vBookie for vBulletin 4

[dartho]

Please See the first post for a F.A.Q.
I will endevour to link to useful posts within this thread there as I spot them. You should check there before posting issues etc.
This is a port of vBookie for vBulletin 3.5 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=94128) by Andreas which was a port of vBookie - vBulletin Betting Hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=65844) by tjdrico. Permission was given by tjdrico to port this.

vBookie is a 'bookmakers' or betting extension to vBulletin. It enables authorised members to post Events and Outcomes that forum members can bet on. Each Outcome has its own set of odds, and odds can be modified through the life of an Event (bets that are placed are stored with the prevailing odds, so even if the odds change, your users are paid at the correct rate).

Once the results are known, Events can be settled and forums members awarded their winnings.

vBookie uses its own vCash by default, but this has no more use than as 'bragging rights'.

Although vBookie does not have any built-in facility to integrate with any other store hacks, it's a very simple job to hack vBookie itself to integrate it with any store/points system you care to use.

Install Instructions

Upgrade instructions
same as above, but undo edits made in point 4 if upgrading from pre 4.0.7! (see readme.txt for more info)

Version Control
4.0.0 (19 Jan '10 ) - Initial Release
4.0.1 (21 Jan '10 ) - Removed some junk from templates, added enable private bets option
4.0.2 (24 Jan '10 ) - fixed options for hiding vcash, added some more stuff to teh settings screen, added some vCash utilities (reset balances, give to everyone, set default balance) and fixed some template bugs.

Thank you

[TimberFloorAu]

Can't wait :up:

[Gnoll]

Tagged for future use :) , looks awsome

[Switch3130]

Every time you change the user group settings they go right back to 'No'

how do we go about fixing this?

[dartho]

Yeah I ended up finding that in the other thread. Thanks guys for the quick help.

I was thinking the exact samething

[Trip3151]

Great MOD tagged this :)

[ti07shadow]

There is a template issue in alignment.
the private betting check mark is on the far left while the rest is centered.

[Delilahs]

Same problem as the last version, where it won't save the permissions on the usergroups as to who can; post, edit or bet

[GreigM]

read the 2nd post how to fix

[Delilahs]

Thanks for the heads up GreigM ;)

all working

[jonty]

fantastic <clicks install> :up:

[GreigM]

How can we change the starting value for vcash? I am sure it was a DB query on the old mod would it still be the same?

Also on the main forum display a vbookie thread displays the poll icon, thread view shows the vbookie icon, would that be able to be changed?

Also when a bet is settled it does not seem to give the details of who won etc

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i37/Ferrari27/39c6cdb7.jpg

other than that all seems great, so nice to see this mod back, thanks :-)

[dartho]

There is a template issue in alignment.
the private betting check mark is on the far left while the rest is centered.

As an initial release, there are bound to be a few things like this. I'll look into this.

How can we change the starting value for vcash? I am sure it was a DB query on the old mod would it still be the same?
The DB query would be the same, as the DB structure is the same. If you find it before I get around to looking, post it here and I'll link to it in the first post and try and implement at some time.

Also on the main forum display a vbookie thread displays the poll icon, thread view shows the vbookie icon, would that be able to be changed?
I see that - I'll look into it. :up:

I've notice one or two other "small things" which I'll fix up soon also.

[dartho]

actually - the small things are a little obtrusive, although they won;t affect any data - just look odd to your users, I'll fix up tonight (next few hours) and get a new release out.

If you want to manually get rid of the most obvious one in the mean time, edit the vbookie_eventresults_table template, scroll to the end and you'll see a table with data such as "Hello World" etc. Delete that whole table block :o

To see who won, click on the winning "Outcome" in the thread

[GreigM]

For people wondering how to reset all user's vCash to 500, you need to execute this SQL query:

UPDATE user SET vbookie_cash=500;

If you totally want to clear all past events as well, execute these SQL queries:

DELETE FROM vbookie_news;
DELETE FROM vbookie_bets_placed;
DELETE FROM vbookie_item_options;
DELETE FROM vbookie_items;
DELETE FROM vbookie_groups;

Run these at your own risk...you may want to backup your DB first before running them. I run these once each year and have not had any problems with them.

from the old thread, just ran it on my install and it set everyone to 1000 which is what I set the vcash too :)

edit: actually this will work for members currently registered but anyone new would still start with 500, would it be possible to add a admincp option to set the default vcash value? I guess the 500 default is set in the xml import, maybe we could just change it in there?

