[dartho]

eDIT THE VCASH PHRASE i THINK (oops - caps lock)

[EasyEazy]

Is there a solution for removing the navbar tab but not the subnav options?

Thanks in advance

[dartho]

looks like a vbcredits or otehr money add-on integration issue

[Killabee]

does this work with vbplaza / vbbux?

[dartho]

Hooks are there so that others can integrate with it - check with the developers

[acast]

Edit: It is working the code por Functions_vbookie.php to integrate vbbux in Custom.

Freshly installed on 4.0.4 - didn't do any template edits as instructed, activated everything, set usergroups ok and i still am not seeing anything under threads to create a bookie event (however i DO see a vbulletin menu up top).

When i go into usergroup perms for admins / supermods (groups who should be able to create events) - vbookie/vbulletin won't save the allow vbulletin options. HELP.!

You create a new thread, and just around the usual "add poll to thread" check box, there should be an add vbokie event to trhead option

You might of tried this already, but I had the same problem, I deleted it in the admincp, the re-installed it from the beginning, and now it's working fine, no idea what happenend, but it might work for you too if you haven't tried already.

I'm attaching a screenshot of what I am getting.

check your bb code as both line of that error are to do with
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

[DaninMS]

Thx for the reply. Where would I check this at ?

[dartho]

edit the vbookie.php file and search for those line numbers and replace:
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
with
$bbcode_parser = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

[DaninMS]

ah, thank you that seemed to do it !

Can someone please confirm that this will work OK with vb version 4.1.9?

How can I put multiple bets in one event? I am using this so people can place bets on fighting events which generally have several fights in one event.

Thank you!

[dartho]

add as many out comes as you like, and people can bet on any or all of them

@Adamwingie

Did you install vBExperience vbookie plugin if so which version is it? i know one of the olds casuse this issuse.

what I recommend is just use vcash for now until Phalynx release 4.1.11

[dartho]

It would seem that means you have not configured your currency system correctly in vBookie ?

[edit - Posted before seeing MrSinister's post. I suggest following his recommendations if possible]

[ychromozone]

I may be a complete noob, but I installed all of the .php files in their places and the product.

I see the vbookie tab, but when I click on it, it goes back to my CMS.

I see the option to add thread as vbookie event and can create threads with the option. Then I am redirected to my CMS because apparently the /vbookie.php link is broken somehow.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to install more stuff?

Thanks,

Matt

Is there a way to automatically create vbookie events based on the current sports schedules somehow?

probably - if you hired a programmer to do this for you - which unfortunately wouldn't be me ...

edit vbookie.php and search for:

I'm updating to 1.11 soon, do we know if Vbookie is good for 11 yet. I'm a few versions behind on VB, so I'll be skipping a few on the way to 11.

[sully02]

I had the old vBookie on my site, and just installed this one. One little inconvenience I've noticed...

Whenever I create an event to bet on, I get two separate events. One of them is for the actual thread in question, the other appears to be for an event that was created under the old vBookie system, so for every bet I have two separate events on two separate threads.

Any idea how to fix this so the event only shows up once and doesn't access what appears to have been an old event under the old vBookie which is no longer installed on my forum?

Edit - Looks like I found it. Under the thread table is a vbookie_item_id value, if I edit those to all be reset to 0, in theory, it should wipe out this duplication issue.

Edit 2 - So, long story longer, if you're having the same problem I had, run this query:

UPDATE [prefix]_thread SET `vbookie_item_id`=0;

Where [prefix]_ is the table prefix for your vBulletin tables, if you have those.

[twolegit]

yes vBookie is working perfect on 4.1.11 :) added like 10 events this morning!

[sportsfroma2]

yup, I just upgraded from vb 4.1.10 to 4.1.11, vbookie is still running great in it.

can't be said enough, thanks dartho!

Thanks guys, I'm doing the upgrade today.

Forum running on vbulletin 4.1.1, installed vbookie version 4.0.9

[tehbasmentdwell]

Actually, i see what's happening, the vcash amount is appearing on the line above (after the thanked 44 times in 31 posts), what template do i have to edit to fix that? n00b alert :D

[tehbasmentdwell]

Fixed it by changing the execution order of the plugins, thanks! Marked as installed :)

Is it possible to add vBookie events to existing threads?

[bobster65]

Is it possible to add vBookie events to existing threads?

