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

[Roxie]

Since the update images aren't showing in posts. There's just a link to the image.

Also, is there a way to make the history only viewable by certain usergroups...or so that you can only see YOUR history. Members don't want others to know they changed their avatar or stole from them.

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

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.

This should be rather easy to implement, but the hardest part is blocking any exploits with it, I'll look into it nonetheless.

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.

That will be fixed in the v1.1.8.

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.

LOL, a bug in a M$ product? NO NEVER!! :p

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?

Yes, simply change the phrase ebux_points to what you want it to be.

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



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.

U can add a new store option to give all 3 at once, add the exact same thing as bold username for the add new option in the admin cp, then add up all of the "Set Values" for the username options u want to give all at once and enter that value in the Set Value of your new option and boom, u have all 3-in-1 or whatever.

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?

It's somewhere in the Usergroup Settings, I forget what the option is exactly. I had the same problem on my vB at my company website where I had forums "hidden", but everyone could post everywhere due to some of the usergroups overriding others.

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.

The main page could show the top 5 lottery winners, but this will add a query too, unless I decide to store the top X winners into the datastore like the categories/whatnot, we'll see.

If you goto the lottery page it should now show a Previous Winners page.

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.

Most of the time its $foruminfo[ebux_perthread].

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.

I've fixed this exploit in v1.1.8 :)

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

Thanx for supporting and using eBS!

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.

I wonder if you change the user's usergroup does it update their permissions. Maybe its not changing the users permissions to the ones in the admin table properly? Anyone have any ideas?

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.

They wont lose points ever from deleting a post because there are too many userids in the post and that would be a huge query to have to worry about if you had 2000 posts in 1 thread....

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 am sure vbookie used ucash but i am now seeing vcash

I tried to do the uCash Integration but got this error...


Database error in vBulletin 3.5.3:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE forum SET ebux_perview=ucash_perview, ebux_perthread=ucash_perthread, ebux_perreply=ucash_perreply;

I am at a loss :(

Please help if you can

Looks like u didnt have ucash installed with the 3.5.0 version as it should have had that field.

I would like to make a suggestion.

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

Thats a good idea, I'll add that option in at a later point.

v1.1.8 is getting uploaded while u r reading this!!

-CMX

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

v1.1.8 Released:

1) Bugfix: Removal didnt check the flag if the user should receive a refund for some actions.
2) Bugfix: Change Signature didnt show in the postbit because permissions had to be 'modified' for it to show.
3) Admin Feature: Manage Options lists options by category now as well as in the proper display order inside each category.
4) OMFG PWN3D THE STORE LIKE A !*@#$@#$. There are now 109 eStore OPTIONS available for purchase!! TOO many to list here, so I'll just list the categories.
a) Generic Permission Options-Active By Default! (23 Options!)
b) Moderator Permission Options-NOT Active By Default! (23 Options!)
c) Administrator Permission Options-NOT Active By Defaul! (16 Options!)
5) Since I passed itemid 100, I had to increase the number of ID's for 3rd party addons, sorry if this breaks anything in your addon :(, I never thought I would break 100 Item ID's!!! The lowest ID it uses for 3rd party addons now when Adding a New Option is 501.
6) Can see User's History inside the Admin CP when viewing the user's info.
7) Bugfix: eStore Setting to limit amount of gifts to show in the postbit works properly now.
8) Bugfix: Typo in the action.primaryusergroup.php script now fixed.
9) Bugfix: Exploit hole was closed, thanx to the user who reported this, I will not list your name here in case people would want to send hate mail because they can't exploit the system anymore! hehe
10) Bugfix: Birthday cron condition was backwards, oops, it should function 100% proper now all of the time.
11) Admin Feature: Add New Option and Edit Option look more cleaned up now.
12) New eStore Item Table Field: This new field is so you can set settings for each individual store action to be used inside an action.whatever.php custom script. Take a look at Thief to see that the settings that used to be inside eStore Options, are now inside the Thief Item itself when you Manage Options and click on Thief.

ENJOY!

Running just fine, tnx another effecient and perfect update CMX! :) BTW gotta love those new buttons ;)

I have a question about the lottery. I had a weekly lottery set that should have picked a winner this morning but it didn't. Also I had my tickets set for 1000 points but I went to buy another one and it was something like 920 points. Is there a setting that reduces the cost after you buy so many?

[dirtycrow]

umm. . . 2 questions.

my first lottery was supposed to end at Lottery Ends Approximately: 02-20-2006, 04:52 PM

it appears no one won, however, when i go in to buy a new one it says Lottery Ends Approximately: 02-20-2006, 04:52 PM as if that date and time has not passed yet

ALSO, how do i set yup a daily lottery?

[creedmaniac]

so only the postbit template needs to be edited for 1.8? just making sure before i screw something up

[Colejo]

That's how mine is also dirtycrow.

[Retell]

Go and make sure that the lotto is running in your scheduled tasks, then run it. That should fix it :) At least that is what CMX told me :)

There is a discount setting for some usergroups, that will lower the cost of all items that are purchaseable.

Update to v1.1.8 and it will start working daily like it was supposed to.

ALSO: The times may be the time zone your server is setup for, not your current timezone so it may not have passed yet.

Sounds like a permission didnt get updated properly, thats weird, I've set a user to admin here and all was well, weird.

i'm guessing the only way to change the points/store name to something other than ebux/estore/points is to go in to the phrases, search for those terms...and manually edit every one of the error messages and everything?

There were two people who reported the bug :p. I was one (SO LIST ME! j/k) and the other one posted it and I forgot his name.


Also apparently there is an exploit as well that isnt really traceable through logs and etc. I will see what I can find out.

[lordofgun]

wow...great job on all the new features.

Just one more admin feature I'd like: ability for all users to give unlimited rep without having to spread it around or abide by the 24-hour rule. :D My members are clamoring for it.

After installing v1.1.8, goto Scheduled Tasks and run the Lottery Processing Cron Task, it should start working daily from that point on.

I would think they stay thru upgrades, but not 100% sure.

Zowners: U'll have to edit one of the templates and put $vbphrase[ebux_points] after where it shows the cost.

I'll have to take a look into the reputation thing tomorrow, its bed time after I finish this post.

Admins already have the ability. I wouldn't think it would be too hard to extend that to other usergroups through the store.

Thanks for looking into it!

[Hornstar]

If I install this now, there are no problems upgrading it each time a new version comes out is there? Or will people loose points and things they have paid for?

wow finding it hard to keep up with all these updates lol,great work thankyou *updated*

[dan35]

I mean the option "No" of "Lottery Active" is not working. It always shows "Yes".

[Zowners]

Bugs I have found:

1) A thread counts as a post. So if you make 1 point per thread, and 1 per post, you get 2 for a thread.
2) Reputation adding doesn't add to the points.

[ImportPassion]

I have 2 requests for the hack of the year!!

1. Be able to completely delete/remove the mod/admin options and/or anything I don't need. Less cluter, plus I don't like having those high risk options there.

2. Complete history admin in the admin section. Be able to search by user, date, addon etc. Then you can remove the one in each product in the store.