[TimberFloorAu]

Note:

The postbit icon isnt displaying for us.

Also wish to change title of navbar menu name from vbookie to The Bookies

[TimberFloorAu]

Okies Icon is displaying lol ( thought it would be in the postbit ...duhhh)

Ste

btw love the roman numerals postcount on twf

[dartho]

Also wish to change title of navbar menu name from vbookie to The Bookies


Edit the vbookie_navbar_link template and change the 2 occurences (currently on 3rd line and 2nd last lines) of {vb:rawphrase vbookie} with what you want...

Other wise you can just change teh phrase "vbookie" to be what you want and this will change all occurences



btw love the roman numerals postcount on twf


see here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=222213 Should work under 4.0 also :up:

[dartho]

You could edit your database with phpmyadmin and set teh default value for user.vbookie_cash then all new users will start with the default

[TimberFloorAu]

Changed navbar link plugin to:


if (defined('The Bookies') )
{
$vbulletin->options['selectednavtab'] = 'The Bookies';
}
$template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= vB_Template::create('vbookie_navbar_link')->render();


Didnt change anything. Will look at phrases

[dartho]

Not plugin changes, that messes up your Navbar links!

Template changes!

[TimberFloorAu]

k so changed it to this:


<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'The Bookies'">
<li class="selected">
<a class="navtab" href="vbookie.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase vbookie}</a>

</li>
<vb:else />
<li><a class="navtab" href="vbookie.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase vbookie}</a></li>
</vb:if>


No difference

[dartho]

I'll forgive you as you're English, and you're in Queensland ;)

As stated back a few posts, change {vb:rawphrase vbookie} on the 3rd and the 2nd last lines of that template - they are unchanged in the code you pasted ...

Revert the template, try again :)

[shzad1]

bro pls teach me how 2 use vbookie? any tutorial i dunno how 2 add new bets

[GreigM]

Create a new thread and tick the box for, Yes, post a vBookie Event with this thread, this will open the options for your bet, and odds etc and is well documented in that page :)

ALTER TABLE user CHANGE COLUMN vbookie_cash vbookie_cash BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED NULL DEFAULT 1000 ;

Changes the default value to '1000' for new members (if you've already imported the product)

Many thanks for your code, all sorted now

[ProFifaLeagues]

Working great and a simple install.Thanks

Wow. Thanks!

Thanks :)

[ProFifaLeagues]

Are the vcash points only gained by winning bets??
or does this work like other cash systems and count posts etc towards amounts?
thanks

[Magz]

Works just for the bets.

Use ucash, or the soon to be released vbcredits for vb4

[cbehan]

dartho, you're my freaking hero. My board loves this mod and now can love it once we upgrade to vb4 too!

Love it.

[Hornstar]

yeah nice work dartho! tagged for when I upgrade.

[bandare]

When I used this a long time ago, it wasn't supported any more and there wasn't an easy way to reset everyone's money to a set amount. Is this or will this be possible in this version?

[dartho]

I'll support as I can, see 1st post (F.A.Q.) for an easy way to reset peoples cash. I will likely add some admincp functions for doing things such as this.

[badawidollah]

not work at VB4.0.1
installed but cant open events

www.nusantaraku.org

[dartho]

what do you mean "Can't Open" events?

1. Have you followed the install instructions (particularly permissions)
2. Did you read teh F.A.Q. in post 1 (particularly the bit about rebuilding bitfields)
3. Now you can click install :)

It's pretty easy to run some php scripts to set/update money via mySQL.

I have some cron jobs resetting everyone to 1000 vbux every 6 months as well as giving everyone an allowance of 500 every week.

[fly]

dartho is my new hero

[bandare]

One thing that was annoying in the previous versions was the ability to make a private bet. Is there a way when setting up an event to have a tick box to allow private bets or not.?

[GreigM]

You wish to stop private bets? no don't think there is such an option

[bandare]

You wish to stop private bets? no don't think there is such an option

I know there isn't currently but I'd like a way for that not to be available.... I think it's good to see who votes for what, so public only, unless you tick to allow private :)

something for the future maybe...

You need to add a BET on the system, those tabs are not tabs just tab headings.

If you cannot add a bet then usergroup permissions havent been set properly.

