Any idea how I can fix this?

Thank you very much!


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.
-CMX

Is there anyway I can change this so it displays all gifts (even duplicate images, since they may be from different members), up to the limit set in admin of course (default is 20)?

[FROGGYJ]

I think I found an issue with v1.1.1.1. When you go into manage category and say you change a category to "no" for whether it's active and then save your changes....it doesn't actually save for some reason. Anyone else notice this?

[moonclamp]

Suggestion ... Would be good if there was some way of checking the colour that is typed into the colour/glow username/title box.

If someone makes a spelling mistake or doesn't understand HTML colours they'll lose the effect.

[EasyTarget]

you said these were trivial, but I'm not sure what you mean by that.. like easy to do but they wouldn't add much to the hack?

seems like they'd be hard to add, but I'm not a coder so I have no idea.
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.

[Brandon Sheley]

can I make a request...

can you add somewhere where we can set all the usergroups in on click ? then if there are some options we don't want a group to have we can go in and edit the groups per item ??

I'm kinda getting tired of after each update having to go thu each option and reset all my usergroups :(

other then that, I love it :D


-Loco.m

*p.s. when i try and thread options i get this message, and I'm admin so I know i have the option to do any of this

The thread you are trying to close is in a forum that you are unable to close threads in.

p.p.s. - I've seen this posted in this thread before, but if I make my admin group in usergroups a color like <font color="red"> </font> then if they go to the shop,, and buy change name color.. nothing changes ? I've double checked all usergroup options for the shop, but this still gets overridded,, any ideas on what i need to check ?

[Kajouka]

I think I found an issue with v1.1.1.1. When you go into manage category and say you change a category to "no" for whether it's active and then save your changes....it doesn't actually save for some reason. Anyone else notice this?


For now you can edit each catagory you want to turn off and save it that way (one by one).

[docvader]

Haven't seen this, or maybe I missed it, but if you're using set colors for different user groups, can you turn off the "change user name color" option, without turning off that entire category? Just curious. Have not installed yet.

[lordofgun]

yes.

[allwirelesstalk]

Where do I need to go to not allow people to change their member name certain colors? I dont want them to beable to buy red, gold, or purple (Admin and such)

THANKS!!!

[eNforce]

For the gifts in the postbit; would it be possible for when you mouse over the gifts it will show the message left when you recieved the gift? :}

[Impreza04]

Im just gonna leave this here, with the amount of feature requests here I won;t be surprised if its missed..

Is it possible when buying an item, you don;t have enough money in hand to buy it, but there is enough in the users bank to give an option to take that money from the bank?

Thanks CMX, Awesome hack and top notch work on it :)

[influence]

why are the release versions being numbered like that? 1.1.1.1 instead of umm 1.2? next is 1.1.1.1.1? nothing important, just something I notice. Thats quite unique and funny.

btw, thanks for the fixes cmx.. always keeping us up to date and I am glade that I ended up using this store instead of ushop. I think the developers abandon it because I haven't seen no updates for it for awhile and people having problems with bugs all over it.

[Retell]

I would like the option to have like a usergroup joint acount, so if all the mods wanted to change somones title or ban somone etc...

[JsnakeJ]

Someone should make this work with vBookie.

Edit: Nevermind, I should of used search.

[FROGGYJ]

For now you can edit each catagory you want to turn off and save it that way (one by one).

I know but what I'm saying is when I set an individual category to not active and then save it.....it says saved successful, but when I go back it's still showing yes for active.

[Kajouka]

I know but what I'm saying is when I set an individual category to not active and then save it.....it says saved successful, but when I go back it's still showing yes for active.


Yeah I know. I posted about that a few pages back. I was just saying there is still a way to turn the catagory inactive, it just takes longer because you have to do it one by one instead of using the nice quick drop down menu way. I wasn't sure if you knew that.

Thanks!

[caimakale]

I am also able to purchase the Postcount Plus 50 without enough points on my site. This creates a problem because it puts you in the negative. When you have negative points, you can't go to the bank or do anything but continue buying 50 more post counts.

[JsnakeJ]

Disable it then.

[Evil X]

how can I make it so people can buy something more than 1 time, and it be displayed in thier sig more than once??

[The Chief]

Would there be a way to add Usergroups by only editing one field and it will do it for every field, cause, it REALLY gets long when you have custom usergroups that you have to do for every option...

it would be great and even easier to use ;)

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

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.

LoL, that would be a funny idea yet. I'll add it to the list todo.

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?

Yes, it should be the very last setting in the eBux Settings.

Just upgraded and now have no items in the store.

The datastore is new to this because it saves 2 queries when going to the estore.php file all of the time. So if you have no items, goto Rebuild Datastore, then refresh the eStore main page.

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

It's a percentage.

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

In Store settings:



This isn't actually a multiplier is it?

Well, kind of. Whatever number you put in there gets multiplied by the number of characters in the post. So if you put a 1 and there are 100 characters in the post, the user would get 100 points.

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.

Thats ok as long as you dont want the GLOW feature to work... Because the glow needs a DIV and not a SPAN, it needs the style "display: block;" to work properly.

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

Lottery is coming in v1.1.2 that should be released tonight.

And what do you mean by signature store setup? To purchase a signature? If so, thats a future feature I'm working on as well.

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?

I've tested this again in v1.1.2, I dont have the old version installed anymore, so maybe it was fixed in the new version.

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

Reupload all of the files, then goto the Admin CP and click on Rebuild Datastore, then goto the eStore Main page and press Refresh, that should fix it.

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!

~ Kaj

These bugs are fixed in v1.1.2.

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.

It might be possible by adding another field to the thread database for "extrapoints". I'll put it on the list of todo.

I've just installed v1.1.1.1 and when I go to use the eStore Action - Mass Forums Settings, I get this error. Any ideas?

I dont how this error could occur, I'm using v1.1.2 at the moment, and it didnt give an error for me, wonder why. The only way it could fail is if you did not enter a numeric value for all 3 of the fields. In any case, I put a check there to verify it can update some settings.

Please see my Modification Request:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=107768

Unfortunately this is an entire hack by itself like its an RPG.

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?

Not sure I understand, can u send me a PM with more details?

CMX - someone on my board came up with a really interesting idea - a Return on Investment of sorts when you start a new thread.... for every reply you get, you earn a point. What do you think?

Right now the thread creator gets points when someone views their thread, giving them points when someone replies too is overkill I think.

There was a field named wrong in the XML before, try to reimport the new XML product sheet, if not, wait until v1.1.2

Suggestion ... Would be good if there was some way of checking the colour that is typed into the colour/glow username/title box.

If someone makes a spelling mistake or doesn't understand HTML colours they'll lose the effect.

Since v1.1.1.1, you can enable a new option setting called "Can Always Change." This way the user can change the color WITHOUT rebuying the thing. If you enable this setting, you can goto the option again in the store and it will have 2 parts, the first one will ask for the color again, it should show that it costs no points to change it. And removing it is underneath it.

you said these were trivial, but I'm not sure what you mean by that.. like easy to do but they wouldn't add much to the hack?

seems like they'd be hard to add, but I'm not a coder so I have no idea.

It means its more time involved than I really want to put into thief. Perhaps someone with more time can 'adapt' it to be more involved.

I've double checked all usergroup options for the shop, but this still gets overridded,, any ideas on what i need to check ?

I'll see about adding something like this in the future. The namecolors uses the HTML command <FONT COLOR="blah"> it should work in all web browers, view the HTML source and search for the username and see if its showing the proper HTML.

