What exactly is vbBux / vbPlaza?

[majorxp]

Please excuse my ignorance - but I really don't quite get it. I really want to understand so keep your sarcastic/obnxious/stupid comments to yourself.

If this has all been answered before and my search skills are lacking, please kindly point me in the right direction.

What is the difference between vbBux and vbPlaza? Can you install just one? Is there a page that simply describes the basic function? I think I get it, but I'm not quite sure.

Can you add items to 'sell' - IE: I have a mmo guild and people could buy items from each other? Can we have a central store where people could buy things that admins add to a list?

What is the purpose of the bank?

What is with the ribbons/gifts? Just stuff to 'give' to people? Do they have any other purpose/function other than showing up in postbit?

Wouldn't a whole bunch of people sticking, removing stickies, moving threads and other things really muck up a board?

Helpful feedback appreciated.

Well the best way to describe it..

U've heard of uCash/uShop, its like that, but on steroids.

It's super beefed up in all aspects with over 130 items that ur users can spend their points on to purchase for ur forums.

It lets ur users compete to earn the most points, buy the latest and greatest protections, start wars with users changing each others custom user title, and much more fun for your users!

vbBux is the same as vbPlaza. vbBux refers to the parts of the hack that earn POINTS for your users to SPEND inside the vbPlaza, which is the store parts of the hack.

As far as selling guild items, it would have to be a custom hack, but it should be fairly easy to create something like this. I'm really surprised there are not more vbPlaza ADDON scripts yet. The vbBux / vbPlaza is REALLY versatile and even has a TON of hooks that it uses as well for developers to use.

The bank's primary purpose is to store ur points without having to worry about some user using the Thief vbPlaza option on u and taking ur points. U also gain interest every X days that you log into the forums, so that will help bring ur users back as the interest ONLY comes thru if they log in every X days that it gives the interest out.

The ribbons/gifts are fun items u can buy for urself, or if enabled, ur users can buy for each other. They show up in the postbit and the member info pages, but other than that, they have no real use, just fun for ur users.

U can CHOOSE which forums u want to allow the users to make sticky threads in! Each of the type of thread options is customizable PER forum that u want to set them in!

All in all, I may be a little biased because I make it, but vbPlaza totally rox the points/store world of vBulletin!

nah you'd be correct.

I've used cash/shop mods for phpbb, smf and IPB and I have to say that your mod is the best and lightyears ahead of them in what you offer. Your mod was enough to sell me on moving my game to vbulletin.

Keep up the good work!