In theory you could create a new thread, make that new thread a vbookie event, then merge the existing thread into the new vbookie thread.

[dartho]

You can by manually entering in the URL
yoursite.com/vbookie.php?t=nn&do=newevent
where nn is the threadid you wish to add the vbookie event to

[thenamesgould]

Is there a way to see the whole leaderboard?

I know we can see the top five on the stats page, but it would add to the competitiveness if I could post an entire list after each round of games.

[dartho]

you could edit the /includes/functions_vbookie.php file, search for [B]function vbookie_get_richest()[B] and in the query statements below, change the "LIMIT 5" bits to a greater number ... (remove "LIMIT 5" to get everyone)

When does placing wagers for a game close? The beginning of the game?

When do you personally close the wagers?

When should an Event settle? Immediately after the game is over?

[pharlap]

When does placing wagers for a game close? The beginning of the game?

When do you personally close the wagers?

When should an Event settle? Immediately after the game is over?

1. When you set it to close

2. Its done automatically at the time you set

3. No use settling before the result is known.

[Adamwingie]

Nothing has been changed, edited, deleted or messed with in anything.

It was working fine.

[ForceHSS]

you would be best to delete the plugin and all the files and reinstall again as the error you have above has something to do with another plugin as well as the vbookie one "xperience_stats" maybe a old plugin that was not removed right as this table is not default or part of this plugin

[dartho]

Speak to who ever created the xperience integration - that is where it is falling over ...

Edit the vbookie.php file, search for

and replace with
$bbcode_parser = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

Should we all do this if using or upgrading to 4.1.12?

[palalu]

dartho, can u teach me how to add the 'points' if i post something in a thread? like u said.. i must write a plugin.. how? im so newbie T_T please dont be mad lol

[dartho]

I'm a bit too busy for anythjing but basic support at the moment.

By the way, your status suggests that you haven't even downloaded this script?

[palalu]

download vbookie 4.0.9

admincp--manage product--import the file (product-bookiehack-4.0.9)

when i click vbookie menu.. got eror 404..

my vbulletin version is 4.1.11 its compatible? or im wrong?

[dartho]

404 error means file not found which would suggest you either did not upload the files, or they were uploaded to the incorrect directory. Did you upload the contents of the upload directory in the zip to your forum root?

[Pandemikk]

Should we all do this if using or upgrading to 4.1.12?
It's more of your PHP version instead of your vB version. There is no functional change because the version of PHP that shows you that warning already assigns instantiated classes by reference.

Anyone know if this works flawlessly on 4.1.12?

[UK CHI3F]

Yes we had it on 4.1.12 and it was working fine,

Unfortunately we have finished the 4.2 upgrade and all the navigation bar options have disappeared, ie blog, articles etc.

Appears on all other tabs just not bookie.

Find this near the bottom of vbookie.php:


$templater = vB_Template::create('VBOOKIE');
and add these lines above:


$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);
And add a new link to vbookie.php in the Navigation Manager and the relevant sub-nav until the product gets updated

Hi all,

After an upgrade to 4.2.0 I've now got this message when trying to install plugins:

A conflict was detected in the bitfields. You cannot continue with the installation of this product until this has been fixed. The conflicts found were:
Bitfield Collision: canwrtmembers = canpostvbookieevent

A quick look through /includes/xml/bitfield_vbulletin.xml shows:

<bitfield name="canwrtmembers" group="forum_viewing_permissions" phrase="can_wrt_members" install="5,6,7">67108864</bitfield>
And in /includes/bitfield_bookiehack.xml:

<bitfield name="canpostvbookieevent" group="vbookie_permissions" phrase="can_post_vbookieevents" install="2,5,6,7">67108864</bitfield>

So direct conflict with a core vb permissions bitfield in the new version by the look of it.

Have had to disable my vBookie for now to get vbseo running again, so any advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers
J

I'm having the same problem.

I tried to update one plugin and I got this message:

[dartho]

I think that bitfield file is left over from vb3! vBookie 4 has never used bitfields for permissions, feel free to delete it (/includes/xml/bitfield_bookiehack.xml)

[dartho]

You need to delete the /includes/xml/bitfield_bookiehack.xml file.

[nektar]

You need to delete the /includes/xml/bitfield_vbulletin.xml file.


Are you sure?

