vB3 Pets v1.0
by AutomatikStudio and others
+What This Hack Does+
This hack gives your users the option to have their very own furry little pets. Posting on your boards is what keeps them alive!
+Installation+
+ Queries - 4
+ File edits - 3 files
+ Template Additions - 1
+ Template Edits - 2
+ Image Uploads
+UPDATE+
+Thanks to Link14716 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=15527), your selections stay selected after your users save them in their profiles. The ZIP file has been updated with the new code. Or if you just want the code then check out THIS (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=471519&postcount=22) post.
+IF YOUR HACK HAS THE ANIMAL 'CATEPILLER' MAKE SURE YOU FIX THE SPELLING ERROR!! Silly me, I misspelled the word 'catepiller'. You need to update /includes/functions_showthread.php and the MODIFYPROFILE template from the word 'catepillar' to 'catepiller' with an E.
*Note: I no longer support this mod in any form or fashion. Please don't PM me with questions about it.

The only change was I made a 'pretty' install file instead of just the regular .txt file. :)

Not sure your supposed to start a new thread when moving from Beta, i think your meant to put the new zip in the original thread and ask a mod or admin to move to full releases. Not 100% sure though. Either way i like the options you listed out there, i will definetly give this a shot when i get the time (Most my members are girls so go figure lol)

Oh ok sorry. (just noticed the features i thought you had are planned ones :( )Np. Yeah...they are planned ones. This first version is more or less just a port of the old vB2 version with a couple of added kicks but nothing huge. The other options are underdevelopment though.

Maybe the reputation system could be used to 'feed' them or 'starve them to dead' with the images as in karma or with custom images. It would be nice if an animal is visual dead, not just shiny and fresh as if it is healty and alive.
Maybe some other pets, not just fluffy fish or happy dogs but real mean predators and dangerous creatures. :D

And I'd like to have different "stats of health" for all animals...just haven't made the graphics...and I'm not the greatest at PHP either...so it could take me a little longer to get everything working perfect. (make note that I would love to have some more people jump on board w/ this project)

Any examples of how this would look in the 'new' postbit.?Not as of now...but it will look exactly like the "pet table" in that screenshot...only it will be placed in differently...but like the install file says...you can place it anywhere you would like pretty easily as the pet table is in a template so all you have to do is put $vb3petsthreadbit whereever you want the pet table to be...

This is what it looks like in mine, board is still in development but it's supposed to open tomorrow, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to post now. I did tweak it to fit with my design. Heh. Changed the pets to fit too, and it all works quite fabulously. I love it, it's so cute. :D

I got this error when i add the queries
You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ALTER TABLE user ADD petname varchar( 25 ) NOT NULL ALTER

I got this error when i add the queries
If you're using the built in query runner in VB, I believe it only lets you run one query at a time, so just do one alter statment at a time. If you're using phpmyadmin, then add a ";" without the quotes after each statement.
I also wanted to suggest that maybe having the options in the profile stay selected for whatever it was you'd chosen, would be great. I had a user alter their profile and found that their pet had changed, and that was because the drop downs return to their default.
Man. That sounded convoluted. I hope that made sense, been staring at a pooter all day... Oh and np on the screenshot. :)

I gave the above a try and it didn't work unfortunately. It looked like it should though, based on the conditionals. Perhaps the pet-related variables just aren't set to translate on that particular template. This would be my n00b guess. Heh. Kudos for giving it a shot though. :)

I went through everything step by step. I used phpmyadmin to do the queries and added a ";" to the end of each line before i submitted it. Any ideas? I am dying to see the little pets!Hmm. There could be hundred different reasons why things don't work. Can you see the new "Pet Information" Panel in Edit Profile in the User CP? Did you make sure to put the "$vb3petsthreadbit" in your postbit? Pets don't show up on posts until a user selects that they actually own a pet in their profile...so that could be the problem. Check those things and then get back to me.