Haven't seen this, or maybe I missed it, but if you're using set colors for different user groups, can you turn off the "change user name color" option, without turning off that entire category? Just curious. Have not installed yet.

Each item itself has an option to be "Active" or "Show in Store". If you enable Active, it will be able to be used. If its not Active, then show in store doesnt do anything either. You can make it Active and not shown in the store as well and then your admins would have to know the URL to goto for that option.

Where do I need to go to not allow people to change their member name certain colors? I dont want them to beable to buy red, gold, or purple (Admin and such)

THANKS!!!

This feature is useless because they could just use an RGB HTML color that is SO close to your admin colors, nobody would be able to tell the difference. Like if you used Red, #FF0000, they could use #FF0001 or #FF0100 or #FF0101 and nobody would be able to tell the difference anyways.

For the gifts in the postbit; would it be possible for when you mouse over the gifts it will show the message left when you recieved the gift? :}

Probably, but the other hacks that do this CACHE all of the gifts out of the database, which is overkill, if u have a board that has 3000 gifts in the database, it would start loading much slower over time.

Im just gonna leave this here, with the amount of feature requests here I won;t be surprised if its missed..

Is it possible when buying an item, you don;t have enough money in hand to buy it, but there is enough in the users bank to give an option to take that money from the bank?

Thanks CMX, Awesome hack and top notch work on it :)

Believe it or not, I've already thought of this feature and I'm working on an idea to implement it in the future.

why are the release versions being numbered like that? 1.1.1.1 instead of umm 1.2? next is 1.1.1.1.1? nothing important, just something I notice. Thats quite unique and funny.

They are not, v1.1.1 came out. It had a minor bug in it, I needed to increase the version number so it could rerun the <Installcode> inside of the Product XML file, so I tacked on a 1 to it since it was just a bugfix with nothing new featurewise.

I would like the option to have like a usergroup joint acount, so if all the mods wanted to change somones title or ban somone etc...

What exactly do u mean? Like change EVERYONE's user title in 1 go? LoL that would be a bit overkill, cant you just change the default usertitle for their usergroup in vB's settings already?

I am also able to purchase the Postcount Plus 50 without enough points on my site. This creates a problem because it puts you in the negative. When you have negative points, you can't go to the bank or do anything but continue buying 50 more post counts.

I'll look into this as this is a pretty serious bug.

Yeah, I just need to think of a way to do this, I would also like to make the usergroups show the actual names instead of the 2,5,6,7 stuff and have it list out each of the usergroup options and you just put a check next to the ones you want.

[Baudman]

One question about the thief option. My users love this option in the shop mods. I don't have a shop mod installed yet(one that works good anyway)lol Heres my question. When a user fails to steal does his points get taken away and added to the user he targeted? The old uShop did this and its a function I would like to have.

Looks like a great hack and I'll be trying it out tonight.

eStore has two options for thief. You can choose between having the money go to the person the thief was trying to steal from, or the money can just go into oblivion and nobody get its. Either way, if somebody try's to thief and fails, they lose the money. It's up to you as the admin to determine where it goes.

[caimakale]

A question on paychecks. Does a user receive a paycheck from each usergroup he is part of or do they only get issued based on their primary usergroup?

[ZGeek]

Thanks man.. I think its a bug. If I leave the values at 0 for the mass forum setting, it gives me an error. If I put in a value as you said, it works. But I want to set all my forum values to 0 :P

Awesome hack btw.

[JsnakeJ]

HOTM for sure. Suprising how something coded in a shorter ammount of time is better than a long project like uShop. Great job with this man.

[lordofgun]

I dunno about the points per reply to your thread being overkill. Would be nice to have the option.

GREAT job as always, CMX.

One more question I have is when someone buys the thief imunity can it be set so thieves can't pay for it? Or if a member who has is decides to steal he will lose it?

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

v1.1.2 should allow values of all 0's now.

Yeah, if that option was done, then someone would want an option to get points for refreshing threads all day to themself too! lol

Probably could add into it if they attempt to steal they lose their own immunity by default fairly easily.

BTW: v1.1.2 is out with the Infamous Lottery, its a new system, start testing the Lottery!

how come it doesnt show?

and will i be able to use vbookie with this hack..

great work btw ur really busting ur ass to make this hack even hotter

[MissKalunji]

another question................How does the lottery works? how does it pick winners?

[caimakale]

I am able to purchase a lottery ticket with no money in my account. Then it puts me into a negative restricting access to the bank. It happens because the initial cost of the lottery is 0.00 and it gives access to anybody. I don't think it checks the price after you select the lottery you want to purchase in the drop down box. It allows you to continue to the next page to make the actual purchase, this is where the check should occur to prevent it from letting you get to the page to make the final purchase.

[Ignignokt]

How does the lottery work? If only one person enters the lottery, will he/she automatically be the winner?

[MissKalunji]

here's another idea

you see when you thief money and it succeed the person who you thiefed from should receive an e-mail like this

(my friend was pulling a prank on me)

[evenmonkeys]

Just upgraded. I am still not getting an option to purchase anything. It shows the description under the item name. No links. It's all very confusing. I have not modified any templates.

Well it was a ucash option at one point. Not sure if it still is. :D

EDIT: But I'd much rather have unlimited repping ability, immunity from neg reps, ability to double rep power for a period of time, etc. I think the reputation thing could be a great new category. :D

[evenmonkeys]

Are you not seeing any of the buttons? Those are what you click on to get into a category and an item.

I can get into the categories. There is a link for each category. I click on that and then it takes me to a bunch of rows. There are descriptions, but there aren't any item names, or links.

[eNforce]

After removing gifts from a member they still display inside their profile :pirate:

[JsnakeJ]

How would I go about adding my own new images as gifts?

[eNforce]

Create the image and upload it to forum\images\gifts, that's it

Got it right before I figured it out :)

[caimakale]

After removing gifts from a member they still display inside their profile :pirate:
They are stored twice in the database, once in estore_gifts and again in the user table. The postbit pulls the info from the user table, the memberinfo area pulls from the estore_gifts table. You have to clear both of these areas.

[MissKalunji]

another idea :)

Tavern/Bar shop... Lets users purchase various drinks (set in the AdminCP) to get them drunk. Scrambles/slurrs post text to give a drunk affect and adds to their rank "Drunk"

[redtailboa]

These were already reported, but I am going to also confirm this on my forum:

Interest is showing this: Next Bank Interest: 01-01-1970, 12:00 AM

Users can buy lottery tickets even if they don't have enough money. If they do this, they go into the negative point range.

another idea :)

Tavern/Bar shop... Lets users purchase various drinks (set in the AdminCP) to get them drunk. Scrambles/slurrs post text to give a drunk affect and adds to their rank "Drunk"

Wow now this would be very cool, but would probably require some pretty major coding to do. If this is pulled off, CMX will be the VB hack god of earth ;)

[caimakale]

I can get into the categories. There is a link for each category. I click on that and then it takes me to a bunch of rows. There are descriptions, but there aren't any item names, or links.
PM me your url and let me take a quick look.

WOW!!! Thats a Brilliant idea, best idea I seen so far, this should be included in the next RELEASE, all my users will be DRUNK, for some reason, people like to brag about being DRUNK.

Drunk Drunk Drunk! :devious:

[caimakale]

These were already reported, but I am going to also confirm this on my forum:

Interest is showing this: Next Bank Interest: 01-01-1970, 12:00 AM

Users can buy lottery tickets even if they don't have enough money. If they do this, they go into the negative point range.
I had to click on "Reset All Bank Intervals" in AdminCP >> eBux Options to get the interest date to start working.

