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

[darkilla2]

suggestion...

v3Arcade Integration - players get money on a (dily,weekly,monthly) basis for holding titles from the arcade...

and also i have vbookie installed... when i install ucash, will estore be able to use ucash and vbookie without a problem???

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

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

There will be more forum settings for the thread features soon, like close, open, sticky, unsticky, bump, debump thread in v1.1.0 when it releases.

There are banned words in the usertitle list so they cant choose Administrator if you have that word in the banned words list for user title, but to add a color restriction would be difficult because sure, you could block red, black, colors like that, but what if your Admin title is "#FF0000"... Someone could use "#FF0001" or #FF0100" or "#FF0101"...etc.. It would look so close anyways it wouldnt matter to the user if it wasnt 'exact' anyways. So I think that this feature alone is not really a useful one.

the new updated rocks! thanks :)+

[docvader]

CMX, your persistence, dedication and abilities here are truly laudable. Another impressive piece of work, can't wait to install it.

I've been reading every post, but, I still have one very ignorant question, and I just wanted to make sure before I jumped into this:

I have the lastest uCash installed, upgraded from previous 3.0x version. (I did not install latest uStore). I know that ebux will "read" the uCash points. But, to make this work properly, will I have to eventualy uninstall the uCash program and data tables for uCash/uStore? Will ebux override it and ignore it? Will there be conflicts?

Basically, what do previous successful users of uStore/uCash, from long ago, do, to move over to ebux??

Thanks! Greatly appreciate the time and effort you've put into this for the community here.

I had to go back to 1.0.5a, I installed 1.0.8, it wouldn't show the store, installed 1.0.9 and same result, no store, and yes that is with all settings saved in the correct places, I will wait on 1.1.0 and see what it will do, is there something in 1.0.6 or 1.0.7 thats adding something that I'm missing that would be causing this?

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

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.

It does not check if you have enough points to remove it as of version v1.0.9, look at the updates in v1.0.9 update number 2 for more details.

Where exactly did you have in mind?

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

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.

Unfortunately all the uCash integration does it take the points the user has on hand and transfers them. To actually read through all of their shop items and activate the estore counterparts would be tricky, but I would not want to release this as an "add in" to the direct script to step on the toes of the uShop makers.

If someone else makes a script and has disclaimers all over it, maybe we could post it as a separate download attached to this thread, but I dont want to build that feature into the product eBux / eStore.

-CMX

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

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.

Do you have a test board where I could import the product and edit plugins to do some debugging on to try and track the error?

If you do, PM me with the URL and admin access username/password and I'll take a look at it.

-CMX

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

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! :)

Thats a funny idea, but I got a lot more important features to work on besides this at the moment. We dont have the Federal Bank account in and working yet either. So until that feature gets added, i.e. the loans system, a feature like this is not plausible yet.

If its not fixed in v1.0.9, it's fixed in v1.1.0 that will be released tonite.

Verify the global setting for eBux Store Enabled is on from the eBux Settings, most of the time that is the issue for this, or the postbit is not edited for the style that you are viewing the threads in.

Well, there is a feature to "steal" the ucash points field and put them into the ebux points field. If you use this feature, you could then just disable the product for uCash and it will function normally. The feature is in the Admin CP called uCash Integration.

Did you set the settings per usergroup? As of v1.0.8 there is a usergroup permission to make sure the store is enabled for each and every usergroup.

Also make sure the category you are viewing has your usergroup in the allowedgroups field, as well as the individual option as well.

-CMXI set the usergroups, I set the usergroup ids in the categories and saved each one, still it will not show the store items, I may try downloading it again and seeing what it does, maybe I just had a bad download, but both 1.0.8 and 1.0.9, unlikely. I'll let you know how it goes and thanks.

Ok I can understand were you coming from. Is there a way to disable the change username color option? I dont want my members to be able to change their user name color

[ImportPassion]

ok, this is awesome hack. better than ushop.

couple things...

I want unlimited on most stuff, so I set default refill to 0, quantity to 0 refill date to 0 and my users get "out of stock" msg.
What are the values supposed to be at for unlimited?

Also, what is the purpose of the Denied UG's? If I don't have the UG in Allowed, aren't they automatically denied?

Thx

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Yes, go to Manage Options, there is an "Active", you can set them to Off for any feature you want to completely disable.

Right now the unlimited only works for items with a cost of 0, I'll fix that in v1.1.0

I was wondering the same thing actually, since they are denied the option by default. It's possible that the denied groups may be useless and may be removed in the future.

Anyone know why a denied groups would be necessary?

I have finally installed this and I gotta say that I love it to pieces!!

It was easy to install, config (with a few exceptions but I found answers here cause others already asked my q's), and has features in it that I always wanted in the old store + hacks I used.

Thanks BUNCHES for all your hard work!!! You totally rock!!

To include features that we had to hack in ourselves in another store before is just totally awesome!! I do hope other peopes will still make addons as the one awesome dude did with the ribbons, but want to say thanks for adding in alot of the main ingredients we all so loved.

Thanks to the original dude for the gifts and ribbons as well...it's always been my fave....

Thanks to all who have helped these programmers find bugs, encourage to create, help donate, and help with ideas to enhance.

Ya all totally rock!!! Thanks BUNCHES!!!

Now I can finally upgrade my other forums without losing the fun stuff...ahhhh, I thinks I'm in heaven ;)

[Roxie]

No. As an admin. If I want to manually take a certain amount of points from someone. In ushop you would just put a negative in front of the number. This doesn't work here.


anyone figure this out?