Keep up the awesome work. I bought a beer for you on my site!

[Hornstar]

In my postbit and postbit legacy i dont have $vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts] because another hack removed it.

i used to have ustore installed in 3.0.x forums, I searched and I found I already have $post[glowstrength]); width:100%;"><else /><div id="postmenu_$post[postid]"></if> because of that old installation.

Well, I have a hack that auto closes the thread when it reaches 1000. And I never plan on having one that big. I just think that even with the query, it would be worth it. Because that is a fairly big exploit right there. If a user finds this out, he can get a lot of points without me knowing. Or if he makes a horrible post, I delete it, he basically stole the points from me.

i dont know if this has been asked before, but when i first installed this,a few of my members bought gifts,and now ive upgraded from the first release to the current v1.1.8 ,now in v1.1.6 i set gifts to expire in 1 day but those gifts are still showing in members posts how do i get rid of those gifts?

[MorrisMcD]

My glow STILL doesnt work.. It starts right at the right of the username and goes over the online status only...

All other username items work fine.. :shrug:

I even moved the online status stuff down as suggested by someone and it just put a small line next to the name since nothing was there to highlight.. Is it possible to make this glow the same way it did before the .6 update?

[Colejo]

What about an option in the store to buy a smilie so that it is named after their username?

[jilly]

I'd like to see a 'greeting card' option added = I know it may be a lot of code, but just thought I would ask anyway :)
Here's what I can come up with for details as of now

* User purchases a card for another member under the misc options area

* User is taken to a place to pick options to 'design' the card - design the card options include:

> Pick card background
> Pick graphic for the card
> Type in area for text - user types in their message to the other user.
> Pick time expiration for card (1 day, 7 days, 30 days, etc)

* Card is 'sent' to the recipient (recipient receives a pm letting them know they have an estore card to pick up with a link - the link takes them to a card pick-up area to see their card.

* Sender is notified when their card has been picked up.

* Extra idea for public cards - card pickup area could include a public and private area - if someone picks a card to be 'public' when they create it, then everyone can see them - they would display in a tiled manner in a card area of the estore
.
If someone picks a card to be 'private' then only the recipient sees it.

If you do work this up, I can donate some backgrounds/imgaes/graphics if you are interested..

I was hoping someone knew exactly how server intensive this hack is? I have a fairly large community (20-40 members on at a time) and since i have installed this wonderful hack my host is now barking at me for using too much CPU, MEM, SQL%. I'm on a shared host environment so I can not hog all the resources obviously, but this has not been a problem until I installed this hack, I believe.

CMX - do you know any ways to optimize the eShop/eBux system so it is less server intensive? I didn't know if there were any options I could take out of the internal code or simply disable the options that are the major server eaters, if you know what they are.

I LOVE this hack and my members have been loving it... I haven't had any technical issues... it is just the server usage is a problem. I was hoping you could share a few pointers. I also know that w/ every release it is more optimized and uses less queries, so I'll continue to upgrade (which seems to be every day with your pace! your awesome). Any help would be nice, thanks!

[lazytown]

CMX,
That would be great!

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
-Vissa


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.

and how come you dont answer your PM to support your "PAID" hacks?

[Joep11]

Bug: estore setting Default PM user id is not working with lottery pm, still sending from 1 :)

[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.


Not sure if you saw this CMX. About my problem with the gifts showing up on postbit after admin deletes them.

Though another user mentioned they are stored in two different tables?

[rinkrat]

OK I'm finally up and running and everything seems to be working. I am converting from Ucash and Ustore and the points all showed up fine but all of the points they had in the bank are all gone. I'm thinking I have to specify the ushop bank table for ebux to use as the bank stats for it to carry over the old bank figures. Is this right? What do I enter to do this and where? (the name of the ucash bank table?)

Thanks :)

[Red Blaze]

Eh, what I plan to do, rinkrat, is ask all my members to get their points outta the bank. I give them enough time to do so, and after that, I plan to drop all the tables related to uShop/uCash except the money table in the user's table. That way, it'd be pretty much a clean install for eBux.

For some reason, I am now unable to disable the Daily Lottery from the Lottery List. I can disable it from inside the lottery itself though.

edit: And once you select a lottery, is there a place to see how much the ticket costs? And something about when the lottery ends would be great too!

[The Chief]

ok, I've seen the update with the categories and usergroups, does that mean that I don't have to edit every single new option for each usergroup if I edited the categories?

thanks so much for this again!

BUG?

For some reason, I am now unable to disable the Daily Lottery from the Lottery List.

Same problem here, but it went back to v1.1.7. I just set it to $0 payout and $0 cost... and folks are still buying tickets of course... lol.

[moonclamp]

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.

This should be rather easy to implement, but the hardest part is blocking any exploits with it, I'll look into it nonetheless.Would be very much appreciated if you do, thank you. :)

If that isn't safe then another idea would be to pay a regular wage to users who do have a picture. No picture=no wages.

(My site is a sort of flirt/date/banter type thing but so many users are shy about revealing what they look like ... I'm doing my best to encourage them)

The amounts that I set still work for me, but it doesn't tell the user what that amount is before they purchase them...

[mkoerner]

Looks Promising :D any plans to add paypal intergration?

Yes that would be awesome to have paypal intergration. They can buy points that would be sweet 5 bucks gets you 1000 pts.

Great idea!

[mkoerner]

There seems to be a few problems with the lottery.

I cant disable one or the other also I cant seem to add a new lottery.

This is one of the best mods I have seen next to the shoutbox. Keep the upgrades coming!

[Zowners]

You can do that yourself. Just have an exchange rate. That is whay I am doing. My users can buy 1 points for 1 dollar. Or trade in 20 points for 20 dollars (no less).

[lordofgun]

Same lottery problem for me. The Daily lottery runs even when set to inactive.

You can disable it, you just have to go INTO the lottery.

very nice yet again. Would it be possible to include the psd file for the categories so we can make our own category image?
Thanks!

Suggestion

Since you must not have a life, with all these updates, can you include a plugin to group the templates together in the AdminCP? Check out this thread:

If I install this now, there are no problems upgrading it each time a new version comes out is there? Or will people loose points and things they have paid for?

As long as you do not Uninstall, they will keep their points.

I mean the option "No" of "Lottery Active" is not working. It always shows "Yes".

Will be fixed in v1.1.9

Bugs I have found:

1) A thread counts as a post. So if you make 1 point per thread, and 1 per post, you get 2 for a thread.
2) Reputation adding doesn't add to the points.

I cant confirm either one of these bugs.

1) DONT forget you get points per characters too, check your settings for that inside eBux Settings.
2) The points goes to the person GIVING the reputation, not the person you are giving reputation to.

I have 2 requests for the hack of the year!!

1. Be able to completely delete/remove the mod/admin options and/or anything I don't need. Less cluter, plus I don't like having those high risk options there.

2. Complete history admin in the admin section. Be able to search by user, date, addon etc. Then you can remove the one in each product in the store.

