vBookie for vBulletin 3.5

[fly]

Any chance that the new version can have the option of a vig?

[SVTCobraLTD]

execute this SQL query:

UPDATE user SET vbookie_cash=500;

Can you explain more? I do not see these settings in phpmyadmin

[bobster65]

Can you explain more? I do not see these settings in phpmyadmin

that isn't a setting, its an SQL Query that you have to run against the Database..

Open you DB in phpmyadmin and on the top row you will see "tabs" named Structure, SQL, Search, Query, Export, Import, Operations, Privileges and Drop..

Click on the SQL tab, paste the Query that she gave you and then hit the GO button

[SVTCobraLTD]

Thanks, I knew it was not an option but didnt know where to paste it.

What about resetting the score board entirely?

[tjdrico]

Awesome stuff merk_aus!

Do you have a paypal account I can send you some money to? Hit me up by PM, I'd like to donate some coin your way.

Just a warning to anyone using PayPal to accept donations for vBookie: I had my PayPal account closed by them. The reason they gave was that I was using PayPal to "support gambling" or bookmaking (because I used it to accept vBookie donations). I explained that vBookie was a virtual system and no real bets or real money was used, and they bought that for a while, but eventually my account was terminated again and I had to set up a new one.

[tjdrico]

I've just reinstalled this on my current forum. \o/ Thanks to Andreas and merk_aus for picking up vBookie and keeping it going.

[Jeff66]

A number of bugs have been fixed including one that almost ruined my website where the users get their money back plus their winnings - in real life betting this does not happen.

I found that if people put 100 credits on an event that was paying 2/1 if that event won they would get the 100 credits they originally bet back, as well as 200 further credits for winning meaning if you have multiple bets available then your users can cheat and bet 100 credits on two outcomes and not lose any credits overall as it was handing money back to them.

So I have fixed this bug to react like real betting


That's not a bug, that's how it's supposed to work.
English odds work that way - if you win you get your stake back along with the winnings. If people are using other odds systems with vBookie they should adjust the odds to take this into account.
There is a bug though, in that vBookie incorrectly displays the odds in decimal format - as mentioned here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=908036&postcount=631


Maybe there could be an option to choose which kind of odds system to use, it might be confusing if lots of people who are used to the existing system have to get used to something new, particularly if the new system is different to what they're used to seeing at real bookmakers.

I had the exact thing happen to me with both vBookie and the Casino add on... PP did an audit and shut me down for "gambling" .. once I explained that it was all "virtual" they reactivated my PP account... then about a year later, same thing happened again.

Its not a simple answer.. multiple tables involved and it depends on what you are willing to also get rid of along with it.

My bookie events are for football. The football season is about to start again and I would like to wipe the stats clean. I have already reset all the users money to the starting amount but the amount of money spent is still from last years games.

[DS MrSinister]

I would just uninstall and reinstall vbookie...

the vbookie_bets_placed Table is where all of that info is stored (for the user) .. maybe try truncating that table (make a backup of the table data first) and see if that does what you want it to..

You may end up having to truncate the vbookie_items and vbookie_item_options tables as well ....

Which instructions did you use? I haven't installed yet but I want to.

Also... can some answer this random question for me?

... how do you determine the odds of winning? i.e the 10/1 or 2/5? On games like football, soccer, ect. I don't know how this works??

This is what I do:

Run the following database queries:

update thread set vbookie_item_id = 0
update user set vbookie_cash = 500



Empty the following tables:

vbookie_bets_placed
vbookie_items
vbookie_item_options

[Switch3130]

Edit: Resolved the issue myself.

[BigFooty]

Eagerly awaiting Version 2. :up: We have a large forum and we've not been game to use an old, unsupported hack.

Thank you for the straight forward response. That did what I wanted it to.

How do you make the option that the winner gets the 'winnings' plus the stake back?

[NolimitMike]

I have a problem with mine it works up until you hit "Submit Post" it does not bring up the vbookie screen. Just takes me right to the post.

[COL NIL SATIS]

does this work on 3.8.4 vbulletin boards???

