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

[creedmaniac]

for some reason after the 1.1.6 upgrade, users all lost their glow if they had one.

Any ideas?

did you redo the template edits?...if not you need to for the glow to work now...think it says that in the upgrade notes

[ImportPassion]

doh. thanks.

9) Bugfix: New template edit for postbit, postbit_legacy & MEMBERINFO to fix it so that the glow color does not push the online icon down a line. (You must redo the template edits, otherwise the glow color will not work anymore after upgrading to this version.)

[Exitilus]

Can you repeat this at http://www.ps2hits.com/forums/ so I can debug it further?


-CMX

I tried doing it there but unfortunately i don't have access to delete gifts. :)

(reminder. My issue was deleting the gift from the profile but gift still showing up on post bit) :)

[MorrisMcD]

Yes, the following query will change it back to eBux

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

Also don't forget to edit your eBux settings to set the eBux Points Field to eBux and of course make the necessary changes in the vbookie settings.

Frugal


Much appreciated.. Worked like a charm

[MorrisMcD]

All my users glow names are not working .. :(

I think it happened when upgrading to .6.. A user just pointed it out to me though so who knows.. :) I didnt install any other hacks since then though... I went to the store, but it gave me the option to remove it, so the item is still there...

Any ideas?

thanx for this update,i love the way when you send a member a gift they also recieve a PM to let them know

[Rickie3]

3) eStore Setting: Display X Winners Per Lottery Winners Page, enter the amount of winners you want displayed on the Lottery Winners page.

where do i find this setting ive looked everwhere and its got me stumped

[Rickie3]

EDIT found it helps when you put reading glasses on lol

Display X Items Per Item History Page
Enter the amount of items you want to display per page for the Item History. (Default is 20.)

Enter the amount of winners you want to display per page for the Lottery Winners. (Default is 20.)

[jojo77]

when you try to steal money, does it not notify the person that they have been robbed? I'm getting a few members wondering why they lost some money and they said nothing shows in their history.

btw I got version 1.5.

[bleodler]

I'm running version 1.1.6 and tonight a couple of users started getting this error message and can't navigate to other parts of the site.

I did a bit of a template mod in my postbit so it wouldn't take up so much room with bank, available, and total points all showing. If you want to use it, PM me. :D

[MorrisMcD]

yeah...read like 6 or 7 posts above yours...;)

Oh crap.. My bad.. Thanks :D

[lordofgun]

BTW, for some reason (i'm assuming the new total points, bank, etc.), I'm getting an extra query per post in showthread.php now. :(

BIG TIME EDIT: I WAS MISTAKEN...SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS COMING FROM THE COUNTDOWN HACK. THIS HACK IS NOT ADDING EXTRA QUERIES PER POST.

[lordofgun]

BTW, for some reason (i'm assuming the new total points, bank, etc.), I'm getting an extra query per post in showthread.php now. :(

For example, on a page with 20 posts, my queries were previously 17, but after upgrading to 1.1.6, it jumped to 37. (+20)

[Hornstar]

Has anyone installed this and ustore both together?

What happens if you install both?

Will any problems happen if you do this?

And just wondering which version you guys think is better and why?

Thanks

I think that is awesome!!! Great idea and something that would be cool to see implemented. I know this isn't a pm but I am interested in the code to do this.

[caimakale]

For example, on a page with 20 posts, my queries were previously 17, but after upgrading to 1.1.6, it jumped to 37. (+20)
Is this because of the postbit change you made or because of 1.1.6 in general?

Thanksthis one by far you only have to read over the threads,excellent support here

[Gwynar]

Got an error:

When I did an admin donate, I would get the following error:
Fatal error: Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_pm in /includes/class_dm.php on line 758
When I checked the user account I was trying to donate to, points were being added to that user account. Then I noticed that the user had PMs disabled.

I tried enabling this option on their account and tried the admin donate again. This time it went through without a problem.

Seems like there needs to be a check to see if the user has PMs disabled or not.

hey cmx when i click on an attachment to DL. it says this

Do you really want to purchase Girogia Palmas.gif?
Current Points Total:
Current Bank Points:

Item Cost: 0

but i set it to cost 1 point per download. what do you think it is?

also is there a way to cut the page that comes up ( the extra step) to ask that you want to buy the download or not? just asking. thanks for the hard work and its working just fine!

arcade integration? a 'no no' or a 'definate just takes time'?
someone reply lol

[mr. visual]

I too had a problem with 1.0.9 where I purchased an item that expired 7 days later. After a week I wasn't able to login or access the forum at all and received db errors. I managed to clear my cache and login to the admincp to upgrade to 1.1.6.

I can access the store again but after trying with two different usernames when I click on a category no items show up. I checked all categories and they are all blank. Any ideas?

[mr. visual]

Apologies - I searched through the thread a bit more and found I needed to revert the estore_main template. All is fine now.

Thanks for a truely remarkable hack!

[MorrisMcD]

Well.. As you know, some people had their glow go away.. When I search through the template edits and make the ones that arent done, it puts the glow around the arcade trophy.. Any ideas?? I have done the edit 3 times in the postbit and same thing.. I did the one for member info and it worked fine though..

[lordofgun]

Is this because of the postbit change you made or because of 1.1.6 in general?

Happened with or without the postbit mod.

[bonzer]

um .. i installed set it up but have problems now .. i am a newbie so dont be hard on me ...
points system working for my members when making posts ..
But clicking on eStore i get these errors as admin and member
Where do i change i have searched the admin panel for hours ...

Your usergroup does not have permission to purchase eStore Options.

But i have set permissions so only banned and users waiting cannot see ??
HELP PLEASE

[XanTrax]

There is a bug in this that allows people to collect mass amounts of points in less then 20 mins. I had one user get 50k points in less then 20 mins. In/if next release

A.) Ban users specifically by userid to not allow to view the ebux store
B.) Fix that exploit

How is this done? Is it traceable in case someone on my board does it?

[Gizmo5h1t3]

just installed this, and WOW!!!

but, i have one problem...least i thinkits a problem....

i cant use it, as on the estore.php page, where it shows all the categories, im not seeing any clickable images....buttons etc, nor can i see any of the gifts , or anything...not even getting a red "x"...lol


as a fresh install, is there anything ihave to do, to get the ball rolling??

all the settings and image paths SEEM to be correct??


also, i got this when i checked out the description filepath for the thief option and added it to my browser......

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: standard_error() in /home/*******/public_html/board/estore/action.thief.php on line 20


or is that because i havent actually purchased it...ie...just followed the filepath in the browser??


im stuck, and im desperate for help here...lol

[designBox]

Thank you very much for this awesome hack.
I installed it smoothly and i already love it.
Can't wait for new additions :)

INSTALL clicked.

[XanTrax]

How is this done? Is it traceable in case someone on my board does it?


You can trace it through the logs but since you cant ban individual users and only by usergroup it makes it really a bother.

[Gizmo5h1t3]

also noticed that after settling 2 bets in the vbookie, its not added the winnings to the members totals, and i updated vbookie yesterday to the build which includes ebux??

Make sure you upload the images, if you dont then you wont see them

[inspiration100]

14) When you click on an attachment, it jumps you to a page to show how much the item costs before it purchases the item Thanks man, you rock!

[Gizmo5h1t3]

Make sure you upload the images, if you dont then you wont see them
the .png images are all there in the correct place on the FTP

[xtreme-mobile]

i see you can put how much it costs to download the files, is there a way of removing that option and pre setting it as a standard fee ie 500 for each downloaded file?

[kylek]

also noticed that after settling 2 bets in the vbookie, its not added the winnings to the members totals, and i updated vbookie yesterday to the build which includes ebux??

There is an update out for vbookie 1.0.7. that says it fixes the payout problem.

[caimakale]

someone reply lol
This has been discussed time and time again. CMX also gave everyone an update on it a few days ago. I know there are alot of posts here, but you can use the "Search This Thread" option to look for specific things in this thread only and get an answer faster than waiting for somebody to respond.

[Gizmo5h1t3]

thanks for that, il go n check...mustve missed it.

still stressed about the other problem with the images tho..:(

[dai-kun]

I really love this mod, thanks for everything!
Anyhow, can you make the attachments be bought by their size limit. Like if it's 5 MB, then it costs X amount, and if it's 10 MB, it costs X amount?

