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

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

vbBux / vbPlaza v1.5.8 by CMX (http://www.cmgsccc.com)
Official Homepage - http://www.vbplaza.com

v1.5.7 AND HIGHER are now compatible with vBulletin v3.5.x and v3.6.x :)

Welcome to the largest points/store system for vBulletin! READ THE ENTIRE POST AGAIN AS THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES SINCE THE CONVERSION TO vbBux / vbPlaza!!

Credits: MrZeropage for ibProArcade Support, John for v3 Arcade Support, Caimakale for various additions including ribbons and his other addons for vbPlaza, defi for the addon for Paypal Subscriptions.

New Premium Modification Forum: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=171
If you post a new thread in there, it will be easier to track the answer to your thread folks!

Now with 135 Options for purchasing at your forums and this is still rising folks!

NOTE: As of this version, there is a Template Patcher helper inside the Admin CP. Admin CP -> vbPlaza Maintenance -> Auto Patch Templates, when you run this the first time, it will just list the changes that it has found/not found. If you press Attempt Auto Patches, it will modify the template changes it has found only. It will also modify all styles for your forums. I have tested this on all 3 of my licensed vBulletin production websites and the patches all worked great.

UPDATED MUST READ NOTES:
1) RE-READ THE UPGRADING OR NEW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AS THEY HAVE CHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS!!
2) IF UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION OF eBux / eStore. YOU MUST INSTALL THIS ONE FIRST TO SAVE YOUR SETTINGS. (BUT YOU WOULD KNOW THIS IF YOU READ THE UPGRADING INSTRUCTIONS!! DONT SAY I DIDNT WARN YOU!!)

Branding Free Option
If you have donated in the past, you can get the Branding Free Option for Free by sending CMX a PM on the http://www.vbplaza.com/forums Message Board.
Otherwise, you will need to purchase it by signing up for an account at http://www.vbplaza.com/forums/register.php and then going to http://www.vbplaza.com/forums/payments.php

Features List:
This section has been moved due to its length. Look in the file included insize the zip named features.txt.

Release Notes:
This section will only show the most recent changes. For the rest of the changes, look in the file included inside the zip named changes.txt.

NOTE: If you want ibProArcade, v3 Arcade or vBookie integration now, you'll have to install the appropriate Addon included in the download. The reason for these parts being packaged as Addons, is to make the install a little smaller for users who do not have an Arcade, and because both Arcades cant be installed simultaneously as well. So it saves space only installing the one that you currently have.

v1.5.8 Updates:
1) Bugfix: Quick editing a post with BB Codes, modified the post directly instead of modifying a copy.
2) Bugfix: Some phrases fixed.
3) Bugfix: TABLEPREFIX bug has been fixed.
4) Bugfix: Addon Product XML sheets do not have executionorder in them anymore for vB 3.5 compatibility.

Database Backups Recommended!
Although I have upgraded 3 forums with this script already, it IS recommended that you backup your database before installing this product!!

Upgrading Instructions:
NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR UPGRADING IF YOU HAD A PREVIOUS VERSION OF eBux / eStore INSTALLED!!
1) DO NOT UNINSTALL eBux / eStore (UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOSE ANY AND ALL SETTINGS.)
2) Reupload all of the files in the upload folder to your forum's root folder. Make sure that all files are being overwritten. Do not move on to the next step until all files are transferred successfully!
NOTE: It could take a long time to install if you have a lot of registered users, be PATIENT! It should display the messages as it goes along to let you know that it IS working.
3) After finished with step 2!! Reimport the product-vbbuxplaza.xml file via Admin CP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product. Make sure that Allow Overwrite is set to YES.
4) Refresh the Admin CP and you will see all of the vbBux / vbPlaza Admin CP features at the top.
5) UNINSTALL THE OLD eBux / eStore NOW!! Go to Admin CP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> eBux / eStore -> Uninstall.
6) You can delete all files/folders that have the word estore or elottery in them from the FTP as well.
7) You will need to redo the template edits listed below as almost all of them have changed since the previous eBux / eStore.

If upgrading from a previous version of vbBux / vbPlaza follow these instructions:
1) Reupload all of the files in the upload folder to your forum's root folder. Make sure that all files are being overwritten. Do not move on to the next step until all files are transferred successfully!
2) After finished with step 2!! Reimport the product-vbbuxplaza.xml file via Admin CP -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product. Make sure that Allow Overwrite is set to YES.
3) Refresh the Admin CP and get to checking your settings!