[willy888]

yes I would like to know , if it works with vb 3.8

[cockneymackem]

I have installed this feature and it is working great on the forum. Only problem is the VCash doesn't appear anywhere on user profiles? So no one is aware how much cash they have to gamble with.

Can anyone explain how to fix it? Cheers.

[New Joe]

I have a problem with mine it works up until you hit "Submit Post" it does not bring up the vbookie screen. Just takes me right to the post.
The posting of vbookie events in 3.6 or higher (3,8 works fine with after the edit as well) is broken because the hook used has moved.

To fix this problem, the following plugin must be edited ;


vBookie: Redirect to vbookie.php when posting new Event

Replace the plugin code with this ;

PHP Code:
if ($newpost['postvbookieevent'])
{
$vbulletin->url = 'vbookie.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "t=$newpost[threadid]&vbookieeventoptions=$newpost[vbookieeventoptions]&do=newevent";
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_postthanks_ moderate', true, false

After that then disable the mod then re able it, that should make it work.

[New Joe]

does this work on 3.8.4 vbulletin boards???

Yes, but do the above edits to the php and the disable and re able it.

[New Joe]

I have installed this feature and it is working great on the forum. Only problem is the VCash doesn't appear anywhere on user profiles? So no one is aware how much cash they have to gamble with.

Can anyone explain how to fix it? Cheers.
Did you read the 'read me' and do the 'Template edits' ?
Probably not, read and edit them.

[cockneymackem]

Yes I have done the template edits.

[New Joe]

Yes I have done the template edits.
In your admin >vB Options>vBookie do you have this option set to 'yes'? >Display vBookie Cash in Postbit

[cockneymackem]

Yes I do have that set too. Thanks for the help New Joe, appreciate it. Any other ideas why it won't be working?

[New Joe]

Not sure, can all your members make a vBookie Thread?
Are you sure you got the Template edits in the right place? Have you re checked them?

[cockneymackem]

My forum is v3.8 would that change anything?

http://www.ffomanager.com/forum

The FFO Bookmaker is my vbulletin board.

[hipplewm]

OK, I run 3.7.0

Initially the vcash wasn't showing up, so i put it in postbit instead of posbit_legacy and now it shows up.

I am having problem with the hook for newevent, I add a thread, check the box and it goes to the thread, not a new event. I have added the code in post #2274 to no avail

I am pretty compentent at vbulletin and I have recheck my template mods, and know they are they as the check box is there, as well as cash shows up on postbit.

[hipplewm]

NVMD,
I got the code to add to the plugin off of a different thread than the original, which is so buried, i still haven't found.

It was a syntax, no closing } all works fine now

[Mr_TriGGeR]

Is there a quary that I can run to remove a specific users bets. He is playing games and I want to be able to remove them and warn them but not ruin it for others. Yes if it continues I wiill disable his access but I want to warn peeps first.

Thanks

[AndyMP]

Has anyone made this work on 3.8 ?

Edit : I made the code adjustment as posted on the previous page of this thread. However as noted in #2282, creating a new event is a problem.

Edit : Post 2218 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1818396&postcount=2218 solved the problem for me. Working nicely now.

[ProFifaLeagues]

installed on 3.8.4 with the help of this

have this working for 3.8.1 PL1. This works for any forum version with the right modifications done. I will write up exactly what you guys need to do to get it working.

1: Upload all files in upload folder
2: Import product-bookiehack.xml
3: Goto ACP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager
4: Edit Redirect to vbookie.php when posting new Event by replacing the entire code with this
PHP Code:
if ($newpost['postvbookieevent'])
{
$vbulletin->url = 'vbookie.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "t=$newpost[threadid]&vbookieeventoptions=$newpost[vbookieeventoptions]&do=newevent";
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_postthanks_ moderate', true, false));
}
5: In template Newthread find
PHP Code:
$threadmanagement
. Above that add the following code
PHP Code:
<if condition="$show['vbookieevent']">
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[post_a_vbookieevent]</legend>
<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
<div><label for="cb_postvbookieevent"><input type="checkbox" name="postvbookieevent" value="yes" id="cb_postvbookieevent" tabindex="1" $checked[postvbookieevent] />$vbphrase[yes_post_a_vbookieevent_thread]</label></div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</if>
6: Download ICash and install
7: Change ICash Options. Change the Money Row to vbookie_cash

This will definately work for you. I have left off showing the points in the postbit and the link in the navbar. If you need to add these the code is the same as the original.
Sorry but where exactly does Step #4 go? Thanks!