Okay...I went through each step very carefully again. I do see "Pet Information" under "Edit Profile." I entered a test pet in there, pressed Save and I get this:
"There are no subscribed threads to display in this folder for this time period." (Seems like it does something with the subscription...not sure why.)
I viewed some of my posts but do not see any pet pics yet. What do you suggest I should do?

And when you says you "do not see any pet pics yet"...do you mean you don't see the box that the bet would appear in with stats, their name, etc....or you don't see an actual pet? If you see everything but the pet then you possibly forgot to upload the pictures or either uploaded them to the wrong directory.

I do see the Pet info to fill out, i enter some info, and then press Save. Then i posted a test post to see if I see the pet graphic...but my post is just as if I didn't install the pet hack. SO I don't see the pet graphic or other info that is supposed to be in the post...I think it should show in the post, by my username or something..i don't see it there :(
This is my postbit template where i put that $vb3petsthreadbit variable:

$vb3petsthreadbit

Alrighty, I'm tweaked simply because I really like the planned additions.
I am willing to jump onboard and help out in some of the coding of certain features if you wish it. I'm not very active here (kinda just lurk about and snag what I need when I see it), but I am willing to lend a hand where I can.
The possibilities of this hack are beautifully complex! I love it!
I am installing it on my board(s) tonight and will run through the code thus far and see where I can lend a hand.
If you wish to talk with me live (if you are willing to allow me to lend a hand) then contact me either at: noblepagan@noblepagan.com or via MSN at bubbabriggs@msn.com.

what is level, hp, exp and just how is it worked out?
never been good at understanding rpg heheHP is raised by users posting. The default is set to where if users don't make 5 posts a day then it begins to drop. If they make 5 a day then it stays the same...if they make more than 5 then it rises.
EXP is how close the user is to leveling up.
Levels are....I have no idea:nervous:
The puppy images need a little work, will look around to see if I can find some :)Hahah...defenitely agree :ninja:

How about HP so their HP will go up after one of these "stones".
I would love to see the pet be able to get sick, and get better. How about a playground or a play pen for them to stay at or something.

What do you mean "stones"....

how about a place you can send your pet to be looked after? incase you go on hoilday dont fprget doing this will cost you so much money thats if your adding some type of money system that will let you buy things for the pet.

There's a store hack out called Yoshy, can you add the "money system" for it? :)

Yoshy's store hack is still in Beta stage...we wouldn't use it until it goes Gold.

Btw the catepillar wasnt working. It was spelt different in images folder than what it was coded to. Anyway nice hack. More pets would be good. And if you could animate :) So they move. Also if you dont get 5 make the pets look ill and start to loose hp
C.Birch
02-02-2004, 08:07 PM
i personaly think the money system sould be its own thing not a addon for a stores hack due to the fact theres a number of them being made and not everyone would want to install a set hack to get a other hack fully working.

And we are planning on having animated pets!

Then there would be 2 money systems for somebody who has the Pets and Store hacks installed...
C.Birch
02-02-2004, 08:50 PM
erm thats true also, not a easy one this, not when theres going end up with like 3 store hacks going by number of people making them.
I guess it will go back just how much time you want to put in to the hack. one the best ways would to having a picking in the settings from pet shop store, and then other stores so people could use a store system made in to this hack or if they already got a stores hack use that but that at a guess would mean alot of coding.

One thought we had was to possibly let the amount of money you have be determined by the health of your pet.

hmm..I put the "bars" and the "pets" folder inside /forums/images/ directory...
I do see the Pet info to fill out, i enter some info, and then press Save. Then i posted a test post to see if I see the pet graphic...but my post is just as if I didn't install the pet hack. SO I don't see the pet graphic or other info that is supposed to be in the post...I think it should show in the post, by my username or something..i don't see it there :(
This is my postbit template where i put that $vb3petsthreadbit variable:
<div>
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
$vb3petsthreadbit
<if condition="$show['reputation']">$post[reputationdisplay]</if>
</div>
Thats correctly inputted are you sure you added all the code???