New Installation Instructions:
1) Upload all of the files/folders in the UPLOAD folder to your forum's root folder.

Nice! My users have been wanting something like this since we switched to 3.5, I don't have the time to check it out now plus I want to wait and see how it works for others but thanks for making this! I look forward to using it.

[Neosoul]

About to install noW!!

[Neosoul]

HOTM... Easily..

[LBSources]

wow.. good job.. ill see how this plays out.. step on anyones toes? pffft .. good job!

[shaynehammy]

Is this similar to the UCash mod but only better?

[Stangsta]

can you integrate this with vbookie?

[docvader]

Is this similar to the UCash mod but only better?

Nice, but, since I've been using Ucash for, um, years?, is there anyway to integrate it? I have a lot of users that have accumulated a lot of docdollars...

rich

[Reeve of shinra]

Very much needed. Thanks!

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

All nice features, I will add some more admin features over the next day or so.

Some of the features I'm going to add tomorrow off the top of my head include:
1) Admin Feature: Copying points from ucash fields over to the eBux's field, and forum settings of points perview/perthread/perreply.
2) Admin Feature: Give all users x points / x points in bank.
3) Admin Feature: Set all forums perview/perthread/perreply in 1 go.

It's time for bed tonight, I just know this thread will be 100+ replies when I wake up, haha.

Looks Promising :D any plans to add paypal intergration?

[lordnex]

Guys, in his write up it says "9) Field Name for where points are located. (Default: ebux)" So I would imagine you can change the default to "ucash" to you don't lose your existing items.
This looks fantastic! :D I'm going to install it right now.

[DJ XtAzY]

im just wondering if its possible to use these points for attachments? Like everytime a member wants to download a attachement, they will need 'x' amount of points before they can download. If that member doenst have enought points, an error will say that he needs at list x points before that member can download. Is this feature possible?

[Makaveli105]

im gonna try this now..wish me luck!

THANKS ALOT! :D

[Colejo]

Installed. Thanks. I'll have it tested out in no time.

[rb290]

thanks for this ! !
will be waiting for the eStore updates

[Colejo]

Can you make it so that non-Admins can't see the option for admin donate? When they click on it then it says they can't purchase the item but it would probably be better if they don't see it at all.

[caimakale]

This is kind of funny on multiple levels...a group has been "organizing" and "creating" this hack for several months now! This one was created in two days!!!

The other funny thing (moreso for me than you)...on my old 3.0.7 board with ucash, I had renamed ucash to EBux...I won't have to change the phrase in this one!!!

Great hack...happy to see this out...now it's time for some plugins. Will you have a system for us to easily import products and stuff into the store to purchase? I am wondering if you are going to have a way to import products in the admincp or hooks for plugins to be written?

***EDIT*** I just read the product description and noticed there will be support for adding actions in the admincp in the future.

[PennylessZ28]

Very nice work!

[Zia]

sounds too kool...
is that similar to ushop/ucash?

does it support download system too????

[Makaveli105]

installed and workin great, needs a few features tho, but your just startin! i love it, no bugs to report yet.

[The Chief]

omg, this is AWESOME and will easily become the HOTM, good job!!

I will definaetly install something like this when I think of some way to make it easily adaptable with my forums..

cool!

[lordnex]

I have the first bug. It's minor but I don't know how to fix it. I have switched over to use the vbookie default table for points (because with vbookie can only use it's own or ucash but nothing else - it's a yes/no thing). The display for points ONLY shows the points in the ebux field. It does correctly put the points into vbookie_cash field (tested to be correct). How do we show the right amount if it's not the default field.

I had originally used ushop but when I uninstalled it it deleted the field (ahwell) but if I put "ushop" as the field for this to use it doesn't create it (just means it needs to be an existing field).

Oh.. found a HUGE bug. LOL..

If you have 0 cash on hand and try to deposit 5 it gives you the correct "you don't have enough"
If you have 0 in the bank and try to withdraw 5 it gives you the correct error too.
If you have 0 in the bank and withdraw -5 points you get 5 points in your active points and your bank balance is -5 (which is no good)

If you deposit -5 points it withdraws 5 points and puts it into your hand.
If you withdrawl -5 points it adds a free 5 points to your bank BUT it gave me : Current Points Total: 18,446,744,073,709,552,000.00

Ugh! That needs to be fixed. LOL. I'll just disable the bank (if possible) until it's fixed.

[Colejo]

When someone is looking at the estore it does not show up under the location under Who's Online. No big deal but I thought I would let you know.

[Colejo]

Great job by the way.