But still dont see any option on making a new thread to add new thread to create a new event,all other bits are working ie vbookie in nav bar and the link opens the correct page but with out any events as i cant add them any help guys please!!!

[rootsxrocks]

Duhh read the last page ROOT

[rootsxrocks]

Rammie how is that working for you? are you using vbcredits with it ?
I have a premium version of game room but nto real happy with it. we want more stats and winner announcements.

Id be willing to look at a whole new gameroom system poker and other card games, something with a prettier interface and more details.

oh and multiple developers so they don't all just disappear

[SVTCobraLTD]

Looks like some people have this working on 3.8.4. I am hoping to get mine to work shortly.

[epp_forum]

Have done all the template tweaks suggested but cannot see how to add a new event. vBookie is turned on, disabled and then re enabled the plugin, any one got any suggestions? Our vbulletin is version 3.8.4 pl 1

Everything is there except the new event!

ok got this working, you need to make sure you check the forum permissioning very carefully, just adding vbookie to the admin usergroup for example wont do it, you need to check each forum you want to post events to.

That sounds very reassuring. (sarcasm) :)

A month to prepare instructions is a long time. Has he given up?

I don't understand why people have dropped the ball with this mod. There is obviously a demand for it as it still has many installations.

Just because there is a demand for it, doesn't mean that people can drop everything to code something (for free). I too hope he releases it soon, but Im sure it will be ready "when its ready."

:D

[themikefrancesa]

I would go absolutely wild if this works.

I tried reading through about 100 pages of this thread since I'm not too much of a coder. I'm gonna try to install and follow the fixes and see what happens.

Such a wonderful hack, and there is such a big demand for it.

Mines works, but I have a general question, in the vbookie.php where you can find the open / closed posted bets etc, well I've got a number of open bets which threads were physically deleted. (Thread | Info).. When I click thread it just says 'No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator' I know the thread is gone and there is no delete option but would it be possible for me to get these removed from the vbookie.php and how can I do this?

Know what else would be awesome, some sort of hack which works alongside vbookie and posts updates / latest events etc on the forumhome index.

Thanks!

[Delilahs]

You need to go into your mysql database and physically remove them from there.

When you say yours works, is that in vB4?

and if so, does it look ok, and what did you do to get the alignments correct?

I hope it will work eventually for vbulletin 4. I seriously need this mod for my football forum. I sit waiting patiently.

Yep, this is an essential part of my football site as well. I can't upgrade to VB 4 until there is a vBookie version that works with it or there is something equivalent out there. I fear that it could be a while before I'm able to make the leap to VB4. I would definitely pay $$$ to support this mod or purchase it.

You can run the SQL queries in AdminCP in the Maintenance menu.

For a complete vBookie reset run these SQL queries:

Reset everyone's vCash:

UPDATE user SET vbookie_cash=X;
where X= vCash (eg 500)

To totally clear all past events:

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

Some other useful vBookies queries people might find useful:

To remove a specific event:
DELETE FROM vbookie_items WHERE item_id = 'X';

replace X with the item id which you can get by mousing over the info link in the affected vbookie event.

To remove a news event:
DELETE FROM vbookie_news WHERE news_id = X';

To Abandon/Mitigate a wrongly settled event:

UPDATE vbookie_items SET item_status='CLOSED' WHERE item_id= 'X';

This will change it from Settled to Closed. Then click the Abandon Event link in the thread. This only returns the original stakes. vCash won as a result of the incorrect settlement is not taken away and changing the winner in the thread has no effect.

As far as I'm concerned anyone is free to hack up my original code and modify it to suit vBulletin 4. I also want vBookie on my own forum once I upgrade it to 4.0, but after spending all day coding PHP, I tend to spend my free time playing Team Fortress 2.

Rather than modifying the old code though, I might just write a new version from the ground up, since my coding's better now than it was 5 years ago. ;) That said, I wouldn't advise anyone to hold their breath waiting for me, as I've been thinking about it for ages, and haven't actually done anything yet...