[CrazyShooter]

Possible fucture update

[Gizmo5h1t3]

whats all this about charging for downloaded files?
have i even got the correct build of this hack????

its not on mine...lmao

"14) When you click on an attachment, it jumps you to a page to show how much the item costs before it purchases the item."

nope, not seeing anything like that....

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

where / how do members set a points charge for downloading their attachments ?

If you have the value 0 in eBux Settings, it will ask them when they hit Manage Attachments. You need the Points Per Attachment enabled as well for it to show up.

REQUEST

Admin Donate be hidden from 'Most Sold' if not an admin (or just totally hidden)

<3

Will be fixed in v1.1.7.

Hi I would like to say I absolutely love it first of all!! One thing Im wondering if it is possible is if you can have the gift senders username and message show when you hover on a members gift like the picture here (http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/6698/image5hj.gif). This would be much appreciated if looked into! Thanks!

It's something that I'm looking into a future version for, yes.

So when is ebux/estore going to get it's own forum in Premium Modifications?

LoL, not sure, it maybe could use one. Only time will tell.

WOW, the first time a vb coder ever put out a set date they will release their hack. I hope thats true.



maybe cmx haven't requested for one yet. I am sure he will get one if he ask for it since it looks like this hack will be bigger than anything. Too many ideas for it and so far he already implemented almost all of them


Hey CMX, how about making this work with that hide resurection hack? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=97366&highlight=hide+hack


make it so that everytime someone reply to see the hiden content, a certain amount of point is deducted and that same amount of point is added to the thread starter.

How about that?

I have a ton more items to add to the eStore, I'd rather concentrate first on items that do not require other hacks before working on addons for individual hacks like AJAX Shoutbox 2.0, etc.. But I'll add this to the list to do later.

Since the devlopment is so active here, I have another request/suggestion...

It would make more sense to me if the options for eStore Items we're stored inside the actual configuration of the item rather than the eStore Settings. For example:

All thief options should be in the options for the Thief action, rather than Manage Settings.

Same for Admin Donate, Donate, and Gift.

Finally, I'd like a PM notifying a person that someone attempted to steal from them...

EDIT: Wow. I just looked at your coding. VERY nice. I was able to add the option to PM a user on a theft in about 2 minutes. You made your own function for it. :cool:

Possibly yes, but it also is a bit harder to do this, maybe the options should be separated into eStore Action Options instead of eStore Options. It would be much easier to do that. Although I could add a set of custom variables to the Actions I guess too. Let me think about this one before jumping into it.

Where do i buy a lotery ticket please?

In the eStore main page -> Points Options -> Buy Lottery Ticket.

On every update I've done, the usergroup options dissapear. It also locks me out of the store. The only way to fix it was to uninstall completely and reinstall.. however, this last go around that doesn't even work. Also, bad side effect, all my members lose what they bought and their cash. Where can I manually add the options back in, since the installer doesn't seem to be doing it.

If you upload the Product XML file with Allow Overwrite = Yes, it shouldnt overwrite your permissions unless a new one was added I think.

I just upgraded to 1.1.5 last night. After starting off with 1.1.2 a couple days ago. Is this a challenge to see if I can keep up? :)

Call me a realist, but if you seen my webpage, we usually provide Daily updates for Code Breaker PS2 codes, so I like to do updates as quickly and painlessly as I can make possible.

i love the mod, works great, im about to update it, any news on integrating it with v3Arcade? that will make it kick ass!

John is adding the hooks for v3Arcade when he releases the next version March 12th. Stay tuned!

Is someone able to explain how i can use the "Buy access to forum" feature?

I have a "Club of super-rich" forum created and want users to buy access for 25.000 points.

So i have created the forum.... and now?

Thanks in advance...

First enable the Forum Setting, Can Buy Access to this forum. Then you have to go into forum permissions and edit the usergroups that you DO NOT want to have access to the forum. Set their permission, Can See Posts/Threads/Make New Threads/Post, set those options to No and it should be setup where they have to buy access for the forum.

As far as the cost, right now there is a generic cost per forum access, I'll see if I can think of a way to make it so you can specify a price per forum without getting too messy.

Thank you. I already have marked User's Can Buy Access to this Forum? with Yes, but Users don't need to buy ;) They just can enter the forum. So my question should be: How can i forbid users to enter the forum before they buy access ;)

Because you have not setup the Forum Permissions to deny them to see the forum yet. Read the above reply, it should make sense.

How do I upgrade? Do I just overwrite the old files on my ftp and then reimport the xml and go through the settings again? And whats the next upgrade date? Sould I wait till there is less time between upgrades?

This is a great hack and my users love it.

V1.0.0 came out on Feb. 1st, we are on Feb. 18th and I think 18 versions have released, so almost a new release a day. If you want to keep up, then you need to update daily as well :) It's really all up to you, I add new features / fix bugs as fast as I can. As far as upgrading:

1) Upload all files again (some will have changed no doubt.)
2) Soon as the upload is finished Re-Import the Product XML file with Allow Overwrite to Yes.

But what is the difference between "Buy forum access" and "Buy forum password" then?


btw, when trying this i get: This site doesn't have any forums that need password.

Buy Forum Access inserts an entry into the "access" table that vB uses to see if you are able to access the forum. Buy Forum Password will give you the password if the forum in question Requires one.

once u upgrade the estore, all my users bourght items have vanished however when you go to buy another one it says- do you wish to remove this item... how can I get them to show again?

Try to goto Admin CP and run Rebuild Datastore.

CMX -

Any idea yet on a branding free option? $20? $30? $40? $50?

Name your price, you will have plenty of takers!

Well for now, I'd say the Branding Free Option is if you have donated something via Paypal. Since I'm not equipped to better handle the situation just yet. So if you have donated $10 or more via Paypal, you can remove the Branding Stuff in the template.

Get Forum Access and Get Forum Password both tell me, that there are no forums to need to buy access for. Is this a bug? Or am i just blind?

Then you do not have any forums that you are Unable to View at that time, and you do not have any forums that require a password. It auto searches thru the forum cache to be sure the user NEEDS access before showing the forums so they wont lose their points by buying something they dont need.

could i get you to help me out on a little problem i am having? i want to be able to edit the mainpage, and add portions of it to the usercp and to the profile. I want to edit the UserCP so that it has the top 10 users and the most sold in it.. is there any way i could do that? i might even put the buying thigns in there (i know how to do that, uber easy) and then it will have no need for the navbar addon.. but yah.. if u could help me out on that one thing.. it would be highly appreciated...

As far as doing the most sold, its not the easiest thing in the world, you have to do a plugin modification though to make it check the most sold items first off. The code to cache the most sold is inside of the eStore PHP files and I do not have time to elaborate more on this as there are still 3 more pages of threads I need to look at. Just look at some of the PHP and search for $mostsold and u should find a starting point.

I have

User's Can Buy Access to this Forum? Ja Nein

in the forum... And i have set a password to it.

Buy Access does not work for Forum Password. They would have to use Buy Forum Password to get access to a forum that you have set a Password for.

The Buy Access is only useful if you DENY the Registered Usergroups to a Forum under Forum Permissions. If you dont allow them to see / post / use the forum, when they goto Buy Forum Access, they will see the forums that they do NOT have access to.

i have a small suggestion..
is it possible to let the thread creator to set the points require to download the attachment instead of a fixed amount... also images shouldn't cost any points?

If you set the Points Per Attachment option to 0 in the eBux Options, then there will be a userfield when they goto Manage Attachments to set how many points they want the image to cost.

do the gifts expire after a certain time? Can we set it or get a change so that a gift will last x amount of days?

At this time, gifts do not expire. The only options that are actually able to expire currently, are the options that do not use their own Script Location.

One more thing on the avatars.

I have almost 2400 avatars in 76 categories. I know this is alot but I don't think I am the only person with avatars in multiple categories.

Would it be possible to have the avatar selection area of the store sort categories in one drop down and then the avatar name in another drop down right next to the category drop down? Then have the pic of the selected avatar next to that?

Right now it sorts by category, then by item name I think. But it could be better useful to have it display like the Quick Forums Links at the bottom of some pages, I'll look into that so its better sorted.

What exactly does this mean?



I don't understand what exactly that means?