[4number8]

I have no trouble taking and giving points, are you doing this in the same place you would edit the user?

[shaynehammy]

Is this going to be intergrated in VArcade?

[The Chief]

Is this going to be intergrated in VArcade?

we hope so ;)

[Roxie]

I have no trouble taking and giving points, are you doing this in the same place you would edit the user?

No, I want to use the admin donate so that my mods can use it. If there is ever a lottery hack, I won't need it...i don't think..lol

Ok here is how to integrate ebux and vbookie without having to edit the vbookie files.

If you have ucash installed then just go into ebux options in ACP select Manage Settings and change Points Field Name to ucash (it should be the 4th option up from the bottom.)

If you didn't have ucash installed then you will also need to run the following query (go to ACP maintenance Execute SQL Query)

ALTER TABLE `user` CHANGE `ebux` `ucash` DECIMAL( 30, 5 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.00000'

Then select ucash integration option in vbookie.

That should be it.

Frugal

Frugal or anyone:

Followed the instructions and everything works except on the vbookie.php it shows the cash amounts as 50.0000, isthere a way to get rid of the extra four didgits so its just 5.?

Thanks

[WolfsongNevan]

Sorry, is there a way to add more gifts?

[lordofgun]

Make that 10.

[kylek]

Was working on getting vbookie to work with Ebux and everything looked good except after doing the sql query - ALTER TABLE `user` CHANGE `ebux` `ucash` DECIMAL( 30, 5 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.00000' I am now getting athis database error;

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.3:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT userid, username, ebux

Ebux - Estore was working beautifully before. Anyone got any ideas? help!!

[lordofgun]

why not just go into your functions_vbookie.php file and change all instances of "ucash" to "ebux"?

[kylek]

I was going to do that but instead found this post with the sql query. Now I got to figure out how to redo the query?

[ConKien]

It's amazing you could code all these within a few days CMX. This hack will be the HOTM for sure. Thanks for giving us bro!

Dude, the work you're doing here is no joke. I was waiting for the ucash, even donated ... and it took them months.

I would never use ucash. Ebux rules.

You have created a great contribution to the community.

And these updates, with such frequency is nothing short of amazing.

Thank you very much.

Once I get a few bucks in my paypal account, I'll donate to you. Everybody should.

I hope you continue innovating and improving this hack, and make ucash useless ..so ucash users will swith to ebux.

Thanks.

You need to add the usergroup number to the categories and products you want them to access. You do this in your admincp. You actually have to click on the categories and go in and enter the additional usergroup number(s), same goes for the product, click on the actual product name and add the usergroup number(s)

[Sooner95]

how about a cheeseburger?

[creedmaniac]

here's a joke gift...

[MustangLisa]

It does not require ucash and probably works better with ucash disabled.
If you did have ucash installed, it will transfer your points onhand to the current ebux field so your users wont lose their points. The new uCash for vB 3.5 doesnt seem to give the users a bank option so thats why the admin script doesnt import any bank settings from uCash. (Although the 3.0 version has a bank that I might incorporate later when I have time to research it more.)

Bank amounts are only obtained by your users depositing money into their bank, each user has their own "bank account" stored in their "user" table. The user will incur interest on the period of interest interval specified in the eBux Settings in the Admin CP.

-CMX

Installed, thanks! I'd love to be able to bring over the bank amounts ... my members would be so appreciative.

Also, is there a way to make the gift message appear on "hover" from the postbit?

[Sooner95]

Also, is there a way to make the gift message appear on "hover" from the postbit?

Yea, notcied this was missing as well... the ribbons have it, mouse over and the ribbon descrip pops up.. be cool for the Gifts, so could see the message givin when purchased.

[sully02]

Here is something that our board could use based on past experiences with the store modification:

When an item is refilled, someone will come in and buy all of the items available, not even leaving others with the option to buy any. Is there a way that items could be set up (On a per-item basis, not as a general store setting) so that once you buy an item, you cannot buy another of that item until the store restocks?

[EasyTarget]

I was trying to think of a new penalty for getting caught theiving and maybe a good option would be to make it so if a thief gets caught X times in a row then they can't earn points for a certain amount of time.

I also think it'd be cool if the theiving percentage was scaleable, so if you try to steal 5 points its a lot easier than trying to steal 5000 points. Or make it so if you try to steal 1% of a user's points then its a lot easier than trying to steal 80% of a users points. Or do it by % of the thieves points, so if you try to steal 1% of your total from another user that its easier than trying to steal 80% of your total from someone else.

And this might sound a bit corny, but maybe make it so that thieves have some sort of exp. points so that the more they succeed in stealing points then the easier it becomes for them.

with this you can make it so that stealing from another thief with = or > exp. becomes more difficult.

Maybe add an option for master thieves to steal from banks as well and have different types of banks that are more secure, etc. Also maybe so that master thieves can steal from groups of people instead of just one. Add some options for people to protect themselves from thives too, not just immunity (which I think should cost a lot of points) but like a money belt, a personal safe, etc.. small things that will make it so a theif is less likely to be successful against them.

Also, with the gifts stuff, maybe make it so thieves can steal gifts as well. And maybe make it so thieves can show off the stuff they've stolen in a loot bag or something and maybe a small profile like most successful thieving attempts in a row, most amount of points stolen, times caught, most successful against X user, least successful against X user, most expensive gift stolen.

*edit*
maybe even allow users to create thieving guilds like a usergroup that a master thief could start and the other thieves pay him X amount of points per month to be a member and it increases their chances of success.

Since this gives the option of changing usernames is there a way to keep track of their previous usernames?