[caimakale]

If you withdrawl -5 points it adds a free 5 points to your record BUT it gave me : Current Points Total: 18,446,744,073,709,552,000.00

Ugh! That needs to be fixed. LOL. I'll just disable the bank (if possible) until it's fixed.
I wish I could get my real bank to make that error!

[Makaveli105]

^^dont we all, lol

im gonna continue to test this tomorrow, thanks for the mod, great job :D

[Colejo]

The changes to the username don't show up if you use the Post Reply button but do show up if you use Quick Reply.

ETA: When you reply under a post it makes the username changes of the previous post not show up.

[shaynehammy]

I hope this gets incorporated with Vbookie to use the Ucash option.

[Hellcat]

WOW!
A points/store system that does not need file edits....

THAT's what I have been waiting for!
I'm going to check this out on my private test install and be pretty sure to install on my live board if there are no big issues/bugs, so I'll click that INSTALL button already :)

[Hasann]

Gr8 work!

[Stangsta]

All nice features, I will add some more admin features over the next day or so.

Some of the features I'm going to add tomorrow off the top of my head include:
1) Admin Feature: Copying points from ucash fields over to the eBux's field, and forum settings of points perview/perthread/perreply.

-CMX
Can you please add the ability to purchase a secondary usergroup, and to change OTHER users avatars and OTHER users user titles?

[Sai01]

how bout change user title? wait, did you add that in yet?

anyways, those this work on 352?

[Stylina]

THAT'S COOOL

Gr8 woork CMX =)

[Dr.Jeckyl]

feature request: Lottery

other than that, koodos.

[Gamersource]

Also, the glow works great... o m g

CM, looks like you'll be adding quite a few things extra. LOL

[BLazeD1]

Kick ass work man, I look forward to reading people reviews of this mod

[AshokForums.com]

Cool.. thanks for this :)

[AshokForums.com]

Few screenshots would be coool :)

[VaaKo]

/me clicks install

[samu2]

The only problem I am having is when I post I get points but then when I go and view a thread my points disapear?

[Zia]

hmm the featuer..we need more Good feature...

after all of this ..can it handle download system with point/credit system?

download is the most most most important...

[samu2]

Ok and when I change my name colour it doesnt work.

[CrazyShooter]

maybe cause your admin? I tried too, and i think its because i already have an admin username color..

Is it possible to add items like Ban a user for X ammount of days. And to make a forum on home page for XXXXX amount of cash

Also it would be great if you can donate to people on the Postbit legacy, say theres a little donate button after the online button

[VaaKo]

is there any chance to disable few colors from the "username color" thing?
I don't use my members to user the colors that admins/moderators use!

[mikeylikesitz]

Great!, im glad to see someone released this. Thanks for the effort!

[Murty]

It would be cool to add things to the eStore like:

- right to have own avatar
- right to have own signature
- access X once you have Y bux

etc etc, great work, been watching uShop closely but isnt getting anywhere. Once a few more features are added and becomes more stable, will be installing. Top work man

[ronoxQ]

Hack of the Month. Easily.

Just two things: 1) can you add the Secondary Usergroup feature, and 2) can you let admins add their own items to the store?

[Cyricx]

The only thing it's missing for me is the ability to change other's titles :)

Having wars with the titles is hella fun. I've whipped up a script here www.mmogcommunities.com/forums/titlewars.php

If you want any of the code hollar, its got some bugs in it though in regards to having a max length and when people use " it burps. But if it will help ya get this one going, I'm all for helpin :)

[MissKalunji]

very nice! installed just waiting for the vcash integration and will be good to go!

[o0oicebergo0o]

I'm not sure if I read the summary right but jsut to clear it up I have a quick question

Does it give points to the thread creator when others reply to their thread?

I know I saw it stating that when someone views your thread you get points, but how about when they reply.

[Red Blaze]

Going to install ASAP. I'll definatly donate something via PayPal for your troubles. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[vietkieu_cz]

This is uShop :)
Thank you very much!!!!
vietkieu_cz clicks Install

[Sooner95]

very nice... gonna wait a few days to install as I imagine alot of addons and changes will be made. Great work m8, maybe this will light a fire under the Ushop peeps.

[Daniel]

Awesome :) Installed

[The Notorious]

Good job, finally someone who actually puts something out! Keep this going.

[Reeve of shinra]

100 posts easilly ;)

I still need to install this later but an expiration on features like the custom title (with revert to normal) would be great.