It means if you had a version before 1.1.6 and u had upgraded to v1.1.6, u would need to redo the Template edits as some may have changed.

well...those template changes were fun...

how are people marking their template changes to make it easier for future updates where I may have to change something again?...i can't just revert my templates back to norm and start from scratch because of other modifications

I guess I should add into the code stuff like <!-- eBS Start --> <!-- eBS End --> in the next release for better documentation.

dan35: I have fixed the removal problem it will go out in the next release. As far as the tax percentage calculations, I'll look into it to see if I see any problems in the calculations as well. And the Download feature, I have changed it to use the "Attachment Cost" set in the eBux Options, if the cost doesnt match properly with whats in the Attachment database". You can specify the amount of points each attachment costs, if you set the Attachment Cost in the eBux Options to 0, and the points go to the uploader already.

Thanks for this great hack CMX..I have two questions and one request for now.. :)

1.I've enabled "Thief Always Fails Against Staff" option but I have other kinds of staff group that I want to protect.Their group numbers are 41,43,46..5,6,7 is already protected..How can I add these groups?



2.How can use this ext. with vbookie?

Do you also think of enabling users to buy special styles? Like, No ads style or inserted extra information to style..Any style like this would be really nice item to buy.. :)

You would change this code ...


if (($touser['usergroupid'] >= 5) && ($touser['usergroupid'] <= 7))


to something like ...


if (!is_member_of($touser, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12))


Where you put in the groups you want to protect there.

As far as vBookie, the new version of vBookie supports eBux, so u'd just need to download + install the new version.

OK, that makes sense. Thank you for helping me.

One more last question- it says "you must" change the templates to make them work correctly. If mine seem to be working okay, do I still need to change them anyways? I haven't ever had any issues and it doesn't appear to be having problems even after upgrade. I will change them over if need be though.

Thank you again! :)

If you do not want your online icon to get pushed down to the next line, then you need to make the template changes. That's what the template change you are referring to fixed.

I would like to DISPLAY the Jackpot Amount on a different page. I only need the code, I can add it to where I want, does anyone have a clue on how to do it? I am only going to have 1 Daily Lottery, and the Jackpot builds with each ticket sold...

This is the part I want... The JACKPOT AMOUNT

Lottery Name: Lottery
Jackpot Amount: 497.93
Ticket Price: 100.00
Lottery Ends Approximately: 02-18-2006, 08:13 PM

Thanks in advance

You'll have to do a query from the TABLE_PREFIX . "estorelottery" table and cache the lotteries into a variable, then modify a template to use the values you have set.

just curoious what this might been:

this particular user said he could not login to the site either. well, he could log in, but got a database error when he tried going to the forums.

This was fixed in a previous version, you should update to the newest version and it should be fixed.

Is there any possible way that you could add a feature to the store that shows a list of the last 2 or 3 usernames in the profile of the members who've changed their username?

I have members that accumulate points quickly and some of them have a new username every few days, I would like to be able to remember who someone is by checking their profile or something like that.

Thanks

Yeah, I need to add another field to the user table to keep a track of this. For now, all you can do is goto Change Username and View its history.

I tried doing it there but unfortunately i don't have access to delete gifts. :)

(reminder. My issue was deleting the gift from the profile but gift still showing up on post bit) :)

The gift should show up in the profile if you have more than 1 of that gift. For example, if someone gave u 2 beer's, if u delete only 1 of them, the first beer will show up in the postbit as it only lists 1 of each item in the postbit.

All my users glow names are not working .. :(

I think it happened when upgrading to .6.. A user just pointed it out to me though so who knows.. :) I didnt install any other hacks since then though... I went to the store, but it gave me the option to remove it, so the item is still there...

Any ideas?

Need to redo the Template Edit.

3) eStore Setting: Display X Winners Per Lottery Winners Page, enter the amount of winners you want displayed on the Lottery Winners page.

where do i find this setting ive looked everwhere and its got me stumped

It should be in eStore Options as of v1.1.6 I believe.

when you try to steal money, does it not notify the person that they have been robbed? I'm getting a few members wondering why they lost some money and they said nothing shows in their history.

btw I got version 1.5.

It should have shown in their User History if the actual thief attempt was successful AND you have the eStore Option, Log Thief turned on, as well as the Manage Options -> Thief -> Log History set to Yes.

I'm running version 1.1.6 and tonight a couple of users started getting this error message and can't navigate to other parts of the site.
http://img461.imageshack.us/img461/6096/tmr3pc6my.jpg

Goto the Admin CP, then Manage Options, then view the item that is causing that error, scroll down to Table Settings, Set Name is there, it seems it cant find that field in the Item Table Name specified.

BTW, for some reason (i'm assuming the new total points, bank, etc.), I'm getting an extra query per post in showthread.php now. :(

Not sure why because the showthread_start plugin only has 1 query to send the points to the thread creator. There are other queries that happen like when you are supposed to receive your next bank interest, etc that should only happen once every so often too.

For example, on a page with 20 posts, my queries were previously 17, but after upgrading to 1.1.6, it jumped to 37. (+20)

Very odd, I'm unable to replicate this bug, do you have any other add ons to eBS. Also maybe try to disable any new products you have installed recently to see if they are caused by them. On my Test Forum, I goto a thread with 7 points and it still has only 10 queries.

Has anyone installed this and ustore both together?

What happens if you install both?

Will any problems happen if you do this?

And just wondering which version you guys think is better and why?

Thanks

Not really sure what could happen here, just know that if u install both, u will receive double the queries and maybe some conflictions too.

As far as answering which is better, I'm unable to answer that question since I'm in a biased position :)

Got an error:

When I did an admin donate, I would get the following error:

When I checked the user account I was trying to donate to, points were being added to that user account. Then I noticed that the user had PMs disabled.

I tried enabling this option on their account and tried the admin donate again. This time it went through without a problem.

Seems like there needs to be a check to see if the user has PMs disabled or not.

Oh, good point, I'll have to check for this before sending the PM off in the next release.

hey cmx when i click on an attachment to DL. it says this

Do you really want to purchase Girogia Palmas.gif?
Current Points Total:
Current Bank Points:


Item Cost: 0


but i set it to cost 1 point per download. what do you think it is?

also is there a way to cut the page that comes up ( the extra step) to ask that you want to buy the download or not? just asking. thanks for the hard work and its working just fine!

This is caused by a bug before when someone added the attachment before the imagecost field was setup properly for the "All Attachments Cost X Points" was added. It will be fixed in v1.1.7

arcade integration? a 'no no' or a 'definate just takes time'?
someone reply lol

Definitely will have support, just I am not going to hack the arcade PHP files, the makers of the arcade scripts are going to add hooks / do the hacks themself. So we are awaiting the new arcades to come out before I can add stuff like Arcade Pass, etc..

um .. i installed set it up but have problems now .. i am a newbie so dont be hard on me ...
points system working for my members when making posts ..
But clicking on eStore i get these errors as admin and member
Where do i change i have searched the admin panel for hours ...


Your usergroup does not have permission to purchase eStore Options.

But i have set permissions so only banned and users waiting cannot see ??
HELP PLEASE

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Manage Usergroups -> usergroup you want to have access -> eBux Settings towards the bottom -> Can Use eStore at all -> Yes

There is a bug in this that allows people to collect mass amounts of points in less then 20 mins. I had one user get 50k points in less then 20 mins. In/if next release

A.) Ban users specifically by userid to not allow to view the ebux store
B.) Fix that exploit

How did they accomplish getting the points that fast, assuming they did not use Thief of course.

I'll add a field to the user table so the user can be disabled access to the eStore completely for abusive users.

just installed this, and WOW!!!

but, i have one problem...least i thinkits a problem....

i cant use it, as on the estore.php page, where it shows all the categories, im not seeing any clickable images....buttons etc, nor can i see any of the gifts , or anything...not even getting a red "x"...lol


as a fresh install, is there anything ihave to do, to get the ball rolling??

all the settings and image paths SEEM to be correct??


also, i got this when i checked out the description filepath for the thief option and added it to my browser......



or is that because i havent actually purchased it...ie...just followed the filepath in the browser??


im stuck, and im desperate for help here...lol

Try going to Admin CP -> eStore Options -> Rebuild Datastore

Also, you are not allowed to goto the action.whatever.php files first. You have to goto them via the estore.php main store page.

You can trace it through the logs but since you cant ban individual users and only by usergroup it makes it really a bother.

I'll add a ban feature to ban each individual user in the next release.

i see you can put how much it costs to download the files, is there a way of removing that option and pre setting it as a standard fee ie 500 for each downloaded file?