I deleted it and then tried to install a product and I got the following error: (part of it as it is quite big)


Fatal error: Could not open [path]/includes/xml/bitfield_vbulletin.xml in [path]/includes/class_bitfield_builder.php on line 130

[nektar]

I deleted /bitfield_bookiehack.xml and it seems to be ok now.
I guess this is what you meant since the one you propose to delete is a vbulletin file...

[dartho]

OOPS.. yes - bitfield_bookiehack.xml - bad copy and paste on me behalf there. I'll edit my above posts.

[New Joe]

does this work with vb4.2.0?

Or do I have to do any fixes from some of the above posts?
Will dartho be up dating this for 4.2.0?

[thenamesgould]

I'm not sure how to add the subnav parts either (assuming this is the links to the vBookie Home, Your Bets, Bet Statistics, Books part that goes below the vBookie tab).

Can anyone help with some explanation on how to do it? Pleeeease? :)

[wilford brimley]

Yes the sub nav isnt working even if you add that patch^

Hey, dartho, is there a way to change the display name of the vcash? even just how it reads under the avatars. I'd like to use a custom name. Thanks.

edit: i figured it out myself. search in phrases "vcash". edit phrase "vbookie_vcash" to whatever you want. i usually jsut add things to the "english translation" box and leave the original code.

[sitwi]

A partial solution to the sub-nav - here are the pages that it should link to:

vBookie summary: domain.com/vbookie.php
vBookie stats: domain.com/vbookie.php?do=stats
Open bets: domain.com/vbookie.php?type=OPEN
Settled bets: domain.com/vbookie.php?type=SETTLED
Your bets: domain.com/vbookie.php?do=bets

I'd be grateful if someone could give me some guidance on why my bookie page is breaking out of the template, please? See this page (http://sitwining.co.uk/vbookie.php). (As opposed to the usual template (http://sitwining.co.uk/credits.php)). Thanks!

Not sure if this will work but you could try inserting the code below in your VBOOKIE template of your custom style

Insert is just above the </head>

That actually worked a treat, first time.

Seems to work, apart from the nav bar. It doesn't want to work with that, currently.

[sitwi]

Can anyone please give any pointers why this doesn't work with the navbar on 4.2, please?

It doesn't show, even on an otherwise vanilla installation with the default style?

Appreciate any help.

[dartho]

Short story is, it doesn;t work correctly with 4.2 as it wasn;t written for 4.2, but you would have seen that it wasn't compatible when you upgraded your test site before upgrading your live site. ;)

I really don't have the time to look at this at the moment, but will happily post fixes if someone has them to put forward.

[sitwi]

It is on a test site.

Thanks though.

I also am needing the fix for 4.2....anyone get it to work?

[datoneer]

I don't see where is create events?? vb 4.1.1.2

Help please??

[dartho]

Create a new post and you should have an option to make a new vbookie event assuming your settings are correct

[datoneer]

No not working. What did i forgot? Anyway i'm using template modification system mod

[hunter22375]

Anyone get a fix for use in 4.2.X yet? Thanks.

[LgsOfChampions]

i got it installed! just doesnt show me any links/buttons to place bets etc. like in the pic

[ZacFields]

Does anyone have a fix for the template issue at all? My logo shows up larger on the vbookie.php page and it only shows one link on the navigation. There's got to be at least a quick band-aid fix for this.

Football season is just around the corner - we use this thing a lot!

[hunter22375]

Thanks....IT WORKED!!!!

[PamelaE]

Hello,

I have installed on 4.2 and made some of the template changes here but have the following issues:

1. Vcash is showing in postbit but above the word VCASH:

2. None of the nav options are showing - main nav or dropdown

I can post an event within a new thread but I can't seem to find any options to delete an event. I deleted an event in the new thread part but it still shows on /vbookies.php

Any ideas?

For te Vcash position I tried to change the execution order as mentioned but there were no details. Do I have to change the order for all vbookie plugins or just one and change it to what?

Thank you. If not is there an alternative to vbookies?

[burdaindir]

Thanks .

[hunter22375]

I had a member post an event to start on Aug 7 and pay out on Aug 31. But...it reverted to payout on Aug 7. I even went in and edited the event but still, it reverts to Aug 7. Anyone have any ideea why?

[hunter22375]

Anyone?