Keep up the awesome work. I bought a beer for you on my site!

1) LoL, I guess I could allow delete to function on those certain items.

2) I was going to work on something like that in the future when I have more time.

In my postbit and postbit legacy i dont have $vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts] because another hack removed it.


Where should i insert $post[glowstrength]); width:100%;"><else /><div id="postmenu_$post[postid]"></if>



Thanks



i used to have ustore installed in 3.0.x forums, I searched and I found I already have $post[glowstrength]); width:100%;"><else /><div id="postmenu_$post[postid]"></if> because of that old installation.


Should I remove that old installation first, if so How should I do that.

Thanks

It depends on how badly its out of order, reverting might be necessary, how long has it been since you've done a template revert?

i have a bug in creating a new usergroup and wanted to see if ebux/estore had anything to do with it

### INSERT QUERY GENERATED BY fetch_query_sql() ###INSERT INTO forumpermission
(`forumid`, `usergroupid`, `forumpermissions`)
VALUES
('9', '20', '0');

MySQL Error : Duplicate entry '20-9' for key 2
Error Number : 1062
Date : Monday, February 20th 2006 @ 07:37:32 PM
Script : http://www.gamersvault.net/forum/admincp/usergroup.php
Referrer : http://www.gamersvault.net/forum/admincp/usergroup.php


updated to 1.18 and still get the error, this is the only thing ive added recently as far as plugins are concerned. If this isnt a ebux issue, sorry for the post.



Keep up the good work!!

I dont think it is the issue as its not using any of the eBS fields in that query, but to 100% verify its not the eBS, goto Manage Products and and set EBS to Disable, then try to add the usergroup again.

Well, I have a hack that auto closes the thread when it reaches 1000. And I never plan on having one that big. I just think that even with the query, it would be worth it. Because that is a fairly big exploit right there. If a user finds this out, he can get a lot of points without me knowing. Or if he makes a horrible post, I delete it, he basically stole the points from me.

Even still, 1000 posts, if 1000 different users did post in the thread, that would be 1000 users getting updated in a query, if not multiple queries. If someone wants to do something like that, I'm just asking it to be an Add On as I dont want to add it when it definitely could cause issues with timeouts and/or really large boards/forums like my own.

You should remove some points from the user inside the Admin CP that would accomplish the same results of a cheater.

i dont know if this has been asked before, but when i first installed this,a few of my members bought gifts,and now ive upgraded from the first release to the current v1.1.8 ,now in v1.1.6 i set gifts to expire in 1 day but those gifts are still showing in members posts how do i get rid of those gifts?

Options with CUSTOM script locations can not expire. If you edit the Option in Manage Options and it says it has action.whatever.php for a script location, that item is not allowed to expire as the .php will not know how to handle it.

I will then further investigate this new one. Users points are increasing 10 folds. If I had coded this it would have been much easier to find the exploits :p.

This particular exploit of posting more than the allowed number of characters or any other kind of post that generates an ERROR will NOT give points anymore, I have changed the plugin location to newpost_complete meaning it HAS just inserted the new post into the database and it SHOULD give the points. Before it was giving the points on newpost_process which still hadnt done the error checking. Needless to say, if u find another exploit, it wont be related to posting a thread/post.

Every memeber has something like this as their item history. 1) I never had these options active and 2) they all seem to be random.

Those are the items that that member had purchased. Thats why they are always random. Its viewing that User's History of purchases they have made with the eStore, and/or they purchased it before u had a change to disable them.

It's possible some option ID's have changed and its showing the wrong name there, to fix that goto Admin CP -> eStore Options -> Clear User History.

My glow STILL doesnt work.. It starts right at the right of the username and goes over the online status only...

All other username items work fine.. :shrug:

I even moved the online status stuff down as suggested by someone and it just put a small line next to the name since nothing was there to highlight.. Is it possible to make this glow the same way it did before the .6 update?

The only thing I can think of is your template edit must not be 100% proper, PM me your Template for postbit/postbit_legacy, whichever one u use.

What about an option in the store to buy a smilie so that it is named after their username?

lol, that sounds like it would be a custom action script. I'm sure something like that could be done, I'll add it on the future folder.

I'd like to see a 'greeting card' option added = I know it may be a lot of code, but just thought I would ask anyway :)
Here's what I can come up with for details as of now

* User purchases a card for another member under the misc options area

* User is taken to a place to pick options to 'design' the card - design the card options include:

> Pick card background
> Pick graphic for the card
> Type in area for text - user types in their message to the other user.
> Pick time expiration for card (1 day, 7 days, 30 days, etc)

* Card is 'sent' to the recipient (recipient receives a pm letting them know they have an estore card to pick up with a link - the link takes them to a card pick-up area to see their card.

* Sender is notified when their card has been picked up.

* Extra idea for public cards - card pickup area could include a public and private area - if someone picks a card to be 'public' when they create it, then everyone can see them - they would display in a tiled manner in a card area of the estore
.
If someone picks a card to be 'private' then only the recipient sees it.

If you do work this up, I can donate some backgrounds/imgaes/graphics if you are interested..

This also would be a custom add on like the gifts/ribbons. Perhaps someone will get to something like this before I would though.

Still cant install this because In my postbit and postbit legacy i dont have $vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]


And ideas on where to put it now?


I used to have ushop installed should i remove this first? if so how?


Please help asap, thanks

Send me your postbit/posbit_legacy template via PM and I'll see if I can add it for u.

I was hoping someone knew exactly how server intensive this hack is? I have a fairly large community (20-40 members on at a time) and since i have installed this wonderful hack my host is now barking at me for using too much CPU, MEM, SQL%. I'm on a shared host environment so I can not hog all the resources obviously, but this has not been a problem until I installed this hack, I believe.

CMX - do you know any ways to optimize the eShop/eBux system so it is less server intensive? I didn't know if there were any options I could take out of the internal code or simply disable the options that are the major server eaters, if you know what they are.

I LOVE this hack and my members have been loving it... I haven't had any technical issues... it is just the server usage is a problem. I was hoping you could share a few pointers. I also know that w/ every release it is more optimized and uses less queries, so I'll continue to upgrade (which seems to be every day with your pace! your awesome). Any help would be nice, thanks!

Not really sure why it would be super server intensive, there could be some optimizations almost certainly. There is rarely any script that could not use any optimization. But the hard part is finding out what is causing the thing to be slower if anything is cauing it to slow down massively. If anyone find something that increases the running time of the script, let me know.

I noticed, that most (or nearly all) of my translations are gone after upgrading from 116 to 118. Is there a way to avoid this in the future?

Hmm, besides making an XML file with your phrases in them, I dont know.

Bug: estore setting Default PM user id is not working with lottery pm, still sending from 1 :)

I cant replicate this problem, be sure that it did save the setting in the Admin CP properly, I'll try looking into it more when I get time as well.

Not sure if you saw this CMX. About my problem with the gifts showing up on postbit after admin deletes them.

Though another user mentioned they are stored in two different tables?