I think my problem is occuring because the images are PNGs. =D

Or because it's not pulling the correct path. Are you getting the images to pull up in the categories? Or is it just the category name that is a link you are following?

[MorrisMcD]

Do the purchases of lottery tickets go INTO the jackpot...

Example.. I would like to set the jackpot to 0... Then as people buy tickets, it goes into the jackpot.. Is that how this works?

[JsnakeJ]

Am I able to unintegrate from ucash? Did it by accident.

[caimakale]

I think my problem is occuring because the images are PNGs. =D
Just from looking at your site, initially I would say it is going to have a hard time pulling the image. You will probably need to enter in the full url to the image in the Manage Options area for each item in your AdminCP.

I hate when ppl bump stuff early, but I bet you, caimakale, know the answer to this ;) and I just want to enable it now!! :)

If it doesnt work how I explained, I would like to request it... No rush, but knowing you it would be so in the next release... Hopefully you are recieving many donations... This hack should be a pay hack.. And better support than vB themselves (which really isnt all that great actually)

From my initial tests, it does not add the ticket amount to the lottery total. You set the amount of the lottery, and the amount each ticket will cost. But no, the ticket cost doesn't end up in the jackpot.

Also in my initial tests, I have the dollar amount set to 100 ebux, but for some reason, it is only charging 86 ebux or something like that. I don't think I have any discounts set either, guess I need to check.

Dont forget the new loyal member and senior discounts.. 8% is default for loyal member and that would be 96.. So you may want to check that.. Maybe I will enable this anyway.. But I still wonder how easy it would be to change this or if anyone else would prefer it that way as well.. If most people like it this way more, I will deal with it and be happy.

This hack just continues to get better.. Still super excited in seeing the federal bank implementation as well as the Arcade.

[caimakale]

Ok, well then that explains it. I was getting the loyal member and senior discount, which brings up another bug.

This is giving anybody without their birth year set the senior discount. I have my birth month and day set, but not the year and it is giving me the senior discount. I don't require the birth year on my site.

The weird number was throwing me for a loop. I couldn't figure it out.

Thanks for pointing that out.. That will be an easy fix.. But for now I will turn off senior discount as a lot of my members dont have their birthdate set.

I was kinda wondering why you would have been receiving the senior discount.. You dont seem 55ish.. lol

[inspiration100]

Whatever it was, I just installed it today. Newest version :squareeyed:.
http://www.webmastersdatabase.com/estore/action.bank.php
Whats the exact error? Are you on version 1.1.2?
Also, does this have a feature to add files for download? Say I got a zip program and I want to add it to be purchased via the store, how is this done?

[StarBuG]

Reupload all of the files, then goto the Admin CP and click on Rebuild Datastore, then goto the eStore Main page and press Refresh, that should fix it.


It did not fix it!!

I uploaded all files from 1.1.2, then rebuild datastore, on the eStore Main Page I hit Ctrl + F5
Still all Categories are EMPTY

PLEASE HELP

This thread grows so fast, maybe I missed them, what was it.

-CMX

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 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

[kylek]

Man I love this guy - busts his butt to help all and keeps coming up with additional goodies, updates, and surprises.

Like todays update - several items added and fixed, then later in a post - oh by the way the Lottery was released!

OK a couple of things. You can set which forums you want people to sticky in. You have to go to your AdminCP >> Forums & Moderators section and set this in each and every forum you have. Along with several other options like you mentioned, this is how you set them.

As far the pager hack, you won't find any help in here on getting it fixed. This thread is for the store. Go to the thread where the pager was released, I know for a fact that the author of it is good about giving support.

My richest member shows the money in the bank + the money in pocket. If you go to the actual richest member page, it shows both of these seperated, and then the final total.

When you reinstall a new version, are you just uploading the files? Are you uploading and reimporting the product.xml?

[inspiration100]

Can you sell zip files in the store? How would you add it?

That does take the most time. Not only do you have the two eBux and eStore options, but you have to set options in the Usergroups menu and the Forums & Moderators Menu.

Did I miss anything? ;)

[Geser]

What are you trying to remove?

"Bold User Title" or "Colored User Title"

[Geser]

Also "Colored User Title" set as "Always Change Item", but when i click on "Colored User Title" i see only "Remove" option and don't see option to change color

I have about ten categories, and, oh, 140 "forums", with a few extra user groups. Am I going to have to set options for each one of these forum areas individually, or will the permissions follow the parent category forum? Just wondering what this is going to be like to configure.

Gonna do it one day!

[NuclioN]

I'm stucked with the 'deny' and 'give' forum access options. These options are set to be available for staffmembers only to block access to one of their forums in a category. But when a moderator block access for a member, this member can visit, post and reply as usual. What's wrong?

[JsnakeJ]

Am I able to unintegrate from ucash? Did it by accident.

Hmm... Any help? :disappointed:

Total Points is reqiuring me to go into AdminCP and integrate with uCash every time someone gets points. Points are only going to the regular total and not the Total Points total.

I really don't feel like completly redoing my option settings as I had to reset all of them. If I disable uCash then you don't get points. This seems like the only bugged part to me. I would like a way to undo this, if its posible.

[lairnoc]

hmmm maybe i do something wrong, but with Firefox the glow username and username color don't work under IE np..

anyone got idea's of how to solve this?

[Sooner95]

Not sure why my error is being ignored . Gonna upgrade to 1.1.2 now and see if that fixes it.

3) Bugfix: Fixed a potential problem with some expiring options that it does not know how to handle.

That account is still disabled becuase of the expire option not working properly. Wouldnt be a big deal, but it was the ! account, main admin account, and now have disabled all immunity things in the store. Last thing I need is more accounts to be disabled.

[Stormwolf]

Is there a way for an admin to view every transaction made in the store or to get it to pm a specific usergroup when a transaction is made?

We are using this to sell forum items and items in our gaming world. It would greatly help the person who delivers the items sold on the forum to the people in game if there was either a pm made to all admins when somebody buys something or a web accessable log of every transaction made in the store.

[Sooner95]

Ok, completed upgrade to 1.1.2

Error still exists on that account. See screenshot.

I cannot do anything with that account. No matter what I click, it just gives me that page.

[MorrisMcD]

Sooner, that happened to me a few versions back to the point I couldn't even get into the site. So I used another admin account I had made a long time ago and uninstalled the store. That took care of that and then I just installed it again and so far it has been working fine.

Yea, I have created myself a new Admin account, and just downgraded the other one, but i'm afriad to enable the Options that expire cuz I dont want it to happen again.

[Steelersfan]

I went back the the version before the one that gave me trouble then waited for the next upgrade. Seems to be working good right now but I have not upgraded to 1.1.2 yet.

[jojo77]

Is this better than the new UStore hack or not?

[caimakale]

"Bold User Title" or "Colored User Title"
The reason it's telling you that you need money even though you want to remove it, is because techincally it's still for sale. You can go back in and change the color. The check to see if you have enough money happens before you get to the checkout page as opposed to when you actually check out.

[caimakale]

I have about ten categories, and, oh, 140 "forums", with a few extra user groups. Am I going to have to set options for each one of these forum areas individually, or will the permissions follow the parent category forum? Just wondering what this is going to be like to configure.

Gonna do it one day!
I am not sure if it inherits the permissions or not. If the majority of your forums and usergroups will have the same permissions, you could always create an sql string and run it to set all of them in one quick swoop. Or even better than that, you could go through the xml file and set the defaults in the xml, that way when you install, you will already have them all set. This is a good idea if you have alot of usergroupsand and if you want the majority of your forums to have the same permissions. It would be easier than changing 140 forums.