[EasyTarget]

yeah, it would be nice for some of these options, especially for the options where you change other users names and groups that they can choose on a scalealbe pricing system how long to change it for, and then after that amount of time their username, title, group, whatever, would go back to what it was before.

[Frugal]

Please excuse me if these have already been suggested but I've just arrived home from a long trip and it will take me a while to catch up.

A few things I'd like to see on the ebux side rather than the store side.

An admin configurable Birthday bonus added to peoples accounts on their birthday, and the same again for Christmas.

Hidden treasure - random bonus cash hidden in random threads ie if you read the thread you get an extra 100 ebux. Not sure how difficult this would be but was a feature of the Petz hack.

Oh and for the store
Lottery - each user can enter the lottery and a random winner gets all the proceeds. Ticket price and lottery period being admin configurable.

I like that idea...ALOT!!!!

[kylek]

why not just go into your functions_vbookie.php file and change all instances of "ucash" to "ebux"?

I tried this but vbookie it seems still uses the vcash or ucash. Is there any settings that have to be changed in ebux / estore to get ebux to be used?

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

This is music to my ears! Can you recommend any sites that have a good selection of these?

Thanks again for such an awesome product!!

Not sure of any sites, but I'm sure you could always google for images...

How do you change the points per thread and points per post caus i tried doing it and it didnt work

You have to change this number per each forum, there is a mass forum settings that will set all forums at once in the Admin CP. The settings in the eBux Settings are multipliers so if you put 5 per reply, and the multiplier is 2, then the user would get 10 points per post reply.

I have question
ihave ucash and i install the eBux / eStore
and i do the uCash Integration so now i can to delet the ucash Products and the table of ucash in the db? or the eBux / eStore use the ucash table?

All of the uCash Integration does is rob the points from the ucash/uttstore_points table and puts them into the 'ebux' table field. If you leave the points/bank fields the default values (ebux/ebank), then after you run the uCash Integration to save your users points, then you can uninstall uCash completely.

When a moderator wants to deny access to their forum they get this message: This site does not have any forums that you can access.

There's a setting to where you have to enable each one of the eStore options per forum in the Forum Settings. It's done this way to avoid users accessing forums you dont want them to be able to.

Ahh - Sorry about that, I think I missed that update.

I was thinking where it lists all the options that are under the category. Maybe another column that has the remove button?

- Jon

Maybe I have an idea to implement something like this, it will be harder, but I think I can do it. We'll see.

Installed, thanks! I'd love to be able to bring over the bank amounts ... my members would be so appreciative.

Also, is there a way to make the gift message appear on "hover" from the postbit?

Thanks for all your work on this!! It's great.

I mentioned this before, but there is a problem with the user table getting too big by putting them in, as well as the problem if it has to read them from the database, it would have to send another query for each person who has replied in the thread you have viewed, which would be too server intensive for most sites. So for these reasons, I'm not looking into the gift messages on hover.

Here is something that our board could use based on past experiences with the store modification:

When an item is refilled, someone will come in and buy all of the items available, not even leaving others with the option to buy any. Is there a way that items could be set up (On a per-item basis, not as a general store setting) so that once you buy an item, you cannot buy another of that item until the store restocks?

I can understand the point, let me think on it for a bit to see if I could come up with a way to do this easily.

Since this gives the option of changing usernames is there a way to keep track of their previous usernames?

Does vBulletin have a way to track this when you change a user's name in the Admin CP? If so, I could mimic that action easily. Otherwise, I'd have to create a new table and store all username changes in it. Does anyone know if the Admin CP keeps a log when changing a user's name?

Please excuse me if these have already been suggested but I've just arrived home from a long trip and it will take me a while to catch up.

Frugal

Birthday bonus, good idea, I'll see about implementing it into a future revision.

A hidden treasure, that is probably just a random number generation to give extra points or not I would guess as that would increase no queries to check for which threads get the points, etc..

Lottery - been there, added it to the requests list, it should be getting worked on soon.


How about giving points based on their usergroups. Like I want to give the mods something weekly.

Going to implement a paycheck for the usergroup settings in the future soon too.

I tried this but vbookie it seems still uses the vcash or ucash. Is there any settings that have to be changed in ebux / estore to get ebux to be used?

If you did the replacing ucash to ebux in vbookie's php files, you must enable the setting in vBookie that says "use uCash".

EasyTarget: A lot of the stuff you mentioned about the thief is trivial, what I think I should do is implement hooks for the store actions. This way some others could implement add on's to hackup any store option you wish.

It will be done when it's done.

he has already made 1.1.0 :) It will be released soon

[kylek]

Sculli,

Did you see me demanding the next release right away, not at all, I know CMX is and has been incredibly busy doing all the updates and helping us all, I just asked for an estinmated time that the next update might be ready, thats all.

Not only is he working hard to put out updates and more features, the guy is actually replying to everyone comments/questions/features request and help. How is that for great support? Doing it all by himself in a short period of time too and always up for new challenge to make it better.

should be because I plan to change the word points to Money and put a dollar sign infront of the numbers. Hope its not that hard to do

[CrazyShooter]

Here is the way that i done it:

Styles & Templates - Style Manager - >><< - Postbit Templates - postbit_legacy -

then search for
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]<br />
<a href="estore.php?do=donate&amp;userid=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[ebux_points]</a>: $post[points]

and change
$vbphrase[ebux_points]

To What ever you want the points to be called, Money, Cash, Dollars, Points..