They are stored in the user table and estoregifts table, but the delete script handles both. If you delete someone's gift and they had 2 of that item, it will still show it in the postbit as someone else had given them that item too.

OK I'm finally up and running and everything seems to be working. I am converting from Ucash and Ustore and the points all showed up fine but all of the points they had in the bank are all gone. I'm thinking I have to specify the ushop bank table for ebux to use as the bank stats for it to carry over the old bank figures. Is this right? What do I enter to do this and where? (the name of the ucash bank table?)

Thanks :)

The early 3.5.0 version of uCash didnt have a bank field, so it didnt transfer any of those funds. If you had an extremely old version of ucash/ushop those are not transferred either, someone would have to write a script to handle that or I will try to add it when I get time.

edit: And once you select a lottery, is there a place to see how much the ticket costs? And something about when the lottery ends would be great too!

Slight issue, will be resolved in v1.1.9. For now, click on Daily Lottery in the Admin CP, and change it to Active, No there, instead of on the Manage Lotteries main page itself.

ok, I've seen the update with the categories and usergroups, does that mean that I don't have to edit every single new option for each usergroup if I edited the categories?

thanks so much for this again!

All category permissions FILTER down to all of the options now.

If you have to override the category permissions there is a new setting to do so for each individual item. Otherwise the permissions there for the Manage Options say "Additional Usergroups". So you can add one to your Premium Usergroup or something for that specific option as well.

Would be very much appreciated if you do, thank you. :)

If that isn't safe then another idea would be to pay a regular wage to users who do have a picture. No picture=no wages.

(My site is a sort of flirt/date/banter type thing but so many users are shy about revealing what they look like ... I'm doing my best to encourage them)

lol, I've added it to the future updates folder.

how do i check my version

also how do i remove peoples stuff that they brouht? e.g bold ness, glow etc?...

To remove stuff people bought, you have to goto Admin CP and search for that User, there are "display flags" and others, but rest assured they are advanced users only to modify them. It's easiest to just set it to 0 if u want to disable someones flags.

The amounts that I set still work for me, but it doesn't tell the user what that amount is before they purchase them...

It does show the amount before purchase. The lottery has 3 pages.. not just 2 like other actions.

1) Page 1 shows the types of lottery that are active and available for purchase.
2) Page 2 shows a summary of the lottery info, jackpot, ticket price, etc..
3) Page 3 actually does the purchase.

Yes that would be awesome to have paypal intergration. They can buy points that would be sweet 5 bucks gets you 1000 pts.

Great idea!

Still someone needs to tackle this as an add on, I do not wish to touch any issues that could cause legal issues as with my company www.cmgsccc.com I know all too many common legal concerns and stay away from them.

There seems to be a few problems with the lottery.

I cant disable one or the other also I cant seem to add a new lottery.

This is one of the best mods I have seen next to the shoutbox. Keep the upgrades coming!

The disable problem u are having will be fixed in v1.1.9, but for now, just goto the Manage Lotteries, click on the name of the lottery u wish to disable, and then turn Active = No there and it will save.

And I've just added a new lottery no problem, what is the error you are getting?

Same lottery problem for me. The Daily lottery runs even when set to inactive.

That cron task issue will be fixed in v1.1.9 as well, seems it didnt have WHERE (active = 1) anywhere in the cron task.

very nice yet again. Would it be possible to include the psd file for the categories so we can make our own category image?
Thanks!

I believe so, I'll have to get them from my wife though.

fly: I'll look into the template grouping as that sounds like a good idea.

It is, but if they dont have any "hooks", then I cant add support for them into the product and it has to be a 3rd party add on.

Yes I did, everything is set up correctly and it is turned on. I think it actually worked for awhile because I had gotten some points, but then it just stopped working.

The only things I could recall doing was changing the title of the plugin in the manage plugins place and changing the description and also editing the prices and editing which items showed up.

I found 2 scheduled jobs in the Task Manager for paychecks. They appear to be the same job so I wanted to clarify what they do. Both are set to run at 1:10 AM by default, I've made no changes.

I've reviewed all the options and only option I could find related to the paycheck was the time period and the amount.

Thanks for your help.

There should only be 1, remove one of them if there are two. Keep one of them that says eBux Paycheck Processing.

I'm having some problems with this, it seems that the points don't seem to be adding up when people post.

What version do u have installed and have u checked all of the settings, per forum and eBux Options?

I have people in a custom usergroup who can't view any options. I checked the usergroup options and there doesn't appear to be anything to set who has permission to buy.

Each Category under Manage Categories shows who has access to an option. Check in there first off. Then Manage Options to add more usergroups.

Would anyone be able to come up with something that will allow members to buy access to use vBshout (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93097) ?

Or maybe explain how it could be done in an easier way? :nervous:

That could be done easily if vBShout has any hooks that are useful, if not, u'd have to hack the vBShout php file and/or template edits.

Where'd the option go to not allow members to buy themselves a gift? I can't find it anymore

It's under the actual Thief store option. Manage Options -> Thief, at the bottom will be some settings.

My users are getting a fatal error when sending gifts, it doesnt happen all the time, just every one in awhile....



any idea why this is, is it something I did wrong??

Also, when editing the number of items to be sold, when I save it reverts to what it was at install.

That should have been fixed a while ago, but I'll look into it again.

When I go an manually try to RUN the lottery cron, I get this error:


On the site it says, "Lottery Ends Approximately: 02-20-2006, 10:18 PM" ... but its 2/21 already .

Can someone help pls?

Time zone settings are not taken into effect I guess, I need to read up on who to do that, the time its showing is the unix timestamp when its that time for your server hosting the vB is when it will be drawn.

If I upgrade my forum from 3.5.2 to 3.5.4 ...will this hack continue working?

Is it safe?

It should be safe to upgrade.

REQUEST:

1.Be able to take a % of processed fees for donate & bank. For example, if I set it to 1%, a user banking 100 points only receives 99.

2. Give x% of attempted theft amount to theftee (Instead of 100% or 0%)

3. Incorporate with vBookie, and charge a betting %.

You are doing AMAZING work, please keep it up!

1) That might work later on when the federal bank is updated. I'll take that into account then.

2) Sounds interesting, maybe that could be done easily.

3) vBookie should be working with this now. It has been updated.

How does I as the admin view the store history of other users?

In the admin cp, search for users, and on the bottom left.

[Smiry Kin's]

that is maybe because nothing has been purchased from estore

they have, why else would i ask how to remove it? duh?..

[Smiry Kin's]

U need to upgrade badly then :)

When u update, always upload all files and upload the Product XML after all files are uploaded and choose Allow Overwrite to YES.
i asked you how i check my version, you didnt reply.

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

i asked you how i check my version, you didnt reply.

Sorry, I figured that was a nobrainer lol...

Manage Products -> look for eBux / eStore, it will say in there.

If you go into AdminCP >> Plugin System >> Manage Products, find the eBux / eStore product in there and to the right of it is the version number. If you have upgraded in the past and only imported the product file without uploading files or vice versa, then take the latest version available, upload all files, and reimport the product allowing overwrite.