I would be so happy if you could do this or someone else in the long run as running a football forum, this mod was the heart of my forums lol. I've Not upgraded yet, but will be in under a months time. Also I've removed all mods from my site bar a few, ready for the upgrade.

Good luck to you and thanks for committing to re-making this great mod.

There have been many people on thread who have requested some great features to be implemented. Hopefully you will consider some of those.

Good luck to you and thanks for committing to re-making this great mod.

There have been many people on thread who have requested some great features to be implemented. Hopefully you will consider some of those.

The one I'd like to see is the ability to do one on one betting. (I bet you 50K that x will beat y)
My main priority is getting it converted and released first - then I'll go from there as far as new features :) It'll need some testing before I'm comfortable adding new features.

When do you plan on releasing vBookie 4.0?

[dartho]

Sorry, SecondV, I don't check this forum much.

As far as I'm concerned anyone is free to hack up my original code and modify it to suit vBulletin 4. I also want vBookie on my own forum once I upgrade it to 4.0, but after spending all day coding PHP, I tend to spend my free time playing Team Fortress 2.

Rather than modifying the old code though, I might just write a new version from the ground up, since my coding's better now than it was 5 years ago. ;) That said, I wouldn't advise anyone to hold their breath waiting for me, as I've been thinking about it for ages, and haven't actually done anything yet...

Does this mean we have to work from the 3.0 code base, or can we extend Andreas' work?

I got ths working under vbulletin 4.0 a month or so back based on Andreas' port and requested, but never got permission from Andreas to release it ...

[Switch3130]

Would you mind releasing it? This is the last thing my site needs.

Please and thank you.

[dartho]

I guess I could, I get the impression Andreas has enough to do and this add-on doesn't have much of a priority ...

Stay tuned...

[Switch3130]

Awesome can't wait.

[Eric]

Figures... I see a vB4 version has been released.

So once again, I will stop work on it. (:

[Chase]

Still would like to see someone fix the version for 3.8.4 where it works out of the box... not having to make changes.

[fly]

Still would like to see someone fix the version for 3.8.4 where it works out of the box... not having to make changes.

[Chase]

Like many others, don't want to upgrade to 4.0 right now.

[fly]

Like many others, don't want to upgrade to 4.0 right now.

Well, there is this version that works with some massaging, and a new version for 4.0. I wouldn't hold your breath...

[Chase]

Anyone know why it doesn't say "vBookie:" next to the link... like everyone else has?

[milsirhc]

Please make this work for 3.8.4 (Out of the box)! Pls!!

[dartho]

it's such a small amount of work to get ot to work with VB3.8.4 - I don;t understand the issue? Justy how many times do you need to install it under 3.8.4?

Look here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1910760&postcount=2291

[Reaper255]

We have done all the necessary fixes but with 3.8.4 PL2 we cannot get it added. If you would please give up some help it would be greatly appreciated.

[dartho]

Try this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1770679&postcount=2152

[GardsJr]

We have tried that twice.

[dartho]

I dont; want to come across as rude, but complaints of "it doesn't work" are pretty worthless without more information. In the past I have dealt with people who had issues with software not working as they didn't realise they needed to actually install it. I;m not suggesting this is the case here - but a starting point would be helpful.

Short story is that it does work, you just have to install it right.

So - what doesn't work?

[GardsJr]

Sorry about that, and no you didn't come across as rude. Sorry about that.

I have done most of the things mentioned in this thread, but the thing is that when I check the button so that we can put in the Bookie, it goes straight to the thread and not to the set up thing.

Again, sorry about the hassle.

[dartho]

Did you edit the "vBookie: Redirect to vbookie.php when posting new Event" plugin (AdminCP->Plugins & Products->Plugin Manager, locate plugin and click "Edit") and replace it's contents with

if ($newpost['postvbookieevent'])
{
$vbulletin->url = 'vbookie.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "t=$newpost[threadid]&vbookieeventoptions=$newpost[vbookieeventoptions]&do=newevent";
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_postthanks_ moderate', true, false));
}

?

[GardsJr]

Yeah, I did that. Thanks again for trying to help.