However, this method isn't for people who don't know how to do it. You can seriously screw things if you don't know what you are doing.

I don't follow you. When you integrate with uShop, you are only copying he points in the uShop column to the eBux column. There is no actual integration that occurs. After you have done it once, all of your users points from uShop should now be in eStore and you can just leave that setting alone. I even went as far as going in my database after that and deleting all of the utt, ucash, ushop fields I could find. Did you change the table name to conform with vbookie or something?

[caimakale]

hmmm maybe i do something wrong, but with Firefox the glow username and username color don't work under IE np..

Color should work fine, but glow won't work in firefox. I use firefox and the colored username shows up just fine.

[Deimos]

Is this better than the new UStore hack or not?

It's down to personal preference I guess
Personally, i've installed this hack the day it came out, so can't really switch to another one
I love it, as do my users.

[caimakale]

Is this better than the new UStore hack or not?
In my opinion, it is much better. Support is great, there are many more options, plus it has a built in lottery system.

ok thx. Think I am going to write this one off as, shithappens. No worries, corrupt account will just be removed, and create another ect..

Still afriad to try the immunity hacks again, so I'll prob create another test account and doit that way, see if that has been fixed.

Make sure that the corrupt account that you are removing isn't userid 1 unless you have it set differently in your /includes/config.php file. Did you check the database and clear the other flags area of the user table? I think that's where expiration info is stored. I could be wrong as I am not on my laptop with all of the files so I can't check at this point.

[amykhar]

Sooner, don't zap the account. Send me the login info for the forums and your phpmyadmin and I'll try to fix it for you. It's the least I can do for an active member of EA :)

Thanks for any help

Discount Rate, say you set it to 5.000 percent, then for whatever that Usergroup buys, it will take 5% off.

Paycheck, like for Mods, you set this to 10000, then every 2 weeks (default, this can be changed too) they will receive 10,000 points.

Hope this helps

Is it cause its already been done?
If so... My Vbookie cash is still a seperate cash system, I was expecting it to
add all the vbookie cash to the ebux, no?

Change the eBux field to ucash and then run the following SQL code:

Yes if you run the query a second time you will get that error because there is no longer an ebux field.
If so... My Vbookie cash is still a seperate cash system, I was expecting it to add all the vbookie cash to the ebux, no?
You also need to go into the vbookie settings and enable ucash.

In the time active box, it has 604800, I assume means the lotto is up for 1 week?

[Frugal]

Should there still be Vbookie cash and ebux showing in the postbit?

You also need to make sure your template edit is for ebux not vbookie, the vbookie postbit template edit only shows vbookies own money vCash.

In the postbit after

$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]

You should have
<br />
<a href="estore.php?do=donate&amp;userid=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[ebux_points]</a>: $post[points]<br />
$vbphrase[ebux_bank]: $post[bank]<br />
$vbphrase[ebux_total_points]: $post[totalpoints]<br />

You should not have
<if condition="$vboptions['vbookiecashon']">
<br />vCash: $post[vbookie_cash]
</if>

Providing ebux is set to use the field ucash, the query has been run to change the ebux field to ucash, vbookie has been set to use ucash, and the postbit has the ebux changes and not the vbookie changes, all should work.

Well there must be some error with my eBux then. When I don't use uCash it gives out no points to my users yet the forums settings are set to multiply 1 times x for replys yet it gives them no points.

[caimakale]

oh.. lol

Request:

Can this be set up another way then? hehe.


I am having no luck with settign this..

Its based on seconds, like how many seconds till the end of the lotto?

I put in 302400, which is 1 week. But i get this date

Lottery Ends Approximately: 01-04-70, 07:00 AM

In the time active box, it has 604800, I assume means the lotto is up for 1 week?

Maybe i am just doing it wrong.
Its the unix time stamp. Basically in a nutshell it's the amount of seconds since 1/1/1970 and is a standard that is used when coding.

There is a simple conversion utility here. http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm Just punch in the date and time you want and it will spit out the unix time stamp.

Did you upgrade to 1.1.2 yet? There was a bug that should have been fixed in the new version. I will double check on my site to see if it was.

It is all fixed on my site. Now when they post, not only do they get points per character, but they also get points for starting the thread and replying to it. Works as designed.

Change the eBux field to ucash and then run the following SQL code:


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

Now I'm confused, :)
If you have ucash, and you want to install ebux, I thought ebux was going to take the amount of points that already existed in the ucash tables, and put them into new ebux tables.

With that said, if you're also using vbookie, we now should keep the ucash tables, and not use the ebux system? Doesn't that interfere with the new estore hack?

Wouldn't it be "safer" to take the ucash points, put them into ebux, and then get rid of ucash, and change the vbookie hack to use the ebux tables?

I think, LOL. Now I'm lost! Glad you guys understand this. :speechless:

[Frugal]

Ok as it still keeps coming up and my original instructions are buried about 50 pages back here is a complete guide to making vbookie work with ebux. Section 1 assumes vbookie is already installed and ucash is not installed. If ucash is already installed go straight to section 2.

Maybe CMX can add this to the readme as it is such a common question.

Section 1 (vbbokie installed ucash not installed)
Ok here is how to integrate ebux and vbookie without having to edit the vbookie files.

Install eBux as per the readme.

Search for and remove the following if it exists in postbit and postbit_legacy templates

<if condition="$vboptions['vbookiecashon']">
<br />vCash: $post[vbookie_cash]
</if>


At this point you have 2 options which I will highlight bold and green, the bold option is for advanced users who are comfortable with running sql queries, if this does not describe you skip past this onto the green section. Once past the chosen section continue the normal text instructions.

Go to ACP >> Maintenance >> Execute SQL Query


Execute the following query


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


Go to AdminCP >> eBux Options >> Manage Settings and change Points Field Name to ucash (this option should be just over half way down the list.)



If you used the bold option skip past this green text. If you didn't feel comfortable messing with the sql then open /includes/functions_vbookie.php change all instances of ucash to eBux BEING CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE ANY instance of vbookieucash. Remember to make these changes anytime a new version of vbookie is released.


Then go to ACP >> vBulletin Option >> vBookie Settings and set Enable uCash to yes

eBux and vBookie will now work together.

Section 2 ucash is already installed.

First remove ucash and vbookie edits to the postbit and postbit_legacy templates (or simply revert them if ucash and vbookie are your only postbit changes you have made).

Install eBux as per the readme

Go to AdminCP >> eBux Options >> uCash Integration >>click process

Go to AdminCP >> eBux Options >> Manage Settings and change Points Field Name to ucash (this option should be just over half way down the list.)

Go to the ucash settings and turn ucash off (don't uninstall it as this will remove the ucash field from the databse). If you really want to uninstall it you can but after you uninstall ucash you will need to run the SQL query mentioned in the bold section or make the file edits in the green section. If you don't uninstall ucash there is no need to run the query or edit the files.

(If you haven't installed vbookie yet you can install it now but don't do the postbit edits)

Then go to ACP >> vBulletin Option >> vBookie Settings and set Enable uCash to yes

eBux and vBookie will now work together

Hope this helps, although I fear at the speed this thread moves this post will be buried within 48 hours.

Regarding vbookie integration:

Apparently this does not work, that was my initial suggestion for people that didn't want to run the query, not tried myself but the person that did try reported that the result was vbookie complained that ucash was not installed when the ucash integration option was chosen.