================================================== ========

To put a dollar sign in frount:
Change
$post[points]
To:

Dollar Sign ($)
$$post[points]

Pound Sign (?)
$$post[points]

Hash Sign (#)
#$post[points]

I know how to do it that way just like Ushop but I am talking making it global? For it to show that way at the store, profile, postbit and so on

[Frugal]

Yes you can change points to whatever you want. Just do a search for points in phrase manager. I changed mine to Frubles as that is what my members named the money when I had petz installed.

One store option I'd like to add is the option to reset your daily rep giving limit. eg if you can give rep 10 times in 24 hours it would be cool to pay to reset the counter to zero so that you can give rep another 10 times in the same day. I've been looking at adding this myself (already added the option to buy more rep points) but can't quite work out how to do it with this. As far as I can tell the Where value is probably $vbulletin->options['reputationrepeat'] but I'm too much of a beginner level hacker to figure the rest out. If CMX or any other vb gurus can point me in the right direction I'd be real grateful.

Frugal

[PixelFx]

Any addons for requiring so many ebux before you can play a game in the v3arcade? or so many points to use vB Pager system?

the script looks great so far. Thanks for all the time you have put into this :D

[Frugal]

Right now the unlimited only works for items with a cost of 0, I'll fix that in v1.1.0

I was wondering the same thing actually, since they are denied the option by default. It's possible that the denied groups may be useless and may be removed in the future.

Anyone know why a denied groups would be necessary?

-CMX

Don't know if this has already been answered but denied groups is really useful. Currently I have a group that I deny the ability to change their title however many of them are in a secondary group that is allowed, so whilst say group 27 are not in the allowed group and are thus denied the option by default they still get the option via the secondary group that is allowed the option. As the denied groups currently takes priority I can deny the option to members of a particular group regardless of any secondary groups they are in. So please don't remove this in the future.

CMX is a machine....not only is this a kick ass product with no problems......but the support is second to none. Honestly I can't even believe he replies to so many people, hats off to ya!

[Gallio]

I've installed the Hack it works fine no errors only one thing, The points systems or panels are not showing up on my vBulletin templates. I've added the coders I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.. Can anyone help?

[FROGGYJ]

Found a bug I think. I can't seem to deposit any money with decimal places. For example I tried 539.89 and it says you do not have enough points to perform this action. So then I tried 0.89 and got the same problem....whole numbers aren't a problem though, just the cents.

[Frugal]

Another cool feature for the ebux would be an option in the postbit for admins to fine users for a bad post, possibly with the option to enter a fine amount and add a reason that is sent to the user as the fine is removed from their ebux. Kinda like a report this post but fine this post.

any idea why thief fails for admins to other members?

i understand the setting to fail on staff, but thats disabled and i have on a test board admins trying to thief from other staff and other members and its failing.. and they are broke .. LMAO .. but anyone know what could be the problem?

No idea, I'll have to look into this soon. There is nothing that I know of that should stop an Admin from stealing from normal members other than other admins in place.

i assume there is a way to change the name "points" in this mod to "gold" using the phrase manager right?

Yes, the ebux_points phrase should be the one you are looking to change. Thanx for the support as well.

One thing at a time, hehe. I've added the Avatar Options this go into v1.1.0. The Reputation options will be coming in either the next version, or a version afterwards depending on what all I have time to do. It is going into the weekend after all.

Any addons for requiring so many ebux before you can play a game in the v3arcade? or so many points to use vB Pager system?

I've posted at the v3arcade site and asked for a few hooks so I can make it cost eBux to pay to play as well as make an arcade pass that plays the arcade for free for x days too. Hopefully they will respond, otherwise there would have to be code modifications done to arcade.php in the future.

Ah, yes, thats why its there. To allow users that have the main userid equal to an allowed one, but if they have a secondary group that you want them to not use an option for. I knew I had added it for a reason.

Found a bug I think. I can't seem to deposit any money with decimal places. For example I tried 539.89 and it says you do not have enough points to perform this action. So then I tried 0.89 and got the same problem....whole numbers aren't a problem though, just the cents.

Decimals are working fine for me in v1.1.0, so maybe either the upgrade will fix that problem, or, are you using the default ebux points table? If not, make sure the points table you are using is type DECIMAL(30, 5)

Another cool feature for the ebux would be an option in the postbit for admins to fine users for a bad post, possibly with the option to enter a fine amount and add a reason that is sent to the user as the fine is removed from their ebux. Kinda like a report this post but fine this post.

Sounds like a good option to add for "inline" moderation features possibly too. It would be better in the inline options I think than inside the postbit?

This response is to all of the supporters, not just Frugal. Thanx for all of the support. If you know http://www.cmgsccc.com You know that I, CMX, have been striving to bring the BEST hacks/cheats/codes around on the web! We do this in our business for Code Breaker products and in anything I do, I like to give it my all as I think any job working doing is one worth doing properly!

I've been coding/hack for many years, since 1990 in fact. My very first hacking experience dates back to Super NES Pro Action Replay code hacking in 1990. I have evolved overtime from a gaming nut to what I would call, the 'Code Master', hence my name at my website. I'm 27 years old, I am happily married to tab @ MySpaceRocks.com (Hi honey!), I work for Electro Source, LLC (Pelican Performance).

I've spent a lot of time on this hack over the week to get it up to what it is right now. I've spent so much time on it in fact, I kind of need to get back to work, and I definitely have slipped away some time from my family. I'm just posting this because I think the hack is getting very well off. And the features/requests/addons will not come as fast as they have in this week. In fact, I'm trying to set a set amount of time for me to work on this hack as well as time for work and the family. I'd appreciate it if you users stay patient and understand that although I may think like a "machine", I am only human :)

With that being said, v1.1.0 is getting released now to rock your socks!!

