vBookie for vBulletin 3.5

[psybernaut]

All installed and uploaded as instructed however when in my Usergroup manager it will not allow me to change the options to Yes for posting events, and allowing to edit,etc it says updating but then sticks with them disabled.

Any ideas why or possible fix?
Try reading the last few posts...

[natralis]

Have uploaded the plugin again and still no effect, how do i rebuild bit fields?

[Rabbitoh Warren]

FFS! Anyone else sick and tired of the same question being asked by people either too lazy or too stupid to read the bloody thread? :angry:

[natralis]

Well sorry for asking for help thought this was meant to be a helpful community.

[psybernaut]

Well sorry for asking for help thought this was meant to be a helpful community.
natralis, please try searching the thread or reading through previous posts. This question has been answered countless times already.

[natralis]

Problem solved thanks to all those who helped. And will read more next time.

[psybernaut]

Minor fix.. when showing bet statistics (vbookie.php?do=stats), private bets don't show up correctly. ie. You see "$vbphrase[anon] won 1850 on ..." instead of "anon won 1850 on ...".

The fix is pretty simple. In vbookie.php, find:

$user = '<i>$vbphrase[anon]</i>';

Replace with

$user = $vbphrase['anon'];

ie. it's missing the single quotes around 'anon' in the vbphrase. I dropped the italic tags just to save messing around with single quotes within single quotes.

[majoreyeswater]

Love this mod, adds such value to my board.

Wondering if might be able to get a bit of help.

A member created an event in vBookie, then my some mistake, they deleted the thread before they had closed the event.

The event is now still listed in vBookie, and can't be closed or deleted.

Any help appreciated.

Sorry to be a pain, but if someone could tell me how to delete an entry in vbookie that is no longer eidtable or no longer has a thread attached to it I would appreciate it.

I know we created the problem ourselves, but will take all the help I can get....

I'm having problems integrating vBookie with eBux. I have either 1.0.6 or 1.0.7, can't remember which, but it lets me select ebux as an option. The problem is, it uses the wrong database field for the bank. It uses ebank, where the field in the user table is vbbank. How can I fix this?

[FROGGYJ]

ok I know this used to work fine with ebux, but it seems as though every since I upgraded ebux to the latest vbplaza I'm having issues now. I just wondering if there is something I have to update to reflect the changes or perhaps I have another problem.

[psybernaut]

Since eBux changed name to vbBux/vbPlaza you need to use the vbookie hooks provided by CMX in the vbBux/vbPlaza download (because the names of the database tables changed).

Look in the vbBux/vbPlaza archive, there's a directory named 'vbookie_integration'. The readme explains it all... just install the hooks provided by CMX and change the vbookie config to use the custom cash type.

[silky-smooth]

On the odd occasion, our admins go to edit an event and the options switch around.

For example, they'd be like this:

Team A: 12/99 F 0.12
Team B: 10/1 10.00

Just say I wanted to alter the odds a bit (make Team A 14/99), sometimes it will switch the order after you've edited it, so in this case, Team B would then list first (for example) and Team A is second - yet whatever bets laid don't move (so if you placed $50 on Team A, then they switched after an odds edit, it would have you down as $50 for Team B).

Hope this makes sense, and if it's a common problem that's been asked hundreds of times and resolved - this thread is 770-odd posts long, so forgive me for overseeing it.

Thanks

[Maxman1544]

Great mod. Thank you, this is really awesome.

Quick question and I didn't see this listed anywhere in this thread. Everything is working. When I add an event as an Admin it works fine. When I do it as a user (I checked the usergroup and forum rights) it doesn't work.

When you go to add the thread it says you don't have rights to access this page. Then the thread goes into the moderation queue.

What am I doing wrong?

[Maxman1544]

Thread moderation was on (by default) for the group I added.

I am dumb. But this is fixed and I am happy!!!

have u uninstalled estore??
think it might be a problem with left over stuff from ebux, or estore, after the change to vbplaza.....

id go thru your plugins and products mate...and checxk em

[Neal-UK]

not used estore or anything like that, fresh forum with a fresh install of vbplaza.

Also noticed that the points systems I can choose are:

vCash
uCash
uBux
Custom

I selected uBux but not that one.