[svaghari]

How hard/difficult it would be to make the vbookie home page graphically little bit more appealing? Add a banner, and some graphics to main page, maybe a logo...

Still have the issue in post #869. Can someone please help me with this?

[pharlap]

I seem to recall something about a time limit....just wondering if this was it

[hunter22375]

I just went through the settings but could not find anything about a time limit. Thanks though. Anything else anyone?

It appears if you try to accept bets up till the day before a game and then payout a day after the game is over, vBookie just makes the end betting date and payout date the same regardless of what you set the payout date. I PM'd the coder for assistance last week but received no response.

[hunter22375]

Can anyone help with this please? Football season is comming up and we use it alot

[kotlt99]

write a function and then create a CRON ENTRY to run that function once a month.

anyone please helppp :(, how to do that ??

[hunter22375]

Seems there is no support for this mod anymore.

[dartho]

There is no support for this under vb 4.2

However, the problem you are reporting seems pretty insignificant. Why dont you just set the payout date the same as the closing date? Payouts are manual anyway and that date is just for reminders for you, I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect anything else...

Just upgraded my test site to 4.2 and I can't reproduce this problem.

[dartho]

Updated. If you have manually added the navigation manager details (for example as suggested https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2331967#post2331967 by Trevor Hannant - Thanks!), there is no need to upgrade as this is the only change.

Odd - it doesn't show anything for registered members, regardless of usergroup. I've added every usergroup id to the setting with exception of the non-registered users.

[cygy2k]

Any help on why betting outcomes aren't shown to logged in users regardless of usergroup even though they're entered in the allowed to bet field? I can see the above only when logging out.

[dartho]

Set me up with an account with suitable permissions and I'll see what I can find.

This and other reported problems (other than the fixed navigation) do not exist on a test site recently upgraded to vb4.2 so not sure what I will be able to do.

I suggest turning on HTML comments for template names, viewing source code and then log out and view source code and compare the two to see what differences there are. If you'd like me to look - you'll need to turn this option on also or allow me admincp access so I can

However.... the menu is now mixed up ( see image )

ok, just checked the xml for v4.2.0 and these strange names for links are in that xml... from lines 1833 thru to 1896


so just to recap....using the xml form 4.0.9 , the events show but menu is muddled
using the xml from 4.2.0 , the events are not showing up, menu is fine

[cygy2k]

I figured it out - the issue on 4.2.0 is that the xml is missing the template "vbookie_outcomebit". In style manager, create a template named "vbookie_outcomebits" and paste in the following...

Based on cygy2k finding the missing template, you should be able to re-install 4.2 and manually add the template as described by him above. Don't uninstall as you will lose past events, just over write.

There is a S missing in the title template title ;)

Thanks for this fix, was having the same issue, did have to add the s at the end of the title.

[wilford brimley]

i thought i mentioned this already but you forgot to edit vbookie.php to reflect the new version.

i just edited it.

in vbookie.php find

$vbookie_version = '4.0.9 - Updated for vBulletin 4 by <a href="http://twf.com.au">Coach</a>';

change to

$vbookie_version = '4.2.0 - Updated for vBulletin 4 by <a href="http://twf.com.au">Coach</a>';

also the "respawed! productions" link is dead. i dont know if i should just delete it or what but i edited it to direct just to his homepage and not /vbookie. it just goes to an image as it looks like his site is dead and just a placeholder.

on masterstyle>vbookie templates>vbookie

find
<div class="smallfont" style="text-align: center"><br /><i><b>vBookie</b></i> {vb:raw vbookie_version}<br />Copyright 2004 Daren "Rico" Chandisingh<br />A <a href="http://www.respawned.co.uk/vbookie/" target="_blank">Respawned!</a> production.

if its cool with you to just erase that totally then I will. if you are the new owner then you "coach" control the copywright.

I'm building my site from scratch! So just added a fresh install, however, this didn't work for me.

he messed it up. you need to name the template
vbookie_outcomebits

[1320Nation]

I downloaded the last update for this mod and had planned to install it. But after reading the dozen or so post it appears this mod is currently screwed up?

I'd like to know if things are ok to proceed with updating, or does there need to be some revisions done to the mod 1st?

[wilford brimley]

it works for me but only after i created that template. i was using 4.0.9 before.

i havent settled a bet yet, im going to tomorrow and will check back to let you know if my event worked.