I'm going to update it this second, too many features to repost here again and make the post even longer. But there are a few surprises that made it into the release that were not disclosed in a previous post yet.

Without further ado, thanx for supporting CMX & eBux, ENJOY!!

I think it would be sweet to get a job. I know this is all talk right now, but a plugin where after you sign up you are "fry cook" or something. That will determine how many points you earn. It would be based on the usergroup you are in.

You can get promoted based on your post count and reputation to many new jobs. With each new job comes more "points per thread" etc...you earn more...but at the same time you get taxed a little more.

CMX is probably thinking of walking away now. LOL The ideas for this hack will keep getting more extravagent.

what would really be great is one page with all the permissions listed and set them in one hit instead of opening every single one up.

All their permissions per shop item. Currently you have to go into each item and set permissions it would be great if there was 1 page say "set item permissions" where you could set them all on 1 page, I think you would agree this would be much easier as its easy to lose track of what you have already set and all the new stuff :)

I was thinking about making a change and instead of it listing the numbers... 2,5,6,7, I was thinking have it list the usergroups itself and "check off" the ones that are currently "allowed".

I might look into some global setting like you mentioned, it is kind of a pain to add a usergroup to "all" items.

However they are still being seen when on eStores main page. Have upgraded to the latest 1.1.0. Is there a setting I am still missing to hide the avatar category?

[kofoid]

Do you have the eBux Global Setting enabled? That is the most common error with the gifts not showing.

-CMX
Do you mean "Eanble ebux points system? Yes/No?" It's set to yes

[proxx]

my mistake. everything is good

[MPDev]

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

Well, that's nice; but I can say for certain that it didn't work on my 3.53 installation with the latest vbSEO installed. I might be willing to give it another try in a week or so.

Also in your update list for 1.1.0 there is: 24) Richest Members sorts by points on hand + points in the bank now. It lists 3 columns for points as well. Points on hand, points in the bank and total points overall.

I still only have the one original column.

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Is there a security option to make sure when someone gets points for their birthday, that they dont reset thier birthday in the usercp to the next day and so on to get more points?

Doh, actually nope, I'll think of a way to block this though in a future release :)

1) Update to v1.1.0.1a as there was a bug in the hiding of categories.
2) Manage Categories from the Admin CP and turn Avatar options to Off with v1.1.0.1a and it should be disabled properly.

If you private message me, I could log into your forum as admin and try to track down the problem.

This is only when you click on Richest Members, I need to do this edit too for the top 10 that shows on the main store page. It will go into a future verison.

I upgraded to 1.1.0.1a and have all the Avatar options turned off and they are still showing.

[Skyline_GT]

I wonder how do you view the logs for Bank Transactions and Donate Transaction?

[proxx]

I am trying to use teh 'gifts' feature. I buy a gift for another user, but it doesn't show on his postbit. How does this work?

[Skyline_GT]

I also wonder when the category is inavtive, will it still show on the store page?
I turned it off a category... but it stll show for me in the store page,

I have the same problem with v1.1.0.1.a, non active categories are still being seen.

[lordofgun]

I have the same problem with v1.1.0.1.a, non active categories are still being seen.

Did you disable the categories for all usergroups?

[4number8]

It works flawless for me, the only problem that I have had was self inflected, I had edited a template, and updated but until i reverted the template I had problems with stuff showing, but after the revert everything took right off just as it was suppose to.

[Ignignokt]

CMX_CMGSCCC: I hate to ask for it again, but i've seen quite a few request this feature; I also believe it would be simple to create.

Could you make it so richest users is computed by the value of all money (in bank and in pocket). Couldn't another table be made which adds points + bankpoints and draw that from the database?

[Gallio]

Did you edit the postbit/postbit_legacy templates, if you did, it should show up in the postbit information.

I'm not sure where to find this file, Is it in the admin CP? or the Hosting files?

[BeatificFaith]

Thank you so much for this! It works beautifully.... Your support has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you!!

[lordofgun]

How about an Option where you could buy the ability to hide your actions in the store for a period of time. (example: you juust changed someone's user title, but don't want them to know it's you that changed it.)

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Thanks for the quick support response!!

I upgraded to 1.1.0.1a and have all the Avatar options turned off and they are still showing.

Did you turn off the avatar category? or the items individually?

Also when upgrading to v1.1.0.1a, did you upload the files again as one critical file had changed in this respect.

I wonder how do you view the logs for Bank Transactions and Donate Transaction?

Do you have the logging option enabled for each of these features in the eStore Options in the Admin CP? If so, they will show up in your history when you donate or use the bank.

I am trying to use teh 'gifts' feature. I buy a gift for another user, but it doesn't show on his postbit. How does this work?

Did you do the template edit? If so, try the admin CP option that says "Fix All Gift Postbits".

I turned it off a category... but it stll show for me in the store page,

This was fixed in v1.1.0.1a, make sure you reupload all of the files though.

It sorts like this when you view the top 30 or whatever richest list by clicking on the header for the Richest Users, I have to do a fix for it for the next release when it lists the top 10 though. Stay tuned for that fix in the next version.

Would be nice if that's how it showed in postbit too...as pocket plus bank points.

I could add another variable for $userinfo['totalpoints'] into a future release and then you could put it in the postbit as well. I'll do that in the next version.

LoL, that kind of defeats the purpose of putting it in their history then.

You could always do that now by going to Manage Options, select Change Others User Title, then change Log History to OFF, then it will not keep a history for that action.