Did you actually create the new $vb3petsthreadbit template? And if you have several styles [vbulletin themes], you might have to add the variable to each of them and/or to the parent styles. If you're using postbit_legacy, might want to check that you've added it to that postbit template instead of the original.

has anyone modified this to restrict pets to certain usergroups?
If someone has already done that, sharing the nods would be nice. It would save me duplicating effort. I'm not planning to install until vB3 comes out final.
TomokiG
02-05-2004, 06:45 AM
Restriction is very easy to do by modifying the template "modifyprofile":
Change from
<option value="255" <if condition="$bbuserinfo[pettype] == 255">selected</if>>Adminpet</option>
... to ...
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6"><option value="255" <if condition="$bbuserinfo[pettype] == 255">selected</if>>Adminpet</option></if>
In that case only the admins have access to that pet... You can also use Logical OR for adding other Groups...

Great addon. Ive altered it slightly to include options for colours and different types of pet. I'd be great if they could grow / evolve at certain levels. If you want an idea of what the pet tables look like within the new vb3 postbit you can check my forum here: http://www.ragol.co.uk/forums/

Although I probably wouldn't use this hack, for fear that people would post senseless spam just to keep their critters happy, I think it's a great hack! LOL I'm sure it's alot of fun. ;)
Umm will there be a battle system placed in later versions? This would be nice lol.

Umm will there be a battle system placed in later versions? This would be nice lol.The plan (as of now) is to have the battle system in place for this next upcoming version (v2.0)...hopefully later this week we'll be releasing screenshots and a list of features for v2...rock.
great mod, ill wait till vb3 gold to install it

on Showthread, there's no a box like this : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=16404

and would Love to get it to work.
It does display in edit profile but the actual pet does not
display in the showthread page.
Any ideas?
Topdog
02-14-2004, 09:26 PM
I had vbpets installed on rc3 before i upgraded to rc4 and it worked fine on both of em. You could try running through the instructions again, make sure you create the extra pet coloumns into the user tables (to do this you'll need permission to run queries from within your admin cp, you can do this by editing your config.php file). You'll also have to create the actual pets template yourself (this is the table that displays your pets name and picture etc on your members posts) by editing your forums style.
These are the main bits that i reckon peeps will get stuck on or forget..

Hi Topdog, I Checked and Recheck...did everything correctly but dosent show.
I did notice that all other template calls look like this:
$post[posts]
while the one i added is:
$vb3petsthreadbit
without any []
....basically i followed the directions properly.
...also I checked the database and all user table alterations are proper.
Any help would be Great!
when version 2.0 will be out ?

+ Pet Development Kit (PDK) - would allow Admin's to create new pets.
+ Ability for users to turn off the display of all pets. Similar to turning off the view of avatars and sig's.
I think I'll wait until you've got these features before installing it, but I'm deffinetly interested in the hack :)

I followed the great installation instructions. However when I was at the part
where it says postbit OR postbit_legacy... I figured I can do either one..so I
editied my postbit. The pet dident show up. Now I just did the same mod in
postbit_legacy and it works!

I'm following the instructions exactly as far as I can tell. Is it because I'm running vb3 RC4? Would it just be my server?

I am not sure why, but last time I tried to make it work, I used postbit and then made the changes to postbit_legacy, but it still didn't work for me. I tried it again today and now it works!!!

AutomatikStudio

Does anyone know how I can limit the Pets usage to users in a specific category?This can be done using vB3 <if> statements. My guess is that it would be best to wrap the table where the user can change their pet info in MODIFYPROFILE in something like <if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroup]==2"> table stuff here </if>That right there would only let the pets show up for user group 2. You can change the "==2" to "!=2" to make it so that all groups EXCEPT group 2 can see the pet stuff in the profile.

