vBookie for vBulletin 3.5

[VaaKo]

anyone please answer my question, this is very confusing!

[hitmanuk2k]

Strange bug...

After updating to the 3.5 version... everytime I post a new event, it is posting it within an OLD thread as well... For example it is putting the event in both the new thread, and an old thread which contained a previous event. Help ASAP much appriciated.

[mcasteel]

Just installed vBookie and followed the directions. Everything is showing up on the forum. Added permission for Admin Usergroup to create events, but when I go to the vBookie home, there is no create event option. Should it appear in the cascade window that also contains Open, close, settle and abandon or is it located somewhere else? If I did make a mistake in the template editing, which template do you think would cause this problem. Thanks.

[peterska2]

It is a check box when you are creating a new thread. It's down the bottom just above Stick and Close.

Check the box and continue as normal then it will take you to the bookie event setup page.

It's like submitting a poll really.

[Andreas]

@hitmanuk2k
Did you have a previous installation of vBookie?
If so, your Threads might still contain Event references - even if you droppen the tables before installing this Version.
So if you want a clean start, uninstall and then reinstall.

I found it. That was the last place I expected to find it. Thanks alot. I thought I had installed it incorrectly.

[msu2k]

Is there a way to display the top 10 or top 25 Richest People on the Vbookie Stats page? I've been able to find "LIMIT 5" for most of the rest of the stat groups on that page but not that one.

[Andreas]

It's in functions_bookiehack.php
Mental note: Settings

[cashpath]

ok I had vbookie installed before the upgrade.. Now I have installed this and whenever I make a vbookie event now it attaches itself to an old thread with a old vbookie event..

Its the same event but it shows up in two threads ... the new one and the old one..

Anyone know how to fix this I have 1 year old threads reappearing now.. (Ithink its started over vbookie event #2 and its attaching to the old vbookie event #2 thread.... something like that)

[Rabbitoh Warren]

Firstly I just want to say thanks to Andreas for porting this to vB 3.5. I'm very grateful for your efforts mate! For any sports related site it's a must have IMO, and my users were getting anxious not having it after just a few days while I upgraded my forum!

Anyway, we've just started using it again and I've noticed that after paying out an event the 'WIN!' text is not appearing next to the winning outcome(s). I've attached a pic. I'm not sure how to fix it so I'm hoping someone else will...

[hawksisdead]

ive set permissions but for some reason it still wont allow anyone to bet on events...i can post them, but once i try to bet, it says i dont have permission...

[Andreas]

Check your permissions again. Moste likely there is an error.

[Andreas]

@Rabbitoh Warren
It's just a missing phrase.
Loook up earlier posts in this Thread, i've posted a fix ... somewhere.

[hawksisdead]

permissions were fine, i just uninstalled and reinstalled, seems to work fine now...thanks

[ausnrl]

this has probably been posted but how do you add an event for vBookie?

[cashpath]

I just did my first board wide vbookie event (this weekends NFL games) after I settled the bets it didn't pay the MODS (paid everyone else....)

Any idea why?

[msu2k]

A fun option to add would be to give the "house" (basically the Administrator) all of the vCash that other users lose on their bets. To kind of rub it in a little more and that's actually how it works in Vegas anyway. :) Seems like it wouldn't be terribly difficult to do.

Great mod though, having fun with it.

Other features that might be nice would be parlays and moneylines.

[crazymeezer]

Thank you for this, installed and working great :)

I was just wondering if there would be a way to reset the amount everyone starts with? I would like to change it to say 100?

:)

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

does this have PHRASE support? I'd LOVE to install this if it does. ;) :P :D

[msu2k]

A user has apparently hacked into his vCash amount somehow and given himself tons of credits. Is there a known bug? How could this happen? And how can I clean this up? See this attached screenshot...

If i was you mate i would install the ucash addon thats what i use,
I dont use the vcash system but there must b a whole some where for a user to do this.

[Andreas]

@msu2k
I got no idea how this could happen. If you know hoe to reproduce it, please let me know so I can take a look at it.