[Ignignokt]

I'm not sure where to find this file, Is it in the admin CP? or the Hosting files?

They are two different TEMPLATES depending on whether you have your postbit above the post (postbit) or if you have your postbit beside your post (postbit_legacy), like vB2.

Complete the edits as mentioned in the readme.txt found in the zip

Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates (from dropdown) > Postbit Templates > postbit

Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates (from dropdown) > Postbit Templates > postbit_legacy


It sorts like this when you view the top 30 or whatever richest list by clicking on the header for the Richest Users, I have to do a fix for it for the next release when it lists the top 10 though. Stay tuned for that fix in the next version.


Thanks!

[lordofgun]

right..was just thinking of it for an individual thing to spend points on...just brainstorming here. ;)

And the total points in postbit will rock. :up:

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Thanks. It works. I wonder is it possible for admins to view logs for other members so we can track whether they abuse the system or not?

Not yet, but in a future version I'm going to have the system store a FULL history for each individual item purchased!

SO each and every transaction will be logged when I get time to add the History for "items" instead of the user history.

[kylek]

Did you upgrade to v1.1.0.1? There was a quick bugfix in regards to your problem.

Yup, have reuploaded 1.1.0.1.a and imported the product again, overwriting everything. have tried every setting I can think of but cannot get a category to not show when set to non active.

[lordofgun]

So I'm assuming we should have a user's ability to change their avatar and user title, etc. set to OFF if we want them to only be able to buy in the store?

upgraded from .9 to 1.1 and now i don't see anything when i go to the shop :(

Question: Using the Avatar system where you can buy a Custom Avatar, what is there to stop members just using their UserCP to add an Avatar? Or am i missing something, as Members can still do this on my Website.

Thx

I am still getting that it's not passing form value when this is installed. Is there anyway I can get a personal look at why it isn't?

Great! Will this work with the full version of RPG Inferno V2.4?

anyone having issues with the points calculating wrong?

With all the requests you have to go through, just wanted to say thanks. You've put in a lot of hard work.

[MustangLisa]

This is great, you've done an awesome job with all of it! THANK YOU.

I am still having a problem though with the postbit_legacy. All the gifts appear in the member's profile, but only one of each gift is appearing in the postbit. See attached example.

Any idea how I can fix this?

Thank you very much!

[mcyates]

None of my users can buy anything!!!! Even though all permission are corrent for each usergroup. This has only happened since the upgrade.

make sure your usergroup permissions are right :bunny:

This is the error they get:

I cans till buy stuff.

This option it selected to yes.
Can this group purchase eStore options at all?

[Sooner95]

I got a massive error today. And its onl affecting my account. If I clear cookies and go back to my board, and can get there, but as soon as I log in. I get this

(none) 69.205.XX.XXX /estore.php?do=expireoptions www.bulldogbbs.com

The IP, is my ip from my ISP, not the boards..which is odd.. Still using 1.09..and I guess I'll try an upgrade, but I didnt see anyone else have this error..

Sucks, I am the only admin on the board, so cant even get in to turn off the store..

[Sooner95]

ok, i can get into admincp, if i log inthere first... will upgradin to 1.11 fix this?

[Sooner95]

What i bought that expired was the Change Title Immunity thing.. it expired in 7 days, which must have been today..but then it cuased an error...

Ok, got in set up another account.. ect..

Turned off store.. but still get the error for the other accout. Not what i should do here, I could upgrade, but will that correct that account?

[bang]

is it possible to change estore.php to store.php somehow and still have things work? :)

[Ignignokt]

None of my users can buy anything!!!! Even though all permission are corrent for each usergroup. This has only happened since the upgrade.

Did you at any time, alter the "estore_main" template? If yes, REVERT!

Suggestions:
Ability for member to buy more total private messages
Ability for member to buy more storage on Photopost (this maybe tough to do)
Ability for member to create a usergroup
Ability to buy signature
Ability to change users signature

[Ohiosweetheart]

lol, so am I, I just love how CMX does everything so fast and listens to all of our suggestions ;)

ain't that the truth! Frankly I don't care how it "looks". This gentleman has put more time into this hack in a few days than those people have in months or more... and he actually LISTENS to suggestions. I'm stickin with this one all the way.

*donation sent*

[hydrostatic]

Alright I have a question:

One of my users just purchased 8000 "50 postcount" thingies and his money went to negative 2 million or something. My question is, if people can go into debt and still be able to purchase, then whats the point of giving them points? They can just buy whatever they want, as many times as they want :/ Or am I missing something? Please let me know. Thanks

[49er]

He should get the message that they do not have enough points to buy this item. ??? Thats what i see at my website. :speechless:

[Sooner95]

ok, I upgraded to 1.1.0.1a..

Now this is the error I get when logging into my board under the "sooner95" account.

The eStore option you are trying to purchase has an invalid Set Name.

I cannot navigate to any part of the board, this is the only thing it will do..

the url i get each time

http://www.bulldogbbs.com/forums/estore.php?do=expireoptions

thats it... Need some help here, as I'd like to figure out why it did this.

It happened from the Change title immunity thing, it expired as something in the table was not done correctly.

I tried changing the value in the user table for this account, but it did nothing.

thanks.

[Sooner95]

with my other account, that works just fine, now I get this error when going to store, at the top..

Warning: krsort() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given in /estore.php on line 516

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /estore.php on line 521

EDIT:

I only get this error the first time i go into the store.. was able to purchase a gift ect.. so its not stopping the store from working, but should be looked into..my other error is more important at the moment....