I have to say that I have this hack installed in my RC4 messageboard and it installed flawlessly. Very awesome job guys. I did not find a use for this, but my users love it.
What I would like to see is some ACP control (turn on/off the pet system, allow/disallow pets from certain users/groups, modify the exp table, etc).
In addition, the ability for me to add/remove pets would be awesome.
Maybe some pets that are free (and look like it) and others that can be bought.
Maybe buying items for your pet and have it displayed by the pet graphic.
Maybe having certain pets not be available until you have xx posts.
How about pets for particular usergroups only.
Can't wait for 2.0. Good job on this one.

Can't wait for 2.0. Good job on this one.Hello bitg. Glad you like the hack! Thanks for the nice comments. I'll use this post to go ahead and update everyone on the status of 2.0. The development of vB3 Pets 2.0 is coming along nice. We've, for the most part, established the layout of the "Pet Shop". The Pet Shop is where 90% of pet interaction will take place. We are also developing our own store for the pet shop so you can buy things for your pets, pay for your pet to get pet sitted by another member, feed your pet, etc. etc. We've completed numerous features of the hack already but the 2 main things left to code are the store and the battle system. The store has been coded to some extent, but the battle system is yet to be started on. Our goal is to release vB3 Pets 2.0 shortly after vB3 Gold is released. That way, we can be sure that Pets 2.0 will be compliant right from the start with Gold. Anywho...thanks again everybody for all the input and nice comments. You guys and gals rock.:ninja:

I'm having this same problem, and now that I've gone over the changes I made several times and my head is swimming with code, I'm hoping someone here can help me! Upon each lookover, everything appears to be in its proper place, although of course it's not because I can't get the pets to appear in the postbit. LOL! I can change them within my profile, I can see the pet images are in the correct folders on my server, etc. I'm just at a loss right now as to what piece of code I may need to re-tweak to get this to work.

This is about the Pet Store you're going to have.
I already have a point system in my message board, can you put an option, similar to the Arcade Pass hack, that can tell where the points table is at? For example, my point table is in the user table called "rpgmoney". Would I easily be able to tell the Coding from the Pet Store that that's the money I want to use?

I found the error, I... kinda.... seem to have edited the wrong part of the template. But the idiot I am I haven't got a backup. Am I screwed completely?

Are you refering to the templates or the PHP files? If it's just at template, then you would just have to revert back to the original file.

I think he means to see the status of your own pet in userCP.
As it is, you have to go find your post(s) to see your pet status.

Yes, JackG has it right in his post (thanks).. I meant UserCP. I was a little tired when I typed the message, they want to be able to see there status in the side panel on the usercp rather than searching for a post.

(this in reference to ZSDave's Pet Hack as he lamely attempted to spam the thread.. post has now been removed but still my comment stands true) Nice enough hack some nice features an` all but with just one Pet It just wouldn`t cut the mustard with my members they like there variety. Also I don`t think it`s fair to "spam" another hack creators thread to promote your own, but that`s just a personal opinion.

We are aiming to release vB3 Pets version 2.0 when Gold is released. We have not released it sooner because:
We want it to be compatible with Gold. If we released it now, we'd have to released an updated version and with Gold's release being so soon, it would be pointless to do that.
We want to make sure our hack is bug free.
Thanks everybody for being patient. I promise good things are own the way. Hopefully we'll be able to give you guys/gals some screenshots this weekend.

k
did you do these below yet ?
+ Levels of existence (sick, tired, hungry, bored, etc.) w/ different pet images for each of those.
+ Store integration with different Store hacks as those store hacks become available. This would give the possibility to buy things such as toys, treats, clothes, and other fun goodies.
+ Pet battles.
+ Pet of the month.
+ Abilitiy to interact with other users pets. IE pet them, feed them, play with them, etc.
+ Pet sitting. Allow friends on the boards take care of your pets if you will be gone for a while.
+ Animated pets. Possibly via Flash.
+ Pet Development Kit (PDK) - would allow Admin's to create new pets.
+ Ability to create forum-specific pets and behaviors.
+ Pets could occasionally get loose and visit other members.
+ Ability for users to turn off the display of all pets. Similar to turning off the view of avatars and sig's.
or even more than this ? ^^

