You're welcome :)

Where does one define the start off amount each user gets? I want 100 not 500.

I would like to install this hack. Currently I am using vb 3.06 and will upgrade to vb3.07 this weekend. Does this hack work in vb3.07?

Yes it will.
In the file edits the "Find This" will be a bit different for almost every occasion but it's doable.

I'm using this wonderful hack to run a uCash sportsbook on my site. Problem is, with uCash thief enabled, people steal from users who get paid and aren't online.

Suggestions?

(It'd be nice to have an option to just pay into the bank account, which I think I'm going to hack myself)

A suggestion for the next version, while I'm here:

Point spreads. The lines move, and if you edit the bet, you lose the information of who bet at the previous lines.

Easily installed on 3.07 without any problems. However, the vbadvanced module is causing the home page to be blank....

I found out that the problem was being caused by $getbgrow = getrowcolor();

I commented it out and removed it at the last line, then was fine.

Just noticed another problem, the dollar image does not show up. Instead it is the poll image that displays on forumdisplay

I searched the thread for these but did not find anything concrete, so I'll ask it here. If I inadvertently missed them, my apologies. A couple of ideas for additions:

1] Pool bet: This is most commonly seen in the NCAA Tournament Brackets. Users can pay x amount of vCash/uCash/whatever to get in, and that amount is stored in a "pot" or "pool". At the end of the event, you can choose 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners and those guys get a certain percentage of the pot.

2] Push option: I saw this brought up, but did not see anything about having it implemented. Any progress?

Can someone please give me a pointer on where to look? The vbookie main page is displaying all, but first event, twice. They are only in database once. Obviously I must have some double code somewhere, but where?

Mystery solved! Although I emptied database after tests, I did not delete those posts. So vbookie was pulling same double old and new

vBookie was running perfect until I updated vBulletin from version 3.03 to 3.05??? I updated my vbArcade and its working fine, but vBookie doesn't work. I've tried reinstalling from scratch and get a white screen after 2 hours of work tried multiple times. I want my betting back. Any ideas or help is appreciated...

I'm not sure where I messed up installing the hack, but whenever I try to post a newthread, the WYSIWYG editor is totally messed up. I looked for a couple of hours and couldn't find any problems in the code. Anyone have any suggestions?
Here is the link to a new thread post: http://s87297490.onlinehome.us/maxru...newthread&f=11

Thanks for any help

wow... i fixed it. It was a problem with my image paths. I feel like an idiot.

I'm sorry to ask a stupid question but vBookie isn't played for real cash is it?

No :)

It uses virtual points, either its own built in system or it can use the points from the ushop hack.

okay...call me retarded, but......how do you add events?? i went to vbookie, but i dont see "add events anywhere"....

there we goo.......thank you! i didnt know what the hell..

Hey guys.

I am having trouble getting this hack running on my system.

I am running the latest version 1.0.4. It says that for this error ensure I am running version 1.0.3 or higher... which I am.

It all seems to work and it allows me to get to the page I need to to enter the bookie event, then when I click ok it comes up with the error below. If I click refresh it actually works and adds the event to my vBookie screen but it doesnt add the event for members to bet on.

Also, when I click on the vBookie screen I see the 5 vBookie events there and shows me that noone has better on them, of course they cant as they dont show up at the top of threads. Also when I scroll over 'Thread' in the vBookie screen it comes up with 'http://www.myafl.com/forum/showthread.php?t=' and as you can see it has no thread number it refers to.... so definitely an issue there somewhere.

REALLY desperate to get this working as the Football season starts tomorrow and I need it running for that.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Installed and working! Thanks for a great hack.