Personally I'm guessing that is because both vbookieucash and ucash were changed. I suspect that if you leave vbookieucash untouched and only change ucash to eBux it should work. But on the other hand 1 query is far easier than selectively changing multiple instances of ucash in the functions_vbookie.php then reuploading it. Remember a straight "find and replace all" will get both vbookieucash and ucash so you have to selectivey replace them.

The version listed in my earlier post is far longer to explain than to do and really if ucash is not installed it comes down to 1 query and you get a seamless integration that needs no further upkeep. You can have the query done in the time that it takes to find the functions_vbookie file and open it let alone make the changes, save it, then reupload it, only to have to do it all over again when vbookie updates. So nope, it's not easier, just less frightening for those that don't like to run queries.

This will integrate vbookie and eBux far with less hassle than editing your vbookie files. Editing the vbookie files is only part of it, you still have to follow all of the steps in the post I linked to except the sql query. The main difference between the sql query method and the editing the functions_vbookie method is that the sql method you do once and it is done for good, the file editing method has to be done every time vbookie is updated.

Well the other difference is that the sql method is tried tested and confirmed, the file editing works in theory but hasn't worked in practice (likely due to the person changing too many instances of ucash).

There is only one vbookie file to change and it's only 3 or 4 intances. No queries or screwing around the the database. Works flawlessly.

If this works then it is definately the method I would recommend and use myself. Who knows what other hacks may come out in the future for eBux and if you are altering your table name it could cause some problems. I can't say 100% that it will, because at this point I don't know that it will.

Dumb question but here goes.

The way the permissions are now is not all that intuitive. It might be better to make the permissions for each category and usergroup pick up the default usergroup permissions for the mod, and only use the category and option permissions to override the defaults as needed.

The file editing version is definately the better option for people not comfortable running queries and vbookie is pretty solid so unlikely to be updated very often (which is why it was my first suggestion some 70 odd pages back).

If you know your database and are comfortable with sql then the query is the far more elegant and effective solution, if you don't know your way round sql the file edits are far safer and far easier to reverse if you make an error.

As well as the above problem with the next bank interest date (ours is showing 1969 though), I have another problem ...

Some gifts are not showing up on threads, but *are* showing up on the user's profile. None of these users are above the 20 gift maximum default, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Also, I thought I read earlier that the "hover" over the gifts (which would show the gift giver's name and message) was being implemented, but I don't see it on the newest version we just upgraded to (v1.1.2).

[Ohiosweetheart]

All I know is that my usergroups are set to be able to purchase from the store, and everything is enabled in eStore Options/Manage Options... but some users can't make purchases even tho they have way more than enough points to do so.

so if i choose to do this ebux will work ok with vbookie, i just want to be sure


Just change the field to ucash for the money and execute the query.. Its fine and I have had it that way since the first release and upgraded every time since without issues..

Even though she has alot of bank points, is she in the negative on her points in her pocket? You can check this by looking at your user in the admincp >> users. Find the user and at the bottom you can see a couple eStore options. The only time I have ever seen this happen is when they get into negative points in their pocket, even though they have a positive bank roll.

If I made a hack calling the ebux field from the user table it wouldn't find it because you have it renamed to ucash. It would have to be a pretty big hack to do that as most hacks will use the functions CMX has built in, but nonetheless it is a possibility.

[shaynehammy]

When a user is recieving reputation, its doesnt seem to be affecting cash in anyway. Why is this happening?

[caimakale]

When a user is recieving reputation, its doesnt seem to be affecting cash in anyway. Why is this happening?
It affects the person giving the reputation, not the user receiving. Make sure you have a value set in your AdminCp >> eBux Options >> Manage Settings >> Points Per Good Reputation and Points Per Bad Reputation.

If those are set and the person giving the reputation still isn't getting points, make sure you have 1.1.2 installed. I know it works because my wife just sat here and gave people reputation to earn free points. Luckily it only allowed her to give 10 people reputation in a 24 hour period. ;)

OT but it would be better if the table and field were variables that could configured. This way something like vbookie could easilly be used for both estore and ushop :)

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

another require :)

when lottery is on add an annoucement in the estore.php home page :)

and question lets say i move the lottery option to no category...

how come it doesnt show?

A lot of template changes need to happen for the lottery, as well as a page to view the "past winners" soon too.

another question................How does the lottery works? how does it pick winners?

It counts the number of tickets in the specified lottery and then generates a random number from 0 to that number and pulls an entry out of the winners table randomly.

I am able to purchase a lottery ticket with no money in my account. Then it puts me into a negative restricting access to the bank. It happens because the initial cost of the lottery is 0.00 and it gives access to anybody. I don't think it checks the price after you select the lottery you want to purchase in the drop down box. It allows you to continue to the next page to make the actual purchase, this is where the check should occur to prevent it from letting you get to the page to make the final purchase.

Will be fixed in the next release.

After removing gifts from a member they still display inside their profile :pirate:

Because they are listed inside the estore_gifts table of course. Editing in the Admin CP is just to fix any bugs that show up in the postbit. There is currently no Admin Edit feature for editing the ones in the MEMBERINFO yet.

These were already reported, but I am going to also confirm this on my forum:

Interest is showing this: Next Bank Interest: 01-01-1970, 12:00 AM

Users can buy lottery tickets even if they don't have enough money. If they do this, they go into the negative point range.

This will be fixed in the next version, it was a minor bug.

Do the purchases of lottery tickets go INTO the jackpot...

Example.. I would like to set the jackpot to 0... Then as people buy tickets, it goes into the jackpot.. Is that how this works?

No, the jackpot is settable right now, its the first incarnation of the eLottery system, so it will grow with features over time. Your suggestion has been noted.

Ok, well then that explains it. I was getting the loyal member and senior discount, which brings up another bug.

This is giving anybody without their birth year set the senior discount. I have my birth month and day set, but not the year and it is giving me the senior discount. I don't require the birth year on my site.

The weird number was throwing me for a loop. I couldn't figure it out.

This will be fixed in the next release.

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 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

You can select what forums can be stickied, its under Forum Options.

The Expires X Days only works on certain kinds of purchases and on something like a sticky thread, it only will work if that user is active. It will disable soon as its been 7 days and that user who purchased it would have logged in as it uses that user's history as the "expire" feature.

I have no idea what you mention about a pager as eBS doesnt use any kind of pager at all.

Theres an eBux setting to set it not to reset the interest amount upon deposits for a few versions now I think.

The richest member displays the top overall money in pocket + money in the bank now.

Can you sell zip files in the store? How would you add it?

With the latest version if you upload a file to a post, it should have a field for how many points you would like for people to download it. Just enter the number there, it doesnt really need a store option as it shows the attachment inside the post and checks/transfers the points upon a user clicking it. Unfortunately there's no way without a Code Modification to have it display the cost of the attachment due to it needing the imagecodes field from the attachment database.

I'm lost. I installed this and set everything up but then I click on the estore button in the nav bar and Its telling me my usergroup doesn't have permision to use it. How do I set this? I thought I had it all.

Should be under Usergroup Permissions.

I am trying to remove item I bought, and getting message "You do not have enough points to perform this action.".
Why I need points to remove item I have?

What version do you have installed? I thought that was fixed in v1.1.2.

I have about ten categories, and, oh, 140 "forums", with a few extra user groups. Am I going to have to set options for each one of these forum areas individually, or will the permissions follow the parent category forum? Just wondering what this is going to be like to configure.

Gonna do it one day!

Unfortunately yes until I can create a global setting to set all items at once and then you could "modify" the options you dont want to have the settings. I hope to implement something like this in the near future.