[msu2k]

@msu2k

I still have no idea how it happened.

One other question while I'm here though, is it possible to display how much vCash the user has on the main vBookie page? Such as right underneath: "Welcome back, XXXXXXXXXX!
Go on, have a flutter. Be careful you don't lose your shirt!"

[mcasteel]

I have the most current version of vBookie installed on 3.5 Gold. Everything seemed to be working until it came for the payouts. The bets were settled on the day and time selected, but the winners didn't receive their payouts. Any idea of how I can correct this? I'm hoping it's just a setting I missed.

[lsgworldl]

cant find the following code

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

when I save the setting for who can post bets it dosnt save it reverts back to the settings it as on install

[Andreas]

The Template might be slightly different on 3.5.0/3.5.1

As for the permissions - make sure you follow the installation instructions 100%

[lsgworldl]

I did the code is in calander and needs to be edited there, not nav bar

[teamgofast]

i give up, when i set user group permission it reverts back to no after i hit save, when i do the same in the forum permision there is 2 vbookie yes/no sections and even then it reverts back to no. it also does not show up in the forums it suppose to, that could be do to permissions, im not sure. it looks normal on the nav bar and the vbookie home but is all messed up everywhere else. i have uninstalled and reinstalled and i cant find anything else to do?

[Andreas]

1) Which vBulletin Version do you use?
2) Do you get errors upon saving Usergroups?
3) Did you call admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields?

[mler]

I'm running into the same problems as teamgofast. I hit save on the usergroup, and they revert back to 'no'.

Using Version: 3.5.1

[Andreas]

Feel free to drop me a PM with ACP/FTP details and i'll take a look.

[Rickie3]

i was having the same issue,i went into adminCP and update counters all good now,wierd

[chairman miaow]

Had similar probs on vb3.5.1 - but when i set up a new usergroup (rather than updating existing ones) it worked perfectly !

[jayhawk785]

I tried to read through as much of these as possible to gauge how to make sure this install didn't affect my users' current cash amounts... if I install this, using ucash, will this try to write to my ucash table (which is modified) 500 cash at install??

should i comment this line out?
$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET vbookie_cash=500");

im guessing it wont matter since that table isn't the one I care about?

[jayhawk785]

nevermind, i should have read the instructions- you clearly lay it out there... :)

[jayhawk785]

Ok... so I installed... no MAJOR problems- but- I did run into this:

Lets say you are using uCash, but you modified it to use a different table user.user_bank or something like that... vBookie is not looking for that table, where uCash would be...

How many places do i need to change user.ucash?

[Andreas]

Only functions_vbookie.php

[stutefc]

I have minister who is a member on my site (a soccer site) and he is going mad about a betting thing beside his username, yet all the other members love the game. Is there any way of removing the vcash from below his avatar.

[Andreas]

Edit Template postbit/postbit_legacy or edit the plugin, or create a new plugin to unset it.

[jayhawk785]

Only functions_vbookie.php
Yep, it was working after i did that, just wanted to make sure i wasn't missing it anywhere else- thanks!

[harbormaster]

I have loaded everythng and did the install, and I cannot see where I post events.

I created a new user called bookmaster and made him a member of the bookmaker group that has permission to create events. Still no luck!!

[Rabbitoh Warren]

I have loaded everythng and did the install, and I cannot see where I post events.You need to start a new thread first, and make sure to tick the box to add a vbookie event down before you submit the new thread as there's no way to add a vbookie event to a thread afterwards.

[harbormaster]

I have no box like that.

I did both the postbit and postbit_legacy. Do you think this could have caused it?

I am running 3.5.1

I am dying to get this working!

[Rabbitoh Warren]

I'd say you need to either re-check all of your template edits and/or make sure you've edited the appropriate usergroups for permission to use vBookie.

[harbormaster]

The installation instructions say to EDIT the "POSTBIT" template in the "Show Thread Templates".


I do not have a postbit or "postbit_legacy" in my "Show Thread Templates"


I Do have these in the "postbit templates" though.

