vB Members Area / Shopping Cart

[Hex_legend]

Here we have a brand new version of vBMA with many more features added to it.


vB Members Area is a member management system, that enables your users to get their own customer number and password. They can then login to the system and purchase / download products that you specify. Each product that they purchase will be issued a unique licence number.

Before your members can download your products, they are required to edit their licence details to include the URL that the product will be installed on.

Due to the product having a seperate login system, your forum login will not work. This makes the modification more secure and will allow for you to delegate what users can access the mod.

What has changed between version 2 and the Beta Versions?

We have got rid of the install procedure, so all that is needed now is a product import. Along with this, there is no activation / validation procedure. There have been many more backend features. Users can now also sell their own products and get the money for it, by having an admin setup their product in the ACP along with the users paypal address in that product settings page.

Is there a PRO version?
Yes. Please do not discuss that here at vb.org as this is a free modifications site. Check out our homepage for this discussion.

Any more?
Yes, There is now also a deluxe version - which cannot be discussed here either as this is a free modifications site. Check out our homepage for this discussion.

Final Note
If you have vBMA Beta Versions installed on your board, please uninstall fully. Remove all the files and the products and any template edits, then please install this product. Please also note that any products you have set up, will be lost, so you will have to reset them again.

Demo: here (http://www.vbmodifications.co.uk)

[Hex_legend]

I would have liked to do this but vBCredits have not given us permission to do so.
This is beyond my control

[Sweeks]

Damn, I would love to be able to allow users to spend their credits using this and purchase usergroup placement. ;)

Until I get permission from vBCredits. I am unable to do this unfortunately.
However, there are plans in the pipeline to make our own credit system for vBMA

If the credits from vbcredits can be ported/transferred that would be great. I dont have a use for this otherwise unfortunately.

This would be fantastic if it had its own forum generated credit system, be keeping an eye on this one.

[Hex_legend]

I don't know how true this is, but I heard that vBCredits may be doing something similar for vBMA at some point. Don't quote me though

[FiMeTi]

Good for admins, who do really have to sell something...for real money tho. :)
Thanks Hex_legend, I will test this.

Cheers!

Hey, you forgot to fixx the filename you?ve attached or maybe the wrong file at all? :)
Regular 2.0.zip
Regular 2.1.zip *fixx

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /includes/class_vbma.php on line 271

This error occurs, but the addon is still working.
Can we somehow get rid of this error or is allow_call_time_pass_reference really needed?

Thanks for letting me know about the filename fix lol.
I assure you its the latest version, just forgot to change the name.

For the allow_call_time_pass_reference, you need to contact your host to remove that. That's a setting they have put on your account - nothing to do with vBMA :)

[jaffaman]

I was looking at your Admin CP Demo when you click Request Customer Number you get an error see below.

TBH i dont think it is somthing our site would use but i though i should let you know about the error.

Fatal error: Existing data passed is not an array
Called set_existing in [path]/demoacp/vbma_admin.php on line 228
in [path]/includes/class_dm.php on line 235

[Hex_legend]

thanks for letting me know :)

[puertoblack2003]

what's the different from this mod and the one's you've release? according the attached image it looks the same.

[Spank]

What's the deal with info that has a strikethrough? Is this info no longer relevant or is info that is only applicable to pro version?

Anyways, nice work!

[FiMeTi]

Fixing ERROR:
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /includes/class_vbma.php on line 271

Open class_vbma.php and find:
function checkProductPermissions(&$product)

and

$perm = unserialize(&$product['permissions']);


erase highlighted in red, safe and upload the file. Should be fine now. :)

:up:

[FiMeTi]

I baught a product for 1€ for testing purpose and found a bug. Or lets call it a dog. :p

When I finish the transaction in PayPal and I press the button "Back to dealer", it will send me back to my Website (/mebers.php) but I always get an error, telling me that there is a Securitytoken missing.
Money is gone, but no license and no access code for the users has been send, neither to email nor to private messages.