[Neal-UK]

tried using Custom and it's working, just no one can bet on an event even though all permissions as set as letting them able to do so.

[rclark666]

When i try and enable posting vbookie events in the usergroup manager.......................it resets all my changes to the permissions to no when i update changes :surprised:

It might be me being stupid as normal but i can't see why it is doing this.........


Help Please????????

http://www.footiebanter.com/forum/vbookie.php

[innersanctum]

I have the same problem. After I enable it so that a usergroup can use vBookie, it resets them all to no. I am using the eBux setting, though I just upgraded to vbPlaza. Any ideas?

[innersanctum]

I figured it out. I had to import the vBookie integratration plugin that was included with vBux/vbPlaza.

EDIT: I spoke too soon. Even after I get everthing enabled, the newthread template still doesn't display the vBookie event option.

EDIT PART 2: Stupid forum permissions. *LOL*

[gwhooooey]

I figured it out. I had to import the vBookie integratration plugin that was included with vBux/vbPlaza.

How do you do that?.. I had a look but.. couldn't figure it out. :cross-eyed:

[ForeverForums]

To integrate this with vBookie:

1) Goto vBookie Options in the Admin CP. Select Custom for the Cash/Points System.

2) Import the PLUGIN --> plugin-vbookievbplaza.xml

[Devadam]

how can we limit the stakes on the betting ?

[Railen]

how can we limit the stakes on the betting ?
Open vbookie.php.

Find:
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");
}
}

Replace with:
foreach ($vbulletin->GPC['option'] AS $option_id => $stake)
{
if ($stake > 0)
{
if ($stake > 100){
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('vbookie_exceeded_ max_bet')));
}
$db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbookie_bets_placed (option_id, item_id, userid, bet_amount_placed, bet_odds_against, bet_odds_for, bet_private) VALUES ($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");
}
}

Open your vBulletin database and look at the phrase table.
Find the largest phraseid, then create a new row with a phraseID that's one larger than the largest one so far. The other values are as follows:
languageid : -1
varname : vbookie_exceeded_max_bet
text : You have exceeded the maximum amount of $100 per bet.
phrasetypeid : 1000
product : bookiehack

Obviously, change the $100 max to whatever you want your max to be.

[Railen]

Something that would be nice...

vBarcade adds a trophy icon next to your name in the postbit if you have a high score in one of the games. It'd be nice to have a dollarsign or something similar to signify the richest person (or 2, 3). Richest person gets 3 dollar signs, 2nd richest gets 2, 3rd richest gets 1.

Now, I'm great with PHP, but you can't just insert PHP into vBulletin and have it work. It refers to $post and $show variables, etc, which are defined in places I'm not completely sure. While it might make great sense, it only succeeds in making people new to making changes to plugins, and the vBulletin system in general, confused. For example, what I did above will be overwritten once an upgrade is done. While it's easy enough to add back in, the obvious way to fix this would be adding to the plugin itself.

While I'm sure I'm not the only person who wants a postbit icon, the rate at which changes are made makes me think they won't get done if I don't do them myself. Does anyone have experience in making a change like this? If so, could you give me a quick rundown of what would be needed to implement this change?

If the author would share what is needed, I'd be fully willing to work on getting this done, and possibly work on a vBa CMPS module as well. I just need a bit of direction here. I can then share my changes with the author, who could wrap it into his plugin. Win/win for everyone....

Thanks.

[mclark2112]

Something is wrong with this. The odds are very screwed up. I set up an event with 19 outcomes. I had to edit the event a couple of times... Never changing the outcomes or the odds, but the system has re orddered the outcomes, and when looking at the bets placed, some people have different odds for the same outcome, but I never changed the odds...

http://www.champcarfanatics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33178

[Railen]

I'm absolutely certain that the following is misleading:
Total Bets: 282
Total Staked: 19287
Total Won: 9499

This makes it look like the bookie has made nearly 10k off users.

I'm looking at the SQL queries and I'm certain that total bets and total staked are correct. However, the total won does not show RETURNED STAKES.

If there's 1 event with 1 bet, odds 1/1 and I win on a $100 bet, the stats should show:
Total Bets: 1
Total Staked: 100
Total Won: 200

However, they DON'T. They would actually show:
Total Bets: 1
Total Staked: 100
Total Won: 100

This makes it look like the bookie has broken even, when the bookie is really down $100.
I'm working on new SQL query to fix this.