[EasyTarget]

feature requests for estore:
Ban User
Change another user's title
Change another user's name
Sticky a thread
Move thread to top
Move thread to bottom
Change thread title

[Sykoi]

Looks great, been looking for a new cash system that actually works well :D
Any plans to add v3Arcade integration?

[Mephisteus]

feature requests for estore:
Ban User
Change another user's title
Change another user's name
Sticky a thread
Move thread to top
Move thread to bottom
Change thread title

Ban user? Change another users name? Change thread title?

Are you intent on having chaos on your forums by having people that were banned just for the heck of it, cant login because they dont know their name (and thus have to do all kindsa funky stuff like reset the password) and changing thread titles letting people actually LOSE the thread?

Same kind of reasoning for the other options including move to top/bottom and sticky. Also user title I am just dead set against personally. You really dont want to have users invading eachothers account...

Just my 2 cents :)

Also, looks good, if it gets some nice new features Ill dig it :) (the whole modify look and shit of user names and titles isnt really my thing :p however a shop to get people posting is :))

[creedmaniac]

request > disable some elses signature (possibly for x ammount of days?)...should be able to set the cost per day

also...anything that you can change for yourself...there should be an option to do it to someone else...i love starting wars ;)

will deff be click install in a few days once it gets stable

[Deimos]

Great hack, thankyou

I'll donate some funds to ya, if you get the ribbons/gifts hack working with this! :)

[CrazyShooter]

I would love to have ban a user... But in a differant way..

1000 points for the actual ban, then 2000 points per day to keep the ban alive, but the maximum is only 7 days

[The Chief]

This really is an awesome hack, I'll try to donate some money later on when I install it ;)

[creedmaniac]

also, some of these things...such as any 'bad' stuff like changing anothers title, or pretty much anything that changes someone elses stuff...could it be set to require admin/mod approval?

[JBMoney]

Excellent, but NEEDS VBookie tie in.

[CrazyShooter]

What is vbukie

[The Chief]

Excellent, but NEEDS VBookie tie in.

I wouldn't think that it would be neccessary as vBookie uses its own system points, but yeah I guess it could be useful...

Ban user? Change another users name? Change thread title?

Are you intent on having chaos on your forums by having people that were banned just for the heck of it, cant login because they dont know their name (and thus have to do all kindsa funky stuff like reset the password) and changing thread titles letting people actually LOSE the thread?
well for one I would have it ban them to a special forum, not banned altogether. and yes, I guess I like a bit of chaos. There's a lot of flaming on my board and I think this would just give them more tools to help the flames :D

The options could be set for like a 24 hour period only, or just make it so the other user has to buy his name/title/thread title back, etc.

But for the ban one, I would try to find a way to redirect the user to the 'banned' forum or they'd get a special popup informing them of what had happened, who paid to ban them, etc.

yeah, I agree that would be pretty cool :)

[CrazyShooter]

When do u think you can add some of these store objects?

[lordnex]

Excellent, but NEEDS VBookie tie in.

I found some big bugs but you can change the ebux filed to the vbookies cash field and they can use the same totals.

I think people should chill out a bit on suggestions (can you tell there was some pent up urges here?) until a good and generally bug free version is out.


MAKE SURE YOU TURN YOUR BANKS OFF UNTIL IT IS PATCHED

heh.. I'll make a suggestion - the option to reset everyone's bank accounts. :D

[NuclioN]

also, some of these things...such as any 'bad' stuff like changing anothers title...
Yes Title war whas very populair on our forums. Please add :)

[JBMoney]

I wouldn't think that it would be neccessary as vBookie uses its own system points, but yeah I guess it could be useful...

vBookie does have its own system points, but if you are using vBookie and uCash, as many people do, it makes absolutely no sense to use two 'currencies' (one to bet with and one to do everything else). For this reason, vBookie has long been set up to use its own currency OR uCash/UttStore. Since this is essentially a replacement for uCash/UttStore, and one would hope a long-term one, it makes sense that vBookie should have a tie in.

That said, doing so is probably a vBookie issue and not an eBux issue.

However, it's probably an easy thing to do, and would certainly speed acceptance of this over similar hacks.

I've posted on vBookie too.

[LBSources]

wow folks arent even letting this settle in and already making requests.. wait and see if as it is .. just stock if its full of bugs before suggesting all kinds of mods and exhausting the coder with questions to answer rather then nuke bugs found.. and develope further .. people annoyed about the ushop development .. but ushop is trying to incorporate so much.. now we have half of that (ushop) and folks are already overdoing it.. LMAO

just my 2 cents

[EasyTarget]

feature requests never hurt anyone, and its better to get them in while its in beta than later. Its easier to code with an end product in mind than to have to change the end product later to try and add stuff.