Go to the plugin manager (where you add the product files) but rather than go into manage products, go to plugin manager and make sure there aren't anymore eStore / eBux plugins that didn't get removed. If there are some in there, then delete them.

If that doesn't fix it, try reinstalling the plugin and then uninstall it again.

Holy crap you don't know what you're missing. Lots of new features and stuff since 1.0.5...we are now on 1.1.8!

[caimakale]

If I upgrade my forum from 3.5.2 to 3.5.4 ...will this hack continue working?

Is it safe?
It should work but you will need to revert your MEMBERINFO template and then reapply the template edits from this and other hacks to it. This will also hold true for the navbar. I think those are the only templates that get changed that are edited in eStore.

[SasukeNC]

No you don't understand, I can't go into the forum at all, not one page works in the adminpanel or anything.

[caimakale]

No you don't understand, I can't go into the forum at all, not one page works in the adminpanel or anything.
I would suggest going into your databse and finding the plugin table and the product table. Start off with the eStore / eBux products and then move to the plugins table, if they are still present and haven't been deleted. Set the active field from 1 to 0. Don't do anything else, and do this one plugin/product at a time until you find the culprit.

[SasukeNC]

Hey do you have AIM maybe I can talk to you on it. But no, none of that worked, it is all gone. This has to be a very small error though and I don't know what.

Would anyone be able to come up with something that will allow members to buy access to use vBshout (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93097) ?

Or maybe explain how it could be done in an easier way? :nervous:


a) create a new usergroup that has permission to use the vbshould and then use the secondary usergroup store action to let users buy access to it.

b) if you want to add an option where it costs points per vbshout post, take a look at the action I created for the profile comments hack ... you can use the same code - you just need to figure out where to add it. I dont have that hack installed to point out where though.

[SasukeNC]

That didn't work.

[Exitilus]

They are stored in the user table and estoregifts table, but the delete script handles both. If you delete someone's gift and they had 2 of that item, it will still show it in the postbit as someone else had given them that item too.

-CMX

arrghh *head explodes* hehe.

So I did this. I bought someone 2 different gifts. Then went to their profile. Deleted one. Then went to the forums. It only showed the 1 gift I did not delete.

So I went back and deleted the last gift. Went to the forums. it shows that last gift still even though it's not longer on the profile


BTW I must say this is a awesome Mod .... I'm definetely looking at donating for your hard work when I get paid.

[ImportPassion]

What option are they trying to purchase?

-CMX

that's the thing, he isn't trying to. he gets it when he just logs on to the site. :ermm:

[The Chief]

One thing I would like to suggest, maybe if we could be able to Delete posts in your threads, like the users would be able to delete some posts in their own threads, don't know if this is possible...

anyways, great, hack!

[moonclamp]

Apologies if this has already been reported (this is a hell of a long thread)

If a user/admin tries to donate points to a member whose usergroup cannot use the estore they get this 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

[caimakale]

Hey do you have AIM maybe I can talk to you on it. But no, none of that worked, it is all gone. This has to be a very small error though and I don't know what.
Sorry I don't use aim or any of those. So disabling all of your plugins and products didn't work? Did you continue down the line or did you just do the estore ones?

[eNforce]

a) create a new usergroup that has permission to use the vbshould and then use the secondary usergroup store action to let users buy access to it.

b) if you want to add an option where it costs points per vbshout post, take a look at the action I created for the profile comments hack ... you can use the same code - you just need to figure out where to add it. I dont have that hack installed to point out where though.

Well you see, there's no option to allow/disallow vbshout access in the usergroup manager, the only similar option is 'Banned Users' in the actual vbshout options.

Banning all usergroups except for one usergroup (the new shoutbox usergroup) doesn't work because their primary usergroup overrides the new secondary shoutbox group :(

[shaynehammy]

CMX,

Firstly, you rock! Amazing updates so far.

I was wondering if you could consider putting this in. I would love it if clicking on Estore brough a drop down menu

Choices could be:
Quick links
> Use Estore
Miscellaneous
> View All History
> View Lottery Winners
> Donate

Perhaps this option could be configurable through admin for drop down or normal. Or we could add our own links?

Thanks

[Rickie3]

ok if anyone is interested i have created a drop down menu for estore

in template 'navbar' find
<if condition="$show['popups']">

above add
<td id="estore" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="estore.php$session[sessionurl_q]">eStore</a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("estore"); </script></a></td>

now still in navbar go right to the bottom and find

</if>

add above

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="estore_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr><td class="thead"><a href="estore.php?$session[sessionurl]">eStore Home</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="estore.php?$session[sessionurl]do=action&itemid=48">Lottery</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="estore.php?$session[sessionurl]do=userhistory">history</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="estore.php?$session[sessionurl]do=action&itemid=27">Give Gifts</a></td></tr>

</table>
</div>


see screenshot
you can customise this to how you want it,hope someone finds this handy

[eNforce]

That's cool, I tried adding a few admin options with an if condition to only show it to admins but it didn't work :(

<if condition="!is_member_of($bbusergroup, 6)">
<tr><td class="thead"><a href="estore.php?$session[sessionurl]">Admin Options</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="estore.php?$session[sessionurl]do=action&itemid=12">Admin Donate</a></td></tr>
</if>

What's wrong with this? It will display the option to ALL members instead of only admin as I'd like.

[kylek]

Rickie3 - Thanks, I will definately use it, just finished the upgrade to 3.5.4 and re doing the navbars, good timing.

if a member clicks it they will see "You are not allowed to purchase this item."

Yeah I know they'll see that message, I'd just like to hide the 'thead' and option in the menu from them :nervous:

or this code???
Find:

<div id="postmenu_$post[postid]">

Each Category under Manage Categories shows who has access to an option. Check in there first off. Then Manage Options to add more usergroups.Ah, I'd completely overlooked it. Not sure why either as I have another system with this feature. Thanks for explaining that! :)

[ChiliVB]

I tested the lottery functions with a Daily Lottery ticket on one user just to see how it works. Then I disabled the Daily Lottery. No other tickets were purchased

Now each day, the Daily Lottery awards this account 10,000 pts when the cron job runs even though it's not active and no ticket was purchased.

I have read you are fixing the cron issue with the inactive lottery setting, but is it possible for me to edit something to remove this "ghost" ticket. I even tried setting the amount award 0 and the same thing happened. I'd like to not have to manually take away these points each day until the new version comes out.

[Alviker]

Is someone able to assist on how to save the translations?

Regards, Wachtmeister

//edit: it is possible, that i made a mistake in a former translation (maybe i was not using the field for the german phrases and changed the original language, so i have first to check what happens when going from 118 to 119)

If a user/admin tries to donate points to a member whose usergroup cannot use the estore they get this error:

That is actually a problem with the send_pm function, it didnt process errors before, it will be fixed in v1.1.9

Sorry I don't use aim or any of those. So disabling all of your plugins and products didn't work? Did you continue down the line or did you just do the estore ones?

U cant disable plugins by going to the "plugins" or "settings" tables, because vBulletin uses the "datastore" as a "QUICK ACCESS" to all of the variables/stuff. So you have to disable the plugins inside the datastore for "plugins" and its a bit weird to edit as well.