[wilford brimley]

it worked.

[My Hattiesburg]

It's working for us on 4.2 as long as you add that template that's been posted about above.

[da prez]

Added template and now I can see the box to bet and settle, but the math isn't right.

It appears to be adding 1 in the odds.

300/100 should be 3 right ?
100/360 should not have a 1 in front of the .28

Any ideas ?

Correct.

With traditional odds you get your stake back.

If you look thru this thread you will find how to change it to the way you want it

[halkum]

Dumb question, but is there a way to get this to work on the default vbulletin mobile skin?

I have:
- Manually added in the vbookie templates.
- Added the original new thread code to the newthread template.

I can MAKE new vBookie post from mobile, but the actual vBookie portions don't show in the post.

Anyone tried this?

[dartho]

Do Polls show in the mobile style? This hooks into them to get displayed ...

[Hanany95]

This may be the very noobiest question but how do you create a bet? Thanks.

[ringnews24]

I followed the installation guide but when I go to settings/options I cant find vbookie.

Help Please

[dartho]

This may be the very noobiest question but how do you create a bet? Thanks.

Create a new thread. There should be a check box option to add a vbookie event near the option to add a poll...

[ringnews24]

I managed to get vbookie installed http://ringnews24.com/boxingforum/vbookie.php

And I created an event but how do you actually bet on an event?

[da prez]

Make sure the vBookie permissions are set properly.
And a couple of pages back there is a template addition you have to do.

Is this needed for 4.0.9 ?


I just installed this and have some problems..
1. text doesn't show up.. either there is no text (or when on white the text is white & on dark the text is dark.?)
2. is there a way to allow the subnav menu without the navtab button.?
I tried turning it off, & link straight to it, but then there is no subnav menu. also there is no text when making a post, just a check box.

Installed version 4.0.9 on vB Version 4.1.3
Thanks for any help.

One of our mods settled a bet before the actual event ooops LOL is there anyway to unsettle the bets and return the credits back to how they were?

There isnt a way to unsettle bets.

Is vBookie 4.0.9 the correct version to install if i am running vB4.1.3. (looks to me as if vBookie 4.2.0 is for vB 4.2.x)

Thanks, i got major issues & im not sure why.

Yes,

vbookie 4.2.0 is for vbulletin 4.20 ( the difference related only to the navbar not showing up )

[Gamelobby]

Yes,

vbookie 4.2.0 is for vbulletin 4.20 ( the difference related only to the navbar not showing up )

Would it work if i am running 4.1.3 ?
I think my issue is because the version before 4.2 is made for 4.0.9, & my vB is 4.1.3 so it isn't up to date. I'm thinking 4.2 might cover whatever is causing the issues, but im afraid it'll screw up my navbar. lol

Any ideas.. or can anyone confirm vBookie 4.0.9, works fine with vB 4.1.3 ?
Thanks :cool:

[johon]

Fixed it by changing the execution order of the plugins, thanks! Marked as installed :)

Can someone explain how to change the execution order in 4.2, as I have the same problem?

Thanks.

What "bit" doesnt work?

[Gamelobby]

What "bit" doesnt work?

Well i'm not really sure, but to start the text doesn't show up.. Not that the text is the same color as the background, but it isn't there at all.!

Not found anywhere, not when i post a thread, below the window. (there is only a just a check box)

Then once you do post the thread there are options for amounts, points, etc, but they are just empty box's to fill out no text to tell you what they are for.

Then after you put some random numbers in (to test) above the post is the "betting info" but still is just blank with empty box's, or numbers that i entered.


Thanks for any help. :up:

[dartho]

That looks like a problem with your language/phrases or something?

I'm not sure why it would do that...

In the 3rd picture - the red circle should have the text "Post a vBookie Event" which is from te phrase "vbookie_post_an_event" search for that in your phrase manager and see if it's there?

Strange - go back to the template you posted, search for

{vb:rawphrase vbookie_post_an_event}

and replace with

Post a vBookie Event

does it then show? I don;t know why phrases would not be resolving ?

Replace with:

or
{vb:rawphrase Post_a_vBookie_Event}

*edit*

I changed it to
{vb:rawphrase post_a_vbookie_event}

Still not showing.

[dartho]

No - I meant as stated, replace {vb:rawphrase vbookie_post_an_event} with Post a vBookie Event but I'm more awake now and its a pointless exercise anyway as it will show...