[Wild-Wing]

holy hanna this is a god sent. thank you.

Thanks a lot!!!!

request these feature:
- Transaction history (donation history)
- Item Shop
- Richest user (stats)

[Cyricx]

Someone made the comment about changing others titles might piss people off.

One of the solutions I did was to let people buy an "exemption". When they purchase that feature it removes their usertitle and makes it to where noone can change their title, and they cannot change anyone elses.

Kinda lets them choose to not be in the title wars game :)

Of course they have to purchase an un-exempt to start joining in the wars again in the future :P

This theory could be applied to alot of other things so that those that find it fun to mess with each other can, and those that don't want to, can choose not to :)

Or even setting it up so that if someone is on your ignore list, or vice versa, you can't mess with any of their stuff and they can't mess with any of yours :)

[JBMoney]

Someone made the comment about changing others titles might piss people off.

This was the most popular feature at my board. This and 'donate' were the two items UTTStore users regularly continued to use after the 'newness' wore off. They had a lot of fun with it. Only twice did I get complaints, but both from people who didn't even know what the store was (they thought I did it). After they knew, they did it back and had fun.

I just made sure that it was significantly more expensive to change someone else's title than your own. That way the victim was never put out too much in changing it back, and the perpetrator knew it was likely for short-term kicks.

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Lots of good ideas today, I'm working on v1.0.1 right now as you read this.

The following bugs will be fixed in the v1.0.1:

1) Users can only see options they are available to purchase in eStore.
2) Bank/Donate/Admin Donate gives an error for negative transfer amount in eStore.
3) eStore shows up in Who's Online now.
4) If you changed the ebux field name, it will display the proper points amount in postbit.

Gonna add some more admin features, then release.

In the Admin CP, each option has an "Active" field. You can disable bank/donate features for now until v1.0.1 is released.

Also dont forget when you edit an option, you can set usergroups that are allowed for that option and usergroups that are deined that option.

I want to be able to remove / reset everyones money... And i would also like to be able to remove one persons cash, without admin donate :) Thanks alot

I've got this installed and working perfectly otherwise (the glow is a very cool effect). I'm looking forward to the bug fixes.

[cOuNtErFiET]

is there any way that you can add a transaction hack for this store/bux system so that the members can see what has been donated and to who and a reason for donation like the one for ucash/ushop, i know this thread is for the shop but just wondering, and yes im new to the whole vb stuff just thought this post might fit in here if not them im sry, i currently run 3.0.8 and would like to upgrade to 3.5.3 but this hack and the no transactions hack(yet) for this bux/store hack are holding me back from it until they are released and working quite well so you plan on doing one of these or anyone soon?

also yea i think once 1.0.1 is releasse i might give it a go i need the admin donate and donate working well for my site...lol thanks

[mikeylikesitz]

Great hack! I have only one little problem. I changed the Field for the points. E.G. I have 37221 points, but ebux says I only have 37 points. I've messed with the decimal places and there is no change. What am I missing?

Thanks for the hard work!

There was a slight issue in the plugin that calculated the "total points" to display in the postbit, it was using the 'ebux' name itself, I have changed it to use the vbulletin option 'ebux_pointsfield', so it should be reporting properly once you install the v1.0.1 version.

[mcyates]

sorry, it was caused by some of my files not being fully uploaded.

There's an admin option for this under eBux Options -> Mass Giveaways to clear out everyones bank and/or points.

It sounds like you may not have reuploaded the UPLOAD/admincp/estore.php file, try to reupload it and overwrite if your FTP asks.

-CMX

[lordnex]

Minor bug.
If you deposit .5 it reduces a full 1 point from your listed points on hand (but increases your bank by .5) If you do it additional times it increases your bank account by the .5 but does not decrease your on hand balance. I've tried this quite a few times so I'm fairly certain about this one. I know this may seem trivial but I'm just thinking long term and if the bug is there perhaps there's another way to exploit it.

[mcyates]

It would be good if you could buy a weekly pass for the Arcade V3arcade!!

Thanks inadvance for a great hack.

[lordnex]

Just a minor addition to my note above. When looking over a user and the "eBux eStore Editing Options " the "Points" total seems to have no decimal places, yet the "bank" has 5 decimal places. This might be related to that point above. I have my forums setup for .5 points per page view so this may or may not be working.

