed. So I got errors from everywhere. It first started when I found out that the Form Field weren't passing variables, and then I saw that PM Boxes were blank even with all of the PMs being accounted for. I looked at the estore.php? and it as well wasn't showing up at all. So I was putting one and two together (Half Installation + Fresh Installation of eStore = Disappearing Content)

I still have yet to figure out why there are any install errors in v1.0.8

I was thinking maybe people already had a 'gifts' table in the database, then in v1.0.9, I altered it to change the gifts table to estore_gifts and/or re-create it as well.

Ther are like 3 places you have to set the usergroup permissions before a usergroup can actually use the store.
Under manage usergroups
under estore options-->manage catagories set each catagory individually
and estore options----> manage options set each option individually

A jail function is nice. If someone steals there is a xx % change to get caught and go to jail. Now that is one thing. It would be hilarious cool to see which users are in prison, so to do that it must be visible. A police cel with in it or behind it the avatars reduced to approximately 50 % or so behind bars. This requires some specific grafics but it's worth it i think.

When in jail thou can not post nor reply for a specific period of time, altered in the admin cp eshop settings but alas...you could buy an escape. That escape could give a random result of success and costs $. Or...others can buy you free. When in jail the user(s) could have an avatar forced in their postbit..a jailbird with striped outfit and a jailnumber on it.

To make thievery realy attractive their must be something to winn for the thief also. By a certain successrate the thief could be rewarded with a special gift, a crime statue or something to show that crimes pay if you are lucky enough to live the day. :)

managed to solve this problem by looking through the "estore.php" in admincp. i am not sure of how appropriate it is to display someone's code in here, but it's a small fix of a misspelling, so i am presuming it's ok. apologies to cmx if that's not allowed. anyway, fix:

line 491 - /admincp/estore.php

$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . $vbulletin->options['ebux_pointstable'] . " SET " . $vbulletin->options['ebux_pointsfield'] . " = posts");

the option in the last field was spelled as optin. change that and everything is dandy.

[StarBuG]

Hi

Thx for this hack, currently testing it out.

A question.

The sticky option is nice to have but I realy would like to be able to select in which forums I want to allow this option to work
Same goes for other options that effect forums

Another question:

The setting: "Expires X Days after Purchase" does this mean that the item disappears from the users itemlist after the ammount of time (if he didn?t use it)?
Or does it mean that after X Days the thread he sticked will get unsticked again?

The second option would be very usefull

Or what about denieing some colors for usernames for example.
So that users can?t change there username color and layout so that they look like admins or mods

A short "how to" for implementing other hacks using eBux would be nice too.
I for example use PhotoPlog Lite (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=101368) and I would like to limit the number of photos users can upload by default (can be set via the photoplog options) but I would like to have another eStore item that will increase the number of photos +10 or such.
How would I do that?

And one more.
Would it be possible to remember if a pager message has already poped up?
If I have multiple tabs from my forum open in Firefox, then it pops up on every tab.

I also noticed that when I got a pager message on my forum tab I can?t write in this message window (happend to me 4 times during writing this) until I go to the tab with the pager message and then back

Another "Bug":
If you deposit an ammount of money into your bank the "next time of interests" is set to the new time.
It would be good if it was stored at the first deposit and then never changes.
If you deposit a new amount of money 5mins before you would get interests you would lose a whole day ;)

The richest member display only shows points a user has not in the bank.
To realy show the richest member you would need to take the bank into account too ;)

Yeah, a show stopper for us for sure. Looks like something with the URLs is being interfered with because, for example, if you click on a user profile you are told that none exists for that user (or any user). None of the forums could be accessed and neither could any of the threads.

This requires some specific grafics but it's worth it i think.


Even something as simple as putting them into a seperate usergroup for a set time would be sufficient. Then, you just place any restrictions you want on the "Jailed" group. Have a cron job bail them out after a certian period.

I was thinking of having a single forum where "inmates" could talk, but wasn't accessable for non-jailed members. This way, inmates could leave messages, make it a bit more fun.

I do this on my forums: I have a separate section called "Doc's Dungeon: The Tenth Level of HELL", where my "banished" members can post and play (and not have access to any other part of the forum, for the duration of their banishment). Easy to do, using a banned usergroup. Used to use AWS when it worked on the old 3.00 series; now I use Inferno's warning hack.

My members actually enjoy this. They also used to like to purchase "visits to HELL" for other members, with the old uStore hack (when that worked). And, with the old hack, I had an option for people to buy their way out of HELL.