Yes, inside eBux Settings, change the Cost Per Attachment setting to 500 should be what you are looking for. There is a slight issue with this that will be resolved in v1.1.7 as well, stay tuned!

I really love this mod, thanks for everything!
Anyhow, can you make the attachments be bought by their size limit. Like if it's 5 MB, then it costs X amount, and if it's 10 MB, it costs X amount?

I could possibly add another setting to do something along those lines, let me think about it.

whats all this about charging for downloaded files?
have i even got the correct build of this hack????


its not on mine...lmao

"14) When you click on an attachment, it jumps you to a page to show how much the item costs before it purchases the item."


nope, not seeing anything like that....

You dont have the eBux Setting enabled for --> Points For Attachments Enabled?

Did you upload the images/estore folder to your site and if you view the eStore main page and in IE it shows a Red X, right click on the broken X image and choose Properties and verify that the path to the image file is uploaded to the right spot.

There is a slight issue to be worked in in v1.1.7 for the All Attachments Cost X Points, stay tuned!

i stated in an earlier post that the red "x"`s dont even exist, and that the filepath is correct, as per instructions...
all files in the UPLOAD folder were upped to the FTP as instructed.....

only thing i can think of, is this hack geared to install to a board where the file structure is www.yoursite.org/forum??

if thats so, it might be the prob, as mine is prefixed not with "forum", but with "board"???

ive eventried changing the image paths, so they have a FULL path, beginning with http://www. - instread of just images/estore

thanks for your help so far mate, really appreciate it

[CrazyShooter]

OMG! You wrote all that in a matter of 20 minutes.. Damn man, its little things like this that should make you hack of the century

[Gizmo5h1t3]

got the attachment purchase thing sorted...i think it was due to me having it enabled, but a value of "0" in the cost...ive changed this now.

now its just the images to get sorted, so i can get this working!!

all i get is...no images, and i keep getting told theres no history or something...lol

It should not have /images in any of the images links, it should have images/estore/blah.png, which makes it use the default folder of where the vB is installed to. Maybe some of the image links need to have "DIR . " infront of them too, I'll look into that. And the Red X should show up in u r using Internet Explorer, if u r using firefox, it wont show up. Check in Internet Explorer and look at the location of the Red X to check it out and I'll look into adding a "DIR" to the images displayed.

Crazy: LoL Hack of the century.

EDIT: The more I think about it, DIR will not work as its a full /home/blah path to the file and not the http:// path to the file, I'll have to add the vboption path to the forums maybe, if it is indeed the issue. I've got the forums installed http://www.ps2hits.com/forums/ and it works there, as well as http://forums.cmgsccc.com and it works there too. So I dont know what the issue really is.

I have this running on my test-site,I've even managed to integrate ebux into my existing Arcade "Points To Play/Jackpots" system!

Then you do not have any forums that you are Unable to View at that time, and you do not have any forums that require a password. It auto searches thru the forum cache to be sure the user NEEDS access before showing the forums so they wont lose their points by buying something they dont need.


I have two forums that uses passwords. The user is into the allowed usergroups, he just dont has the password. I will play with the settings again, but for me it would make sense if eStore wouldn't tell the users, that there are no forums he can buy access to, because there are two ;) I hope i understood this feature correct.

attachments dont seem to work, unless I gotta turn it on someplace? I logged in my admin username, set the price, then logged out and I logged in with a different username, but I could download it for free. turn on button maybe?

ok have installed this and works great EXCEPT.... ive set it so it costs 50 credits to download but it dont work it still lets you download even though you do not have enough cash, and doesnt take any money off you
any ideas?

You are not understanding this, Buy Forum Access does not work for Password Protected Forums. The user has to goto Buy Forum Password to buy a password for a forum.

I dont know how they accomplished it but one way (which I doubt it was cuz its to time consuming) was in opera - open a new tab for each thread view or something like that so they make a thread and do that.

[JsnakeJ]

I believe that when you remove gifts it messes up ribbons for you aswell. Not positive but I think you should look into it.

[RDX1]

Also, when one of my users visits the store, he can view everything but the options to purchase, he can see his history, richest members, bought items.

Everyone else can see it fine, and with his permission I logged into his account and had the problem. I assume it's a problem with his account?

[voleibolmurcia]

A little request for a coder o someone who knows well php o whatever :S

I would like in memberinfo only appears the item, not the messagge and user sender.

How do i do it?

[caimakale]

I believe that when you remove gifts it messes up ribbons for you aswell. Not positive but I think you should look into it.
I just tested this and had no problems with it. The ribbons and gifts use tables independent of each other. Even the info stored in the user table are in seperate columns. What happened when you deleted a gift?

Removeable Items Are Refundable? No
but members still receive refunds.

ex. Glow Username

May I suggest an attachment feature?

Downloaders pay X points per attachment, AND uploaders only receive one third (or some percentage) of X points per attachment.

Maybe points per attachment depends on file size too. That would be cool ;)

It would be nice if a member who referred another member would get some extra points, if the referred member is quite active on the forums (has a lot of posts).
Is it possible to add that?

Seem to have a problem with the lottery so I've missed something. It says "You do not have enough points to perform this action."
I've installed this on two boards get exactly the same problem.

Can I make one suggestion. If you update templates could you please add a update.txt in your release out laying what template were updated and what code needs to be replaced or changed from previous installs.
Cheers

EDIT:
OK I see where people are getting confused.

The items are listed as free, no where does it say that a weekly or daily ticket cost 500 or 1000 points. Only just noticed the ticket price when looking through manage lotterys.
Think this needs to be fixed.

I think this is the same problem i've had.. I have my usergroups as different colors, and when these members go to buy username color,, it shows as purchased, but no color is changed.. If I remove the color in usergroups, the usernames color will be as purchased..

is there a note on this that I've missed in all these pages ??

in postbit find

<if condition="$post['usertitle']">
delete everything inbetween and replace with this

ok i messed it up. should i have had an upload folder before? well i didnt. and now the images r all wrong cause im trying to delete it from the first time i uploaded it. should i be doing this?? or was i right the first time to upload the contents without the folder?

thanks

A quick question on upgrading this fantastic, totally awesome hack :)

Does the upgrade affect the existing data? Are member points rest?

Also, does the upgrade alter any existing non-eBux/eStore templates?
Specifically postbit/legacy

Thanks for the great work an this ... it is absolutly the best hack we have.

[Hornstar]

NOTE: MORE store options are still coming.

What else is there to add lol, I think this pretty much has everything.

No upgrading doesn't affect it. The only way to lose points is to uninstall it which is an option in the drop down menu next to the hacks name.

The upgrade and install won't affect your normal vbulletin templates (like postbit, memberinfo, etc.). It will however reinstall it's templates which are the estore_* group. So if you made changes to estore_main, you will have to revert it to get it to work.

In one of the latest upgrades, there was a change to the code that needs to be inserted into postbit & postbit legacy. These require changing the code manually.

Hope that helps.

You should upload the files inside the uploads folder. Not the folder itself. I don't want to say you shouldn't have an uploads folder because I don't know how your site/server are setup, but in a normal vBulletin install, there is no upload folder in the forum directory.

Try again uploading those files & folders inside the uploads folder only. :)

[dxguru]

Hope that helps.
I certainly does. I'm off to upgrade feeling a lot more easy now.
Thanks caimakale :)

Did you upload all the files in the Upload folder (overwriting the old of course) and then import the new product .xml overwriting the old one?

If you did upload the new files, did you upload the files to your forums directory? (It looks like your forums directory is /forums right?)

[dxguru]

This was actually before I upgraded (good timing huh?)

I did the upgrade anyway in the hope it would fix the problem ... nope.
I disabled the eStore ... no change
I disabled eBux and the site works again
I enabled eStore and the site still works
I enable eBux and it breaks

Any suggestions?

I remembered a problem similar to yours in the past with someone else. Do a couple things for me. Chances are there aren't many accounts with the problem. I am assuming you purchased something with an expiration date, like immunity. Go into the AdminCP >> eStore Options >> Clear User History and clear the history. Also AdminCP >> eStore Options >> Rebuild Datastore and reubuild the datastore. See if that works first, if so then great, if not let me know, there are a few more things we can try.

[vietkieu_cz]

Your usergroup does not have permission to purchase eStore Options.
??? Where to allow????????????????????

[caimakale]

Your usergroup does not have permission to purchase eStore Options.

There are two places to set usergroup options for eStore.