Is this a misprint in the installation instructions?

Or do I have a problem? :o

[Andreas]

Postbit Templates is correct; in older Versions of vBulletin it was Show Thread Templates.

[Rabbitoh Warren]

I did both the postbit and postbit_legacy. Do you think this could have caused it?No.

The installation instructions are quite clear. If the option to create a new vBookie event is not appearing when you try to create a new thread then you probably haven't done the first required template modification (newthread) properly.

[CAL]

Hi

I installed vbookie and its looking fine, but the problem I have is whenever I change userpermissions or forum permissions, they dont save. They revert back to what they originally were.

Can you help me??

[Andreas]

I expect you are getting an error when trying to save usergroups or forum permissions.

admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

[CAL]

SWEET!

That has fixed it!!

Thanks for the quick reply!

[harbormaster]

Postbit Templates is correct; in older Versions of vBulletin it was Show Thread Templates.

I am running 3.5.1. I wonder why I am running templates from older an older version?

How would I rectify this?

[Xtrato]

Im wondering, uShop hasnt been ported to 3.5.1 and i would really like it anyone wana port it and then get it to work with this nice mod?

[jayhawk785]

I'm seeing a limit of 25 bet per event? where is this set?

[Rabbitoh Warren]

Im wondering, uShop hasnt been ported to 3.5.1 and i would really like it anyone wana port it and then get it to work with this nice mod?Use the latest version of uCash (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=90855). vBookie works just fine with it.

[lsgworldl]

is this hack free to be modified in any way, and will the authour do it if I surgest changes?

[Andreas]

You can modify it as you like, but I won't give support for modified versions.
Also, feel free to suggest changes you would like to see.

[slank]

thanks - installs...with a clickety click

[G0F0RBR0KE]

Can I edit odds on my Admin Control Panel or do I need to change them on it's file it self? If so, where would this be located on the file it self?

[harbormaster]

I have given up on this hack because of lack of support and have taken it off my board.

I will wait till something alittle more polished is ready.

[Andreas]

[ ] Supported

So please, don't expect support.
Anyway, what's your problem with this Hack?

[DS MrSinister]

yes please add a point spread option and also that you can have over and unders
etc.

[hitmanuk2k]

A bit of a dumb moderator has settled an event as having no outcomes, instead of choosing to abandon it (so people get points back). Is there anyway of reversing this, so that it can be abandon and people get points back?

I did this once. Had to resort to manually adjusting users vCash back to the right amount. I've not since repeated the error for it being a pain in the backside...

[RetroDreams]

Has anyone made a vbAdvanced module for this yet?

[Detomah]

yes please add a point spread option and also that you can have over and unders
etc.

I have to say, I would also be really interested in seeing other options added.

I love this hack to bits, but it is a bit stiff in what you can do regarding betting on stuff.

I'd love to see it so that the odds are dynamic and actually change depending on how many people bet on certain options.

[johon]

Nice hack :up:

Any chance to get a german version :rolleyes: To translate the phrases wouldn't be the Problem, but there seems to be a lot of hardcoded text...

Where is button I can bet ?

[DS MrSinister]

THe problem i am having is on the settled bet page. I have 3 pages of settled bets. when i click on page 2 to view the page it takes me back to the main page of vbookie.

how would i make it do this

vbookie.php?type=SETTLED&selecttype=Gotype&page=2

and not this

vbookie.php?do=main&type=type

OK, I translated the phrases yesterday and it works great, just some minor things, where it seems that variables are used instead of phrases.

Just take a look at the screenshots...

It's not absolutley necessary, but if I can change this too, it would be great.

You need rebuild bitfields. To do that run from your admincp panel this link:

[lifesourcerec]

@lifesourcerec

Not for me. Tried 15 times so far and it makes a blank plugin and doesn't modify the database. I looked in the XML and then looked in phpMyAdmin and it didn't do anything to the database like it suppose to.

[rb290]

meaning that:

<if condition="$outcome[option_pays]=='Y'">
$vbphrase[win]
<else />
&nbsp;
</if>

doesnt run properly.