[dartho]

so you get the tick box when you post a new thread, and after checking it and submitting your thread it doesn;lt ask for any more info - just goes back to teh forum with your new thread in it, but no vBookie event?

[GardsJr]

That is precisely the problem. :)

I am heading to bed, so I will check your response in the morning.

Thanks again.

[Chase]

I followed these instructions and it worked fine. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1770679&postcount=2152

Just need to do what it says and it will work.

My only question, Dartho, is that it doesn't say "vBookie" directly to the left of the link. I'm not sure if this is intentional but I've seen this on all installations on bookie, except mine.

Any ideas?

[dartho]

That happens in the vBookie: Thread Prefix and Icon plugin which s on the threadbit_process hook. Check that it is enabled and if you have other plugins on the same hook.

Try changing it's execution order to 10

[Reaper255]

We have done all the changes said but still when posting a new topic it wont redirect us to Vbookie.

[Chase]

It was enabled and I changed the execution order to 10 and it didn't fix it.

[Reaper255]

Okay i think we have everything set up, but only one problem, when i go to give Admins permission to use Vbookie, after i save it, it just goes back to no permissions.

[Reaper255]

Okay i think we have everything set up, but only one problem, when i go to give Admins permission to use Vbookie, after i save it, it just goes back to no permissions.

Okay fixed this problem but now im back to the original problem. I cant post an event, it just wont let me, it goes to my normal thread.

[Reaper255]

Can anyone help?

[Chase]

Is there a way vbookie events can be added to existing threads?

[dartho]

Yeah you can do this by going to the URL
vbookie.php?t=xxxxx&vbookieeventoptions=0&do=newevent
where xxxxx is the threadid of the trhead you wish to add an event to

[Chase]

hmm well I'm using vbseo on my forums, which changes the url makeup.

i.e) http://webaddress.com/general-discussions/6743-threadtitle.html

[dartho]

hmm well thats nice. Your threadid in the example you posted is 6743

[blind-eddie]

I have this running on my 3.8 board, it works, but with issues.
Single & Multiple Events can be created without issue & Thread is also created without issue.
When settling events is when I get database errors every time about Duplicate Keys.
Are these caused by the same member betting more then one event? If so, how can this be corrected.
Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO vbookie_news (news_text,news_type,news_time) VALUES('<b>oZ.wildjay-eddie</b> won <b>125</b>!','winner',1265523235);

MySQL Error : Duplicate entry '<b>oZ.wildjay-eddie</b> won <b>125</b>!' for key 'news_text'
Error Number : 1062


Also, when deleting an event on the vbookie main page, then the thread, the Bookie News & Events Section on the main vbookie page still shows the event I just removed.
This has to be manually removed via database.
What can be done to have it remove the event from the Bookie News & Events Section on the main vbookie page when the proper steps were taken to remove an event.
================================================== ======

Also, on the main vbookie page in the Bookie News & Events Section, After bets have been settled, each event only shows one winner & how much he/she won....how can I expand it to show more winners of each event?

I did not read through every page of this thread, but I did search for Duplicate Entery & looked through many pages to find a remedy.
Thank you in advance.

[theybannedme]

so how the hell do you give new users a default amount of vcash??

[blind-eddie]

I may be wrong, but asking a different way just might help & maybe searching through this thread you just might find the answer.
Top right side, Search this modSearch for changing default vcash.

[theybannedme]

did your suggested search. found 3 people asking the same question and they were either ignored or confronted with similar snide responses as yours.

if you don't know, just say so.

[dartho]

Edit the default value of vbookie_cash in your DB.

Something like
ALTER TABLE user CHANGE COLUMN vbookie_cash vbookie_cash BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED NULL DEFAULT 10000;
should do it. Change 10000 to whatever, and add a tableprefix to "user" if you have one

So, I read on the first post about the fact that this mod does not work for 3.6+ but see other sites that are running 3.7 and 3.8 using it.

Is there one 'all stop shop' posting or several posts that will make it functional with 3.8?

I'm going to start looking through the 160 pages to find the info, but I'd appreciate the help if anyone knows the key to get this working properly :D

By the way, I'm surprised that no one has taken this one over as it is a pretty popular hack / mod for sports-related sites.