AdminCP >> eStore Options >> Manage Categories. In there you can set alot of your usergroups.

Also go to AdminCP >> Usergroups >> Usergroup Manager and go into each usergroup and set the options in there as well.

Cool ... what I did was manually delete just my history field from the database, re-enabled eBux and everything was fine.

So now my question is ... how can I fix this so that expiring items still expire? (as this is what seems to have been the problem)

I probably have a couple of days before this starts happening to my members.

[voleibolmurcia]

A little request for a coder o someone who knows well php o whatever :S

I would like in memberinfo only appears the item, not the messagge and user sender.

How do i do it?

Anyone could help me? Thanks :o

I'm having an odd error...

I'm getting this message for bumping and debumping threads

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

I looked in estore settings, looked in the hread bumping options, forum permissions, usergroup permissions, and still can't find where to fix this...

[designBox]

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?

This sounds really relevant to me as well.
Was a feature already implemented to fight again this?

Anyway, i installed this hack a couple of days ago and actually none of birthday's users were implemented by 100 points. Did i miss something ?

[Rickie3]

Cool ... what I did was manually delete just my history field from the database, re-enabled eBux and everything was fine.

So now my question is ... how can I fix this so that expiring items still expire? (as this is what seems to have been the problem)

I probably have a couple of days before this starts happening to my members.i struck the exact same thing earlier with 2 of my members,i cleared everything and all was good for them,i'm wondering if it was the latest update as i did that earlier today,maybe everything had to cleared for the update to work properly???

[Stunner Inc.]

There are two places to set usergroup options for eStore.

AdminCP >> eStore Options >> Manage Categories. In there you can set alot of your usergroups.

Also go to AdminCP >> Usergroups >> Usergroup Manager and go into each usergroup and set the options in there as well.

I did both of those and I still can't get in. Any suggestions are greatly needed.

[OAndrea]

I uploaded all the new stuff and now it is like everyone is immune from everything. Not exactly sure why. I set the immunity thing to registered members only(that is not a main usergroup on my board) but everyone remains immune.

[mikeylikesitz]

wasnt there a thread for addons and feature requests somewhere for ebux/estore?

[JBMoney]

Questions:

To use eBux avatar & profile picture features effectively, do I, disable avatars and profile pictures in "User Picture Options"?

To use eBux signature features effectively, do I disallow signatures in "User Profile Options"?

[JBMoney]

More Questions (sorry):

To use eBux invisibility features effectively, do I set "Can 'See' Users Who Have Chosen to be Invisible While Online" and "Can Set Self to Invisible Mode" for each usergroup?

Followup to previous:

Do I also need to set "Can Use Signatures" and "Can Use Custom Title" to no for each usergroup to use those features?

[CrazyShooter]

Well, if you want that option to work then you will, i mean why would your users buy an avatar if they can just go to the usercp and change it for free :-p

EDIT: If you want all of these options to work, then disable them in your admincp.. Or your members can just change them in the user cp for Free..

[VBUsers]

i know support is great on here, im just bumping this up. i still dont know which to do. thanks


the folders are just a directory of where they need to match up with on your server. you can upload the folders to your forum directory with no problem. just upload the php files in scII and the images in binary format.

[RDX1]

I'll take it then no one has had the issue where one user can not use the store.

Everyone can use it fine, with the permission of the user I logged into his account and EVERYTHING but the option to buy items were there. The entire table for buying options were gone.

Yet on my account it works fine, on others accounts it works fine.

for this option you need to enable the forum. go into your forum manager and edit the forum you want the bump and debump otion to be allowed to.

[VBUsers]

Your usergroup does not have permission to purchase eStore Options.
??? Where to allow????????????????????


go to

admincp----> eStore Options ---> Manage Options and edit each one by one and allow the usergroups you want to have access to these. there not set by default to custom usergroups if you have any.

[RDX1]

you have to enable them in the category option one by one for all your usergroups.

But someone with the same usergroup as them CAN view and use the store?

maybe he has a secondry group and they can access the store

[caimakale]

But someone with the same usergroup as them CAN view and use the store?
If you are having a problem with one user where other users in his usergroup can get access but he can't then here is what I would do.

Go to AdminCP >> Users and find the user with the problems. I double check which usergroups he is a part of, and then at the bottom of the page, check and make sure that you are giving him access to the store.

Check with the user and find out what browser they are using and what version it is. Make sure it's not an old browser that doesn't support .png images.

[XanTrax]

Any word on the exploit for getting points and how to fix it?

[caimakale]

Questions:

To use eBux avatar & profile picture features effectively, do I, disable avatars and profile pictures in "User Picture Options"?

To use eBux signature features effectively, do I disallow signatures in "User Profile Options"?
To edit the avatars permissions, you need to go to AdminCP >> Avatars >> Avatar Manager when in there you will see all of the categories and on the right hand side you will see "Avatar Permissions", go in there and edit the usergroups for all of your categories. When you do that all the avatars will then disappear out of their usercp and show up in the store when they want to purchase one.

Hitting preview over and over?

[RDX1]

whats the name of the user? is it numbers ? whats different with his account that you see unique?

No, I am stumped. His username is just a name with letters, nothing unusual.

He has the same primary and secondary group as others that can view the store. He has access to the store (I turned it on and off)

He has tried it in both Firefox and IE. I asked him if he would change his password and send it to me to check it out, he did and it was the same for me as it was for him. it's not his browser or system.

It's weird, usually I can figure these things out on my own, but this one I can't..

Hitting preview on my site doesn't give them any points. I just tried it and hit the preview button about 20 times and my point count is still the same.

well since its only this one user and you cant seem to find the issue. why do you try creating a new user example test 1 then merge your user that has the issues to that one and see if it fixes the error. after you see it does then rename the user to his old name and test it again. hope this works. if you get another error then you will have to find a fix but ive had issues like this where its just 1 user and it never happens again. let me know

When you do that all the avatars will then disappear out of their usercp and show up in the store when they want to purchase one.

Thanks that was the missing piece. I gave up and was going to disable the default avatar options altogether.

That said, the selection process for a deafult avatar is pretty tedious, so I may disable it anyway.

Won't that reset some settings? He's a long standing member with paid subscriptions.

it should set everything from the merging user account to the test 1. with all defaults. post count , etc.

if you want i can test it with you. aim me at lnlsupport and i will post on a test user and you can do the same on another and well merge then to see what we get. im sure everything rolls over.

[caimakale]

Did this get skipped over?
I can't recreate it, I have purchased multiple gifts in 1.1.7 with the pm enabled and all works great.

After looking at some of the code, you need to check a couple things. First make sure that the "from" user is a valid user. Set this in AdminCP >> eStore Optoins >> Manage Options and then look for "Default PM Userid to send PM's from" towards the bottom. Make sure you have a userid (number) and not a username (name) in there. Also verify that the userid is a valid one. So if you want the pm's to be sent from you, set your userid # in there, save it, and try to purchase again.

[QueenBee]

You should upload the files inside the uploads folder. Not the folder itself. I don't want to say you shouldn't have an uploads folder because I don't know how your site/server are setup, but in a normal vBulletin install, there is no upload folder in the forum directory.

Try again uploading those files & folders inside the uploads folder only. :)

thanks so much its back! whew! :)

[caimakale]

So if you want the pm's to be sent from you, set your userid # in there, save it, and try to purchase again.
After looking at it more, this field isn't used when sending gifts. It looks like it's running into an error constructing the pm that is sent to the person receiving the gift.

Are you trying to purchase for multiple people at the same time? Are you filling in all fields? Are you spelling the name correctly that you are purchasing for? Try their userid instead of their name when purchasing and see what happens.

I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but does the user you are purchasing the gift for allow pm's?

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

hey CMX,


How can i cut out this extra page( 'Do you want to buy this attachment' prepurchase page) on the cost per download and just have the points taken away after the refresh??

Why would u want to remove it? Weren't u the one who requested the user should know how much the attachment will cost before it takes their points? lol

was gonna ask a similar question to lowandloud inc

or could you make it so it automatically redirected you to the original thread after purcase?

You cant do that because it actually downloads the attachment, you cant redirect after it has sent a 'header(...blah)' and sent the download.

updated, and when i check the filepaths....theyre .png, and guesss what....NOTHING!!

The new files inside the 1.1.7 Zip file are all PNG files, if you have uploaded them, they should be viewable.

hmmm...for some reason, sigs are not showing in the postbit when I purchase. The option to buy sigs shows in the USERCP, but I go in there and update my sig, and still can't see it in postbit.