I read his post, that was very rude. I thought private messages were suppose to be "private". In any case, I have 3 choices of Pet hacks now. @_@;;
There's Petz, this one, and someone else I know is making one the way I'd like it (custom made). But I'm cutting them down to yours and the custom one because of the database. They both would end up using the same point table. This is gonna be rather difficult to choose, but... I'd like to help with your hack. Is there any way I can help you with?

Closing shop....
This is an announcement I was hoping I wouldn't have to make. I pushed for weeks to not have to say this, hoping there was some way out. But unfortunately there is not.
I, personally, will no longer be doing any official development of vB3 Pets. I have 25 hours of school a week in addition to maintaining almost 20 websites and doing countless small graphic/multimedia projects for different clients. I have way to much on my plate...I really probably need 4 or 5 plates to hold all the stuff I've gotten myself into.
So what is the status of version 2 of this hack?
Well, good question. The bits and pieces of information I've been giving about the status of the coding have been the random bits and pieces of info I occassionally get from the guy who's coding. I honestly can't tell you exactly how much is done. I can only go by what he has told me, which lately hasn't exactly been much. It just goes to show that you can't put much trust in other people. Obviously people have priorities, but communication is the number one key to accomplishing a goal and communication on a certain coder's part has been practicaly non-existent. I have been under the impression that the coding was almost done for almost 3 weeks now but it seems that I'm being avoided lately, so I can't really tell you for sure where things are.
So who's hack is it now?
It's yours. It's now the property of anybody that would like to contribute to it. The only thing I ask is that it not be used for commercial purposes. It must remain free. I'm not positive what the current coder plans to do with his code that he has thus far. I'd say I would ask him but he hasn't returned my e-mails or IM's in many days now. If he wishes to release his code, so be it. To my knowledge, all of the things listed in the first post about what would be in version 2 have been coded minus the battling and stores, which are supposedly somewhat finished.
In closing...
In addition to the fact that I have no time to develop this anymore, motivation was quickly lost to continue working when someone stole all of mine and your ideas. I advise other coders to be careful of what information you release about your upcoming hack. People steal ideas and make them their own REAL quick. They even try to sell them at first. Heck...they even post in the guys thread they stole the ideas from telling people to buy their hack. But that's just people I guess.
Again, I'm very sorry for all of the people that have been waiting patiently for this hack. I to have been waiting, hoping things could work out. Feel free to PM or post if you have questions.
Thanks for listening.

Hopefully someone else can take over it because it was good..and our members wanted more..I swear Jack...you are pushing my buttons. First off, you act like this was some huge hack...it has 3 small file edits and 3 template edits. Hardly a large complicated hack. I didn't force you to install it in the first place. So "take the time to install it" is a stupid excuse at best. Second...DON'T YOU DARE CRITICIZE MY DECISIONS! When you're in my shoes, then I'll give half a crap about anything you have to say. Jack, it's people like you that are bringing vb.org down. You criticize, complain, moan, and demand from coders and NEVER give back. I did my best and took time out of my own busy schedule to convert this hack as well as provide support for it. Heck, I STILL provide support for it. And what do you do? You complain!! I haven't received a dime for my time...and I don't want any money for this. What I wanted to do was contribute to this community. And it was my pleasure to do so...it's my pleasure until ungrateful people such as yourself start thinking that coders owe you something. If you don't like the fact that I don't have time to further this hack (frankly I don't care), here are your optioins: 1) Install the other Pet Hack...it's a good hack...just doesn't have the greatest graphics. or 2) GO AWAY!