[lairnoc]

ok got a nice request if possible..

Is it possible to get a adminlog so the admin can see if someone is stealing a lot :)

[VMS]

How can I remove the Gift I received that I don't want? Anh how can I remove the gift or edit the message of the gift I sent to another user ? I have tried to find but did not see where I can do that. Anybody knows how to ? Thanks in advance for all the answers and have a great weekend. :-)

[kylek]

Wondering if it is possible to make this.

Would like to have a category that members could put points into that the admin would have a record of. We plan to have raffles, contests, arcade game high score contests, weekly Survivor booted person, etc, and would like to have it so a member who wants to enter a specific contest could submit for example 5 points and have it say 5 points submitted for pacman contest. Admin would need a record of the 5 points and member who gave it, then when contest is finished admin pays out the winner/s by using the donation that already exists.
Would be like vbookie but not so fancy, use regular forum for posts, odds, etc.

Any ideas greatfully accepted!

[mcyates]

This is weird.

All my staff (admins, super mods and mods) can enter and buy stuff from the store. But all my usergroups exept the newbie (which is the default registered group) can't access it.

This is happening EVER THOUGH i've added their usergroup numbder to the Allowed Usergroups of each item and selected yet in their respective usergroup options to say they can actually purchase estore items.

[docvader]

I can't believe I've read all 1189 posts...

Just wondering, as I will be installing this soon. With regards to the great concept of "theft and stealing", can you code a way that would cause repeat offenders (stealing unsuccessfully x number of times) to change usergroups (move to a banned "Jail" or "Dungeon" user group and separate forum area) for a defined period of time?

Just a thought. You've done a tremendous thing here these past two weeks. Impressive. Wish I could help.

Did you try running the 'Fix All Gift Postbits' in your eStore options?

http://www.domain.com/forum/admincp/estore.php?do=fixupgifts

If that doesn't work it may be a bug, i'll test on my board.

Edit: Yup you're right, it's either a bug, or just not a feature of the store :nervous:

[adielsh]

Is there possibility to delete gift?
if no can you add this option

CMX_CMGSCCC:

Are the hooks in your action files used by estore.php or is that just there for others coders to take advantage of?

edit: would it also be okay if I posted files I altered for new actions? (you can include it in the package if you like its really not a big hack).

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

So I'm assuming we should have a user's ability to change their avatar and user title, etc. set to OFF if we want them to only be able to buy in the store?

Yes, you would disable them from accessing it normally from vB's settings, these store actions override a couple permissions to allow them to upload a custom avatar.

I have teh following mysql errors after the upgrade:

Fixed in v1.1.1 to be released shortly.

SUGGESTION:

ex. Community total points 34,543,344 (All points combined)
Bank total points 634,543,344 (All points combined)

Could do that, but it would add a query to the main page as well. I guess I could make a setting for it on/off as well.

Question: Using the Avatar system where you can buy a Custom Avatar, what is there to stop members just using their UserCP to add an Avatar? Or am i missing something, as Members can still do this on my Website.

There's vB settings to disable them I think in the Usergroup settings to where they can not upload an avatar.

That's how its supposed to function since it only displays the top x gifts in the postbit, it avoids putting the gifts there twice.

Sounds like this should be created as an add on as there could be too many fields to worry about and it would need its own action file, I'll add something to my list to this effect, but I cant make any promises on when.

With regards to the great concept of "theft and stealing", can you code a way that would cause repeat offenders (stealing unsuccessfully x number of times) to change usergroups (move to a banned "Jail" or "Dungeon" user group and separate forum area) for a defined period of time?

Just a thought. You've done a tremendous thing here these past two weeks. Impressive. Wish I could help.

Anything is possible with Thief because it has its own action file, I have a few more things more important to work on at the moment, but I've added this idea to the list todo.

Did you try running the 'Fix All Gift Postbits' in your eStore options?

http://www.domain.com/forum/admincp/estore.php?do=fixupgifts

If that doesn't work it may be a bug, i'll test on my board.

Edit: Yup you're right, it's either a bug, or just not a feature of the store :nervous:

That's how the gifts are supposed to function in the postbit, so it wont show 20 of the same gift in the postbit and nothing else.

Is there possibility to delete gift?
if no can you add this option

There will be an option added later.

NOTE: If you are using the Points Per Birthday feature, you should ensure that users can't go in and change thier birthday.

That will be something I'm going to incorporate soon, it will save a time when the user last received their "birthday bonus", and it will not allow them to receive another one without like 11 months or so time passing.

Kylek: I'll take a look later and see.

CMX_CMGSCCC:

Are the hooks in your action files used by estore.php or is that just there for others coders to take advantage of?

edit: would it also be okay if I posted files I altered for new actions? (you can include it in the package if you like its really not a big hack).

The hooks are there for other coders to make addons/hacks for this. Just like the hooks are there in vBulletin in the first place. The coders out there can customize various actions if they want by using them :)

If you post alter files for new actions, you should probably post it as an "Addon" like the Ribbons hack thats attached here as well.

Since it is greyed out, it mean's you did not alter it and it won't need to be reverted.

any idea about the error i'm getting in post 1202? thanks.

A small one if you want to show the amount in people's banks and their total points in the postbit and memberinfo.

Fixed in v1.1.1.1 (small typo oops heh)

If you updated to v1.1.1, you must update to v1.1.1.1 to fix the changeaways typo.

Excellence in programming !!!!

[lordofgun]

Just had a store idea. Searching forums costs x points. This could help reduce server loads, but still allow posters who actually post to search.

[Ignignokt]

Thanks for the changes in the richest members area.