Anyone else having this problem?

It does save the signature, if you to to edit it again it shows it?

can i just confirm a really noobie query?
ive read thru bout 50 odd pages of this thread, and searched for it, but can someone just confirm the idea of the lottery please??

is it a case of, random pulled out of a hat that confirms the winner???

any help would be apppreciated.

Yes, it counts the total number of tickets and generates a random number from 0 to that number and pulls that entry as the winner.

Can I get some help with the settings?

I'm trying to make it so somebody only goes .01 points per a new reply and .02 per a new thread. But it seems like these settings just don't work. I want to make it hard to get 1 point.

Set those settings in the Forum Settings for each forum. Then in eBux Options make sure the multipliers are 1.

Any way to fix this glow problem? It covers the online image, ect.

Great hack btw!

That is how its supposed to work. If you didnt have it cover the online image it would push that image down to the next line due to the glow feature being displayed as display:block;

I believe that when you remove gifts it messes up ribbons for you aswell. Not positive but I think you should look into it.

Not likely as it does not even know the ribbons table exists, or modify anything other than estore_gifts and the estoregifts table entry.

Also, when one of my users visits the store, he can view everything but the options to purchase, he can see his history, richest members, bought items.

Everyone else can see it fine, and with his permission I logged into his account and had the problem. I assume it's a problem with his account?

Have you modify any of the estore templates? If so, a revert may be required.

A little request for a coder o someone who knows well php o whatever :S

I would like in memberinfo only appears the item, not the messagge and user sender.

How do i do it?

Just modify the template edit for MEMBERINFO, its that easy. Where it says $gift[message] remove that part and fix it up to your liking.

I ran a lottery the other day....a daily lottery....and when I review previous lottery winners it says there are none recorded yet.

Are you certain that someone bought a ticket for it? If noone buys a ticket, it will not log anything.

I'm sorry.. I am an idiot.. I can NOT get my glow to work.. Right now it is making people's arcade trophy in the post bit glow instead.. Can someone look at this and maybe see if they catch the problem?

I can provide more if this isnt enough

<if condition="$show['avatar'] AND (($avatarthress>0 AND $post[warning_level]<=$avatarthress) OR $avatarthress==0)"><td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td></if>
<td nowrap="nowrap">

<if condition="$post['glowcolor']"><div id="postmenu_$post[postid]" style="filter:Glow(Color=$post[glowcolor],Strength=$post[glowstrength]); width:100%;"><else /><div id="postmenu_$post[postid]"></if>
<if condition="$show['profile']">
<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a><!-- v3 Arcade --> <if condition="$post['arcadeawards']"><a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$vboptions[arcadeimages]/trophy.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="$vbphrase[arcade_champion]" border="0" /></a></if>
<!-- /v3 Arcade -->

Thats how the glow feature works, to avoid pushing stuff down because of the display:block; like I explained a little bit above.

Removeable Items Are Refundable? No
but members still receive refunds.

ex. Glow Username

----------------------------

May I suggest an attachment feature?

Downloaders pay X points per attachment, AND uploaders only receive one third (or some percentage) of X points per attachment.

Maybe points per attachment depends on file size too. That would be cool ;)

Thank you, CMX_CMGSCCC!

There was one spot it didnt check the removable flag, it will be fixed in v1.1.8

As far as the attachment options, I'll add them to the requests list.

Wow, so many updates^^
Just upgraded to 1.1.5, now there have been 2 new updates^^
Thanks for the hack, I really enjoy it :)

Feature suggestion:
It would be nice if a member who referred another member would get some extra points, if the referred member is quite active on the forums (has a lot of posts).
Is it possible to add that?

Yes, but could be server intensive, I'm looking into a scenario though.

can I as the admin see the store history of other users? that would be a nice feature.

As of right now, no, but I guess I could add a link to that in the User Profile for the next version.

Daily Lottery is set wrong. Its set to be for a week and not a day.

Yeah, the XML file had a value of TIMENOW + 604800, set the date value to a 1, then goto the Scheduled Tasks and run the one for the lottery.

Seem to have a problem with the lottery so I've missed something. It says "You do not have enough points to perform this action."
I've installed this on two boards get exactly the same problem.

Can I make one suggestion. If you update templates could you please add a update.txt in your release out laying what template were updated and what code needs to be replaced or changed from previous installs.
Cheers

EDIT:
OK I see where people are getting confused.

The items are listed as free, no where does it say that a weekly or daily ticket cost 500 or 1000 points. Only just noticed the ticket price when looking through manage lotterys.
Think this needs to be fixed.

Soon as you hit purchase on a lottery type, like Weekly Lottery, Daily Lottery, it takes you to another confirmation page that tells you the price and then you can buy the ticket from that second confirmation page.

Both my lotteries are set for a week. The daily one is set to close the same time as the weekly one.

Every time I try and change the "Ending Time" it changes the date to 1969 or something.

How do I get it to change to daily?

Just change it to 1 for now, then run Cron Job for Process Lottery and it should draw a winner and fix it.

i know support is great on here, im just bumping this up. i still dont know which to do. thanks

All of the files/folders inside of the UPLOAD folder should be uploaded to the same location where your forum's global.php file is located.

A quick question on upgrading this fantastic, totally awesome hack :)

Does the upgrade affect the existing data? Are member points rest?

Also, does the upgrade alter any existing non-eBux/eStore templates?
Specifically postbit/legacy

Thanks for the great work an this ... it is absolutly the best hack we have.

As long as u do not uninstall, the points, settings, history, etc should stay the same. It does not alter any templates, u have to do the template edits manually.

NOTE: MORE store options are still coming.


What else is there to add lol, I think this pretty much has everything.

I have about 20 to 30 more options coming in a future update, stay tuned!

For the feature of X points to download, can I set it such that it require X points to download all attachments other than images? Because I dont want my members to be paying to be opening images in my threads..

If you set the images as displayed inline, it shouldnt charge points I think, needs to be confirmed yet.

HELP ... just went to the site to upgrade and found this meaasge ...

The requested URL /estore.php was not found on this server.

It's trying to access /estore.php?do=expireoptions when it should be /forum/estore.php?do=expireoptions

Whole site is currently unavailable ... what can I do?????

Sounds like an expiring issue is still around, can you PM me the contents of your estore_history field for the username you are using?

Cool ... what I did was manually delete just my history field from the database, re-enabled eBux and everything was fine.

So now my question is ... how can I fix this so that expiring items still expire? (as this is what seems to have been the problem)

I probably have a couple of days before this starts happening to my members.

I need to know which option had expired so I can look into this further.

I'm having an odd error...

I'm getting this message for bumping and debumping threads

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

I looked in estore settings, looked in the hread bumping options, forum permissions, usergroup permissions, and still can't find where to fix this...

Its under each forum settings. Admin CP, goto forums, then choose Edit Forum, at the bottom it will list all of the permission that are available for that forum, open/close/bump/debump, etc.. Enable the ones you want.

This sounds really relevant to me as well.
Was a feature already implemented to fight again this?

Anyway, i installed this hack a couple of days ago and actually none of birthday's users were implemented by 100 points. Did i miss something ?

There is an extra field in the user table that checks when the user last received a birthday present. If its now > 364 days, it will not give them points. (I used 364 to verify it could overlap by a day properly.)

I did both of those and I still can't get in. Any suggestions are greatly needed.

I need to know what option is not expiring properly to fix this problem.

Questions:

To use eBux avatar & profile picture features effectively, do I, disable avatars and profile pictures in "User Picture Options"?

To use eBux signature features effectively, do I disallow signatures in "User Profile Options"?

Yes and yes.

More Questions (sorry):

To use eBux invisibility features effectively, do I set "Can 'See' Users Who Have Chosen to be Invisible While Online" and "Can Set Self to Invisible Mode" for each usergroup?

Followup to previous:

Do I also need to set "Can Use Signatures" and "Can Use Custom Title" to no for each usergroup to use those features?

You disable those features to make it so they are only available for purchase for that usergroup that you disabled the settings for.

I'll take it then no one has had the issue where one user can not use the store.

Everyone can use it fine, with the permission of the user I logged into his account and EVERYTHING but the option to buy items were there. The entire table for buying options were gone.

Yet on my account it works fine, on others accounts it works fine.

Did you revert the estore_main template as well?