What's wrong with this? It will display the option to ALL members instead of only admin as I'd like.

Try "is_member_of", not "!is_member_of"... ! means "NOT".

If you rebuild the datastore and there is nothing in your forums, then its not installed properly as the rebuild datastore takes all of the options/categories and puts them into the forum cache for easy/quick access.

sure you have the plugin installed and all files uploaded? I had this problem but then re uploaded and it worked fine.

ALSO: DO NOT INSTALL THE PRODUCT XML FILE until after all files are UPLOADED always, this is a HUGE step as sometimes there are new bitfields that need to be rebuilt!

Question about translation:

When I go into manage lottery and edit daily lottery I still have 1140639691 showing under ending time, what should this setting be?

Edit - Have tried several ways - admitting defeat and hopefully there will be something in the next update to help all.

It's a UNIX timestamp there is no easy way to edit this for now if you do not know how to use the php time() command, hopefully I'll figure out an easier way to update it in the future.

I'm not sure if I missed it or not, but has the item shop been added?

I know there's the ability to add gifts, but an item shop that shows a certain number of items under your signature would be great. :squareeyed:

I dont think there is an addon for this yet.

i wonder is there a preview when they are buying the username grow and those items? so they can see how it looks before they actually buy the item.

No, but there is a new option called "Change Always". Where the user buys it once and then can change it for free if you enable that for the changeable items.



Also, working on v1.1.9, got a few more things I want to get into it before its release. Not sure if it will release tonite, more likely tomorrow.

Not sure about the expiring thing, I need a copy of your estore_history for the user that is getting that problem so I can add that to my test forums and debug it, or access to your forums sometime it happens again.

where do i find estore_history please?

[Robert9]

Hi, I want to points given out per forum (minus the multiplyer if necessary) to display dynamically. Any way you could do this easily? Thanks!

[lordofgun]

Updates for v1.2.0 that will be coming soon:

New Options - Buy Reputation Points, Remove Others Reputation Points, Steal Reputation Points and possibly a couple more.

YAY!!! Ability to give unlimited Reputation just like admins can too? :D

[LadyJo]

consider???

adding a bit of code to allow users to send a gift from the drop down of the username above the post bit??? We had it running on our board before we upgraded and I had to have someone write the code for us being as I am a code idiot. This would be a much appreciated small code add on.

[VBUsers]

hey CMX,

Hi, my users have found a few exploits already...

1) Points per Character - I'm sure this has already been brought up, but if you give points per character in a post, users can just post a large amount of characters (copy and paste), post, and then edit it out before anyone sees.

2) Points per Thread View - Some users of my forum (not even a day after I put up the eStore), have created scripts to simply view a thread repeatedly, thus not only increasing their points rapidly, but also creating a DDoS attack to the server (since they also shared the script with their friends)

3) untested.. Points for Birthday - I have yet to test this, but if you set your birthday to the *next* day, and then when that day comes, you change the birthday again to the *next* day, so free points everyday

4) Points for Registration/Referral - of course if somebody is so inclined they could create a lot of accounts using a person as the referrer and mass up points this way.

Great work on the script thus far, but these are just some ways that it can be "exploited."

I'd say that's ban worthy, at least 2 and 4 are. Possibly IP ban worthy if it's #4.

i think this should be taken out. if you give even 1 point per character you will have literally hundreds of thousands of points for loyal members or staff.

by post is great if you do it by character that is just to much in my opinion but hey some people want to do it that way.

2) Points per Thread View - Some users of my forum (not even a day after I put up the eStore), have created scripts to simply view a thread repeatedly, thus not only increasing their points rapidly, but also creating a DDoS attack to the server (since they also shared the script with their friends)

this should be corrected imediatelty and those members should be IP banned.


3) untested.. Points for Birthday - I have yet to test this, but if you set your birthday to the *next* day, and then when that day comes, you change the birthday again to the *next* day, so free points everyday

im going to test this as well.

Ban these members. the AE detector will help. i have caugth several members doing this and rules on my forum are no 2 usernames.

[randominity]

Currently I have disabled all the points except for from posts since that is the easiest/only way to see how people are getting their points (except from stealing).

And what's the AE detector? O_o

I upgraded to v1.1.9 in hopes of fixing the lottery issues I was having. The upgrade went fine and everything appeared normal. However, users cannot open and view a threads. Neither can the administrator account.

The index and home pages appear normal but when clicking on a thread a new page opens, but it is completely blank. Its as if permissions to view a post have been affected. I've checked all forum and usergroup permissions and everything appears normal.

I could not find a setting in the estore options that probibited viewing a post but it appears one is somewhere. Please help. :ermm:

Thanks for posting Rickie3, I thought I was losing my mind!

I found an entry called showthread_start in the Plugin Manager. But I can't tell if there are any problems with it. I guess we will have to wait til CMX sees our post.

[RDX1]

Could you add confirm on all delete/rebuild options please?

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

does the upgrade fix the fatal error my members are getting when sending gifts???

and does this fix the bug that resets my option settings to default after I save???

It should, the one having to do with PM's I assume u r referring to.

@CMX_CMGSCCC


where do i find estore_history please?

It's inside of the user table, use PhpMyAdmin to get the exact value for the user id that is causing the issue.

Great work on the script thus far, but these are just some ways that it can be "exploited."

1) Then disable the Points Per Character by putting a 0 for this setting.

2) Same principle, for the Multiplier for Thread View, put a 0 there and there will be no points awarded for thread views.

3) This is not an issue, it saves an extra field in the user table saying when they last received a birthday present and if it hasnt been at least 364 days, it will not give them the points.

4) Sure, but its up to u to check for accounts using the same IP and ban them :) You could always enter a 0 for this setting too :)

Could you add confirm on all delete/rebuild options please?

There will be confirm on the lottery and category delete options in the future, but rebuild datastore does not need a confirm as it should always be useful no matter what and build the proper data.

ok, two of my users are suddening getting this:

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

for every page of the forums. I -think- it has to do with purchasing the custom title (because that was the one option they both did). And it didn't happen right away. I think it happened seven days after, because that's when the usertitle was set to expire.

In the new drop down menu the index (estore.php) link is missing.

Is it possible to align the text fields (forms) in "thief" and "donate". It would look a lot better.

The main is when you press on eStore Menu, and the header itself goes to the eStore Main is that not clear enough? If not, I guess I can make it show up again underneath it? or how could I make it more visible?

Yes it is possible for that, I have cleaned it up for v1.2.0.

ive found this to happen when i use my quick reply button to a post it just goes to a blank white page but when i click the back button then refresh my post is there,i didnt have this prob till i upgraded to v1.1.9

I've done this on my test forum and have had no issues, so either it was fixed in the modifications I've done for v1.2.0 (unlikely), or there is something differently configured at your forums that has to be tracked down.

By some members i get this after an admin donate:
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

That was fixed a while ago, are u using the latest version? (And I still have to run that test on ur forums, I havent forgot, just been busy)

Could you make it that after you buy somthing from the store and the page displays that the item was purchased could you have it update your pts amount also?

