Store addon: Staff discount

[Dark Jim]

With this hack you can change the costs of the store items depending on usergroups. For example you can set the cost to 25% for administrators, 50% for moderators and 100% for regular members.

Update 1/19/03: Fixed an error. Step 7 was wrong.
Update 1/18/03: Fixed an error. The final step was wrong.

I may add more options if I can think of some. Also here's a screenshot when you edit a usergroup.

Yo! Nice one indeed. :p

HAHAH cool, but you think being a staff member you would get those items for free.

Well you could just set the % to 0 and they WOULD get it for free. :D

Hi darkjim,

Is it possible to removed the 'Points' and replaced by something else?

E.g: Money, Golds, ect..

Thanks in advance.

[Dark Jim]

This has to do with the store hack in general, not just this addon. But you can change the name in the store config options. Just edit the field "Points Name".

I don't use the store hack, but this is a good idea :)

[Link14716]

DAMNIT! THIS WAS MY IDEA!

Well, figuring I never even said anything about it, it's amazing how people have the same ideas as me at almost the same time. Well, it saves me the trouble of making it. :)

[Dark Jim]

Please redownload the file and redo the last step. I made a mistake.

[Ember]

Wow, impressive idea! I will definatly be installing this one in the morning! :)

line 113 is $costpercent=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT storecost FROM usergroup WHERE usergroupid=$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]");
$aw[costs] = round($aw[costs] * ($costpercent/100));

Gah another stupid mistake. Fixed on my own forums but put it wrong here. :confused:

To fix change ($costpercent/100) to ($costpercent[storecost]/100)
Instructions updated.

This hack will not work with the itemshop but I guess it is possible to make something like this for it. I won't be doing that though as I don't have the itemshop.

[mx3]

sounds good i might install later

[Vile]

Lol, cool idea, like an employee discount :D
I'll be installing this :)

Thanks.

[LOD-squa]

[sabret00the]

I think this hack has an error with the give someone else a custom title. My users are getting a "not enough points" error even though they clearly DO have enough points. I think the store may be looking at the other users usergroupid to determine the price of the custom title. Anyone care to fix that? :)

[gerlando]

Ok, I figured out how to fix the error with giving other users custom titles.

Look for:
$checkcost=$contest[costs];

Change to:
$checkcost=round($contest[costs] * ($costpercent[storecost]/100));

Also, a little clean up. You could/should declare the $costpercent variable as a global.

Look for:
global $points, $usertitle, $username, $userid, $storename, $pointname, $glow, $italic;

Change to:
global $points, $usertitle, $username, $userid, $storename, $pointname, $glow, $italic, $costpercent;

then look for:
$username=$user++++[username];

and add BELOW:
$costpercent=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT storecost FROM usergroup WHERE usergroupid=$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]");

then remove all other instances of:
$costpercent=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT storecost FROM usergroup WHERE usergroupid=$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]");


since they're not needed. I hope that helps.

[ImportPassion]

i was looking for the code $username=$user++++[username];
and couldn't find it and realized that ++++ replaced shit
nice code, couldn't have used userstuff, or userinfo.

THanks for the fix gerlando!

[tpearl5]