[Railen]

Ok, fixed it.

In vbookie.php find:
while ($bit = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
// ATTN: Hardcoded HTML
$system_totals_bits .= "<b>$vbphrase[total_bets]:</b> $bit[bets]<br /><b>$vbphrase[vbookie_total_staked]:</b> $bit[stake]<br /><b>$vbphrase[total_won]:</b> $bit[won]<br />";
//exec_switch_bg();
//eval('$bits .= "' . fetch_template('vbookie_view_my_bet') . '";');
}

Replace with:
while ($bit = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
// ATTN: Hardcoded HTML
$amtWon = $bit[won];
$system_totals_bits .= "<b>$vbphrase[total_bets]:</b> $bit[bets]<br /><b>$vbphrase[vbookie_total_staked]:</b> $bit[stake]<br /><b>$vbphrase[total_won]:</b> $amtWon<br />";
//exec_switch_bg();
//eval('$bits .= "' . fetch_template('vbookie_view_my_bet') . '";');
}

$result = $db->query_read("SELECT SUM(item.bet_amount_placed) returnedStakes FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbookie_bets_placed AS item WHERE bet_amount_won != 0");
$newbit = $db->fetch_array($result);
// ATTN: Hardcoded HTML
$bookieProfitLoss = $amtWon - $newbit[returnedStakes];
$system_totals_bits .= "<b>Stakes returned:</b> $newbit[returnedStakes]<br /><b>Bookie profit/loss:</b> $bookieProfitLoss";

It uses hardcoded phrases, but whatever. I never understood why vBulletin puts all its phrases in a database anyway. (Anyone care to explain?)

[psybernaut]

It uses hardcoded phrases, but whatever. I never understood why vBulletin puts all its phrases in a database anyway. (Anyone care to explain?)
Isn't it to make it independent of language, and to make it easier for people to modify phrases if they don't have easy access to the server the site is hosted on?

EDIT: I spoke too soon. Even after I get everthing enabled, the newthread template still doesn't display the vBookie event option.

Can you clarify that last part ? I don't see anything about vbookie on the forum permissions page.

[Baudman]

natralis, please try searching the thread or reading through previous posts. This question has been answered countless times already.
Maybe the author could let people know about this and how to deal with it in the main post. That way people don't have to ask it so many times or search a thread with numerous pages to read.

I agree.. if the author isn't going to fix the problems, then an FAQ in the main post would help many people.

[Devadam]

there is a problem in my bookie...

when a bet closed and if it won then system making wrong calculation..
for instance odd 1.6 and i bet 20 on it..when it closed it must add 20+12=32 to the account......
but system add to account 20+32 instead of 32....system wrong over the bet amount...when bet won it add the bet amount 2 times...

what can i do? how can stop this wrong calculation...? i hope you know it...

This is correct. When you place a bet the program takes the wager immediately. So if you win the above bet you get your original 20 back plus the 1.6 which is 32. total payback is 52.

[OldVBuser90210]

i seem to be having a problem...and as i look through the different pages in this thread, I dont see anyone who's had the same.

I installed vbookie yesterday, everythign seemed to go well. I created a usergroup so only some of my mods could post events, edit, bet, etc

I also did this for admin, the problem is, no one is able to post events, the option simply isnt there, and when I go back to my usergroup permissions, all the vbookie options are set back to no, even tho I've clicked yes and saved. any ideas why this is happening? I am just using vcash btw.

edit i finally did find out how to fix this....i'll remember next time to search through threads from teh last post 1st :)

[jmarellano]

how can each user see how much money they have? it's probably listed in here somewhere, but there are way too many pages to go through.

i know as the admin i can check money by editting a user's options... but how can each member check their own?

[Wonko-The-Sane]

Here's the mod to make money bet on vbookie events go to the bookie, and to have any winnings paid out from the bookies money. If the bookie can't afford to pay the winnings, their cash is set to zero. If you're using vbbux, money will be taken from the bank if possible.

<Snip>

EDIT: Updated the vbbux hook to deduct money from the bookie's bank account if they don't have enough cash on hand.


brilliant, thank you very very much, that is exactly what I was looking for.