I'm stucked with the 'deny' and 'give' forum access options. These options are set to be available for staffmembers only to block access to one of their forums in a category. But when a moderator block access for a member, this member can visit, post and reply as usual. What's wrong?

It only blocks them from going to the forum ID that you did the block for.

Is there a way for an admin to view every transaction made in the store or to get it to pm a specific usergroup when a transaction is made?

We are using this to sell forum items and items in our gaming world. It would greatly help the person who delivers the items sold on the forum to the people in game if there was either a pm made to all admins when somebody buys something or a web accessable log of every transaction made in the store.

The next version 1.1.3 will have a history per item. I think sending a PM is a bit overboard, but the history will be nice, and it will have pages and a setting for how many to show per page, etc. Someone could make an addon for the PM thing I'm sure, or I could look into it when I get more time.

Ok, completed upgrade to 1.1.2

Error still exists on that account. See screenshot.

I cannot do anything with that account. No matter what I click, it just gives me that page.

Did you reupload all of the files in the UPLOAD folder? That is a common mistake people tend to forget as well.

ok thx. Think I am going to write this one off as, shithappens. No worries, corrupt account will just be removed, and create another ect..

Still afriad to try the immunity hacks again, so I'll prob create another test account and doit that way, see if that has been fixed.

CMX:

THx for the Lotto!!

Only request I have left is intergration with ibPro Arcade..

In the future, I'll add it so the Admin CP, search for Users can edit the otherflags and some of the other fields that are added to the usertable in case of corruption too.

Does IBProArcade have any hooks implemented?

Quick question about the Lotto Ending time.

Says this in my store..

Lottery Ends Approximately: 02-20-06, 11:21 AM

Says this in AdminCP

1140452512

How do these relate?

The time it ends is a "TIMESTAMP" from php's time() command. It's how all dates are stored into the database physically. Even the joindate's that go into when your users have registered. They could be edited to show a proper date I guess, but it was easier at the time to just display the exact number for accuracy.

Ok I still have the empty category problem

I uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled it.

Still all categories are empty?

Did anyone solve this problem?? Any solutions?

Did you reupload all of the files, then click on Rebuild Datastore from the Admin CP?

ut oh.... a member is trying to buy a gift for another member. I have the cost set at 1000 points. It's telling her that she doesn't have enough points to perform this action. But she has over 5,000 points....

what can I do?

Thats very odd unless you have the tax percentage to like 400% lol, I dont see how that error would occur though, nonetheless, I'll look into it and test it on my test forum.

I wonder are you planning to integrate paypal with this system?
buy points using real money??

I really would like someone else to implement that as I dont want to do anything that has to do with real money due to legal reasons. Someone else is more than welcome to code this add on :)

oh.. lol

Request:

Can this be set up another way then? hehe.


I am having no luck with settign this..

Its based on seconds, like how many seconds till the end of the lotto?

I put in 302400, which is 1 week. But i get this date

Lottery Ends Approximately: 01-04-70, 07:00 AM

In the time active box, it has 604800, I assume means the lotto is up for 1 week?

Maybe i am just doing it wrong.

Nope, its a TIMESTAMP from php's time() command. You would have to run take vBulletin's TIMENOW + 604800 (1 week more than the TIMENOW).

It's allowing you to buy lottery tickets even if you don't have enough for one. It sent me 900 eBux into the negative integers.

Will be fixed in the next version.

Got this error when trying to admin donate

"The amount you are trying to transfer is invalid."

Although the amunts gets transferred to the user... how do i rectify this?

Did you enter a non-numeric value or leave it blank, that should be the only time it gives that message unless there's some new bug I havent found yet.

Quick question. I want my users to be able to able to change any admins custom titles if the users can afford it. However, admins seemed to be protected ...??

For now you would have to hack the action file.

Remove the following code from action.changeotherusertitle.php


// you cant change an administrators user title :p
if (($touser['usergroupid'] == '6') || ($touser['userid'] == '1'))
{
// display error, this user is protected against this action
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('estore_protected_ user')));
}


I did it this way because I work for a big Gaming Accessory company called Pelican Performance, I cant have some idiot change my user title to 'a$$hole' or something even more ridiculous, so I disabled it.

Regarding vbookie integration:

It's so much easier just to change all instances of "ucash" to "ebux" in functions_vbookie.php

No queries or anything need to be run.

I messaged the maker of vBookie, Andreas, I think he will update vBookie to work with eBS in the future, we'll see.

If I may make a suggestion...
The way the permissions are now is not all that intuitive. It might be better to make the permissions for each category and usergroup pick up the default usergroup permissions for the mod, and only use the category and option permissions to override the defaults as needed.

Very creative & good idea, I'll see if I can implement that into v1.1.3.

Where does the lottery display winners?

It doesnt just yet, but it DOES save the winners into a winners table, just need to do the templates/php to display the "previous winners".

Sorry for the double post. Another problem is

"Next Bank Interest: 01-01-1970, 01:00 PM"

How do i rectify this?

Again this will be fixed in v1.1.3

As well as the above problem with the next bank interest date (ours is showing 1969 though), I have another problem ...

Some gifts are not showing up on threads, but *are* showing up on the user's profile. None of these users are above the 20 gift maximum default, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Also, I thought I read earlier that the "hover" over the gifts (which would show the gift giver's name and message) was being implemented, but I don't see it on the newest version we just upgraded to (v1.1.2).

It does not show 2 of the same gifts in the profile so it can display as many different gifts as possible in the postbit. Also, you may need to use the Admin Feature to "Fix all gifts".

All I know is that my usergroups are set to be able to purchase from the store, and everything is enabled in eStore Options/Manage Options... but some users can't make purchases even tho they have way more than enough points to do so.

I havent seen this problem, I'd have to say make sure you did upload all files again every time you upgrade because some files changed overtime, especially functions_estore.php.


Another note, working on v1.1.3, hopefully it will release tomorrow, Tuesday, February 14th, valentine's day!

Thank you SO much for all your AWESOME support, seriously.

Just one quick thing (but a big thing to our members) that I didn't see answered .... will the "hover" over gifts (which will show the gift giver's name and message) be added?

Also, you said in reply to my question about missing gifts (in the threads, not in the profile like you mentioned) that it will not show 2 of the same gifts ... would it be possible to make this an option in a future update? We have a board full of ladies that are VERY into the gifts and are disappointed that their gifts aren't showing up in the threads ... especially since there is a only a small selection of gifts at this time (working on adding more ;) ). The rose and bouquet are popular gifts in our forum and because of this, members are getting multiples of them from different members, but can't see them.

Off to donate to PayPal because I am just so completely impressed with your dedication to this project. :) (no kissing up intended)

At the first page, it states shipping and handling is $0, but at the confirmation screen, it plugs in $5.50 shipping and handling automatically (and doesn't allow me to change it) ....

This hover question has been answered MANY times, I will not support this in the official hack because I dont think that showthread should CACHE the entire estore_gifts table into memory everytime someone views a thread. (This is exactly how the old gifts hack + ribbon hacks work, they will cache the entire table into memory.) I run a site with well over 200,000 registered members, it would take ages if there were 200,000 gifts in the table for it to cache every post, the server would fall on its face hourly. The only way to fix this is to serialize the data INSIDE of the gifts field that goes into the user table, but I havent had a chance to look at doing this yet.

Uhh, quick question about PayPal donations ....

What would be great if there was a history list that displayed who changed anothers user titles. Say the last 20 titles changes.

So where the Most sold catergory is.Clicking on this (Change Others User Title) would take you to who bought what.