[lordnex]

except for v3 arcade there is no hack that charges users to play in the arcade. Why have a weekly pass or do you mean that people would have to buy this to pay at all? That would suck.

I'm still having the same problem in the store section. I have 47,000 points but it only shows that I have 47.... ????

I've updated all of the files.

[DJ XtAzY]

im just wondering if its possible to use these points for attachments? Like everytime a member wants to download a attachement, they will need 'x' amount of points before they can download. If that member doenst have enought points, an error will say that he needs at list x points before that member can download. Is this feature possible?

just wanan bring this up again, is this a possible feature for future releases?

[Sooner95]

Coolness.. doing a nice job of updatign this already..

Saw one person state that this will work with vbookie? Is this true still if vbookie is using Ucash, or does it have to be using the vbookie cash?

See all the requests for integration with v3arcade, don't forget about IBpro Arcade, it has a large user base as well. (And no, it would not be stupid to have member purchase a week, or daily pass to play arcade games, its a great way of boosting participation. Forums suck when no one posts.)

keep up the fine work!

These are great ideas, please say you are going to implement them :) the ability for people to buy an exemption would make the title wars totally workable on my forums. Also another great option would be if the admin could also exempt certain users or groups from title wars as I have some members with VIP titles that I would not like messed with.

Before I forget, great work with this.

The changes to the username don't show up if you use the Post Reply button but do show up if you use Quick Reply.

ETA: When you reply under a post it makes the username changes of the previous post not show up.

I'm still seeing this problem after the updates and didn't see anyone else mention it. Is this not happening for anyone else?

[lordnex]

Does not this just change the users name out right in the VB database? That's how the ushop did it. It permanently changed the name. How can it change your name and NOT change the name on a post or such?

[Sai01]

maybe it's best if i just wait for this to be stable...

It keeps telling me my user title is too long. how do i adjust the allowable length?

[Ignignokt]

I think you are drawing the wrong option for changing user titles regarding the length. It is taking the maxlength from ['maxuserlength'] instead of an option relating to the customusertitle.

Also, the glowing usernames do not show up in firefox.

THat's there isn't it? You can turn the entire thing on or off and can restrict each item by usergroup.

That would explain it! I have my custom titles set at 100 chars, but it's cutting me off at 20, which is my username limit.

[Ignignokt]

In action.changeotherusertitle.php

Find:

if (strlen($newusertitle) > $vbulletin->options['maxuserlength'])

Replace with:

if (strlen($newusertitle) > $vbulletin->options['ctMaxChars'])

In action.changeusertitle.php

if (strlen($newusertitle) > $vbulletin->options['maxuserlength'])

Replace with:

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

To answer some questions:
1) Change Username changes the name inside the database.
2) I dont have vBookie installed, maybe I'll install it to look at compatibility issues sometime this weekend.
3) I have changed it to use the proper setting for maximum user title length. (It still uses the username minimum as a minimum value for user titles.)
4) You can set options accessible per usergroup from the Admin CP by setting the allowed usergroups or the denied usergroups. (By default, if its not in the allowed usergroups its already denied too.)
5) I will be adding a v3Arcade Pass (This is the entire reason I wrote this hack, I need this for my forums before I can add more Arcade Games. Probably will be done/started by the weekend.)

ALSO: If you change the points field, make sure its compatible with DECIMAL values, some points fields might be Integers and not DECMIMAL(30, 5) fields.

I've almost gotten v1.0.2 ready for release, I'm tidying up just a bit... stay tuned ....

Whenever i try to change something in the ACP, there should be a process phrase like it said in the php file, but it wont show up and i cant mass give or even mass forum settings. It also says eStore v1.0.0 in the title bar when processing

EDIT: I also disactivated Colored Username but it still shows up in the store. Or is it because I'm admin?

[caimakale]

I ran the uCash integration option in the admincp...it only transferred the points that were in the users pocket. Any money in the bank didn't get transferred. Is that the same thing everyone else experienced? What about previous purchases like glowing usernames and such that are also in ebux, are those settings supposed to transfer?

[Ignignokt]

Purchasing the glow username (possibly others) causes the $user is online image to be sent to the next line, making it look bad.

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Most of the problems people are having are because they did not reupload the entire UPLOAD folder to their servers root folder. The fact that the admin script says v1.0.0 shows that you did not upload the new UPLOAD/admincp/estore.php because in this file is a DEFINE that is define('ESTORE_VERSION', '1.0.2');

Therefore if you have upload the files via FTP with the option to "overwrite" all files on your FTP server, it would say v1.0.2 and the options should work.