[manutdvn]

Hello,

I am using vbplaza v1.5.5. How to change my vCash? It is just only 500 in default. Even I post a new topic or reply, my vCash doesnot change. I mean, my money uses to bet just 500. How to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

[manutdvn]

I fixed the problem.

[slim cutty]

> Has anyone else had this proble?
Everyone has because the install code is "broken".
Just import the XML again and select override

just a reminder for those who do not want to read through 50 pages to get to the source of the usergroup yes/no problem...

I *think* (not 100% sure) the event start and end times also change, so even though it shows the wrong time zone you end up with event actually running at the same time you originally configured it for.

That happens to me sometimes when I go to edit it.. NO idea why.. Sometimes it happens and sometimes not.. However, when it happens, it also changes the time so it isnt WRONG.. For example... I may have an event closing 10pm eastern.. But when I go to edit it, it says 7pm Pacific.. Or whatever.. Its a little annoying because one of my mods didnt notice the time zone once and just changed the time while editing something.. It allowed the users to bet for a few hours after the event ended :D

I'm not sure it can be done.. well, not easily anyway. I've got similar orphaned events hanging around on my site. I think someone may have posted an SQL query to clean them up, but I've never tried it myself.

If you've got PHPMyAdmin, or something similar installed, you could remove them from the database manually.

Hmmm. when i change permisions in forum permisions or user group permisions, it sets it right back to no after i click yes then save it. any ideas?

You need to rebuild bitfields. Search this thread for the answer.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can do some alterations for me to this mod.

Where it says this in the set up:
Event Group:
A general field that this event falls in to, e.g. 'Football', 'World Cup 2006' etc

And this:

Event Title:
The description of the thing that users will bet on, e.g. 'England to beat France', 'Button to be GP World Champion', '04/05 Premiership Winners' etc.

Is it possible to alter it so i can have a few options in a drop down menu. :)

Of course i would willingly donate to who could or would take the time to do this.


Thanks

Wow very nice hack, thanks. Also I second teepeg's suggestion. I think it would be nice to have a dropdown box there.

Suggestion:

@ allow the members to start a BET, and he/she earn or lose money depends on the results. meaning that the one who starts the Bet is the Banker.

The Bitfield XML must be uploaded before the Product XML is being imported - as stated in the documentation.
If you are not sure if you did that:

Check if the File is present and call admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

That should fix the Problem.

in the functions_vbookie.php change the 8 instances of "vbookie_cash" to "reputation" upload the file again to replace the current then hide the Vbcash keep cash system as the Vcash, and it shud work with reputation.

Does for me!

also when editing usergroups and it goes back to "no" you needa switch off the vbookie in the "vbulletin options > vbookie settings" and then edit usergroups then switch back on and that should work.

what do you ment with re run im german sorry my english is not the best.

[frandy]

Um, install the XML again and set over-right permitions to yes. Then try and edit the usergroups. If that doesnt work I got a feeling that something else has been done wrong. Im not an expert with this hack so im not 100% sure. But re-installing the xml should fix any errors

[cmbehan]

I love this hack, and our users love it as well.

On our site, we have different usergroups, and when we rolled vbookie out I assigned different levels of points to the usergroups.
I made a php file with the following code with the intention of bumping people back up to their starting levels once a month.


$rs = mysql_query('UPDATE vb_user SET vbookie_cash = (500) WHERE vbookie_cash < (500)');
$rs = mysql_query('UPDATE vb_user SET vbookie_cash = (750) WHERE usergroupid=(x) AND vbookie_cash < (750)');
$rs = mysql_query('UPDATE vb_user SET vbookie_cash = (1000) WHERE usergroupid=(y) AND vbookie_cash < (1000)');
$rs = mysql_query('UPDATE vb_user SET vbookie_cash = (1250) WHERE usergroupid=(q) AND vbookie_cash < (1250)');
$rs = mysql_query('UPDATE vb_user SET vbookie_cash = (1500) WHERE usergroupid=(z) AND vbookie_cash < (1500)');

It works well, and I made a cron job to run it, but we've decided to change our system to just give everyone an "allowance" of 500 vcash per month.