Is that phrase in the language you use?

[Gamelobby]

Yes i only use one language.


I'm going to upgrade to 4.2 here later this week, so i'll just let you know what happens then. :)

[johon]

My vBookie is working well in 4.2.0, but I have still 2 small problems:

1. I have already mentioned it some posts above: I cannot switch on the vCash-display in Postbit becaus it's screwed up as described before by some guys. I don't know how to change the Plugin order in 4.2.0...

2. The setting Enable vBookie Navbar? doesn't work - the tab is always visible, either it's switched on or off.

Any help with these problems would be appreciated....

[dartho]

For mine - the only way a punter gets a refund is if the bookie made a mistake, if this was the case the book should be abandoned.

If the bookie is not obliged to cover all possible outcomes, then no mistake made and he cleans up while the punters all lose.

Guess it comes down to whether you think the onus is on the bookie to provide for all outcomes or not?

[da prez]

In my case the bet was tie.
So, in that case, at least to me, that is a push and neither the bookie nor the bettor wins.

It seems that would be no winning outcomes and money should be returned.

Abandoned events would be in case the event was cancelled or had something that changed the original parameters of the bet or some other similiar situation.

Can you tell me is it possible to change the default date when setting a bet. Currently the end date is set to one day ahead of say todays date.

Could I change this so it matches up with todays date if that makes sense.

Also is it possible to tell when a bet was placed by a member?

Thanks

[dartho]

Do you mean to say you want the default closing date of a bookie event to be the same day you create the event? Edit the vbookie.php file and find the line which says:

$tomorrow = getdate((TIMENOW+(3600*24)) - $vbulletin->options['hourdiff']);

the "(3600*24)" bit is how many seconds in the future you want the default close date to be - change this to be what you want

As for when a bet was placed, there is a vbookie_bets_place table in your database where all bets are stored. This table also has the date/time of the bet placement

As for when a bet was placed, there is a vbookie_bets_place table in your database where all bets are stored. This table also has the date/time of the bet placement

Thats perfect, thank you.

One last question. If a bet is abandoned does that mean its removed from the database?

I just want to change the "vCash" that is shown in the postbit_legacy to show another name, how do I do that? Everything else is working beautifully!

[dartho]

Phrase manager should do it

[DJDynasty239]

I've tried that but it doesn't seem to wanna change it, which is weird, maybe I'm trying to change the wrong item...hmmm

[Ba'al]

Its working great dartho with only 1 small problem, when we create an event and post it, it posts it twice, so if you say we have 7 events open you actually see 14 or 7 events doubled, any idea on this issue, any help would be great,thanx

[Ba'al]

bump......

[dartho]

No idea why that would be happening - can you provide a link ?

Given that those 2 OPEN events are the same 'book' but have different thread ID's, and those thread ID's are quite a spread (33249 & 5996), and that the vBookie item id is only 15 - I would guess that vBookie has only recently been installed - but was also installed sometime ago but not fully uninstalled or something and now you have multiple threads (real old ones and new ones) link to the same books.

You'll need to tidy up the database - uninstall and reinstall should work, but it might leave threads looking odd as they no longer have a bookie event link to them and of course all old bookie events will be gone - as would vcash balances.

Otherwise, you might be able to set the vbookie_item_id (in the thread table) to zero on all threads older than your first recent vbookie thread? This should remove the duplicate links.

Makes sense since we just went from 4.1.12 to 4.2.0 and we just had the new one on the dev. site playing with it and forgot to uninstall the old version before moving everything over, thanx brother

[Spangle]

I'm trying to use this for football matches but I am hitting a very big snag, I don't seem to be able to put more than one event in at a time, and only one event per post.

What I need to be able to do is set up a fixture list, and members bet on Home win, Away win, or a draw for each fixture.

[dartho]

You can only have one event, but in that event you would put multiple outcomes:

EVENT 1

Team A defeats Team B
Team B defeats Team A
Team A Draws with Team B
Team C defeats Team D
Team D defeats Team C
Team C Draws with Team D

etc.

[Storer]

Sorry if this has been posted else where, but when I create my thread and have set up the vBookie event, I click submit but when it loads the table and stuff are there but I can't actually bet.

Image attached.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Just logged out and confirmed that guests can see it properly.