As far as the points not showing up in the template, that could also be because files were not uploaded as there was a plugin that changed to fix, make sure when upgrading to use Allow Overwrite YES when importing the product-ebux_estore.xml file again.

The glow username will push something to the next line as it uses a 'div' to set the style for the glow, I've tried to use 'span' for the html tag but span doesnt work due to DOCTYPE problem. If anyone has any suggestion on a different html tag to use I'll incorporate it.

Also, if you do not use the ebux points field, make sure that the points field you are using allows Decimal values, if it does not, then you must use exact integers for your points per thread view/thread/reply/reputation/etc..

-CMX

[vietkieu_cz]

I've done with Glow CMX :)

Go to AdminCP/Styles & Templates/Style Manager/ edit Template Postbit/

<else />
$post[musername]
</if>
</div></div>


Step 2:
Plugin System/Plugin Manager/eBux / eStore - Postbit
Edit this Plugin
Find and remove the green code:
// update the musername
$post['musername'] = "<div style=\"filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Glow(Colo r=" . $post['glowcolor'] . ",Strength=7); width:100%\">" . $post['musername'] . "</div>";

Done!

Hey CMX, When i try to reset everyones points it comes up with a blank page, i have uploaded everything and downloaded it twice.. I double checked

[[email protected] vbmenu_register("postmenu_889231", true);]

sounds absolutely f*****g awesome glad a store is finally released. One big thing i would like to request forit...

v3 arcade. back in the day when lesannes store hack was around you could make point by beign head of the arcade and by taking top place, could you make this a feature of your new HOTM in my eyes??????

Really eager for that addon, the mod actually looks like its the best one ive seen.

Look at the following Screen shots

[[email protected] vbmenu_register("postmenu_889247", true);]

i am willing to donate if you can make it integrate with the arcade as I asked, something like...

-Arcade champion for a game... gets however many point per day..(Untill he/she is beaten.
-The longer a top score hasn't been beaten the more points you get for beating it..
-Make it cost to play a game...
-Make an item avaliable for infinate game plays (Arcade pass)

as i say im willing to donate.

Love the look of this mod :)

Oh this is great. Would it be possible to get a feature like gifts (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=75112)? I have some forums setup for my wife and they love this feature of ushop. Im not going to start migrating the board to 3.5.3 thanks :)

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Look at the following Screen shots

Weird, a k got put into the estore.php file, it will be fixed in the next v1.0.3 release.

I'm working on v3arcade integration, the hooks inside arcade.php, are they working? I've noticed it does not have an /includes/xml/hooks_arcade.xml file, I thought that hooks would not work if they are not "defined"?

The gifts looks like it will need to be an add on, or in the least something that will take some more time to debug/add.

i see that the points are able to be given by posts and such.. what about the bank?

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

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

im just wondering if its possible to use these points for attachments? Like everytime a member wants to download a attachement, they will need 'x' amount of points before they can download. If that member doenst have enought points, an error will say that he needs at list x points before that member can download. Is this feature possible?

I'll look into it.

The steal points (thief) addon from Lesane's store hack whas very populair on our forums. In a later version this disappeared and the gift add whas added but now you have the chance to combine them all in one super store hack (hack of the month, period). Now you have the mood and the energy to boost this store i hope these two will be implanted. :)

thanks again for this wonderful hack!

I am looking forward to see what admin controlls there are, i love playing around with them, and many of my users say that alot more items will be cool..

Someone said that it would be good for us to make our own items, like just put in the name and what it does then it will make it but i said its a bit to hard

I would love the bank to be kind of like this:

It got over looked, but I reuploaded files, uninstalled and reinstalled.

But when I deactive an option it still shows up.

Second, anyone know how to user glow in firefox, apparently only IE users see it. And my site has a large FF users base.

As far as the firefox glow, there is no known way for firefox to handle the glow, the makers of firefox have to add this feature into the browser unfortunately.

You are using the default ebux table?


BTW: v1.0.3 is released with Thief support and some other features.

yes, everything is being ran the way it is according to the instructions
is there any mods that are required for this to work or something

CMX, again excellent, don't want to tie up the thread. But this is very much appericated. Adding this has already increased user participation in the forum. Which is good. So thank you.

[PennylessZ28]

I just had an idea. Why not make it so the Admin can set & use CSS for Username Markups?

[Stangsta]

can you make it so when a thief attempt fails, the amount of points risked goes to the person they tried to steal from?

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

yes, everything is being ran the way it is according to the instructions

No, but having said that there might be some plugins that are incompatible with this hack. I'm running a fair number of plugins at my own forums and its displaying properly.