I know I've seen the SQL query to simply add (x) vcash to each user somewhere here, but I can't find it now.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

my vbookie stopped working now that we have moved out of ebux and into vbplaza. is there a fix for me to use my new vbplaza points with my vbookie? if so what do i do?

I think something like this should work:

$rs = mysql_query('UPDATE vb_user SET vbookie_cash = vbookie_cash + 500');

I haven't tried it, so I'd recommend you test it first before making a permanent change ;)

You need to install the vbookie hooks provided with vbplaza, then switch vbookie over to a custom cash type.

[AM Guvnor]

Hi Guys

Installed and displaying fine etc etc however when I go to switch on the permissions to yes for all (i.e for me to be bookmaker) when I save it defaults to no everytime and will not save as 'yes'

Any ideas? Ahhhh! LOL

In the vbplaza zip file (not the vbookie download, the vbplaza one), there's a directory called 'vbookie integration'. That contains the hooks you need and a readme explaining how to install it.

Hey

I have installed this and it works great

However my Vcash when members hit 0 drops in line with another icon I have for usergroups. How do I prevent this from happening

See here on username Lady Chatterlys post her Vcash has hit Zero (she isnt so good at betting) and the supporters logo has now moved from below the Vcash sign to beside it. This happened as soon as it dropped from three figures...

http://www.alphamen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=315

Any ideas all??

[Rabbitoh Warren]

Try adding a <br /> in the postbit_legacy template right after where the vcash appears.

[plateau]

if the vbookie can enable a Banker to start a bet, and this banker win or lose money from the bet.(just like the real world), that will be GREAT!

[Watson]

Just a quick question (did search the thread)

How do I announce what the winner was on the events? and also, if I delete some of the options that are on it, will this still remove the people's cash from their vcash, cause the bet was placed?

I ask this because we are betting on big brother, and the odds will be changing alot, and we will be removing people from the betting as they are evicted (sad I know lol)

[Watson]

How do I declare 2 winners, because we had bets on the football, and some of them were winners on the game, but also the Half Time Full Time scores were bet on too, so even tho it was only 1 winner, there was more than 1 bet that won

[rob30UK]

cmwg, re-import the xml product.

[sambah]

This installs correctly, but when trying to set admin permissions for it, it refuses to save them.

It says "saved successfully" and then reverts to "no" for all 3 permissions

Does anybody have any idea what the settings in vbookie_settings in the "user" table should be to set admin permissions up manually?

[Watson]

It done that for me too sam, but then when I done it again, after setting the forum permissions, it seemed to be fine

[Wayne2k1.com]

Installed, works perfectly.
Thanks, man!

[Zowners]

This hack is pretty damn good :D

One question:

This hack works fine, but the members on my site are using "vcash" to bet with, not the "vbBux" points they already have accumulated on the site. When I change the "Cash/Points System" option to ebux, the whole betting system goes faulty.

So, is it possible to use the vbBux points to bet with? If it's not possible, could this be integrated into the next update?

Cheers

[Foxsake]

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.
Agreed. This in addition to point spreads would be a great option.

Also, the ability to set a maximum bet amount (Either by bet or global) would be a nice addition.

Here's the mod to make money bet on vbookie events go to the bookie, and to have any winnings paid out from the bookies money. If the bookie can't afford to pay the winnings, their cash is set to zero. If you're using vbbux, money will be taken from the bank if possible.

Yep, old bets still get the old odds. People get the odds that were there when they placed a bet. So if you change the odds, new bets will get the new odds, but bets that have already been laid get the odds that they originally bet against.

[tienkhom]

I have a question, who pays for the winner ? the thread owner or the system ?

[mclark2112]

Something is wrong with this. The odds are very screwed up. I set up an event with 19 outcomes. I had to edit the event a couple of times... Never changing the outcomes or the odds, but the system has re orddered the outcomes, and when looking at the bets placed, some people have different odds for the same outcome, but I never changed the odds...

I have tried this hack with vb3.6 beta3 but after checking:'Yes, post a vBookie Event with this thread' it ignores the event page completely and it just posts the thread as normal. So my answer is no, vBookie will not work with 3.6 UNLESS I am doing something wrong.