Quite frustrating, but well worth the 5 minutes it takes
( in my case : that is )

1.I set vbookie to be used in 3 forums
2.Then in usergroups i set which users could do what ( registered , admins mods and supermods ) each time having clicked save I rebuilt bitfields. ( easiest way to do that is...(see note 1 )
3. then in forum group permissions for each forum, and each usergroup I again set the permissions, and after clicking save on each one, I rebuilt bitfields. ( see note 1 )

Note 1.
Step 1
Open one window with admincp ( with forums link open ) Change permissions one step at a time, so click Administrators under a certain forum, change vbookie permissions, click save ) then move onto step 2

Step 2
Open another window tab ( and in notepad type this out. )

http://yourdomain.com/forum//admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields
Changing the path to suit your domain. Highlight it, click CTRL+C then each time you have saved usergroup changes in STEP 1 , paste this link into the open tab, hit ENTER

Then go back to Step 1, and move to next usergroup. Repeat until you have done this for all usergroups, and all forum permissions.

[GreigM]

I would like to manually add the vcash on the postbit, so I guess I would disable the postbit plugin, and then manually add the vcash command to the postbit template?

this is the plugin code

$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts] .= "<dt>".$vbphrase['vbookie_vcash']."</dt> <dd>".$post['vbookie_cash']."</dd>";

how would I call it manually in the postbit template, just use the .$post['vbookie_cash'] ?

Answering myself, but this seems to work fine for manually adding the vcash to the postbit

<dt>{$vbphrase[vbookie_vcash]}</dt> <dd>{$post[vbookie_cash]}</dd>

[dartho]

putting the following code where you want
<dt>{vb:rawphrase vbookie_vcash}</dt><dd>{vb:raw post.vbookie_cash}</dd>

would probably me correct. Using things like $post[vbookie_cash] in templates is supposedly not the way to do it anymore...

[GreigM]

Thanks works fine, thanks for the update as well :) great!

Although vBookie does not have any built-in facility to integrate with any other store hacks, it's a very simple job to hack vBookie itself to integrate it with any store/points system you care to use.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to do this? Using uCash fyi

[dcuellar]

Holy crap!!

My eyes MUST be deceiving me!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

I just saw your post on the 3.5 thread and went crazy. You wouldn't happen to be taking suggestions for add-ons/features would you? There's one in particular I want. PM me if you interested. I am willing to pay.

[dartho]

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to do this? Using uCash fyi

Try setting the "Cash/Points System" option in Admincp->Settings->Options->vBookie Settings to "uCash"

@dcuellar - I'll always listen to (well, read) suggestions, can't promise any more though

[bart6767]

Is there any way of adding a block to the CMS that shows all Vbookie games ?

[dcuellar]

I just want one on one bets. I want to allow my members to challenge others personally.

For example. dartho, I bet you 50K that the Orlando Magic will lose against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Challenges can be sent through PM's, e-mails, etc.

[iguano]

I have installed uCash and turn in vbookie option from vcash to ucash, but in the posts i see again the vcash :o

[dartho]

Sorry - my bad. You should be set the option to uCash in vBookie settings and disable the vBookie: Add Cash to Postbit plugin.

When bets are placed, is it being deducted ffrom uCash balances?

[dartho]

I'll also look more at uCash (as the only vb4.0 points syetm sop far) integration at the next release to try and make easy to do

[mandingo]

Sorry - my bad. You should be set the option to uCash in vBookie settings and disable the vBookie: Add Cash to Postbit plugin.

Oh right on. I just made a dummy bookie and won 500 uCashs, neat. thanks bro,didnt realize it was right there all along.

Disabilited but see the pics, i see again the vcash sistem @_@

[Steelersfan]

Disabilited but see the pics, i see again the vcash sistem @_@

You need to go to the plugin manager and disable vBookie: Add Cash to Postbit. For some reason turning it off with the mod doesn't work. Least didn't for me.

[dartho]

hi iguano,
Did you disable the vBookie: Add Cash to Postbit Plugin - not a settings - I mean in Plugin Manager.

I need to change a couple more things to make teh Settiungs work properly



Edit - Yes - just as Steelersfan said. It should be fixed in next version

[iguano]

hi iguano,
Did you disable the vBookie: Add Cash to Postbit Plugin - not a settings - I mean in Plugin Manager.

ops . ... sorry i'm a idiot :D

Thanks so much for the conversion of this. It has been an integral part of my forum and one of the main things that has kept me from moving over to the new version.

:up:

[Boots]

In on this mod for sure.

[merk_aus]

Dartho,
we should talk I have spent the last three months working on a port for vBookie 3.5 to 3.8.4 then abandoned it when 4.0 came out to concentrate on porting it over to 4.0 we should talk as my version has a couple new features and is approved by andreas so could give you teh code for it or something to have added features.