You tested the lite version properly? Hope you can fix this error, since the hack is not useable with this bug. ;/
Anyone else can confirm this bug?

[Rich]

I typically skip over the mods on this site where there is a free version and a paid version. Right off the bat I know the script is going to require me to modify it, so I don't typically bother.

I did take a moment though to view your site so I could see what is entailed with this "deluxe" version since people are already posting bugs pertaining to the free version.

I immediately went to see the cost of this script and nearly spit my coffee out.

[FiMeTi]

I immediately went to see the cost of this script and nearly spit my coffee out.

lol :D

I would accept it, when deluxe features would have been integrated into PRO Version at the price of PRO. Hope devs think about this and I bet they get more people to buy this. Drop deluxe version, so we know, that here will not come up another MEGA Version. lol
But sure this product should first work properly. ^^

[Hex_legend]

There isn't much difference in the old Lite version and the new one, just a few fixes.
Thanks for letting me know the latest errors, I will look into this.
The one that we are running on vBModifications is the deluxe version and will be the final release of vBMA. There will be no "Mega" version or anything lol.
We have 3 versions, so that there is:

Free
Cheap
Dearest + All features

Remember that branding free is already included in deluxe.
But I cannot discuss deluxe here

The deal with the strike-through means that its things that no longer apply. People hated the login, so we have an option to disable that now. They do not have to enter the forum url either before downloading products - which is why that is striked-through

[FiMeTi]

/edit

kk never mind...

[newtsys]

Ok still same dang error ..installed just like your directions say to and when clicking on membersarea in the navbar it takes me to the explore page Cant not Display the page..what gives..is there an edit needing to be done...



this is the same I see no diffrence in the other one you posted

[merk_aus]

There is not many changes between the lite versions - but people for the love of GOD! Do not buy pro or deluxe version, although he doesn't want to talk about it here he hired a coder to help him code the deluxe version and fix bugs in pro version - however has not yet paid, and when the REAL coder of these versions took the deluxe version down for not being paid the original poster of this thread banned/deleted the real coder from the website.

This guy is a scammer so use the free version and try to fix bugs as much as you can but for the love of god do not hand over your money.

Hi all

This is very true he is a scammer and has done this to the first coder he had as well.
I would not use anything that has this name Hex_legend or Leigh on any hack or add-on.

[napy8gen]

Wow. thank you for the release.
I always want to find where to find vbulletin.com shopping cart and member download system?
Now I know.

[micheal332001]

iv just been to vbmodifications.co.uk and there site is no longer there he does not want anyone encluding me to be able to get hold of him as he has taken me for a ride with this script.
He has made money from this script and has not payed me the programmer for the work done.

I know that he has done this to a few other programmers as well.
If i had known this before i would not have done any thing for him.

The admins/mods of vbulletin should take this member of as he is trying to rip people off.

[masterweb]

UNINSTALLED...After looking for more info on his site (http://www.vbmodifications.co.uk/) and reading this thread i go for another (and maybe better solution). BTW micheal332001 i registered today on your site.

[merk_aus]

Yeah Michael332001 is a great coder, he coded this product, and have just created a brand new vbdigishop and that is a fantastic script.

[JesterP]

Damn, I would love to be able to allow users to spend their credits using this and purchase usergroup placement. ;)

Purchase the "subscriptions" item type from vBCredits. You can tie usergroups to a subscription purchase.

[aakhan136]

thankssssssssssss

Hi all

Since your listed as a supporter and I have seen nothing but relevant, positive, and helpful post on here by you from as long as I can rmember seeing your name ;) I will go along w/ you and other valued coders on here and steer clear of this one. I had it installed but removed due to statements like this from coders/designers/members alike last month and once you have that many good people saying bad things it means something IMO.