[MissKalunji]

well thank you cmx

Can't find this doing a search so,

Can points be removed from a specific member? Or is there a way to reset one members point total to zero?

Are you talking about serializing it and leaving it in the user table or adding it to the datastore?

[caimakale]

The easiest way of doing this is to go into your AdminCP >> Users and then search for the user. At the bottom of the user info screen is the eBux info including pocket points and bank points. Just erase everything there and save. :)

This will happen in v1.1.3 when it releases.

Yes, you can edit the user in the Admin CP by using the Users -> Search For User admin feature. On the left hand side at the bottom it will display the eBux/eStore options for that individual user.

Are you talking about serializing it and leaving it in the user table or adding it to the datastore?

I'm saying that the gifts field inside of the user database has to be an array of "serialized" fields so that it will not have to query the actual estore_gifts TABLE.

I am reinstalled eBux / eStore. Uninstalled and then installed v1.1.2
I still unable to remove items. Still getting "You do not have enough points to perform this action.".
And still not see option to change user title color after i bought this option(fist change is ok, but after this i unable to change. I set "Can Change Always" in admin cp). I see only button "Remove"
Anybody can confirm this problems?

[caimakale]

OK here goes.

In order to be able to go back and change your color etc...you had to have that option enabled before you bought the item. If you bought it, then enabled the "Change Always Items" in the item, it won't work unless you set it manually now.

If it is set now, then anybody who purchases it at this point will have the ability to come back and change at any time.

So how do you manually set it? You first need to figure out what the item number is. One way of doing this is finding the item in the store and then hover over it. It will show you the URL and will look something like this:

http://www.yourwebsitehere.com/estore.php?do=action&itemid=6

In that link you can see that the itemid is 6.

So get your itemids that you need to change on your user. Open up your AdminCP >> User area. Find the user you want to change. When you find the user and are viewing their info, scroll to the bottm where you can see their points and other store options. You will want to add the itemid to the "Change Always Items". Separate them by commas. For example, in my personal account I have 5,6,11 in that field so I can continually change my username color, username glow, and usertitle color because I have purchased these things.

If you don't have these numbers in the "Change Always Items" area then it thinks you are either going to need to remove it or repurchase it, those will be your only options until you manually set it. And if you don't have enough eBux to repurchase it again, then you will get the error that you got.

These probably aren't the best instructions but I hope it helps.

[caimakale]

Thanks alot. It helps.
But what about first problem? I still unable to remove items.
It looks like a bug, and in checking it out, I found another bug.

So concerning your problem, unless you have enough money to purchase the item again, you can't return it. Even if it is going to give you a refund.

So when I was testing it. I returned the glowing username and it put the points back into my account. I then hit the back button in my browser and it took me right back to the previous page where I had the option to remove it or change the color. I entered in a color and selected change and it changed it just fine without charging me any money. So not only did I get a refund for the item, but I still ended up with my glowing username. This could be exploited and somebody could earn a ton of points doing it.

***EDIT***
So I just checked something else. It turns out you don't even have to hit the back button. Once it's been purchased you always own it if the "Change Always Items" is active. One of two things needs to happen. Refunds need to be turned off when "Change Always Items" is active on an item, or when an item is removed and a refund issued, the itemid# for the "Change Always Items" needs to be deleted from the database. I know for the time being, I am turning off refunds so people can't rob the bank.

to include a comprehensive guide to getting vbookie working with eBux using both the sql and file editing methods.


Frugal - thanks for this - it was getting confusing with all the different stuff being quoted about vBookie....mine works perfectly with ebux now.

CMX_CMGSCCC - Many many thanks for this mod...it's amazing how often and quickly you update it ! Also would love it to be integrated with the ibpro arcade ( haven't got a clue about the "hooks" etc though !)

[Sooner95]

Did you reupload all of the files in the UPLOAD folder? That is a common mistake people tend to forget as well.

Yes, I always make sure I do the basics before complaining. This error has never went away, since 1.08. Not a big deal, more than likely you have it fixed, unfiortanetly, I have been unable to fix the table for that user via phpadmin. Got a friend who will check it out for me, see if it can be salvaged, otherwise I'll just delete that user and recreate.


In the future, I'll add it so the Admin CP, search for Users can edit the otherflags and some of the other fields that are added to the usertable in case of corruption too.

excellent, that would be great CMX.

Does IBProArcade have any hooks implemented?

I'm not very code savy, but if you mean a file hooks_ebuxestore.xml in the includes/xml folder, then no. thats in the 2.5.3 release, i know he has released one m ore update since, so woud have to check if their are any in that one.

I know a PM was sent to MR Zeropage (author of ibPro) so hopefully he will contact you about working out this addon.

Thanks again for the support and fine work.

Also, with the help of others, figured out the timestamp thing for creating lottos as well.

Sooner's problem with the userid is fixed. To fix it, I had to go in as another admin - I registered a new account and then made it an admin by changing the database since it was his admin account that was hosed.

As the other admin, I cleared the estore history. Then, I set his admin account back to the correct usergroup, and he was good to go.

Frugal - maybe you could include the functions_vbookie.php file in your post, a lot easier for people who are not too sure of what to do.

Yes I thought about that last night but as it was something like 3am when I made the post and I had to get up for work at 7am and lordofgun had already attached the file I decided to make sure the instructions were adequate then hit the sack. I'll drop a pm to the author of vbookie and ask him for permission to post an edited version and once I have his ok I'll attach the file.

Frugal

[Frugal]

If I made a hack calling the ebux field from the user table it wouldn't find it because you have it renamed to ucash. It would have to be a pretty big hack to do that as most hacks will use the functions CMX has built in, but nonetheless it is a possibility.
Hehe anything is possible, but as you say the points field is a user configurable variable, it is not hard coded so one would hope any hacker worth his salt would use the built in functions rather than hard coding it when CMX designed it to be user configurable. However in the event of a fantastic but hard coded hack being released it is just 1 query and the field is again called eBux. Of course until that day I can use several hacks with ebux that were designed for ucash, as well as vbookie I also use the league system that uses the ucash points field.

Mind you, I never really intended to get into a debate on the merits of file editing vs sql queries, which is best is down to the needs and preferences of the individual forum owner. I originally suggested the file edit method on page 24 and when the guy had no success I posted the sql query on page 25 which got him up and running, as lots of others have reported success with those instructions I continued to favour the sql method. My only motivation was to help those wanting to integrate vbookie and eBux and now that there is a comprehensive post giving both options we should find less people having difficulty in this area.

Thanks for your input though, it is always good to have the pro's and cons from many sources so that people can make an informed choice about which method suits them best.

Frugal

[caimakale]

Ditto ... my members would love that and I'll donate for it. Thanks for all your hard work on this!!
It's actually not very hard to do, but as CMX said, it does run more queries on every page load.

Right now the ribbons hack does that and I am looking into (as is CMX) a way to serialize the ribbons hack into the user table. I will have to clear the estore_ribbons in the users table, and then read and serialize the data in the current ribbons table and then store it in estore_ribbons that I initially cleared. After that I want to then re-use the ribbons table to store the ribbon color and cause, so that they can be edited/deleted/added via the admincp. The current method has everything hard coded in the files.

As I have never serialized anything before, I did start reading up on it last night. But who knows when I will actually finish everything.

[Frugal]

Frugal - thanks for this - it was getting confusing with all the different stuff being quoted about vBookie....mine works perfectly with ebux now.Glad I could be of help, as you can see by my 50 odd posts in 4 and a bit years (most of which are in this thread) I'm not a big poster but I was inspired by the level of support that CMX has given in this thread and figured that if I could do my little bit I should.