But someone with the same usergroup as them CAN view and use the store?

I'd have to log into the Admin CP to trace this down further. If you are willing to do that, PM me the info needed. I would also need the Admin function to 'Can Administer Plugins' to properly debug it.

I get this when trying to purchase a gift.

Have u updated to v1.1.7, the v1.1.7 had a fix to where it shouldnt send the PM if an error was found.

I'm pretty sure that was fixed some time ago.

[caimakale]

No luck on the sig, CMX. I edited, saved, and changed the sig several times. It shows up fine on the edit signature page, but nothing in postbit.
The signature shouldn't end up in the postbit should it? Usually it goes under the post, and the only time it is displayed is when the user makes a new post. The signature won't show up on old posts the user made unless the user had a different signature when they made the post.

[lordofgun]

I posted several times with the new sig after i bought access...no dice.

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

No luck on the sig, CMX. I edited, saved, and changed the sig several times. It shows up fine on the edit signature page, but nothing in postbit.

Found the issue, will be fixed in v1.1.8

The signature shouldn't end up in the postbit should it? Usually it goes under the post, and the only time it is displayed is when the user makes a new post. The signature won't show up on old posts the user made unless the user had a different signature when they made the post.

There was a slight issue that will be resolved in v1.1.8

A temporary fix until v1.1.8 comes out is to add a plugin to postbit_display_start and put in the following code:


// check if this user is allowed to use a signature
if ($this->post['otherflags'] & 8)
{
// verify they have a signature set
if ($this->post['signature'] != '')
{
// adjust some flags so it will show
$this->post['showsignature'] = true;
$this->cache['perms'][$this->post['userid']]['genericpermissions'] |= $this->registry->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canusesignature'];
}
}


If u do this, remember when u upgrade to v1.1.8, u would have to delete the plugin u added as it will add this plugin automatically when u import the v1.1.8 XML file when its released.

If you delete a post (either soft or hard delete), then the points that person got for those posts still remain - is a fix for this coming?

Okay, trying to figure out settings for lottery but numb brain today.

Want to add a new lottery that will be twice a week, would like it on Wednesday and Saturday recurring, is this possible? Or would you need to make one lottery for Wednesday and another one for Saturday. What would be the time active settings then for Wednesday? and Saturday?

Thanks!!

That is how all points system works. It would be too many queries to remove points for all of the users that had posted in the thread.

Right now its tedious at best to do that. You have to set the unix time stamp for the lottery to be over on wednesday halfway thru the day, and then set the time active for the lottery to be 86400 * 3 + 43200... lol

It needs a better system, I know, I've got that on the todo list already, not sure when I'll have time to write it up though.

yes i did request it and i thank you for all your hard work. i didnt know you were going to add a second step. what i had in mind is put a message next to the attachement that says

(example) to download this attachment will cost you (1) point

or

(1) point to Download this attachement

and after they click on lets say 4 attachements , it will take a way the points automatically with out the second option.

Reventing the template worked, wonder why it was a problem for just him? All I did was edit the welcome text, now I use the phrase instead.

Anyways, great hack. I voted for hack of the month. Using this I will be able to offer more items then just listed by adding creativity. Having users "donate" to a specified user account I made and in return I will manually add features they "bought".

Should add more content to my forum.

I am working on a new item and noticed that you have a column in the estoreitems table called changeaways. Is this supposed to be there or was it a typo that was corrected, but the wrong column left? Off the top of my head I can't think of what would use this column.

CMX -

I am working on a new item and noticed that you have a column in the estoreitems table called changeaways. Is this supposed to be there or was it a typo that was corrected, but the wrong column left? Off the top of my head I can't think of what would use this column.

Should have been changealways I believe.

[gwhooooey]

How would I go about adding a Change font colour option?.. So the person's font stays as that colour unless you change it.

CMX_CMGSCCC - There obviously is an exploit if members on my board and apparently one or two other peoples boards here members can/are doing something to get 50,000 points in less then an hour or so.

That one is there also and is where my flags are set, that's why I was wondering the purpose of changeaways.

Can you question the members who are doing this and find out how they are accomplishing it?

[lordofgun]

changeaways was a typo. do a thread search for it.

I just installed for the first time and I'm using ucash as the points system since I had that installed and users have lots built up.

I gave myself permission to use the store and went into the estor and saw all of the items including the bank and glow and all that but there is nowhere to click to purchase any of the items.

Also, where do I put the points into the bank?

GREAT mod by the way from what I've seen on other sites. Got my vote already :)

Did you go back into the store where you bought it originally and remove it? You can always go to the AdminCP >> User area and delete it from your profile in there.

Ive asked them and they wont tell me so for now I have just created another usergroup and made it "Banned from eStore" so even if they exploit it they cant get all these points then distribute them. They wont tell me or anyone else and only 2 people know it but I would prefer that this exploit for getting points be checked out or something. My forums userbase is about 14-30 yrs of age mostly in the range of 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 year old people that are pretty knowledgable in C++, Assembly, PHP, HTML, and other things that people of their age shouldnt know.

It's kind of hard to fix an exploit that we don't know about. You don't have to set the usergroup thing, you can just go into their account and disable their access to the store.

First of all which version are you using? In 1.1.7 you can go into their user account in your admincp and disable their access to the store.

Just modify the template edit for MEMBERINFO, its that easy. Where it says $gift[message] remove that part and fix it up to your liking.


The code to insert in memberinfo template is that:


<if condition="$vboptions['ebux_enabled']">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

$userinfo[gifts]

I didnt found any $gift[message].

I dont understad the 99% of php code. I think the "trick" is in the $userinfo[gifts] that may be the phrase o whatever that shows the image, sender and messagge.

I only want to show the image.

I set in Admin CP "Max Gifts Displayed Other Than User Profile" is 10, but it still displays 20 (default). Is there anyway to adjust it the right way ? And are the gifts in User profile can be hidden by clicking on the eye button (like ushop before) or something so it won't show or display out side or users can display what gift they want to be displayed by themselve? Thanks in advance for all the answers and helps.

Member clicks on attachment, a popup comes up giving them the option of purchasing attachment for set price, yes or no. they click yes, they veiw the attachment and it automatically takes the points, they click no, the popup just goes away and back to the page. Maybe even do this via AJAX?

Also, woul dit be possible to have it where once a member clicks an attachment once, they do not have to pay for it again?

In the ebux Store permissions portion of the Usergroup Manager for Administrator Usergroup. After giving myself permission to use the store, I still can't see any links near any items to buy them.

You might also have to set the permissions in AdminCP >> eStore Options >> Manage Categories. In each category are permissions you also need to set.

BTW, your avatar is very fitting for you, but man does it freak me the hell out. :eek:

If a member has two different people buy them the same gift, it only shows up once in their postbit. Is there a way to make each gift appear individually, even if it's the same gift?

[Exitilus]

The gift should show up in the profile if you have more than 1 of that gift. For example, if someone gave u 2 beer's, if u delete only 1 of them, the first beer will show up in the postbit as it only lists 1 of each item in the postbit.

Actually this is when as a Admin. I delete someone elses Gift.

IE ... I gave someone a Gift. Then Deleted it by going to their profile. When I did that. It doesn't show up on their profile anymore, but it shows up still in the postbit with no way to remove.

It's because gifts are stored in two different areas. I think this is the interim way of storing things until a better solution is worked out.

[caimakale]

Posting that BEFORE an update is a really bad idea.
That's the way microsoft thinks. Microsoft likes to wait until the problem is really big before releasing a fix. It's not until code gets posted publicly that they finally get around to fixing something.

I know CMX isn't microsoft by any means, just pointing out that posting the problem isn't a bad thing.

Unfortunately it needs to be posted. If it is being exploited by something that each of us as admins can disable, then we need to know. We need to be able to stop it on our sites.

The person who said that you can sit and preview over and over did us all a favor. And so does anybody else who finds a point exploit and posts it.

I've upgraded my install to v1.17 and I have a question on the lottery system.

How do I change the end date of the Weekly Lottery?

After enabling the option and testing a ticket purchase with a user it gave an estimated end time of the lottery to be the same day (today, Monday) at 10:00 PM. The Time Active setting is 604800.

As info, I do not have the Daily Lottery option enabled at all.

I'm sure I'm overlooking something if you can point me in the right direction.

how hard would it be to add ebux support to rpg inferno ? or visa versa ?

[lazytown]

I've seen this asked, with a few nonspecific answers...