Uninstalled on my clients sites as well, I asked, stated the reasons and they agreed. Very poor management of their site as well IMO.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[imported_silkroad]

I would have liked to do this but vBCredits have not given us permission to do so.
This is beyond my control

Hey Hex!

You don't need permission form vBCredits to pull and update payment information from a vB user database field.

I kindly suggest that you provide a simple API that permits a user / developer to specify a field in the user table and folks can integrate with any back end system they like that writes to the vB user table.

You don't need permissions to do that...

[merk_aus]

What he meant to say was he would like to do this but the coders he hires and don't pay weren't asked to do it so the poor next coder he scams will put this in as Hex would ask him for it!

[Live-Forums]

yeah, don't use this... Leigh completely screwed everyone over... I paid for deluxe license (but never got it... go figure) michael is the REAL coder here.

[micheal332001]

Thankyou for saying that Live-Forums its nice to see someone who sees that hex is the real scammer.
Any ways i have made a better members area/license system than this one now.

[HMBeaty]

i have made a better members area/license system than this one now.
Where? Are you releasing it here?

[TheSupportForum]

i would like to know what happens after there package
expires


do they go back to the usergroup they where on before purchasing a product ?

[bob12]

how do i enable the vbulletin support on this vbulletin member area hack?

[bob12]

how do i fix this error

[bob12]

this error message came up for me when i was testing to buy a music stuff package on the vbulletin member area hack

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

[cbiweb]

Installed, ran into some bugs, came back here for support, promptly UN - IN - STALLED!

Anyone who screws over another coder should be [fill in your own punishment here]!

[Zaki Shafqat]

great MOD I marked is install and MOD of the Month i just loved it

Working fine and just a perfect MOD for my site. Only 1 question please

How can i increase the size of download field i mean see the picture

http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/521/membersarea.jpg

The original name of this file was bigger "Learn Comptia A+ Lesson 02 - Part 01 - Motherboards

But its only showing "Learn Comptia A+ - L"

How can i increase the width so the users can read full name of the file

Thanks

[Zaki Shafqat]

Also i noticed Admins can't access to their Members Area unless they purchase any product? Why is it? Please let me know what settings to change I got my licence Number from (Request Licence option) and now its showing nothing unless i purchase something

[arbfuture]

Would love to be able to ask some question about your vbdigishop, but every post I make needs a moderator to approve it! :rolleyes:

[micheal332001]

You can ask away at my site vb-hacks.com

[metalguy639]

You can ask away at my site vb-hacks.com


I did that is what I'm talking about. Everywhere you go to post on your site you have to have a moderator approve the post. Even in the general area where everyone just chit chats I got that my post was to be approved by a moderator. Kinda overkill IMO and very annoying especially if you want people to buy your products. If they cannot ask questions they will go elsewhere. I posted there a couple of days ago and I still have no posts. And still no moderator approved my posts or even bothered to answer them.

[jluerken]

Is there a vB4.x version already available?

[micheal332001]

Is there a vB4.x version already available?


I do not support this script and will have nothing to do with the poster of this script as he rips you off.

[jluerken]

vBMA attachment will install v1.0.0 not 2.1.0
A license is needed in order to be able to use it.
Webpages of the author seem to be down.
Product reported!

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Can you explain this more? You mean the version as can be downloaded from this thread does not work without a (paid) license?

[jluerken]

Hi Marco,

if you download the attached file its not v2.1 but 1.0.0
After installation you will be asked for a license number. Without you cannot use it.
So it seems the wrong version is attached and this is not for free.
Please someone correct me if I missed the info where I can get a free license code and why I do not see that this is v2.1?

[FreshFroot]

Didn't this company just close down a yr ago or something?

[merk_aus]

Yes the company was forced closed after it was revealled that the person who released this has no coding experience what so ever and refused to pay the man (Michael) who actually coded it all.

This thread has been reported numerous times in an attempt to get it moved but nothing was ever done so i gave up./