Pardon me for jumping in here, but I've been looking over these hacks and think you now have the ability to take yours a slightly different direction a lot of people would appreciate. Much as I admire the amount of work having gone into these, I would never install zsdave's hack on my board because it's too ... violent (for lack of a better word).
My forum is designed to appeal to mature minded people - most of them pet lovers - who have no desire whatsoever to engage in "Petz Wars". However, they would be more than willing to interact with a clever system that addresses everything else you must do to keep, raise, and maintain a pet.
The stuff you had about pets losing health points if a member didn't show up to feed it etc. is good, but this can be endlessly extrapolated. For instance pets need shots (and other medical attention), grooming, you have to clean up their poop, make sure they have a nice place to sleep, give them special treats, make sure they get exercise ... the list is endless.
You could build in something that allows people to customize their pets so pet shows could be held every once in awhile where everybody votes on the best one, and the winner gets a chunk of added reputation. Maybe find a way to train pets, so maybe if you've proven over time you've taken care of your pet they can do things for you, like automatically respond to a preselected user's post with a funny random comment. Stuff like that.
Might not sound as exciting as a whole roomful of pets fighting each other, but damn, a detailed system operating a little closer to reality would find an endearing market quickly, I'm betting.

Much as I admire the amount of work having gone into these, I would never install zsdave's hack on my board because it's too ... violent (for lack of a better word).
My forum is designed to appeal to mature minded people - most of them pet lovers - who have no desire whatsoever to engage in "Petz Wars". However, they would be more than willing to interact with a clever system that addresses everything else you must do to keep, raise, and maintain a pet.
The stuff you had about pets losing health points if a member didn't show up to feed it etc. is good, but this can be endlessly extrapolated. For instance pets need shots (and other medical attention), grooming, you have to clean up their poop, make sure they have a nice place to sleep, give them special treats, make sure they get exercise ... the list is endless.
You could build in something that allows people to customize their pets so pet shows could be held every once in awhile where everybody votes on the best one, and the winner gets a chunk of added reputation. Maybe find a way to train pets, so maybe if you've proven over time you've taken care of your pet they can do things for you, like automatically respond to a preselected user's post with a funny random comment. Stuff like that.
Might not sound as exciting as a whole roomful of pets fighting each other, but damn, a detailed system operating a little closer to reality would find an endearing market quickly, I'm betting.
What part of "don't have time" don't you guys understand? He has alot of work in his end. This hack he made is just for kicks, to kill time. Unfortunatly, he doesn't have time to kill anymore. Rather stay with this hack, or use the other pet hack. Don't try to change his mind if he's already made up. Also, he's not the coder of the hack. Someone else was (if you didn't read the first post of this thread), and the coder wasn't heard of again, if I understood correctly. Personally I won't bug him about the hack, it's already good as it is. I'd prefer this one over the other pet hack.
What part of ... [blah blah blah]
I don't recall addressing you on this matter, but thanks. I can both read and respect people's decisions. If it weren't for this little gem:
In closing...
In addition to the fact that I have no time to develop this anymore, motivation was quickly lost to continue working when someone stole all of mine and your ideas. I advise other coders to be careful of what information you release about your upcoming hack. People steal ideas and make them their own REAL quick. They even try to sell them at first. Heck...they even post in the guys thread they stole the ideas from telling people to buy their hack. But that's just people I guess.
...I might be inclined to believe he really didn't care about this hack anymore. The feeling I get is the main reason he's collapsing the project is frustration, so I must assume this is the impression he intended to convey.
We're all busy people. Whether he decides to reengage the project or not, his alternate statements on the opening post of this thread flagrantly place this hack in the public domain, so it couldn't hurt to look at this from a slightly different perspective for anyone who's interested. If I've figured out nothing else in my life I've learned:
A) it's pointless to be paranoid about other people stealing your ideas. It's frustrating, certainly, yet when you have one idea you automatically know you have the ability to encounter many more.
B) The two most common excuses people use to fail at anything are time and money (in that precise order).
Lots of people are obviously interested in this hack, so I'm betting it's feasible to drum up enough support to pursue it in a different direction people would appreciate. That's all I'm saying.