[COL NIL SATIS]

brilliant addittion!!! installed

[TimberFloorAu]

Can we remove : vBookie installed! 19-01-2010

from the vbookie.php news and events cell ? If so How So !

[dartho]

Sure - running the query:

DELETE FROM vbookie_news WHERE news_id = 1;

should do it (add a table prefix to vbookie_news if you have one ...

You could also do this via phpmyadmin if you have it

Tried that :

Get - An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1146
error desc: Table 'yobromof_forum.vbookie_news' doesn't exist

[dartho]

"yobromof_forum" is your forum prefix?

Then query should be :
DELETE FROM yobromof_forumvbookie_news WHERE news_id = 1;

[Forum Lover]

4. Edit "newthread" template as per readme.txt ionstructions

I did this, and usergroup permissions too.. but still not showing in newthread page. :(

[dartho]

Did the usergroup permissions 'stick' and have you tried "rebuild bitfields" (see post #2) if not?

[merk_aus]

Thanks for porting this - for some reason I click NO in the settings to not display vcash in the postbit however it still stays there how can i get rid of it?

[dartho]

This has been addressed in the next version which will be out very soon, but in the mean time you will need to disable the vBookie: Add Cash to Postbit plugin to stop teh display of vCash in postbit

[Forum Lover]

Its working now. Installed. Thanks. :)

New version, fixed a couple things and added a few AdminCP options (mostly for vCash users)

Can now
change default vCash figure
give vCash to all users
reset vCash balance for all users

Ok few issues:

1. if we set the date as today 25. Jan 2010 12pm settle bets same as this date, when we view event it takes 24 hours off that set time ie. 24. Jan 2010 12pm

2. vcash has gone in postbit

3. global change of vbookie to other phrase doesnt change all instances.

4. still cannot figure out how to delete an event.

Example:
January 25 2010 05.00am

This is what displays in THREAD:

This event will accept bets until 25-01-2010 at 04:00 AM
This event will pay out after 25-01-2010 at 04:00 AM

Each time we return to edit event, this changes by one hour when we re-post. + GMT keeps resetting to London time

Plus when we edit event we get this on the page:

1:1:1:1:1

I can;t reproduce this - is it actaully 24 hours? There is a time zone issue where it will disaply in GMT even if you have selected a diff TZ when making teh book.

2. vcash has gone in postbit

Can't re-produce this one either?

3. global change of vbookie to other phrase doesnt change all instances.

Correct - you'll need to search and replace on vBookie as the word 'vBookie' appears in other phrases (such as "Edit vBookie Event"). That change only changes teh phrase "vBookie"

4. still cannot figure out how to delete an event.

You can;t as such. You can abandon an event. You can of course delete the thread containing a vBookie event

Each time we return to edit event, this changes by one hour when we re-post. + GMT keeps resetting to London time

I'm still looking into the GMT issue, but can;t reproduce teh 1 hour one :confused:

Plus when we edit event we get this on the page:

I'll release a 4.0.3 version now which fixes as stated above and keep looking at the other issues.

Long shot - but do you have daylight savings enabled on your site (AdminCP->Settings->Options->Date and Time Options)?

[dartho]

This error is cause by the includes/functions_vbookie.php file..

Ah - see teh issue now. This is also fixed in the latest version (4.0.3)

So only the time issue left? with VB4, they changed the way some time functions worked and what they returned. This may take a little longer to fix up - but should still make for an opertaional vBookie of you remember to fix up time zones etc when you create / edit books

[dartho]

Found bug and will be fixed in the next version release so you can delete vBookie events.

Uninstalling should take care of dropping tables.

[TimberFloorAu]

Cheers mate:

Have uninstalled.
Still have ftp'd files on server.
Still had the 1 hr issue.

[Regs]

How hard would it be for the richest users listing to use usergroup html markups?

For example, if I'm in the top 20 and my username is green everywhere, it would show up as green in the list?

Furthermore, if I wanted to change it to list out the top 30 or top X, where/what should I edit?

I run a monthly contest using this (previous versions) where the top 3 win stuff (physical items). Each month I note who the top 3 were and then reset everyone's cash.

I can do this now but what would be an improvement would be if I could reset different cash amounts for different usergroups... the ultimate would be if a cronjob could do all of this and automatically save the top X in a contest area.