[Chase]

Yeah you can do this by going to the URL
vbookie.php?t=xxxxx&vbookieeventoptions=0&do=newevent

Kind of stupid question, but did you set up permissions in ACP? Go to ACP and click usergroups select admin and make sure post events, and all that are checked?

[tipoboy]

is there a log for vbookie to see who settled a bet. We had a moderator settle a bet wrongly but no one will own up to it.

I've already disabled anyone but admin settling bets but would like to get to the bottom of this.

I've searched this thread but not found anything, any help is appreciated.

Giving this a try with 3.8.6 and it seemed to be working okay. I was able to create an event but it says I can't bet on it.

I have everything set to "yes" in usergroup. I rebuilt the bit fields.

Also: clicking the betting stats produces a database error.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I know its not supported in version 3.6+ but mine had been working grand and only discovered today that it has stopped due to my bookie not updating the bets.

If anyone can help me get it working again I would appreciate the help.

I can create events ok but get the following message

You may not bet on this event. You have placed 0 bet(s) on this Event.

I have followed what I can from previous posts with no joy.

Thanks

I've got the 3.8 version running and have a quick question:

Is it right that the amounts that my members are posting are meant to go onto my overall total?

I myself had a limit of 500 like the others but now have over 3000.....

[dartho]

yes - thats how I had it set up. when you settle a book, all the winnings comes out of the the bookmakers account - kinda like a real bookie

[BenWCF]

Ok, so I have all my members original stakes, but when I settle the bets, where will the winnings come from - that overall amount?

Apologies if this has been answered before - first time using this on our board.

I have been using this since it was posted & my members love it.
I took it a step further and used Article Forums by Banana Live (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=211638) to expand it a bit.
I also used Easy Forms by Banana Live (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201097) to add a request vcash link for members to request more vcash when they run out & added it to the vbookie header template.

If you want to do the same, you will need to install Article Forums by Banana Live (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=211638) , do a whole lot of phrase changes & add the vbookie header template contents to the af_articles_alt template just below the opening table.
I use them both on a few vb sites & then added them both to my I am bored & created another live test site, site.
You may have to register to view,...I like the added touch.

Demo:http://blind-eddie.com

I added a link to it in the navbar & edited the vbookie header with a link to the events forum as well.

I just wish the successor of this mod would show a bit more support & maybe add a few things to this for all the 3. whatever users that are out there....Long live 3.8.....

[MagicThemeParks]

That's a cool way to display the events Blind-Eddie. :up:

You can take it a step further and have the vbcredits be your 'cash' and then when your members run out of 'cash' they can purchase more credits via the paid PayPal mod with vBcredits. :D

Yes, I could do that but, Free is the key word here...If I were to charge to play, I would have an empty board. Plus I believe Paypal may frown down at the idea.

[BenWCF]

Morning,

So I just settled my first lot of bets, and everyones totals all seem to have updated fine...

...Apart from my own.

I don't know whether it's because I'm the Bookie and I've kept the losses of everyone else, but I've now got a total of 18446744073709539756. There were a couple of 50/1 shots that didn't fare so well but surely that number is incorrect.

Any help would be appreciated.

[dartho]

I said unsupported, but ...

I think I see what the problem is there, you've obviously lost and gone into negative but the vcash column is unsigned. You need to make teh vbookie_cash column on the user table signed. Make it a bigint(20) and you should have plenty of scope for growth ...?
SQL Command:

ALTER TABLE `user` CHANGE `vbookie_cash` `vbookie_cash` BIGINT( 20 ) NULL DEFAULT '500'

or do it via PhpMyAdmin

[dartho]

not in your admincp - in your database

[BenWCF]

not in your admincp - in your database

can i not access the database through the admincp or is it something i have to do through ftp?

I apologise for all the questions - I've never dealt with anything like this before.

[BenWCF]

right, I've been looking around on here, logged onto my hosts cpanel and put that bit of code into the Phpmyadmin section.

I now have a total of 9223372036854775807.

Where have I gone wrong now?