im running this hack on vb3.0.1 and havent had any problems......other than my own mistakes LOL
This hack is what it is, good for some not good enough for others.
If you think this hack is cool then by all means install it!
If you dont feel this hack is for you then MOVE ON and use another,there is no need to bash anyone or their work period

That's all I'm saying.To each his own welo, but I frankly don't care if you believe me or not. I'm not a liar and I have nothing to hide behind, I said I don't have time because I don't have time. It's getting pretty old people thinking they know my situation I'm in when in fact they've never even had a conversation with me. So, until you atleast make some sort of small talk with me, do everybody a favor and a be quiet. Also, for what it's worth, I'm not providing support for this hack anymore. People constantly demanding and thinking I owe them support by PMing me and messaging me, in addition to people suddenly knowing my life story, is getting very old.

And I wasn't just telling you, but everyone who keeps bugging him in general. Just leave the guy alone already. He has more important things to deal with. Has he come up with other hacks? Have you spoke with him on any chat program? Do you know the situation he's in? None of us do, so we don't have the right to call him a lier if we don't really know the true facts. That's all I'M saying, 'cause this might start some pointless flame war. >_>;

hey guys, I must let Automatik know that he is well appreicated.
I was giving him some beef but it was with good intention to
try and sway him to get back on this great project.
I just wanted to maybe help him by showing that he made a great impact
to many of us in a positive way.
#1 i want to say THANK YOU for this sweet Hack. I like it as it is and wont flame around because you know what are the really important things. Many Egoists in here ...
I've just a little question about the EXP. I think it means experience.
From where does it come ( mathematically), i have got some Powerposter with a EXP of 4 or something like this. Just want to know it that i could tell it to them.
Thanks in advance!
Could somone tell it me please!

some one here able to offer me some assistance installing this? I've installed this on 3 seperate occasions and it's not getting me anywhere. :(
When trying to view a thread I'm getting this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in C:\Apache2\htdocs\vb3\showthread.php on line 67
When I'm trying to edit my profile I'm getting this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in C:\Apache2\htdocs\vb3\profile.php on line 922
someone posted almost the exact same errors as I did around page 6 but later said "got it working" and that was all. LOL good but unfortunately I can't learn from his ways! I've quadruple checked the file mods and I can't see any errors and all 4 queries to the database are done and fine. ergh..

OK I have pet2 installed and I want to update but I want to know how to remove it and use this one. I went to that thread first and now I wish I came to this one.
No disrespect to the other creator but I have a graphic related board and my members are going crazy lol
What do I call this table?
ALTER TABLE user ADD pettype int(3) NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE user ADD petname varchar(25) NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE user ADD petgender int(3) NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE user ADD petowned int(3) NOT NULL default '0'
What do I name this table? I can figure out the rest. I just want to be sure about the Data base stuff. I always get nervous.
On a side note. great freakin hack. And ignore the other idiot who has soooooo much free time. SO much free time to keep coming into a post to talk garbage. He said he's not updating the hack but he will help. it looks great to me as is. I just read every page and I just want to say thank you for your time in this hack. Good luck with school. I have my education and I understand how much time has to be put into it.

AutomatikStudio - Thanks a million for this hack, its brilliant , and i think if people want to further advance your idea, they should look into doing it themselves or ask someone else for help and not bother you about it.
Now I know this is probably a little late, but ......

Fusion -- the table you edit is USER -- if you go to your VB SQL command section (Admin Control Panel - Import and Maintenance - Execute SQL Query) and copy the lines 1 by 1 into the Manual Query Box ...
The Sql instructions will be wll be executed that way , and new tables will be created inside the USER section.