I'm rambling now but what the heck ... :)

There was an issue in the previous version where if you had a tonne of settled bets and went to view them all, it would almost kill your server :) Has that been addressed? Would it be possible to set a limit on how many are returned (say by date, i.e., last 30 days or something like that)?

Lastly, and this has always been a slight irritant, if I bet $20 on a bet that wins with payout of 2/1, I should get back $40 not $60.

[TimberFloorAu]

You should get back $60.

Stake + winnings

[Regs]

Someone needs to tell Will Hill that then :D

[TimberFloorAu]

LOL < never gambled in real life, so have no idea

[GreigM]

Upgraded and still have DB error on bet stats, and now nobody can bet, permissons all fine, have gone back to 4.01 and that works fine for us :)

[GreigM]

Argghhh this is doing my head in now, gotta change every frigging usergroup permission and forum permission interspersed with rebuild bitfields.

rebuilding the bitfields should just need to be done once, do it before setting permissions then they should stick for every usergroup :)

[jonty]

Someone needs to tell Will Hill that then :D

:D
We adjust ours because of that.

[TimberFloorAu]

rebuilding the bitfields should just need to be done once, do it before setting permissions then they should stick for every usergroup :)

For some reason, we set permissions for admin > have to run rebuild bitfields, and so on and so on for every usergroup.

Then we have to do same in forum permissions, for every usergroup, in every forum. Does get exceedingly tedious

[Delilahs]

Installed 4.04
Rebuilt all bitfields
created vbookie event.

No-one, not even admins can actually make a bet on it.

Is there a quick fix Dartho?

[dartho]

@Delilahs - Install, rebuild bitfields, change usergroup permissions (check they stick), change forum permissions...

I'm thinking I'm going to remove using bitfields for permissiosn management and go for an old school "What usergroups can bet/edit/create?" type scenario...

I hope to get some time this evening.

[Delilahs]

Dartho, tried all those options and it isn't working.

OK - I just installed on a virgin install I had on localhost (which was RC4) - it behaved in teh same manner some describe here (errors on stats, can't bet etc) but after frantically clicking , typing adjusting permissions etc for 3 minutes it all came good.

I do not know how, or why - but it did.

I will, when I get time, start a fresh install and try again (and document everyting I do) to try and track the issue down.

Make sure you make the template edit to NEWTHREAD template also

Just noticed the change (aligns the check box with others) :up: (I'd done it manually before)

I've now managed to mess up the table showing the news and events :D but it's a test site so not important (table showing news and events not showing the right cell border after the date)

[jonty]

We currently show the vCash through a custom navbar edit.

From a quick look it'll now go in the header - I should really make these change into product rather than template edits :erm:

(we have a sub-forum for just vBookie bets, so the vCash link (called vButtons - it's a long story :D) links to there, rather than the vbookie .php page.)

offcourse! Glad that someone will fix this for us for free. I didnt read the topic good enough. My bad :)

[dartho]

For people with 4.0.4:
issue with stats only occurs iof there are no vBookie events after installing (The query ois empty coz there ios nothing to query)

issue with vCash not showing up an no one being able to bet is a bug which can be fixed by changing cash type to something otehr than vCash, and then back to vCash again.

I've got a new version ready which no longer uses bitfields for permission checking which worked 'out of the box' on a clean install.

I'll post it up shortly

[dartho]

4.0.5 Released - no longer uses bitfields for permissions, fixed vCash display, fixed stats page error.

To upgrade, install product, upload all files, and recheck you settings

You can also delete the bitfield_vbookiehack.xml from your includes/xml folder as it is no longer needed (perform a rebuild bitfields afterwards) - however leaving it shouldn't have any effect.

Fingers crossed

[Switch3130]

I haven't had a problem with this since installing, but I upgraded anyways.

Nice work.

[Delilahs]

working nicely my end ')

[GreigM]

Great job all seems fine with our install now, thanks again :)

One question, I would like the VBookie tab in the navbar to only show when in the forum section, not in CMS etc, would that be possible at all?

[valendono]

can u explain what is Odds and playing with it ? how we calculate price for the winner ?

[dartho]

mm... I could try, but would probably fail miserably. Have a read of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odds#Gambling_odds_versus_probabilities


[Edit] OK - I'll have a try anyway:

A simple example is tossing a coin and picking the outcome (Heads or Tails) the probablility is 1 to 2 (or 0.5) of getting either, so teh odds may well be 1 to 2 also (although in real life the bookie may make the odds more in his favouir so her makes a profit). In gambling 1 to 2 means to win 1, you must be 2. Your original bet is also returned if you win.