But is there any way forums can automatically (or even manually) give points to users that contribute $$? VB already has contibuton/subscriber feature built in -- couldn't it give users points somehow through that once they donate? It doesn't need to integrate directly with Papal or anything.

Great Mod!

You'll have to modify the plugin for member_complete to accomplish that as well as the template edit. I wish I had more time to explain, but look at the plugin for member_complete and you should see some stuff like <td>$gift[message]</td>, etc..

After enabling the option and testing a ticket purchase with a user it gave an estimated end time of the lottery to be the same day (today, Monday) at 10:00 PM. The Time Active setting is 604800.

As info, I do not have the Daily Lottery option enabled at all.

I'm sure I'm overlooking something if you can point me in the right direction.

It's a UNIX timestamp value, for now thats all there is to edit it. I'm looking into a better way so a non-coder user can updated it easier, but it will take some time to figure out a way to do it easier.

I have an issue with the Lottery.

When I purchase a ticket, regardless of if it is Daily or Weekly, the confirm screen shows the same Lottery Ends Approximately: date (which is the weekly date)

There is a bug in the XML import script for v1.1.7: To fix the lottery daily time, goto Manage Lotteries, for the end date for the Daily Lottery, enter the value 1, then goto Scheduled Tasks and click on Run Now next to the Process eLottery cron task and it will be fixed to work daily.

how hard would it be to add ebux support to rpg inferno ? or visa versa ?

Assuming RPG Inferno has a variable where u can change the points table field, it would be hella easy. If not, maybe u could try changing the points table field for ebux and see if it "likes" RPG Inferno enough to work properly :)

I've seen this asked, with a few nonspecific answers...

But is there any way forums can automatically (or even manually) give points to users that contribute $$? VB already has contibuton/subscriber feature built in -- couldn't it give users points somehow through that once they donate? It doesn't need to integrate directly with Papal or anything.

Great Mod!
Thanks

Actually that should be possible by adding a plugin to the plugin named --> paidsub_build

I'll see about adding a setting for this as well, but the points will always be the same, no matter what subscription was chosen I think, if thats ok, I'll go ahead and add this feature.

The only thing I would like to see is withdrawl tax from the bank.

But still a kick ass hack. :)

[BLazeD1]

Why dont you share it with us? We are all developers and dont need an exploit... It may be something I want to try to protect against...

Because then everyone here would exploit it. As above, the author knows about it know.

$vbulletin->userinfo[points] or userinfo[points] in navbar isn't working for me. $vbulletin->userinfo[points] gives me "Array" while userinfo[points] gives me a blank.

[lairnoc]

ok l2 requests don't know if it was requested yet

but here i go

1. Is it possible to make an option for a pm when some-one tried to steal successfully or not

2. Is it possible to make the estore options in rows and collums instead of squares (don't know how to explain in english.) but then you won't have to scrol so much.

sort of forum home view i hope you understand what i mean with this...


And again thnx for all the support it really made my forum more active :)

[RDX1]

It's not given people that have had their birthday today any points, nor yesterday

Try $bbuserinfo[points] and see if that works.

1) U mean send a PM to the user who they attempted to steal from? Yes, but if they try to steal 100 times in a row
it would flood the person would messages...

2) As far as the look goes, almost anything is possible, design a template for it and PM it to me and I'll incorporate it if it looks much better. (And do not take any templates from any other hacks, be original please.)

1. it could be an option that you could enable/disable :)

no-one wanna steal 100 times on my forum they will be broke very quickly :)

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

I found an issue, it will be sorted in v1.1.8.

Yes and no, could do an option for it to be on/off, but also if the thief only tries to steal 1 or 2 points at a time JUST to flood someone with messages....

whoot congrats man ;)

[NoRespect]

Unfortunately it needs to be posted. If it is being exploited by something that each of us as admins can disable, then we need to know. We need to be able to stop it on our sites.

An exploit I've seen on my board...

A user would post the max characters allowed in a post, then edit it with his real post.

Oh, and CMX, this is your notice of that. :)

Another request ...

a user earns points for uploading a profile photo but gets charged loads for removing it.

To prevent spam, changing the photo does nothing.

Thanks for the feedback about the UNIX timestamp.

I found a small issue I'd like to report.

By Default...
Weekly Lottery is showing the Daily Lottery End Time.
Daily Lottery is using the Weekly Lottery End Time.

This will probably be mended in the next update :P

[rinkrat]

i figured out why the links don't work for me. I was using IE 7.0 beta. It's not compatible. Works great on Firefox.

[Holidazed]

First, let me say "I love this addon"!! Thank you.

Is there a way to change the name of the points from "points" to "whatever I want to call them?

[Zowners]

I think I have found another bug. When adding reputation to a user, if you set it to give points for that, it doesn't work.

Also, when ever I try that userinfo['points'], it gives me this error

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/artisans/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3537) : eval()'d code on line 48

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

However, if I take out the '' around the points, it doesn't say that, it just doesn't work. Am I supposed to close it off somehow? I got that to work with the bbuserinfo[points]

Anyway, I was wondering if there is any way to make it so that if a user changes his user title, he can do anything, like use bb code, italic it, etc. I don't like the fact that they have to buy 3 different things to do something that should be done in 1.

[jojo77]

It works on my test forum at http://www.ps2hits.com/forums/

Does the user have any usergroups that say "overrides settings" enabled?


Where do I find that? I have checked everything else. Access masks is enabled and when I go to that users access masks, I see that access to that forum has been set to no.

My default setting for access to that forum is set to yes. That is ok right? Because the user access masks that gets set to no after the ban access purchase should override it correct?

REUWEST - can there be a facility so the winners of the lottery can be notified at all?

just asking, as i won the daily one onmy place yesterday, but i cant see any notification anywhere on the board....

PM would be good, altho others then wouldnt know who had won it.
mebbe something that could be set up so a standard post would automatically go into a forum of admins choosing??...(ie..in a lottery section)....giving date, lottery name, and winning amount?

just a thought.

[Zowners]

Question, what would be the phrase to find the payment for threads and posts per forum. I was thinking something like

$bbforuminfo[points_thread] or something. But I am pretty sure that is wrong.

Go to points Options - Buy Lottery Ticket - above the drop down menu you should see Previous Lottery Winners, clicking on that brings up the lottery winners page.

Oh, and CMX, this is your notice of that. :)
This is known and has no real fix. The only way around it is to turn off the points per character or if CMX codes in a "Max Points for Points per Character" that you can set in the admincp. It will suck for those that truly do have a long post, but for those trying to scheme more points, they would probably get frustrated and give up if it was set to 5 or 10 points.

I also hope admins don't have that set any higher than .01 because if you do, you are just asking for trouble. I tested it with it set to .1 and had a very lengthy post that was legit and ended up with over 2000 points for the post.

[trackpads]

I just want to say thanks to the designers of this great project and everyone who is helping! My users love it!!

"CMX - Does administrator have the Usergroup Setting "Can Access eStore at all?" enabled to Yes?"

Yes admin settings are set for can access eStore at all, the same settings that I have also as the other admin. He can and has access to every part of the board, arcade, galley, petz, etc but cannot get into eStore.

Hey, i have done exactly that, its not to hard either.

Languages & Phrases > Search in Phrases >

Search for text: Points
Search in...: Phrase Text and Phrase Variable Name

Then change 'ebux_points' to what ever you want it to be
and same with 'ebux_total_points'

You will still need to change like estore item descriptions, so they say 'xxxxx' (where xxxxx = your currency field name you just changed) instead of 'points'.

Should work!:ermm:

[Zowners]

Is there any way in the store, to change it so that when it displays the price of an item, it doesn't just say "8". I want it to say 8 (point name).

Also, is there any way that I could get this?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

And I found a bug. I have it set so that adding reputation adds .01 points, but it doesn't add. Just thought I would point that out.

EDIT: I also just realized that if someone posts, and that posts gets deleted, they don't loose the points they gained from that.

[bashy]

Hi

I aint quite sure what to do here...

I thought i have sorted this so that i can use the ebux for VBookie

I would like to make a suggestion.

For Theft, have a theft limit options. Set the max amount that can be stolen. :)

What fix or workaround did other members utilize to get the PNG images to show up for users using MSIE as their browser of choice?

[caimakale]

PNG's show up just fine in IE for me. Make sure the user is using the latest version of IE (not beta 7 version) and that you have given them access.