Tell me if I am right, This doesn't support betting between members. Just betting against the "Ucash" system? If I am correct do you have any future plans on making it where members could play against each other. For instance I run a sports card trading site (www.sccollectors.com/forums ) (shameless plug) and I have a forum set up so they can bet ucash. The problem that I see arising in the future is people not paying up so I will have to take the cash out myself. It would be great to somewhat automate this for users. Something like you make a title you place the odds and the maxium in bets you could receive. Then you let event occur. After event occurs you go to the post click some type of button that picks the winner. The other party envolved gets a pm sent to them to confirm it by going to same link. If both confirm bet is finalized and sent to winner. If one of two denys then a pm is sent to admin and he can make the decision himself. I would find something like this extremely useful. I think many other board owners would also.

Hi guys,
Looking for some help on getting the post icon for a vbookie event listed on the forum index to show up the same as it does when viewing the forum it's posted in. On the index page, it shows up as a poll icon, while on the forum it's posted in, it is the "$" sign. I've looked through all the templates, but didn't have much luck. I'm also a php ID-10-T :) so if you can point me in the correct direction, I'd very much appreciate it.

I have a problem with vBookie v1.0.4.

From the AdminCP i can't cahnge the General vBookie Settings. I set the five options to what i want, press update and let it go. I then get the message "vBookie Settings Saved Successfully." The window then refreses and goes back to the general settings page. This is where the rpoblem occurs. All the options have gone back to the default and are all set to no. When i check the forum none of the changes have taken place. So i can't open the vBookie to anyone. Not even those with permission.

Thanks for your time, its very much appreciated. Hope to hear from you soon with a solution. BTW the mod looks great on forums that it works on.

I have installed vBookie and have been using it.

Fantastic hack, probably the best hack actually! In fact, vBulletin should pay to license it for their next release.

My question.

I have been using it, but now it seems that in USERGROUPS the THREE options to enable vBookie voting etc for each group is not showing up. It shows up in MOST of my USERGROUPS radio button options/selections but does not in others. I have it selected correctly under the vBookie Area in my AdminCP so I have vBookie switched on, but cant see to see an area in the Registered Users group to make it active.

As I said, there was an area a week ago, now there is not... Any ideas? Would be very much appreciated. Alternatively, where in the dbase can I switch on vBookie betting for usergroup #2?

Thanks.

can anyone tell me how i can manually change a usergroups axs to vbookie from the mysql db? thnx

I have the vbookie panel in the CUSTOM USERGROUPS so I can edit to make people able to create/bet on events, but it doesnt show the panel in the DEFAULT USERGROUPS. So ive no way at all to make my default users have access to bet. At present, only the mods can bet and that looks bad.

So any idea why it's doing that? :(

I have a question about uninstallation process. I uninstalled this modifications by applying all template and file edits to backwards. Now is it save to drop vbookie tables from database ? I have some closed bets.

I am getting the following error message: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 3036

Any idea what I made wrong?

I've discovered a huge flaw in the way vBookie events work that allow someone to vote on any events at odds of his own choosing.

The way to do this, which i discovered by chance, is trivial: make a copy of the form - and edit it to change the odds, which are written in the webpage and not checked after submission.

I thought you should know, because someone wanting to exploit it could do so incredibly easily.

Is there any thoughts as to how to fix this??? Much thanks.

That's why I only let Mods add betting events. ;)

Yeah, me too.

But any USER do this, as long they can bet on the event...

How will this hack affect forum performance?

Yes this flaw has already been pointed out the fix for it has already been pointed out also

First time install and Im getting this database error with version 3.0.7 on install:

Anyone?

Just remove the "DEFAULT '1'". An Auto Increment column can not have a default value.

You lost me now M8, explain a bit more please?

in your vbookie_install.php script, find:and replace by:

Thanks M8, did the below but I received this error:

Search the install file for all instances of:

Thanks M8 that worked a treat :)

Continuing with the install.

Laters

Installed and working fine :)

Just found I have an error on the CMPS front page:

Fatal error: Unknown function: getrowcolor() in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/forums/modules/vbookie_vbadvanced.php on line 35

Anyone have any clues?

Where is the fix?

Yea, where is the fix?

And, has anyone modified gimme.php to work with vBookie, or does it need to be modified.