It does, just the Phrase is in the wrong Phrasegroup.

As a temporary solution, create a Phrase win in Phrasegroup Showthread

what do I do here ?

[AzHousePro]

If I had vBookie installed prior to upgrading to 3.5.1 (so there are already fields in the user database for vBucks), will installing this version kill the vBucks totals for all the users now?

Did that make sense?

Mike

[Andreas]

Then you are most likely doing smth. wrong.
Blank plugins are usually a symptom of trying to import a product xml as a plugin xml with pre-final versions of vBulletin 3.5

[lifesourcerec]

that sounds right, so how do i suppose to import it?

i go to phrase manager, then add new phrase, then choose Show Thread as phrase type and vBulletin as the Product, then what do I put for Varname and inside the Text?

[Mastar]

I've installed, I see the settings in the usergroup, have vb bookie on the forum but How do I add an event?? Don't see a setting for that!

[ConKien]

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.

Do you plan to make this mod integrate with the paid supscription teak it a lil. so we can use it to charge people with real money/product? Like create a different amount of subcription name

Bet 1: $5
Bet 2: $10
and so on

When a user try to bet, they have to buy a "supscription". The owner of the board get the small percentage of the bet!

Just a though, it will be benefit for the site owner to pay for the host :)

[rb290]

I've installed, I see the settings in the usergroup, have vb bookie on the forum but How do I add an event?? Don't see a setting for that!

Check your Template edits.

[zachlee]

I just got vbookie installed, and I can allready tell it will be a huge success for my site. One problem I can see happening, will be users losing all their credits.

Will there be a way in the future for a user to 'earn' vcash credits back? For example 1 post = 1 vcash credit.

Just an idea.

The varname you specified for this phrase is invalid. You may only include a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and _ (underscore).

any tips/suggestions? I've reinstalled a couple times.

[Andreas]

Check permissions and template edits is all i can say.

ok, guess it was something with the bitfields. I saved the permissions but it kept resetting them, so I rebuilt manually and it then saved the settings in the usergroup manager and it seems to be working now.

[m80]

quick question, i installed and it integrated fine.When i go to user group settings to enable to post events,edit events and bet on events there all defaulted to no.I select yes for each one and click update.It goes back to no for all.Any ideas?

[peterska2]

try rebiulding the bitfields by going to /admicp/index.php?do=buildbitfields on your site.

try this m8 admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

i have vB 3.5.2 and you cant use Rep Points anymore ?
i have to use vCash but i like the Rep Points

[rb290]

can you do something so it works perfect for 3.5.2 cause im real confused !
vbookie isnt working for me right now, and the file edits i did got overwritten when upgraded to 3.5.2, and when i try to edit them again i cant find what needs to be found cause the files are different now after the upgrade.

Oooops. Thanks, the permissions are holding now.

[sickstrings]

I'm still not seeing the option to create an event. I am the administrator and have my permissions set. Any ideas?

btw, I reset the bits, my permissions are set and aren't changing back anymore.

[Andreas]

Check your permissions.

[EasyTarget]

is there a way to reset everyone's points, like to begin from scratch again?

also is there a way to set the default event creation time zone for payouts to something other than my personal timezone? maybe the default forum timezone?

[rb290]

when it tells you to find something and add whatever in a file i cant cause 3.5.2 has different files then 3.5.0 so this hack isnt fully functionable with newer vbs

[cuphongle]

i installed and everything went good, but when i went to usergroup permission to change it, i select yes...but then when i go bak in again, it says no

can u tell me what's wrong

If you go back a few pages the answer is there.

I have the same problem as CAL i think? i select Administrators group, set all the Permissions to Yes, update the page but it all reverts back to No The same happens when i try to update the Registered Users also?
If it has to do with what you say here "admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields" could you please be a little more specific as to what i need to do.

If Help, the code to limit max amount for bets is in this post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=575929&postcount=389

I think I got it, but try at your own risk.