Edit: The strange thing is, even if you click on the post a vBookie Event and you preview your post, the box becomes un-checked. It's almost like the hack is ignored or could be a cookie but I've already cleared cache, cookies and such and that wasn't the problem.

ok try this. go to manage products and disable the vbookie. then enable it.

then go to your usergroup permissions and set the three bookie options to yes for admin. now save. now go back and see if those three options were actually saved.

if they were, then go to the forum permissions and edit for the bookie forum. go to admin and edit. and set the three bookie options to yes and save. then go back and see if they actually did save.

if yes, thry starting a thread in your bookie forum, towards the bottom of the page you should have an option to create an event.

[patrickstar]

I managed to fix it....

in the functions_vbookie.php change the 8 instances of "vbookie_cash" to "reputation" upload the file again to replace the current then hide the Vbcash keep cash system as the Vcash, and it shud work with reputation.

gotcha, good idea.

using the phrase manager i changed my reputation to karma, but i should still change vbookie_cash to reputation right?

because i changed vbookie_cash to reputation, and it displays the amount of vcash equal to the amount of karma i have but it did not deduct from the karma when i betted n an event.

is that the place you make changes for this to work with reputation?

When i do this it brings me to the admin page. I enter my login details and it says welcome showing that I am signed in and then It looks to go to the admin page but instead I get the following error:


Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 3163


Anyone have any ideas? The person who installed it for me has not been answering my email, but he may just not have been on. I'd like to figure out what the problem is.

Thanks

OK, I have a serious problem. I set the user permissions on any usergroup to all them to use this and it never saves. It continually sets it to "NO".

Help!!

[Rat1972]

install vbookie again. (Don't uninstall)

- Install vbookie
- Install vbookie (set upgrade on yes) and the problem is solved

[Holidazed]

OK, that seemed to have solved that problem. Thank you.

Question: How do you add an event? I goto the vBookie section of my site and do not see any option to add anything. I am admin and I set that usergroup to be able to do it all.

Do I add events only through posting of messages or can it be done through a seperate interface?

Did you put the code in your template files?

And to set a event you must give the forum/section the good premissions.

Go to your admin menu --> Forum and moderators ---> Change premissions for the forum you want to play vbookie. And give the good premission to all the usergroups on your forum.

Hope this will solve your problem

Best regards

[Holidazed]

OK, it seems I can events through a post, but I see nothing at all in the individual forum properties that have anything to do with vBookie. I see plenty for vbPlaza and vBux but nothing at all for vBookie. Granted, I saw the options in the individual usergroups and have set them appropriately, but I would love to limit vBookie event to only one of my hundreds of forums.

Ideas?

[Stanesq]

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!

FOR SOME REASON, It cant find the phrase vbookie_max_bet_exceeded

any ideas why?

[patrickstar]

if you are using vcash, does the members betting, bet against the house or bet against the event creator?

vBookie & 3.6

The posting of vbookie events in 3.6 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 ;

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));
}

Note: I'm not actually using vbookie atm so I can't comment on any other problems.

Hi

Installed vBookie no problem, even added the vCash balance to the postbit.

Now I can't get teh vCash balance to work in the Navbar underneath the Private Messages I want it to say vCash: balance

I tried adding this code:<if condition="$vboptions['vbookiecashon']">
<br />$vbphrase[vbookie_vcash]: $post[vbookie_cash]
</if>

It displays the vCash: but no value.....

Anyone out there that can help?

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

BELOW that ADD
--------------------------------------------------
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbookie.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[vbookie]</a></td>

Cannot find it, can i ask for a bit of help, im a bit of a newbie, but i thought i was nearly there.

Cheers in advance.

ChrisTake a look at your navbar code and see if you can find the codes for your buttons. Take a look at that code and edit the vbookie code to be the same. Or post you template so we can see the code better and help you.