Is there an option we need to enable to see the cash balance of the economy?

[memorex]

Just upgraded and now have no items in the store.

Either clear your cache or rebuild datastore. I did both of those and fixed my version of the problem.

I'm sorry to be such a noob, but how do you do that?

[Retell]

I just have to say that this 1.1.1.1 made a big difference and fixed my board, tnx CMX! :)

[lordofgun]

Is the usergroup discount rate a percentage or just a flat amount off?

[memorex]

Ok, I fixxed it by going into one of the items and hitting save, it updated all the other store items, in case anyone else has the same issue.

Awesome addition to anyones forums.

Thanx CMX

[Roxie]

Looks like it's a flat rate? Should be a percentage though I think.

[Ignignokt]

For those interested, you enable the displaying of economy points in eBux settings, not eStore settings. I was looking in the wrong place :)

[lordofgun]

Also, I can't find where you can turn off a usergroup's ability to use a default avatar in the regular VBulletin settings. Any help would be great.

EDIT: NM...think I found it under the avatar dropdown menu. DOH.

[lordofgun]

One other typo I think I found...correct me if I'm wrong.

In Store settings:

Points Per Posted Character Multiplier?

This isn't actually a multiplier is it?

[caimakale]

Depends on how you look at it. You may be adding each character up individually. The script will add all of the characters first and then multiply it by this number.

[MorrisMcD]

Yes.. The value you get is in the forums manager set PER forum.. I set those all to the same and then left the multipliers at 1.. Its a bit confusing why those multipliers should even be there...

Its a +++++ to admin too if you have a lot of forums :)

[Oddjob]

any progress on getting this to work with v3arcade yet?

[caimakale]

any progress on getting this to work with v3arcade yet?
He is waiting on the coders of v3arcade to add some hooks so he can get it to work. It appears John (the coder of v3arcade) is back at work, he has shown back up on his forums and is working on a new release.

We will all have to sit tight and see if it pans out.

[BeatificFaith]

Hi, this isn't really necessary and I can change it myself when needed but I do have one minor suggestion.

On the plugin for the postbit display, would it be possible to change the div to a span? I ask because I have an image beside the username and when it displays with the div, the div causes a block causing the image to move below the username instead of right next to it as the span would display.

[Gunshot]

One of the few things I enjoyed about phpbb before we made the move to vbull was the cash system had an integrated lottery

it was very popular with the members

any chance?

we also had a signature store setup

[Ignignokt]

Ok. I've got a problem I just can't figure out. Points are not being given out for Threads/Replies any more. I changed the mass forum settings to 10/5 respectively. In eBux I have the multipliers set to 1. When I create a thread/reply, the only points credited are for characters.

Any help?

[Stangsta]

One thing to concider, As many changes as you make (almost daily :) ) you might want to make a seperate changelog and add it to the hack. This way, people dont have to scroll forever in the thread. Just a thought.

Or if you don't like scrolling, you can collapse the block. He does post the version number in the thread title so having that block collapsed until a new version comes out should take care of the problem.

I am having this problem too. I am pretty sure I have checked all of my settings too. It might be a bug.

There is no option to buy anything. The store is open, but you can't click anything inside the categories.

Item Name: Increases your post count by 25.
Cost: 10000
Quantity: 50

No links. No item name. Nothing. >_>


Also- when it's closed... shows the same thing.

If you modified the estore_main template before 1.0.9, revert it.

[evenmonkeys]

Haven't modified anything.

[Gunshot]

did you try rebuilding the datastore?

[evenmonkeys]

Yep- did that too.

[dai-kun]

I bought the colored username and typed in "red" but my username doesn't change color?

[StarBuG]

Same problem here

No items at all

I have upgraded from 1.0.9 to 1.1.1.1
I have uploaded all files then imported the product with overwrite enabled.
I then noticed that all items are missing in the store.
I have "reverted" the estore_main template even though i never changed it

but nothing.
There are no options inside any category!

Please help

I just wanna thank you for all the hard work you put into this hack!!!


A lot of time must be spend for it i guess.


Thanx a lot

I had this problem too. If you put 0 for the character value in the ebux settings, then the points are given for the thread/replies as set in the forums.

Looks like the bug is that you can't use both for now.

Hope that helps!

==========

Also I agree!!! This store is AWESOME!!!!!! Thank you for all your hard work CMX!

==========

Ok, the bugs I found were these:

1. When turning off a catagory, the 'quick menu' drop downs don't save. I had to go into each catagory and turn them off one by one.

2. When setting the quantity for each item, the 'quick box' inputs don't save. I had to go into each option and set the quantity one by one.

Hope that helps too!

[Skyline_GT]

I have a suggestion.

I wonder is it possible like admins can give points to posts that they thing are good quality post. For example, staff can give a max of five thumbs up or five thumbs down and each thumb represent 10 points for example and it will show the images on the top of the postbit. I think this will enourage people to make good quality posts.

CMX i have the option to block a member from a forum made available for moderators and not fot members but when a moderator buys this the blocked member can post and reply in that forum. How to do this correctly?

[Sooner95]

Hey CMX.. upgraded to 1.1.1.1 and I still have this expire option problem on my one account. Still get the same error and cannot use the account at all.

I rebiult the datastore, and cleared the history and the changes thing.

Haven't modified anything.

revert the estore_main template anyways to fix your problem.

I bought the colored username and typed in "red" but my username doesn't change color?

I've noticed this only works with internet explorer so if you are using firefox you won't see the names glowing. I don't know if there is a plugin for firefox to fix this or not.