Say you put $10 on heads at 1 to 2 odds. In order to win 1, you must bet 2. Given we have bet $10, we will win $5 if the outcome is heads, you will also get your original $10 back.

(1) would that be somewhere in the same file?

Yeah all seems fine here, great job, thanks so much for porting this over and supporting it so well :)

OK - Happy enough with the feedback to mark it no longer as Beta.

Suggestions for updates will now be entertained.

[GreigM]

If possible could you remove the outer border when viewing event info and maybe the stat page outer border? It's not a big issue but the border does take away from those lovely round corners in VB4 :D

[dartho]

I've noticed that, although my solution was probablygoing be to try and get rid of the curves :D

hehe well that would work too :)

Yeah - I just made that change on mine - and it started throwing errors, bu tthe original is OK.

What is your MySQL version?

Any MySQL folk able to see what could be wrong with the query
SHOW Columns FROM user WHERE Field = "vbookie_cash"; ?

In the mean time Arved you could just not use the vCash utils section and make the changes manually - it wouldn't affect any otehr area of vBookie

[dartho]

One other suggestion - change that line to
WHERE field = "'. TABLE_PREFIX . 'user.vbookie_cash"
I wouldn;t havce thought it was necessary, but you never know ...

Wouldnt be old xml files residning on the server from previous upgrades would it, including old dbDont think so, its my first installation of vBookie in this DB. How can I check any conflictive file or XML?
I guess the problem is just my admin file.

[dartho]

It wouldn;t be anything to do with the installation...

Whilst MySQL 4.1.21 is supported, it is quite old now. If you (or your host) are up for any maintenance, and upgrade may be worthwhile? I don't know if this will fix the issue, but would *guess* it does.

Minimum Requirements: vBulletin is designed to run on every server that has PHP 5.2 or greater and MySQL 4.1.0 or greater installed.

It is recommended to use PHP 5.2.6, or later and MySQL 5.0.19 or later.

[Boots]

So what's the consensus, is this running well for people?

[ProFifaLeagues]

yes mate running a1 here!

[w-elbalad.com]

nice work

[Arved Yagami]

It wouldn;t be anything to do with the installation...

Whilst MySQL 4.1.21 is supported, it is quite old now. If you (or your host) are up for any maintenance, and upgrade may be worthwhile? I don't know if this will fix the issue, but would *guess* it does.Gotta ask my hosting to upgrade.

Thanx.

[jack the lad]

Nice mod mate ;)

Is there a way of when a thread is deleted we can also delete the vBookie event?

Many thanks

[dartho]

This does happen - however only when a thread is 'physically removed', a soft deletion does not remove the vBookie event

Sorry I meant in the "News & Events" window.

[dartho]

Ah - OK. Currently they are text only with no links back to the actual vBookie event so it would involve recoding a few things. I'll look into it. May be able to add a 'Delete' button for admins next to each news item also?

I would agree, that would be wicked.

Could we also code it so that in Postbit it reads: vbcash $500 instead of vbcash 500

[Aclikyano]

everytime i change a admin or gmod status in usergroup permissions or even forum and moderators or whatever it goes right back to NO NO NO after i save... wtf
i made a vbookie thread, it worked good but after i bet on it i dont see the option to settle the bet.... help!

[TimberFloorAu]

Are you running latest verion of vbookie ?

Have you rebuilt bitfields.

[Aclikyano]

yes i am on 4.0.1 and i just installed it now....

no what bitfields must i rebuild?

[TimberFloorAu]

Latest version of vbookie is 4.06

[dartho]

Could we also code it so that in Postbit it reads: vbcash $500 instead of vbcash 500

Edit the vBookie: Add Cash to Postbit plugin and change ".$post['vbookie_cash']." to $".$post['vbookie_cash']."

everytime i change a admin or gmod status in usergroup permissions or even forum and moderators or whatever it goes right back to NO NO NO after i save... wtf
i made a vbookie thread, it worked good but after i bet on it i dont see the option to settle the bet.... help!
Those permissions no longer have any affect, permissions are set in vBookie Settings.

Delete /includes/xml/bitfield_vbookie.xml and then rebuild bitfields to remove these redundant options (http://YOURSITE/admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields)

You can only settle a vbookie event when the date/ time is after what you configured the event to payout after.

[Aclikyano]

please explain better what i should do? thanks

[Aclikyano]

ok nevermind i got it now, thanks alot! :) great update, loving 4.0.1 atm

[Bluefin221]

I installed 4.0.6 and still get an error when clicking on stats, I have created my first bet, but for some reason I can't bet on the actual event. I have double checked all the permissions and everything is as it should be.