Part 1
AdminCP --> Languages & Phrases --> Phrase Manager --> Add New Phrase

Product: vBookie
Varname: vbookie_max_bet_exceeded
Text: Whoops! Looks like you bet more than 100 bucks. Try again but make sure you bet no more than 100 bucks.

Part 2
In vbookie.php

Find this
if ($total_stake > vbookie_get_user_cash())
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('vbookie_not_enoug h_cash')));
}

After the above, add the following
if ($total_stake > 100)
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('vbookie_max_bet_e xceeded')));
}
Save vbookie.php

That should do it!

contribution:

for those who wish to limit the maxi bet amount per item:

in vbookie.php search for:

foreach ($vbulletin->GPC['option'] AS $option_id => $stake)
{
if ($stake > 0)
{
$db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbookie_bets_placed (option_id, item_id, userid, bet_amount_placed, bet_odds_against, bet_odds_for, bet_private) VALUES ($option_id, $item_id, " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ", $stake, " . $odds_against["$option_id"] . ", " . $odds_for["$option_id"] . ", '$private')");
$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbookie_item_options SET option_n_bets_placed=option_n_bets_placed+1, option_amount_staked=option_amount_staked+$stake WHERE option_id=$option_id");
}
}

And change it for this code:

foreach ($vbulletin->GPC['option'] AS $option_id => $stake)
{
if ($stake > 0)
{
if ($stake > 10000)
{
$stake = 10000;
}
$db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbookie_bets_placed (option_id, item_id, userid, bet_amount_placed, bet_odds_against, bet_odds_for, bet_private) VALUES ($option_id, $item_id, " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ", $stake, " . $odds_against["$option_id"] . ", " . $odds_for["$option_id"] . ", '$private')");
$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbookie_item_options SET option_n_bets_placed=option_n_bets_placed+1, option_amount_staked=option_amount_staked+$stake WHERE option_id=$option_id");
}
}

Where you can change 10000 for desired value for max bet amount :)

[chairman miaow]

Nice one - cheers Acido !

[Trevor Hannant]

Has anyone looked at a reputation system hack/mod to go alongside this? People who get over a certain vCash amount could be upgraded to another group?

We're planning on having a few 'betting managers' who can start vBookie threads while certain usergroups will be able to actually bet. Should they excel themselves on their bets then I'd like them to automatically be upgraded to the manager group.

I've got this running on a private members board only. At present, I've got a conditional in there that lets only the Admins and those members see the vCash amount in the postbit but I can't seem to restrict that so that they only appear in the private board.

This is what I have at the moment:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6,8)">
<if condition="$vboptions['vbookiecashon']">
<br />vCash: $post[vbookie_cash]

Hello,

I installed the hack, everything seemed to go well, but I have a couple of silly questions:

1. After posted a betting event, I can't see anything in the thread, although I can find it via vBookie menu, is it normal? Also can't find where to bet.

2. Does it set limit on a member can bet? What will happen if someone bets more than the points he has?

Thanks!

I would really appreciate some help.

Am absolutely convinced I followed everything to the letter. I have checked each of my templates and they match the instructions.

BUT when i make a new thread/post - there is no option to create an event - I am assuming it should be in the drop down menu under 'add poll' - but I get nothing.

OK, now I am lost.

This installed and worked.

I created a bet event as test, i abandoned it and now it won't give me the option to create a new event - the tick box isn't there. any chance of someone able to guide me. Have logged under different ids but no joy.

All usergroups are set up for us all forum permissions are set up for us and the mail switch is set to on.

looks like a great feature and would love to use it regualarly.

Therfore, my VBookie link doesnt work and i cant find the ADmin Vbookie permissions under Usergroups.

shaynehammy: 3.5.3 is little bit different. Search "<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php?$session", then add the line in the same way.

Do I need to manually prune old events from the database or something?

Anyone got an idea about this error?

I have created events but when users try to bet on an item they get the "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator". However, if you go back and check the money has been placed?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Could an update be made select who can settle a bet?

This way anyone can make an event but someone with authority has to validate it.

HI