Edit your plugin for postbit_display_complete for the eBux / eStore and make sure near the top it says ...


// add the points to the userinfo
$post['points'] = number_format($post[$vbulletin->options['ebux_pointsfield']], $vbulletin->options['ebux_decimalplaces']);


This is where it formats the number and sets the number of decimal places to be used according to your ebux_decimalplaces setting. Also make sure you have set this setting inside eBux Settings, the eStore Settings for decimal places only handles prices/taxes when displaying the purchase items from the estore.php link.


can you make it so when a thief attempt fails, the amount of points risked goes to the person they tried to steal from?


Yeah, I could probably add an option inside eBux Settings in the next release.

Sorry to ask again but I suspect you missed it the first time. Do you have any plans to add the ability to buy the option to protect your title that you mentioned in an earlier post? Also if you do add that option can you also allow admins to lock titles either by user or group? Without this feature title wars will be unworkable on my forum but with those features title wars should be a lot of fun.

Even if you can't add those, thanks for the great work you are doing.

[Dark s.s. Trunk]

note: I have upgrade to a newer version of it 1.0.3 and still everything works just the points dun show at all..


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

That is the code in postbits legacy

Are you looking at the quick reply box for increasing points? It's one of the most heavily used ways to post.

Same thing here.. its like when you install the product its not editing the Templates fully... like coding is missing after its dun...
After that only other problem is still no numbers next to the points in the postbits

[ChurchMedia]

This is working great for me and my board. Lots of people using it with no complaints.

I wrote a new action that allows members to trade points for physical items (like a book or calendar). It PMs the address of the user to the site owner and a receipt to the user. The only downside right now is that you have to insert the data for the action manually. When CMX gets that part of the hack done, I'll release my add-on. If you want it now, PM me and I'll send you instructions.

The developer of v3arcade has quit supporting his product. He did this with the last version too. He shows up...codes the project...gets people to buy his "premium support" and then bails on them. Maybe when vbulletin 4.0 is released we will see him again.

***EDIT*** The developer actually posted on his site today (finally) and says he is going to start bux fixes and a new version. Hopefully this is the truth...only time will tell...........

Alrighty.. Installed. Smooth, no probs

First ran the Ucash Intergration, said it would take a bit, tho doesnt give you any indication its done..none the less after about 2 minutes I moved on.

All set, vbookie, store ect all using same points system.

Great work, looking forward to further updates with more items for store.

Right now you will have to edit the action.changeotherusertitle.php file and remove the part that says...


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

the glowing names does not work in Firefox, hell never has.. that is a firefox thing.

Forgot to add..

Only thing I could see to add, that would be of use, is the donation link in ones USERCP..prob not that hard to do.. just have to figure out which template to edit..

Its not a big deal and certainly doesnt need to be done ASAP.

Not even worried about the quick reply thing.. if they want the points, then go advanced baby..LOL

@Dark ss.. no one is ignoring you, this thread is but 2 days old and is large..have some patience..dude has his hands full..

Only thing I can think of for you issue, is to check to see if perhaps other hacks on your board could be interfering with it. Maybe its a theme thing?? just throwing things out there..

Theif works great except when you have 1 bux you can still try and steal 100 off another user and if you fail it takes you into the negative.

Yeah shame about the firefox glow thing, too bad theres no work around.
Keep up the good work much appriciated.

Can anybody confirm if this transfers the banked points into ebux? The system transfers the visible points from ucash, but it didn't transfer over the points from the bank.

The Trade real money for points via Paypal is possible, but a bit tricky and I need to do some heavy research before doing this, is there someone who already made a hack to do something similar to this?

Lottery System, good idea, I'll see if I can add one in the near future.

Thief Percentage based on reputation, how would that work, the higher the reputation the better chance of stealing, or the lower the reputation (the higher the scumbag...) therefore the better chance of stealing? :)

i assume it's a firefox problem... ucash/shop in 3.0x doesn't work with firefox either... firefox has more issues than IE... it's good to use but hell for programmer! that's why i don't use it. it blocks some simple java script sometimes... IE takes everything! works with everything!

Yes, you can make addons, however if you do, start using itemid's at 100 and higher, I want to reserve the first 100 slots for any items that I build into the hack directly.

I really need to get the Add Action feature done for the next version. I'm releasing v1.0.4 now, but not sure when I'll get to update it again. It might be AFTER the weekend. So don't be surprised if there are no updates on the weekend, I have to have some days off too :)
