The gift option looks very cool but base on screenshots I won't able to figure out how its functional fully xD I see "award", are you integrating the shop along with the award system too? lol If not, it will be hard to make users use the gift function if they don't get anything cool to display in their postbit or profile. Well, I will wait for it :)

In Point Market 1.0.3 there are 4 new Gift Items plus a Gift Category

Inside the Gift Category there are:

Predefined Gifts versus Custom Gifts
When using the Administrative Control Panel you can setup two defined groups. First are your standard selection of gifts. These can be applied to users who want to purchase a gift for themselves or for someone else. You can add new gifts besides the premade ones by selecting from the customized gift template group.

The second group is the Gift template group. The template group is naturally much bigger. Within it, you can set the standard names for a gift, a small description, and the icons. Gifts inside this group are used to create new gifts offered to users (Buy Gift for Self and For Others) AND gifts to be created. A major creation of 1.0.3 and a new gift concept is to allow users to create their own "special gifts" that are not just a standard gift, adding more prestige and allowing for them to earn money on the market since they can only purchase from what other people have made. The nice thing about having a template gift group to choose from is you can still control the images the users can select from.

Create a Gift
Based on the settings the Administrator has set, users will be able to create a gift for a given cost. The gift images will be selected from a predefined custom gift template in the Admin CP to allow for control over the content. Users will be able to select the Gift Name, Description, and Purchase Price. Users will have to pay a hefty fee to create a gift and their are minimum and maximum amounts imposed based off of the usergroup that the can charge. Once posted, the gifts will be viewable on the Gift Market.

Gift Market
Users can purchase access from the Market Features to gain access to the Gift Market. On here, all customized gifts created by other users (many of which are not offered as standard gifts) can be viewed here. The creator of the gift, gift name, purchase price, and description are viewable. You can not purchase custom gifts created by yourself to ensure no one is trying to cheat the system. When a user purchases a gift that money goes to the person who created the gift as a source of revenue. The other feature to the gift market is you can view any customized gifts you have created. This allows you to keep track of gifts that you have sold and gifts that are still on the market.

Give Gifts to Another User
Giving a gift to another user over yourself is the same except reason code is also displayed and when putting your mouse over a gift icon it will say who gave who the gift and why they did.

Yes, all gifts are viewable on the postbit and the memberinfo.

Additional changes to 1.0.3 include donation reason, a few bug and template fixes to work better for smaller resolution sizes, and percentage for stealing item based off of usergroup.

Hopefully that explains it a bit better as I've mentioned all week....1.0.3 is by far the most extensive changes I've done with this hack.

Perfecto Amigo, My users will be happy with this new feature :D Can't wait to upgrade it :)

If you need help testing this, I will sign onto AIM. Just let me know.

Holy crap! I'm glad I checked this forum today. I've been waiting for vbplaza to be updated for vB4. Now I don't have to!

edit: Is there a Paypal donation link that you'd like to provide?

What makes me laugh is how you need to pay to use vBplaza, and now this is out vBplaza shall eat it.

Nah, no paypal donations are needed. I just appreciate people clicking the "install" button and rating the product on what they think. I've been with vBulletin for 8 years and just now finally decided to release a hack so I'd like it to be a popular one.

I am now 98% done with the hack, I've had a few people test the changes and everything has been positive. I have just one last part for the admin cp to do so I can release it.

If anyone knows the answer to this question: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...33#post1958633

I'd very much appreciate the help. I need that question answered as it is all that is holding up 1.0.3 being released.

The Point Market 1.0.3 is now available for public release :) Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and input. Nearly every change I did in this release was based off of feedback or high demand for a particular item or feature.

Awesome work. :)

Is there anyway to delete a gift once its sent?

Currently, you can only disable it in the ACP. I figured the next release I will focus on the Admin CP features and information instead of the market script. It will be a little while for the next release though, I have student teaching to do this week :(