Yes, I'll see about doing this in the next release.

If I set the 'Sticky Thread' option to expire after one day, it will unstick the thread?

Yes and no, yes it should work. But it will only expire if the time has passed for it and the user that bought it sticky in the first place logs in.

I upgraded to 1.19 last nite, and now none of the gifts are showing up in the postbit.

It's inside the plugin for global_start, can you give me access to that users account, i.e. copy the account to a new user with the same estore_history specifically, and then give me access to that account with admin and can administer plugins, then I could debug why the URL is not getting built properly.

Scenario: Need help in a category setting - In the category Usertitle Options, I want only one usergroup to have permission to change someone else's user title - however I want to allow all usergroups to be able to change other usertitle options like glow, color, etc.

How can I set it so only one usergroup has permission to access one option in a category?

Simply set the category permissions Globally, for everyone to use. Then for the individual item u want to have specific access to, goto Manage Options -> click on the option you want to change -> Override Category Permissions set to Yes, then select the usergroups u wish to allow.

welll, there is only one thing this guy had that had an expiration date, that was thief immunity.

Then go into the 'change someone else's title' options and deny the usergroups who shouldnt have permission.

[pfgannon]

Well I set the numbers at 2 for threads and 1 for posts. But they keep reverting to 0

[caimakale]

I have been testing the "Can Change Always" feature of the site and noticed that if an item set to can change always and purchased for the first time by a user, they are never charged for it.

I have set up a test account with no flags and past purchases to test this and was able to login and purchase colored username without it affecting my points total. I also allow refunds on my site, so I went to return the item, and it credited me back what should have been the purchase price, so I walked away from the deal more points in my pocket than when I started.

So this creates a points exploit for any of your "Can Change Always" items if you have refunds enabled. If not then it is a free giveaway in the stores on those items.

Is this maybe, because you use vbadvanced? Have you added estore.php into the CPMS Default Settings / Navbar replacements? I think this could solve your problem.

PS: guys, sorry for the unfriendly red color in my post. The editor does not save my changes :(

[LadyJo]

OK I see youve replied to people that the fatal error with send pm's was fixed awhile ago but I have the latest version and in fact it is not.

Also the user who has issues with things resetting to default, I have that too and I belive I can figure out I have to set it to anything over 0. I set it to other numbers and it defaults back... as well as the option numbers.. lets say I set the gifts to 50.. i go back in and are set at 20 again because thats deafult, while the bank and everything else are sonce again set at 0.

This is on my live forum and I got th fata erro about send_pm as well last night.

Thanks for your hard work

For now you would have to hack the action file.

Remove the following code from action.changeotherusertitle.php


Code:
// 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 know why now that I see. I am using VBA CMPS, and when they start at that page instead of the forums, the way u hve it written, it will go to /estore.php

$vbulletin->url = 'estore.php?do=expireoptions';

so it needs to have the var for the forums home in there.

This reply (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=908378&postcount=2199) should help you. I had the same problem in my community (http://www.webgurus.de) and fixed it that way. (it's not an eBux problem)

I just deleted one of my custom categories by accident. Perhaps you should add a confirmation page for deleting categories as well.

Also, on custom categories, custom category images aren't being displayed.

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Well I set the numbers at 2 for threads and 1 for posts. But they keep reverting to 0

I just ran it and it saved them fine, make sure you enter the number u want for each of the 3 fields as it saves all 3 at once.

I have been testing the "Can Change Always" feature of the site and noticed that if an item set to can change always and purchased for the first time by a user, they are never charged for it.

I have set up a test account with no flags and past purchases to test this and was able to login and purchase colored username without it affecting my points total. I also allow refunds on my site, so I went to return the item, and it credited me back what should have been the purchase price, so I walked away from the deal more points in my pocket than when I started.

So this creates a points exploit for any of your "Can Change Always" items if you have refunds enabled. If not then it is a free giveaway in the stores on those items.

Will be fixed in v1.2.0

[color=#15a018]




Is this maybe, because you use vbadvanced? Have you added estore.php into the CPMS Default Settings / Navbar replacements? I think this could solve your problem.

PS: guys, sorry for the unfriendly red color in my post. The editor does not save my changes :(

This will be fixed in v1.2.0

OK I see youve replied to people that the fatal error with send pm's was fixed awhile ago but I have the latest version and in fact it is not.

Also the user who has issues with things resetting to default, I have that too and I belive I can figure out I have to set it to anything over 0. I set it to other numbers and it defaults back... as well as the option numbers.. lets say I set the gifts to 50.. i go back in and are set at 20 again because thats deafult, while the bank and everything else are sonce again set at 0.

This is on my live forum and I got th fata erro about send_pm as well last night.

Thanks for your hard work

Jo

Paste me the exact message in PM and tell me what forums u r using, 3.5.3, etc.

The expire option I have redone a different way and it should be fixed soon as v1.2.0 is released.

How can i deprotect me (as admin / userid=1) against theft?

I am now currently protected and don't want to be. Am i blind?

There is an eStore Setting for which usergroups are protected. And Manage Options -> Thief has its own option to protect against stealing from Staff that would have to be disbaled too.

I know why now that I see. I am using VBA CMPS, and when they start at that page instead of the forums, the way u hve it written, it will go to /estore.php

$vbulletin->url = 'estore.php?do=expireoptions';

so it needs to have the var for the forums home in there.

U are incorrect, this code is taken directly from vB's calendar.php file....


$vbulletin->url = 'calendar.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "c=$calendarinfo[calendarid]";
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_calendardel eteevent'));



If it works in vB code here, it will work inside a plugin too, so its definitely not that if vB's redirect's work fine because its coded the exact same way.

is it possible to disable some functions? for example 'thief' ?


went blind for a second :)

Yes, Manage Options -> there's a field for active or not, turn active to No and it will be disabled.

I just deleted one of my custom categories by accident. Perhaps you should add a confirmation page for deleting categories as well.

Also, on custom categories, custom category images aren't being displayed.

Yeah, going to do that for the next version v1.2.0 as well. As far as the custom categories images, do u see a Red X? If so, right click on it and check the Properties and make sure the imagepath is correct, I would assume u put in a wrong path like /images/blah.gif instead of images/blah.gif maybe too, so check for that too.

I apologize if I missed it, after upgrading to 1.1.9, the "admin donate" option is no longer in the options manager, only the "donate option". I remember seeing it in version 1.1.7

Is there suppose to be another way of administering "admin donate"?

Thank you

1 - If you have an icon displaying next to your username this is how it is supposed to work. Otherwise it will display the icon on the next line...under the name. There isn't a perfect scenario that is known about that will allow the username to glow while not making the icon next to it glow.

2 - The gifts thing has been discussed recently, and because of the problem with them, CMX has attached them to the post to download and then upload to your server. Look for them in the same place you download the hack.

U need to goto Manage Options -> Admin Donate -> and look at the bottom now for the settings. The redundant setting of "Log Purchases" was removed for the Bank, Thief & Donates due to there being an on/off for each item already.