[dhh]

easy wayi found to do things like that, that u cant find go to searh in templates and searh for [calendar] in the style u want to mod it will find the right template then and the bottom when the template comes up u will see the ky word that u put in hit find and u will see it the of vets know all about this but when i found this it helped me alot installing stuff

[Carnageperform]

Ok, i found it, and uploaded as it says, but i get the following error:

PHP Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'D:\webspace\carnage\Inetpub\wwwroot\members\forum/includes/functions_vbookie.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in D:\webspace\carnage\Inetpub\wwwroot\members\forum\ vbookie.php on line 74

The VBookie logo now comes up in the forum however. This error is received when clicking on the VBookie logo

[Carnageperform]

This is our forum:
http://www.carnageperformance.com/members/forum/index.php

If you click on VBookie icon you will see the error occurring

[ubblite]

This is our forum:
http://www.carnageperformance.com/members/forum/index.php

Since that is the link to your forumhome page, your vBookie link should be:
http://www.carnageperformance.com/members/forum/vbookie.php
Of course, you'll have to enter it that way in your navbar as well, but try the link I gave you first to make sure it's installed correctly.

edit: Regardless if you entered your Navbar code correctly or not, you should be able to get to vBookie by the link I gave you & now I discovered the error as you mentioned above. I'd re-upload all the vBookie files again with overwrite. After that re-install the XML with overwrite on. Any other edits you can try after, just see if you can get to your vBookie page first.

[Carnageperform]

Ok thanks mate, i now have VBookie installed. Hooray!!!

However, i now cant seem to post VBookie events and my VCash hasnt appeared. Never ending story

[cheech4487]

no its on hold till the code is fixed.

We use the vBookie so much I would have "skipped" the upgrade had I realised it wasn't compatible with the new version. :surprised:

It definately does not work, and there has been no word, one way or another as to whether it will be upgraded to 3.6.0 or not.

I know this sounds really easy but how do I set it so people can bet? I'm the admin and i can't even place bets (even though I can edit them).

I set "Can place Bets" to "Yes" in the Forum Permission and "Usergroup Permission;" yet I still can't place bets as the admin or a regular user.

I'm having the same problem after changing the code to make it work for 3.6.0

Cant get this working with vbbux because it only allows "ebux" (the former name of vbbux)..........

[daticus]

go to the functions_vbookie.php file, open it and edit all the SQL queries that say

case 'ebux':
$q = "SELECT username, ebux AS cash FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user ORDER BY cash DESC LIMIT 5";
break;


replace the "ebux" part with "vbbux" like this:

case 'ebux':
$q = "SELECT username, vbbux AS cash FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user ORDER BY cash DESC LIMIT 5";
break;

There's like 4 to 6 entries like that, don't replace "case 'ebux'" though, leave that alone.


But, i can't get it to work 100%, since it won't let anyone place a bet, even after you set your usergroup to be able to bet.

Also, don't expect much help around here, people only want $$$ for support (its a damn shame). I presonally think jelsoft should ban anyone wanting payment for support.

Cool, thanks for the quick response. I try it tommorrow, too tired for that right now.

[movielist]

FYI:

After making the vBookie & 3.6 by Paul M changes above, things seem to be working.
New vbookie event was placed and is accepting bets (from vbBux).
Haven't tried cashing out yet though.

[dxguru]

Do we also need to change $vbulletin->userinfo['ebux']; to $vbulletin->userinfo['vbbux']; (in several places) ?

[dxguru]

Even better ... the code should be changed to userinfo[$vbulletin->options['vbbux_pointsfield']] instead of hardcoding the word 'vbbux'

[movielist]

I didn't have to make that change.
I had vbookie installed and working before upgrading to vb 3.6... not sure if that's a factor or not.

And I just cashed out my test thread and it worked fine.

[matt_norris]

Does anyone know if a leaderboard addon was ever done for vBookie? I want to display the top ten winners on our forum and also display users vCash balance under their Private Mesages stats when they are logged in.

Anyone know if this has ever been done?

[pdcimc1]

I am having some trouble with my vBookie. I use the bookie for my members to bet on actual horse races. Sometimes horses get scratched from the race and they dont run. Is there anyway that I can refund the members who bet on the scratched horse? I tried going in and changing the odds to 1/1 and then settling the event, but it still paid out at the original odds. Any reason why this doesnt work?

[wrestlingaudio]

I just installed the mod. It installed ok but when I try to edit the following options in my usergroup admin page, the updates do not save.

Can Post vBookie Events (default is "NO" for all usergroups)
Can Edit other people's vBookie Events (default is "NO" for all usergroups)
Can Bet on vBookie Events (default is "NO" for all usergroups)

Because the options are defaulted as "NO" and I can not seem to change this, the whole mod is useless.

The other admin menu works ok, though.

Any Ideas?