[dartho]

That sounds right - that number is half of the previous balance as a bit is now use for the sign. Now change your balance to what you want by editing the 'user_cash' figure against your name in the user table of your database. You could manually work out how much people won against you if you want it to be accurate, or just start with 500 again

[BenWCF]

where is the user table situated so i can edit it?

[dartho]

In your database - use phpmyadmin in cPanel

What template edits and all other essential steps?

[dartho]

just change vbookie settings in admioncp to use vcash - you can do this without removing vbcredits to test it and then switch back if needed

Took a bit to get it to work properly in 3.8.4 but, it will work.
I edited it quite a bit to suit my needs. I will share with you my edits & tweeks when I get home later today if no one else replies to your request.

[FCDobbs]

Thanks blind-eddie,
you helped to get me up and running.

[FCDobbs]

So, it was working just fine.
Now, for some reason, it has stopped working.
When you go to create a new thread, and check that it is a "vbookie" event,
then save the thread, it merely saves the post/thread.
It does not prompt you for the betting info, nor does it give the thread a "$" icon.

Nothing has been changed since it was working yesterday.

It is still enabled, and all forum permissions are still correct.

Any ideas on what could be causing this, and/or how I can fix it ?

Thanks (again) from whomever can help.



Edit/Update: 20121030

So after much searching, I figured out that the hook for 3.6 must be the problem
(see here) https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1035092#post1035092

So I made that hook change, and it seems to work now.

But... now I have to figure out why it worked before, but then it didn't.
Maybe someone changed that hook back (reverted).

[blind-eddie]

I have 3.8.7, if anyone can help me with installing vBookie by Private Message it would be greatly appreciated!

Works fine with 3.8.7


Install as per readme. (newthread template edit below.)

Once that is complete, rebuild bitfields.
To do that, go to
http://yoursite.com/forum/admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

Edit Usergroup permissions
I would not allow all members the ability to create/edit bookie events, only admin usergroup.

I would recommend creating a new child forum of an existing forum to pick up permissions & Name it Bookie Bets (Or whatever). Remember the forum id, you will need it later.

Next replace plugin contents as per instructions of the following post.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1035092&postcount=946

============================================

In Template newthread use the following.

<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid] == xx">
<if condition="$show['vbookieevent']">

<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[post_a_vbookieevent]</legend>
<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
<div><label for="cb_postvbookieevent"><input type="checkbox" name="postvbookieevent" value="yes" id="cb_postvbookieevent" tabindex="1" $checked[postvbookieevent] />$vbphrase[yes_post_a_vbookieevent_thread]</label></div>
</div>

</fieldset>
</if></if>

Only difference from readme to this is I added conditionals to only allow bookie threads to be created in one forum.
Change the xx to the forum id of your newly created child forum. Click Save.

Also, if you use vbadvanced and find the navbar link throws up a 404 error when clicked, go to vBa CMPS/Default Settings/Global vBadvanced Settings, add vbookie.php to the Navbar Replacements Section.

Happy editing....

When each member posts, they don't get a +1 in their vCash department. Not sure if this add-on gives that option.

Hi, are there any known severe exploits for this plugin running on 3.8.2? It is showing version number 1.0.7.

My forum has been compromised a few times with .js and .php files being edited. My main suspect is ibProArcade (see this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2434523) but figured I would ask here anyways.

Hey guys... I don't know if anyone still reads this thread but I have a question. I've got this mod running on 3.8.7 and I have a "bookie" usergroup... for mods who wish to run the bookie events. How can I make it so any member of the "bookie" group can edit/add bookie lines to existing open events?

As it stands right now only the bookie event creator can add new lines to the event. However any member of the bookie usergroup can edit a line.

It would be great if any bookie usergroup member could add a new line to an open event.

Thanks and let me know!

I believe that can be set via usergroup permissions.

Can Edit other people's vBookie Events Yes No
Can Bet on vBookie Events Yes No

I have been using this for years on a few sites & I think that is all you have to do... but then again I have done so much to it that I can't remember all that I have done or added to it.

I don't see any changes I have done that would effect bookie usergroup from being able to edit or add new bookie events. I will pm you login details to my 3.8 test board later today so you can try there while in the bookie usergroup...

I sent you a pm Chase.