Made for some entertaining times....

Looking forward to installing it, once the vbseo issues are worked out.

upgraded with no problems to 1.0.9 form .8

I have a question...

on the bump a thread.. it says enter thread ID..

how would a user know the thread ID ?

can we just put the thread url ?

I could add it to accept a thread url too, will be for the next version.

Thanks..but is there a way to remove it once a user has purchased it?

If the user has purchased it and they want to remove it, they simply just goto buy it again and it will automatically say "You have this already do you want to remove?"

Select the remove button and its removed.

managed to solve this problem by looking through the "estore.php" in admincp. i am not sure of how appropriate it is to display someone's code in here, but it's a small fix of a misspelling, so i am presuming it's ok. apologies to cmx if that's not allowed. anyway, fix:

line 491 - /admincp/estore.php

$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . $vbulletin->options['ebux_pointstable'] . " SET " . $vbulletin->options['ebux_pointsfield'] . " = posts");

the option in the last field was spelled as optin. change that and everything is dandy.

It's fine, I found this misspelling too and will be putting it into v1.1.0

Hello,

is it possible to display the points for european users?

53,000.00 should be displayed as 53.000,00

I did not find this answer in the last 65 pages ;)

Thanks, Wachtmeister

Right now it uses number_format to format the points, there is a vbnumber_format, does anyone know if that would use the proper format? If so, I can change all number_format's to vbnumber_format and that would solve this issue.

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Hey, This is looking awesome, just playing with it at the moment

Can I ask however, when you enter a category the breadcrumbs are updated with a link to go back to estore home :)

There's a link at the top to always go back tot he main estore home.

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Some general notes, if your users are having problems with the permissions there are 3 things to set permissions for.

1) Usergroup Permissions
2) Category Permissions, this will OVERRIDE all individual item permissions at this time.
3) Option Permissions, this is overridden by the Category Permissions, but also checked at any spot where it checks for items.

I'm also doing as much as a I can, I still have to work as well as work on this hack. I just need to delegate time appropriately to both. So updates may not come twice a day, but there should be some kind of update every 1 or 2 days for a while yet as well.

As far as a Jail goes, sounds like a good idea, but if you implement it with a secondary usergroup, it would be much easier to implement as there is a secondary usergroup change php script already, just need to make it look for the specific usergroup you want it to put them into.

I'm looking into some of the other features, I'd rather not say about them at this time, just know they are good ones :)

Here's some updates to expect in v1.1.0 to be released later today....

v1.1.0 Update:
1) Added some custom section names for Bank, Donate, Admin Donate & Thief.
2) Some behind the scenes updating, caches the categories and options into the datastore table to avoid some queries.
3) Usergroup based Discount Rate. You can now setup discount rates for each usergroup you want the costs to be discounted for.
4) Bugfix: Item's with a cost of 0 points will work properly now.
5) eStore Setting: Removeable Items Are Refundable? will refund the option cost to the user removing the option if its enabled.
6) Admin Feature: Fix All Gift Postbits. If you have some gifts that are purchased that are not showing up, odds are you need to run this command to fix the gifts up properly.
7) eStore Option: Default Avatar, you can buy a default avatar if your site has default avatars setup from the Admin CP.

please cmx, dont make it that way. make it seperately and give it to this guy but dont make it the default for this hack.

the jail idea was good. I have few but since you have so many to work on, I will wait.

I haven't installed this yet but I will as soon as 1.1 is released today

5) eStore Setting: Removeable Items Are Refundable? will refund the option cost to the user removing the option if its enabled.
-CMX

can this be made so the refund % is changeable? IE...if someone buys something for 100bux, and then decides he doesn't want it...he only get say 25 back for a refund...or 50 if i set it to 50%.

also a neat idea to incorporate into the above idea...percentage based on time since purchase. IE...Bob buys an avatar for 500bux, changes his mind within 12 hours so he gets 100% refund, but if he waits 4 days he gets 50%, and a week he gets no refund.

you just read my mind after reading the refund feature.

Thats exactly what I had in mind. If a refudn feature is added then every member will use a feature for a while and go back to the store to get their money back and use that money towards buying another feature.

the refund feature should be implemented exactly the way creedmaniac just explained it to be

[StarBuG]

Any comments to my questions and suggestions?

[Kajouka]

7) eStore Option: Default Avatar, you can buy a default avatar if your site has default avatars setup from the Admin CP.

