View Full Version : ucash to vbcash AND make vbshop

Okay Ucash and Ushop seem to be dead..

Is there a coder that would be interesting in taking ucash 1.1.1 and turning it into something called vbcash and then making a vbshop for it similar to what ushop did?

A lot of people are sitting waiting for ushop with no announcement from its creator as to if it will ever be released...

A lot of those people would be willing to put up some sort of donation for this.. if this is a project that a good coder would be willing to do I beleive you would be well compensated for your work. The initial compensation would be pretty good I think.

If you are willing to donate post here... if you are willing to code it... post here.

I don't understand why nobody else has attempted to get one of the coders here to do this there are some real good coders here, and a lot of people that want this hack. Maybe asking like this is against the ROC?

I'm willing to donate..

Matts been busy with school and other projects, the area51.geekydesigns.com and the project itself is still alive.

I hear alot of "we want, we demand, we insist" but never " I'll help code, or I'll help develop, or what can I do to help".

Matt does things on his own schuedual as he is the only person working on the mass of the project. Unless templates need updating, I don't have anything to do with it.

I hear alot of "we want, we demand, we insist" but never " I'll help code, or I'll help develop, or what can I do to help".

That's a load of crap. There have been many people on several different sites trying to get information on the status of this project that have offered to pay money (including myself) to support it. If that's not offering help, then what the heck is it?

It's too bad that the developer isn't getting any enjoyment out of working on ushop anymore and won't be updating it...but that's his perrogative. I just don't understand why there was silence for so long. Somebody else could have taken it over a long time ago and had it done by now!

So who's gonna step up and be the hero? I can't code worth a damn, but I can help support it by donation.

When did you guys ever ask for help? As far as anyone knew you guys were in no need of coders and testers or any form of support. To the best of our knwoledge it was simply a large project taking time and that you guys were fully devoted to the project and it could be released at any given time.

You guys offer web hosting over there @ geekydesigns correct? Yet there were members here willing to be paid customers in order to have you guys release ucash and ushop. If you can't be bothered to help potenital paying customers over a hack, I see no reason why I would consider spending my money for your web hosting.

Ironic isn't it.. I post a simple thread saying that it seems that the project has been abandoned and asking to find a coder to take over for it... I try to find a programmer because obviously I don't have the knowledge and skill to do it myself, I also try to find a group of people who would co-op together to pay for the programmer if need be.

Then you fire back at me with what you posted.. and then .. here's the kicker... the original project developer posts on his site that he has abandoned the project.. thus making my original post fully valid.

So.. back to my original post... I am not a good enough programmer to do this I am only a neophyte, so I am attempting to find a programmer that would take the project over and to get people together who would compensate that programmer for his work.

I agree Zachery's posting came out of nowhere near the context.
Guess he or she was not following up on the recent threads...

Anyway, if you manage to recruit a programmer (reputable one, hopefully) on ucash/ushop, feel free to let us konw. Whoever the programmer is, he or she should be willing to continue to manage the script (which is hard part).
I'm sure there are lots of people (including me) that are willing to donate money on this project.

Very sad news, this has runied my day :( My only wish is that he had finished fixing the errors that plagued UCASH before he quite. That way we could have someone start a USHOP using the UCASH.

Sadly MANY users like myself bought Vbulletin because of this mod and Ushop and the stability of Vbulletin itself also :) but looks like that wont happen it could possibly hurt the community as a whole for the time being..

Hell VBulletin should make a cash and Store mod for retail if needed as EVERYONE uses and wants these two mods..

But I've noticed that the uCash/uShop issue is spread out over a couple of different threads...for organizational sake maybe an official "Save uShop 3.5.X" thread should be designated?

This is a good idea I think.

Also, if no experience programmer wants to take on the project, I say let's make it a PAID HACK. Money is the greatest motivator for quality work.

I'm sure 10-20 initial buyers/donators would create enough funds for someone to continue developement. Once the bugfree version is out, the script will be for sale, and the initial "investors" will not have to re-purchase.

I will take it on , but I refuse to make it paid. There is enough paid scripts out that honestly I do not think should be.

I plan to first make a shop that works with the current point system, then I will think about doing more.

Actually I think you should make a points system that actually works, UCASH has many holes and bugs in it like the ability to refresh threads and get points and many more that were pointed out. Any problems left in the points system would ruin a good shop. I would like to have a Stable points system with % points based on characters added into it..

This would be a faster mod to get up and running as there are a ton of SHop features users would want.

Just my two cents, Thanks for taking on this project and I suggest you start a thread in the 3.5 Modifications or PLugins for this..

I don't mean to sound greedy or anything after you've been nice enough to take on the position as the new creator... but what kinds of things do you think you could put into it? Sure, I'd be more than happy with the most basic features that were available in the store for 3.0, but think there'll be more? Like the PayPal thing that lets you buy/sell points and things like that.

I agree. the current ucash-based point system has many loopholes, which needs to be fixed first. if there is a beta version of new point system out, I'll be more than happy to test them out with my forum members.

Ucash does not work perfectly on your board as I stated there are many problems with it and loopholes for your members to get points they did not earn which can lead to a HUGE mess for admin..

This is why I feel someone else should than design a new CASH system and work with anyone doing the SHOP so they work together or make them all 1 mod..