On another note , i tried adding the pet stats to a page outside the Vb section of my boards , and i got it all figured out except for 1 part ...
Im not sure how to work out the formula for the Health ....
I have it working in a way , but the forumula seems to be missing something , so i was wondering if anyone would be able to figure out what the forumla for health for the pets on a page outside Vb would work ?
This is what i tried , but i know its wrong ....im wondering if someone can get me a correct version ? (im not great at PHP myself so help would be appreciated)
$joindates = date( "y.md", $jdate);
$jointime = round(TIMENOW - $joindates) / 15200000; // Days Joined
if ($jointime < 1)
{
$postsperday = round($posts);
}
else
{
$postsperday = round($posts/$jointime , 2);
}
// Knomans RPG Stats Function edited for vB3 Pets## //
$petlvl = str_replace(array(' ', ',', '.'), '', $posts);
$level = pow (log10 ($petlvl), 3);
$petep = floor (100 * ($level - floor ($level)));
$petshowlevel = floor ($level + 1);
$pethpmulti =round ($postsperday / 6, 1);
if ($pethpmulti > 1.5) {
$pethpmulti = 1.5;
}
if ($pethpmulti < 1) {
$pethpmulti = 1;
}
$petmaxhp = $level * 25 * $pethpmulti;
$pethp= $postsperday / 5; //number of posts required to maintain HP level
if ($pethp >= 1) {
$pethp= $petmaxhp;
} else {
$pethp= floor ($pethp * $petmaxhp);
}
$pethp= floor ($pethp);
$petmaxhp= floor ($petmaxhp);
if ($petmaxhp <= 0) {
$petzhp = 1;
} else {
$petzhp = $petmaxhp;
}
$pethpf= floor (100 * ($pethp / $petzhp)) - 1;
// ## End RPG Stats Function ## //
And this is how im trying to output it
<? echo("<div>
<strong>Level:</strong> $petshowlevel<br>
<strong>Health:</strong> $pethp / $petmaxhp </div>"); ?>

I haven't read through all 16 pages of this thread, but I was wondering if anybody was taking on this hack now that the original developer dropped it? THe idea seems kinda lame, but I was thinking... is what would make it much better is if as the life of the "pet" dropped, the image would change as well so that I could specify a new image of the users pet "dying". This would make users feel guilty about their poor pet and want to post... OK maybe not, but it might be kinda koo.

I updated my forums with this hack Postbit Alignment (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88171&highlight=layout+left+user) now vB3 Pets works fine when the alignment is set to top but if you move it to the left the vB3 Pets disappears.
Anyway of getting it back on left alignment as having vB3 Pets show on top setting makes the user details section massive.
Check out what I mean at xLAN (http://www.xlan.co.uk).

For the record: I have let the comments Automatik made go, until now. I'm not starting a flame war or anything. The Petz hack I created was completely different to this one and I did try to talk to Automatik about improving his hack before I even started on a new route. After I had created PetzVB Automatik offered to do some images for me - but unfortunately that fell through...
Also the advertising and what not - I was not aware of the ethos of the board.
So now that that is cleared up... Who wants pie?

God there is a lot of spam in this thread. You won't beleive how much crap I have had to sift though to make sure no one else has posted this.
Excellent idea and Excellent hack by the look of things. The incompetance of some people here astounds me becasue it contains a nice, easy to follow guide.
I am running Vb 3.07. Yes I know its a few versions up but I really want this hack. I have followed every instruction exactly as I have read it, however, I have had problems.
When I replace the code in the modifyprofile template and tell it to save, the error I get is
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /homepages/12/d120800258/htdocs/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3096) : eval()'d code on line 247
I get pretty much the same when I go in to the profile in the User CP. And when I do, everything that should normally be there has vanished. There is no "Custom User Title" or anything. Just a blank screen.
Any help on this would be appreciated as I would love to have this insalled on my site.
Thanks for your time,