[TimberFloorAu]

Have you set usergrp permissions and rebuilt bitfields

[Bluefin221]

Have you set usergrp permissions and rebuilt bitfields

Yes.

[TimberFloorAu]

Then something has cocked up.

Ensure you did everything in theis order:

Install Instructions
1. Unzip product file
2. Upload files from 'Upload' folder to your forum
3. Install product XML
4. Edit "newthread" template as per readme.txt ionstructions
5. Set usergroup permissions
6. Set vBookie settings
7. Enjoy.

If it still isnt working, either wait for Dartho.. or reinstall it all over again.
It does work, we have it running at the mo.

[Bluefin221]

I have supercharged installed and since I installed vbookie it has completely messed up my forum, I've uninstalled it for now and I'm retracing my steps to see what the problem is.

[TimberFloorAu]

Yeah same issue here. I got shot of supercharged.

[dartho]

I installed 4.0.6 and still get an error when clicking on stats, I have created my first bet, but for some reason I can't bet on the actual event. I have double checked all the permissions and everything is as it should be.

Happy to help if I can. I have no idea what "supercharged" is though ...

[DragonBlade]

dartho,

I'm trying out your modification and am in the process of installing it, but I have a question for ya...

Rather than having us make a template modification above {vb:raw threadmanagement}, as it says in the instructions, could you not add that bit as an extra template and add it to $threadmanagement in the newthread_form_complete hook location?


Like...


TEMPLATE (vbookie_threadmanagement):
<vb:if condition="$show['vbookieevent']">
<div class="blockrow">
<p class="label">Post a {vb:rawphrase vbookie} Event</p>
<dl class="group dep_group">
<dt>
<label for="cb_postvbookieevent">
<input type="checkbox" name="postvbookieevent" value="yes" id="cb_postvbookieevent" tabindex="1" {vb:raw checked.postvbookieevent} class="dep_ctrl" /> {vb:rawphrase yes_post_a_vbookieevent_thread}
</label>
</dt>
</dl>
</div>
</vb:if>

PLUGIN (newthread_form_complete):$templater = vB_Template::create('vbookie_threadmanagement');
$templater->register('show', $show);
$templater->register('vbookie', $vbookie);
$templater->register('checked', $checked);
$templater->register('yes_post_a_vbookieevent_thread', $yes_post_a_vbookieevent_thread);
$threadmanagement = $templater->render() . $threadmanagement;
$show['additional_options'] = ($show['misc_options'] OR !empty($attachmentoption) OR $show['member'] OR $show['poll'] OR !empty($threadmanagement));





I'm sorry if it seems like I'm butting in, or if the above code wouldn't work, but it just makes sense to me to have as few template edits as possible, and wouldn't that reduce your template edits to zero? :3

[DragonBlade]

----------

Also, a question on Custom "cash".

I've been working on my own modest "cash" system, and the field which handles said cash is called "han" (short for "Hansatsu"; don't ask XD), and I'd like to try and integrate vBookie with it. It seems straightforward enough, but I want to make sure before I go destroying things.

Basically, in each plugin that has it, in vbookie.php, and in includes/functions_vbookie.php, replacing vbookie_cash with my custom field han would be the correct way to go, correct?

[ldma]

I'm having trouble getting it working. All permissions are set up correctly, I can set up events, but even as Admin I can't place bets.

[dartho]

dartho,

I was thinking of doing this once I was happy everything was working, but then decided to keep it a manual edit. The new temlate engine would probably happily merge those manual changes into any future updates.

If you release a cash system, I could modify the vbookie code to work with it out out of the box.

Otherwise, vbookie has hooks where you can write plugins to handle other cash - no need to edit source files.

vbookie_do_charity
vbookie_get_richest
vbookie_get_user_cash
vbookie_give_user_cash
vbookie_take_user_cash

Have a look at the functions_vbookie.php file for sample code for putting in these hook locations

was this a fresh install, or an upgrade from a previous version of vBookie?

[Bluefin221]

Ok, I uninstalled supercharged and tried a fresh install of 4.0.6 of vbookie.

I still get a database error on the stats page.

I have rebuilt bitfields, I have checked the permissions which are all fine, I made my first bookie event as a test. Funnily enough now that I've made the event no one appears to be able to make an actual bet.