I suppose the most concerned thing for now is to have the uShop for vb3.5, without that the uCash means nothing.

for the uCash to be used with v3arcade, there are many ppl think of that. but like I said, uShop first.

Ucash & Ushop is the most wanted hack, I believe..
There are lots of reasons for that but mostly it encourages community members to share/discuss their knowledge and ideas in any forums where it is installed. When members encouraged, that means more members,treads and post..Thats how forums get bigger..That is what every admin dream about.. :)

Since the key is encouraging members to participate with forum, Ucash & Ushop plays major role. Thats why so many people like me are willing to donate whatever they can because of we want to make our forums bigger and bigger..(3.0 has both but Google is more friendly with 3.5)

Zachery, first of all thank you for your support..
what I am wondering is, area51 testing site (http://area51.geekydesigns.com/) is running ushop & ucash on vb3.5 and it seems to be stable. Why wouldn't they even released beta version of the hack? As I said, we are willing to pay reasonable price..

I'll have to agree with turkforum. I'd be willing to pay a reasonable price as well for the beta you've got running on your testing site. Then you could give what you have to someone else to continue working on it (if that's what you plan on doing).

It's funny. A week ago there seemed to be coders EVERYWHERE wanting to help with this thing. Now there are very few/none.

is Matt too pissed off to even hand out the uShop he has running for 3.5?

As far as I know, the project was abandoned... So I am saying that if there will be compensation, I will take over it. If no - not my problem. :)

P.S. Zachery? He's not an author of the hack... :S

EDIT:
As an option, if someone starts porting the project, I could join and help (for free as long as I don't have to do too much).

no I want the current underdevelopment of uShop, because our users get used to those functions, and it is in alpha state which only waits for bugs fixed. Moreover to start from scratch is somewhat wasting time, cuz I'm taking many projects too +_+.

To whoever's making the new uStore: Please make it so we can give things such as glowing username a lifespan! It would give users much more incentive to earn more points if they had to renew their upgrades every month or so.

great community attitude there bud, I understand your time is worth something, but I bought Vbulletin because of it's community. No oh well pay me or screw you attitude. People have stated Clearly that they are willing to pool together something for pay.

Take on the project and put out a beta so people can get excited. Than mabey offer it for 10.00 or 5.00 for users etc.. Would be worth it for alot of users and you wouldnt be raping the community.

Just my take..

the items shop is something completely different from the ushop, and doesnt feature any of the things you could buy there.

You know its a shame the developer abandon this hack, it really was the most creative idea and very popular amongst users. Even my own members are still requesting for Ushop, because they have the money (ucash) but ofcourse nothing to spend it on! makes onethink whether its better to uninstall ucash...but I really dont want to do that, because my members loved having that feature in the forum, it made things fun in the forum...so If there is a release date for a new ushop please let us know, and if the coders want to charge for it.. then I dont have a problem with that..as long as they dont ask too much.

The other day I was walking down the street. This hot chick stops me. I mean this girl looked like she just stepped off the runway in Milan. In a beautiful British accent, she asks me, "Hey, you runnin that Ushop on your 3.5 board?" Somewhat taken aback, I replied, "wtf, no." Then she ran off giggling at me. Moral of the story: Ushop can prevent you from getting laid.

Great for many communities that this is ported/rewriten. In the meantime i've a few suggestions for Ushop. The first one is based on observation of the fun our members had with 'Titlewar', well known of the earlier versions.

The second one i like to see ported is the 'Gift' and with that members can give eachother an image that is displayed in the postbit(s). Now we were quite surprised to see that this gift addon whas very very popular on our board. It whas setup in a way members could upload a gift. This image whas displayed in a menu in the user cp after upload and choosable for the 'target' member.

Can I make several suggestions:-

Can everyone please stop asking for functionality before there is even an alpha. Obviously the aim is to put in all the old functionality (and probabally then some)
I think asking for features at this stage is a moot excercise.

Can someone (anyone... eg. Zachery) please update the community and confim that work is actually progressing... coding is happening. It's not 100% required, but a ETA would be nice.

I have looked over all the threads revolving around ucash and ushop and frankly it's easy to see why the original developer was so hacked off.
The original coder was completly taken for granted and 'expected' to deliver.... on top of that the constant demands... the whinging / moaning and the 'do it now' attitudes. "We have to have ushop... we need it... when are you gonna realease it?"... 3 sometimes 4 a day!

It is every developers perogative to charge for development and there is nothing wrong with that... community or not..... time is money. The whole point here is that the author was not charging a penny and you lot had him bang to rights as though you'd bought and paid for it.

I can see why the fun just drained away.... the community just lost their grip on reality and harrased the guy like a little schoolgirl would do her boyfriend after being dumped for the first time.

Obviously, I do not include everyone in those analogies (you know who you are) and I make no apologies for speaking my mind.

Now.... can we all sit tight and wait for some official word from Zachary on this before we go right ahead and take all the fun out of it (de-ja-vu??) for the newly appointed developer (if there is one) and land back in square one.

My two cents

[EDIT - Just saw Chris's sticky.... but the rest of my post applies]

The "original developer" posted that if he did n't have ushop done by the next day, everyone had permission to bash him in the face (or words to that effect)... this was way back in July I believe.

The next time he surfaced on here regarding this, he lashed out at the users... this was quite awhile after he said it would be released the next day.

People were excited, he fed the excitement and then didn't deliver. Hate to say it but he brought it on himself, noone else.