I've redone the reset forums points now. The problem was it was setting the forum table values, but the datastore cache wasnt updated, now it should update it properly as well as the datastore cache. This update is in v1.2.0

Is there a brief explaination arounnd here on how to use the add new option feature of estore?

Not at this time, its pretty advanced, but I tried to make it as easy as possible. Some options u can add urself easily, others u'll need to write an action.something.php file for.

Two little problems:

1) The glow is around the status icon as well as the user name. I've tried a workaround with no luck.

2) The gift images aren't showing up. Just a red X.

Thanks for your help!

1) You will not be able to fix this if you want the username and status icons to be displayed on the same line like..

Username - Icons...

Even if you hack your postbit template and put a </div> after the $post[musername], it will pust the icons down to the next line...

Username
Icons....

This is due to the way the Glow feature works and there will never be a way to fix this unless M$ changes IE's glow to NOT use the "display:block;" style. If you do not use an HTML command that has a block display, the glow will not work at all. So if u want to push the icons down, then edit ur postbit template some, otherwise, u'll have to cut ur losses and let the status icons glow too.

2) That is fixed in v1.2.0, the files are back to normal, reupload all files in the UPLOAD folder like always to fix this.

CMX_CMGSCCC,

Just out of curiousity, is there any reason why you don't have an expire table that holds information on all items that have expiration dates? And then running a vbcron once every 24-hours set everything back?

Seems like that would cause fewer corruption headaches with the expiration field in the user table. And this would also allow items to expire without the user having to log in.

I think this method would be a lot more efficient than what you're currently using (although I suppose it would require an extra ADD query when a user makes a purchase).

I think this method would be a lot more efficient than what you're currently using (although I suppose it would require an extra ADD query when a user makes a purchase).

The reason was, I didnt want to do any Cron Tasks at first, but now I have done 3, I guess a 4th one couldnt hurt...

I have finally fixed the problem that some users had with expiring options in the v1.2.0 release. In reality, an expired options table method would be much more effective because even if the item somehow got removed from a user's history, it would still be in the table of options to expire.

The main problem with expiring options is, some options can not expire at all, and/or require longer processes to expire. For example, if u wanted a username to expire and go back to the old username, that would create about 6 more queries to change per username that expired due to the fact it has to change the username in posts, thread, etc...

The current expiring field now makes it expire based on when the user is active and it calls the estore.php. The reason that is a good thing is, if there are "custom expiring fields", it would be easier to handle in the estore.php file instead of a cron task job...

So all in all, I really dont know which one is the "best" method to use. Each have their pro's and con's. And if a cron task is used, it would only be able to handle the "basic" expiring fields and as far as I know, cron tasks are basically ran soon as someone access the forums on a given time? It's not running the tasks like a real cron job is it? Meaning for example, if u had to expire 100 user options, it would do 100 queries for some user who happens to view it at the time it needs to run the cron task?

Correct me if I'm wrong about the scheduled task system as I havent taken the time to research it to see how it actually runs them. I'm just assuming it doesnt have 'root' access to be able to start a REAL cron job.

[Gwynar]

As far as I know, vbCrons are triggered by someone visiting the forums (and for those that have access to crontabs, they could easily convert them over).

As for which is better: I can certainly see that there are pro's and con's to both sides. By having the expire check done on each user's visit would obviously require fewer queries over having to do an expire check for every user once every 24-hours.

Perhaps you could create a queue of userids (stored in a table) that the cron would run off? When a user logs in, the system checks to see if there is an item that can expire that day, if there is, add that user's id to a queue and then run a cron off that list.

Or scrap the cron idea entirely and do what you currently do, but against a table instead of a field in the user table. I just think that having an additional table for expirations would make the expire system much more robust. And while reverting a username would require numerous queries, reverting things like user titles probably wouldn't (I don't think anyway).

[LadyJo]

one more thing.. i know I said it before and maybe it got lost or you are totally uninterested.. lord knows your busy with everyones issues.. ;) but maybe you could add in one of your upgrades the ability to send a gift to a user from the drop down in the post bit, the drop down from the username in the posts. MUCH appreciated if you could :)

[RDX1]

Even after clearing user history and rebuilding datastore, in the users profile it shows something different.

Item ID Item Name Item Cost
12 Sticky Thread 10.00
48 Can Modify Profile 8.32

After clearing user history, none of these options are buyable.

[shaynehammy]

I'm confused. Where do the forum rules appear after you have done the template edit?

[Exitilus]

I've found something else :) in the eStore Options > Manage settings > Administrator Usergroups & Protected From Options Usergroups

If you try entering multiple Usergroups using the coma like it says. It saves the first usergroup but doesn't save the 2nd usergroup ..


Also ... for the life of me I remember seeing a area to setup Thief ... but I can't find it anymore. I know if you go to Manage Options you can click thief. And at the bottom is the setup for those options .. but I swear I saw a place to use those ...

[dan35]

I'm confused. Where do the forum rules appear after you have done the template edit?

the bottom left corner.

[Wachtmeister]

Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a box at the lottery "Buy how many tickets?" ?

It's difficuilt to buy 5 tickets for the same lottery right now, because you can only purchase one ticket each minute (fllod control) and even if you disable flood control you have to go back and do the purchase 5 times. Just an idea...

[Zowners]

REQUESTS

On top of the Bank & donation processing fee requests and the theftee %, I would like to add a few more.

1. Radio Yes or No option to turn bank ON AND OFF. Some forums don't like banks, and this helps take care of that. bank_enabled is simply a boolean, but make sure you add all bank points to on-hand before removing bank.

2. Radio Yes or No option to NOT SHOW BANK IN POSTBIT & MEMBER PROFILE. Another simple boolean, show_bank, to stop people from seeing Bank points in the Postbit and Member Profile. Admins should be able to see bank points.

[Drewish]

I'm not able to save more than 1 usergroup in both "usergroups who are admins" and "usergroups protected." Is there a fix for this?

[mrahul]

is it possible to allocate differnt no. of points for differnt forums ?

[lordofgun]

For the buy reputation points option is it 1:1 ratio? Example: If I have the cost set to 25000, and someone buys it, will they receive 25000 rep points?

If so, it would be nice to have a multiplier. :D

Reputation User Spread
How many different users must you give reputation to before you can hit the same person again? Administrators are exempt from this limit.

Hello Im sorry if someone already asked this but im wondering if there is a way to make the gifts in the postbit return a line.. say after 10 gifts? One of my members already has quite a few and they are just continuing on the same line across the page causing it to scroll over.

Oh also about the hover over gifts and show sender name and message, hope you can look into that soon. Thanks so much.

[Holidazed]

Yes, simply change the phrase ebux_points to what you want it to be.
Actually, to change the name of the points, you have to change to following phrases.
ebux_points
ebux_total_points

Would this not be better to just be an option in the ACP as to what you want to call your points?

I have displayed decimal place set to 2 in the estore and ebux, yet 5 places after the decimal point are showing up..