EDIT: Also, after I abandon an event, I can see the table fine, I just can't bet (obviously).

[dartho]

Could you link me to your site and turn on template names in HTML comments?

[Ba'al]

Hey dartho,
We need your help, i know its been awhile since you gave me advice but our vbookie has been down and i have been to busy to get into it to much but after uninstalling and reinstalling we now get a database error that we just cant pin down, any help would be great.

[jonty]

We've a large-ish forum with 95k threads and almost 175k posts.
We get an intermittent delay when posting replies to non-bookie threads as well as delays when posting vbookie events.

Turns out it was a delay in a query
SELECT item.item_id, item.item_title, item.threadid, grp.group_title, item.item_status, item.item_created, item.item_open_until, item.item_pay_after, thread.threadid, thread.forumid, thread.postuserid
FROM vbookie_items AS item
LEFT JOIN vbookie_groups AS grp ON grp.group_id = item.group_id
LEFT JOIN thread AS thread ON thread.vbookie_item_id = item.item_id
WHERE item.item_status='SETTLED'
ORDER BY item.item_id DESC
LIMIT 880, 20;

The simplest solution was to add an index on the mysql table 'thread' on the vbookie_item_id column. :up:

[doogie88]

Do you have to add events daily? Or is the system automatic?
I mean if I wanted to bet on sports, do I have to add games manually?

[dawges]

Everything looks good except the background color. How do i edit that?

[dawges]

Got it sorted out. For those having problems with the navbar link color and background of Vbookie just add the following code in the body of the vbookie template. I added it at the end since it should call it last.

[slipkot]

I have a problem. I set the odds for an event at 345/100 for first result, 150/100 for the second and 575/100 for the third. As hte multiplier i want to be 3.45, 1.5, 5.75 for each result. Despite at vbookie.php page at event info it shows the correct values i mention above, at showthread it shows this values plus 1 ex 4.45, 2.45, 6.75. But it pays correctly as 3.45 or 1.5 or 5.75. Does anyone knows what is happening?

[dartho]

In the showthread it is showing the total return as opposed to the multiplier. At 3.45, you get your 3.45 + your initial 1 stake = 4.45

[slipkot]

Yes i found it later. I removed the initial stake on the payment and the plus one on your code as i wanted to return only the amount he won.

[wilford brimley]

anyone know hos to give vcash to only certain usergroups? whathappens is when i give it to everoyne then users who dont actually gamble end up with like 20 grand etc.. so over the course of a year it throws off the rankings.

let me know an sql thanks

figured it out
UPDATE user SET vbookie_cash=whatever WHERE usergroupid=whatever;

so..
UPDATE user SET vbookie_cash=0 to set everyone at zero

then the other code to set users at an amount. made a promotion that moves qualified reg users into a new primary group so i could tag them by this.

now, can anyone tell me a way to give everyone in the custom group a welfare check when they go bust?

Francisco Trinaldo (-320) vs. Piotr Hallmann (+260)
Rafael Natal (-260) vs. Tor Troeng (+220)
Ali Bagautinov (-280) vs. Marcos Vinicius (+240)

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong areas for odds on events, but the above structure is how I always find them displayed these days. Using the above info for creating a vBookie event, how is everyone adding the info when vBookie ask for it as Odds X___ to Odds X___ ?

[LgsOfChampions]

is there a way to fix this? It messes my site up

You would need to know those numbers mean (which I don't) but I just looked at a betting site which had this to say:

If we picture the number 100 sitting in the middle of these two values, it helps to illustrate how MMA betting works. For example, betting a -200 MMA favorite means you would risk $200 in order to win $100 in profit. On his or her opponent, you would risk $100 and win $180 on the underdog. Other forms of MMA odds will be listed here later in 2013. They include over-under rounds (will the fight end in the first, second or third round or go to a decision?) are usually available close to fight night.


So taking your example of:
Glover Teixeira (-440) vs. Ryan Bader (+350)

You would risk $440 in order to win $100 if you bet on Teixeira and you would risk $100 in order to win $350 by if betting on Bader.

To convert this to odds, just reverse the numbers. "100 to 1" means win 100 for every 1 bet, so using that based on the information above would give us:

Odds for Teixeira to win would be 100 to 440 (Win 100 for every 440 bet)
Odds for Baden to win would be 350 to 100 (win 350 for every 100 bet)