Could you have buying a custom avatar (one you'd upload from your own computer) as an option too? I just installed today and noticed that the hack didn't have that.

Thanks!

[Saskia]

Is there a possibility to link the store to a certain style? So it is always displayed in one specific style, like you can override a person's custom styles as if it were a forum?

[influence]

Hi

Thx for this hack, currently testing it out.

A question.

The sticky option is nice to have but I realy would like to be able to select in which forums I want to allow this option to work
Same goes for other options that effect forums

Another question:

The setting: "Expires X Days after Purchase" does this mean that the item disappears from the users itemlist after the ammount of time (if he didn?t use it)?
Or does it mean that after X Days the thread he sticked will get unsticked again?

The second option would be very usefull

Or what about denieing some colors for usernames for example.
So that users can?t change there username color and layout so that they look like admins or mods

A short "how to" for implementing other hacks using eBux would be nice too.
I for example use PhotoPlog Lite (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=101368) and I would like to limit the number of photos users can upload by default (can be set via the photoplog options) but I would like to have another eStore item that will increase the number of photos +10 or such.
How would I do that?

And one more.
Would it be possible to remember if a pager message has already poped up?
If I have multiple tabs from my forum open in Firefox, then it pops up on every tab.

I also noticed that when I got a pager message on my forum tab I can?t write in this message window (happend to me 4 times during writing this) until I go to the tab with the pager message and then back

Another "Bug":
If you deposit an ammount of money into your bank the "next time of interests" is set to the new time.
It would be good if it was stored at the first deposit and then never changes.
If you deposit a new amount of money 5mins before you would get interests you would lose a whole day ;)

The richest member display only shows points a user has not in the bank.
To realy show the richest member you would need to take the bank into account too ;)


TWO GREAT points. the user name color so that people wont pretend or look like they admins and also not to include certain forums for the sticky because on my site I have a section and I dont want people making stupid threads sticky.


please see what you can do about those

[Kajouka]

Another question: Is there a way to tie the points into the subscriptions? IE: if you purchase a forum subcription, or donate money to the forum, you also get x amount of points as well?

[CompuJonathan]

Would it be possible to move the "remove" button to the list of options?

Also, it seems that when you go to remove an option it checks if you have enough points to purchase it.

[AshokForums.com]

OH NOOO. going to be the reason why I might not install this. I will go to the vbseo site and post about this so they can figure things out

This hack works fine with vbSEO.. check my post on vbSEO.com ... http://www.vbseo.com/f77/ebux-estore-3430/

[PCOSLiving.com]

I already have user's with points, used vB 3.0.x with ustore. Upgraded to vB3.5.x, upgraded to uStore 1.0.x. Now I am trying to migrate to eBux/eStore and I am wondering what changes I would need to make so that ppl's previous purchases aren't lost in transfer to eBux as well as make sure points don't get lost. Any help would be appreciated.

[Gamersource]

Not that it's that hard, but I created myself a drop down menu for the navbar with the recent update and also for the last one... anyway, I did that cause people are lazy? So I made it in the same order as the categories. Maybe you could incorporate that in as a optional thing? I like the categories also. Nice job so far! If I see you in chat, I'll talk more about it if you're interested.

ok question. When I installed this hack it messed up my boards.

I uploaded all the files into the proper directorys. I installed it using the admin panel. I did the templete updates. I could change all the settings in the admin panel and everything.

What is messed up was members. No logging in, no registering, member profiles didn't exist period.

Does anyone know what I did wrong? It seems to work fine for the rest of you.

[NuclioN]

Another idea. Members can by a 'robe the bank' option. When they've buyed this they arrive on a page with a 10 digit code protected vault. They have to enter a combination of numbers to obtain access and it's obvious that this must be a tight set security. But...it triggers people to try and spend their points. If it failes -> Jail! :)

Possibly by adding another hook where it builds the who's online list.

I'd have to do more research to know for sure.

Damn it, that will be hard to do, to do a percentage of when it was installed, especially if the user deleted it from their history as there would be no record on the time it was installed.

I could definitely add a setting so there could be a percentage based refund so it could only refund 50%, and I'll add that before 1.1.0 releases tonite.

I will have a custom avatar where you can upload a file too, but not sure if that will make it into this version v1.1.0 or if it will have to wait for v1.1.1

Quite possibly the estore.php could FORCE the $style variable to a specified ID, needs some more researching though.