[dartho]

what is your site - if you PM me deatils, I'll be happy to have a look. I may need admin details to dig deeper if you woudl like me to...

[Bluefin221]

I know what the problem is, when you initially go into vbookie options you don't have the full list of options, when I rebuilt bitfields for some reason I had a whole heap of options, once I went through these setting them up for my site everything is working as it should. Strange though that the options wouldn't show properly at first though.

Thanks, Dartho. And ha, amg, now that I actually read your functions_vbookie.php without sleep deprivation, I can easily see the aformentioned hooks. XD Thanks for putting something in there for us to be able to customize so easily! I probably would have never thought of that. XP

As for releasing my cash system, well, it's very unprofessional. See, I started it over a year ago when I was first learning about vBulletin coding, so at first I was directly editing the database and didn't even KNOW about templates--I was passing the HTML just as a PHP literal. XP I've been modifying it a bit here and a bit there, but it's still far from what I'd burden the vBulletin community with. XD I'll certainly release it when it's complete, and when I make the plugins you mention to change the cash field to "han," I'll include those. :3

[ldma]

was this a fresh install, or an upgrade from a previous version of vBookie?

I did have it installed previously but uninstalled it before i upgraded to vb4, then installed Vbookie again.

I have rebuilt bitfields, I have checked the permissions which are all fine, I made my first bookie event as a test. Funnily enough now that I've made the event no one appears to be able to make an actual bet.


Same here.

[Steelersfan]

Dartho, I can't seem to edit events. Well I can, but then when I hit update it says "This thread already has a vbookie attached to it". Other people can't either even though their user group is set to allow.

[dartho]

I think I'm going to need admincp access to a couple of the folk who are having issues to see what's going on...

[dartho]

That's one bug found thanks to Steelers fan... anyone else want to let me help them with specific issues?

[romeo12]

Will this work in vB 3.8.4? I cant find vBookie for 3.8

[dartho]

Will this work in vB 3.8.4? I cant find vBookie for 3.8

No it won't - there is no 3.8 version, but the 3.5 version can work under 3.8 with a little tweaking

[Steelersfan]

Dartho, when you go to bet a second time, you cant see how many points you have to bet with. I did the edit you said to earlier in the thread and it works for the first time you bet and showing points. But not when you allow multiple bets.

Edit - Never mind, they didn't tell me they were using a skin I was working on and I hadn't applied the edit yet

[TimberFloorAu]

Suggestion.

On betting page ( in thread view )

Could we have under the bets:

You have $xxx.xx available to bet with

[dartho]

check https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1965601#post1965601 for how to do this ...

[TimberFloorAu]

Thanks :)

[dcuellar]

Have you given any thoughts to adding one-on-one betting between users?

[dartho]

No, not really - that would be a whole other mod, which would be a lot of work, which is something I do my damndest to stay away from :)

[dcuellar]

No, not really - that would be a whole other mod, which would be a lot of work, which is something I do my damndest to stay away from :)

LOL...

alright. Fair enough.

[romeo12]

No it won't - there is no 3.8 version, but the 3.5 version can work under 3.8 with a little tweaking

Hey, I installed 3.5 version. The thread don't redirect to vbookie.php page when i post an event :(. I checked plugins in Plugin Manager, but all are active.

However, if i manually add
vbookie.php?t=xxx&vbookieeventoptions=0&do=newevent
to the thread link, where xxx is thread id, i am able to place event.

Help me.

Edit & Update:
Problem solved. Found it here

[Regs]

dartho,

Do you have a list of improvements you are working on (if any)?

How difficult would it be to start to improve the vBookie home? Some ideas I have:

- Show all open bets on a page with the ability to place a bet right there w/o going to the thread
- Create bet tickets where multiple bets can be added to a ticket but if one loses, your ticket is a loser (this would probably be a big task)
- Introduce a subscribe feature where forum users could subscribe to vbookie and be notified by email whenever a new bet was set up.

Thanks,

Regs.

[dartho]

I'm not actively working on any enhancements at the moment, but don't let that stop you from asking :)

[dcuellar]

I've finally installed this and I can't seem to place a bet. I'm able to create one, but not bet on one.

Am I doing something wrong?

[GreigM]

Seems to be working fine with 4.0.2

[dartho]

I've finally installed this and I can't seem to place a bet. I'm able to create one, but not bet on one.

Not sure why that would be the case. If you fixed it, I'd like to know how. If not I'll be happy to have a look at your site and try and work out why.

Where can I remove the "vBookie" link from the navigation bar?