You also need to make sure your template edit is for ebux not vbookie, the vbookie postbit template edit only shows vbookies own money vCash.

In the postbit after

$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]

You should have
<br />
<a href="estore.php?do=donate&amp;userid=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[ebux_points]</a>: $post[points]<br />
$vbphrase[ebux_bank]: $post[bank]<br />
$vbphrase[ebux_total_points]: $post[totalpoints]<br />

You should not have
<if condition="$vboptions['vbookiecashon']">
<br />vCash: $post[vbookie_cash]
</if>

Providing ebux is set to use the field ucash, the query has been run to change the ebux field to ucash, vbookie has been set to use ucash, and the postbit has the ebux changes and not the vbookie changes, all should work.

The total points field and phrase was added in 1.1.2 which is why it shows as just : on your forum. You can either upgrade to 1.1.2 or remove this line from your postbit until you upgrade.

$vbphrase[ebux_total_points]: $post[totalpoints]<br />

Ok m8 i will try to upgrade.... although i thought i had lol

Cheers will do either 1 now!!

[bashy]

Just a quicky...

I have done the upgrade and all seems well now thanks...

This line in the instructions

You will need to redo the template edit below if you want to add the 'Donate' feature for the postbit.

What is this all about, Whats the donate function and which edit is this please?

[cuphongle]

is the reputation system not working with this? i saw that it should be, but i set it up so that when someone gets a good reputation, they should get points....but it doesnt work

There is a BUG with lottery+bank

I brought a lottery ticket, when I had 200 bux out of the bank, however, I got into negative bux.

I have 9000 bux in the bank, but because I have negative bux it will not let me withdraw them...

The donate function is when you click on someones points link in the postbit you can donate eBux points to them. The reason it tells you to redo it is because it has changed in version 1.1.2. The template edit from my vbookie instructions is the 1.1.2 version so if you left the postbit as it was in your earlier post then you should not need to redo it.

Search for Points in the phrase manager and then rename it to whatever you wish...

Sorry if this has been covered somewhere in the 97 other pages of this post (holy cow) but is there an easy way to add extra gifts? I'd love to create some more gift options but am unsure how to add them.

Everyone on my board is loving this by the way! Awesome!

don't know about that, there probably is an easy way...

Hi

I did this before i asked the question....theres loads for the ebux system, do i change them all?

[chizzzz]

Execute the following query


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


Hey I did this and its working fine, but lets say in the FUTURE, I want to revert back to the original, can you post a Query that will set the filed back to normal?

Thanks

Its very ez.

Create gif images, 15x15 pixels is the norm. make sure the ext is lower case .gif

make sure they have transparent backgrd.

Upload them to your forums/images/gifts directory and your all set. Next time you go to purchase a gift, it will be in the drop down.

Post what you create, CMX has been addign the good ones to his installs for everyone. Somehow 3 of my awful ones made it haha..

Hope this helps!

[QueenBee]

clicks install. thanks. so much better than ushop:)

and i was just gonna ask how to add new gifts. but u already answered. thanks again!

To revert it back to normal use this

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

i dont understand whats going on... but admin can view the estore... and member's can't seem to view it.. i have a group called "Elite Members" and they can't view it at all... I edit it in the user group permissions to say "Yes" for them to be able to use the ebux system, but still... they can't use it. what am i doing wrong here?

[bashy]

There is about 30 to change...Do i change them all?
I dont want to go ahead without confirmation in case i break sommat!!!! :smoke:

[EasyTarget]

is anyone else having the issue that the users' status icon is being moved to a new line?
bump :D


it seems to happen when someone changes their username color, the status icon gets bumped to a new line.

Yes you can change them all, also because they are simply phrases you won't "break" anything and can easily change them back if you are not happy with the results.

With this hack can i create shops and add items and users can buy it?

You also have to go into each category in AdminCP >> eStore Options >> and set the usergroup permissions in each category (Manage Categories) and each item (Manage Items). This is aside from editing the usergroups section of the admincp.

[caimakale]

It depends on what type of shop you are asking about. If you are looking for a real store where real money changes hands, then no you can't do that with this.

If you want to add items that people can by with the points they've earned, then yes you can do that. There is an action file in this thread somewhere where you can add physical items to the shop. But it only transfers points, not money.

[caimakale]

is the reputation system not working with this? i saw that it should be, but i set it up so that when someone gets a good reputation, they should get points....but it doesnt work
The reputation system is set up to give reward the person giving the good reputation not the person getting it. The person getting the good reputation is already being rewarded with good reputation, why throw money in there as well??? This is a great way to get people to start using the reputation system however. I know it works as designed on version 1.1.2, but not sure about previous versions.

[Impreza04]

Looking forward to 1.1.3 :)
Just noticed however that I've not been getting E-Mail updates for this hack? I've noticed the changes I just thought there may be a few people who haven't.

I get this error when I go do Mass Forum Settings under ebux options and try to change something... I don't think I have any bux_ tables in my forum database, I cant find any.

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.3:

Someone on my forum said this:
"
I got -116.71 points? Wierd. I purchased a lottery ticket. I think I just found an eStore bug! I had less points than the cost of a lottery ticket.

I really don't want to read back through all the posts to see if anyone else had this problem. lol

Amykhar needs to link her addon to this thread in her addon. She can manage the settings for her hack and there is an area there for her to enter this thread id and the forums will then link them automatically.

It's a bug. It put them in the negative and now they won't be able to access the bank or anything until the admin fixes it. I think CMX knows about it already. :)

How do i make it so that users can't purchase certain colors for their names when they change it? I don't want them to have the same colors as mods or admins.

Seond Question:

As Admin, I donated myself 1000 points through admin donate... I had 0 points, and it should have bumped my points to 1000... instead, it bumped it to 2000. What happened?

I think this was an earlier bug that may not have been fixed. Are you on version 1.1.2?

***EDIT*** I just tested it on 1.1.2 and I am not having that problem. It was reported earlier but appears to have been fixed now.

[TTG]

can anyone suggest an sql query to remove all ribbons .. some members had ribbons purchased as a gift ( pre 1.1.2 ) and I need to remove them.

Check over in the ribbons thread and I will post a fix there.

I finally took the plunge and installed this rather than messing around on a test site.

My observations so far is that it's a fantastic hack but I've noticed the following:

Would like to see a preview for all name effects before confirmation (or an HTML color picker as I mentioned before)
The "hand" cursor doesn't appear in the postbit if you've got a glowing username .. it becomes a "selection" cursor instead. This should be fixable as it works ok in ushop.
Compatability with comments made in vbadvanced (photopost) gallery etc. would be nice
The navbar breadcrumb doesn't change, would be better if it updates depending on where you are in the store ... or at least have a 'return' link somewhere.
The buttons are very hard to read (but I may make my own)
Would be cool to get an Email or PM on points donation so you know where they are coming from.
Clicking to see your "Points eStore Information" takes you to your profile, shouldn't it take you to your inventory?
For some reason, every reply I make is giving me double what I set it to

I had a problem with this initially. I did a Mass Forum Setting. I set all of my forums to the same points per reply, thread creation, etc... Then in the Manage Options I also set a value there. Turns out it either adds or multiplies your forum point option with the setting you set in Manage Options (eBux Options Menu).

thank you so much

Upgraded to 1.1.3 with no problems so far. Now off to find the changes and goodies!

Thanks CMX for the ability to have points + bank on the main page, yes!!

Very impressed with the level of support and updates of this hack.

One more vote for IBProarcade integration.

Like the idea of a point betting casino.
