What you do need to do is to remove the code that looks for the richest users if you have a large site - that is the only query that scans the whole user table - for a large forum that is not good. :)

There may have been more queries but I can't remember now.

Because I did that because i wasnt sure if there was a better way.

uShop: Feature List

• Currently 18 actions are available - Donate, Change Custom Title, Change Other User's Custom Title, Change Username, Glowing Username, Colored Username, Bold Username, Italicized Username, Admin Donate, Bank, Secondary Usergroup, Sticky Thread, Thief!, Buy Forum Password, Buy Forum Access, Deny Forum Access, Give Forum Access, Arcade Pass (If Arcade Pass Hack v3 is installed.)
• Quantity System
• Quantity Refill (Set a number of seconds between refills and quantity is automatically refilled when accessing the main store script.)
• Richest x Users
• Top x Most Sold Actions
• Purchase History
• Senoir Discount (based on age - if they are older than x years, they get a discount (also setable))
• Loyal Member Discount (based on days registered - if they have been registered for x days, they get a discount (also setable))
• Usergroup Discount (give your staff a price cut!)
• Shortname (only setable while in debug mode - can be used in links (also used in some functions))
• Setable Action Description
• Setable Display Order
• Setable Cost
• Setable Quantity and Quantity Refill (when/if quantities are refilled)
• Setable Allowed Usergroups Via Checkboxes (usergroups that are not allowed do not see the action at all and cannot access it)
• Setable Denied Usergroups Via Checkboxes (users that are a member of this usergroup cannot use the action)
• Setable Image Location (if not location is specified, no image is shown)
• Show In Store (if it is set to no, you will not see the action in the store, but can still access it via direct link)
• Setable Active Status (if it isn't active, it goes *poof* from the store and is not accessable until it is set active again)
• Update Display Order, Cost, Tax, Sold, Quantity Refill, and Quantity en masse.
• You can duplicate the "Secondary Usergroup" action and define which usergroups are joinable for each action by duplicating the action file and setting the joinable groups at the top (so you can allow different usergroups to be joined for different prices)
• Secondary Usergroup is an extremely powerful action - you can give people access to forums, higher PM quotas, the ability to see invisible users, access to free custom title changing, etc.
• Action Specific Variables System - specific variblables set per action. You can add and edit these variables in debug mode - or you can just change the value while editing an action as if it were any other variable.
• Copy an action (useful for actions like secondary usergroup and those dealing with forums if you want each forum/usergroup to have a different cost/quantity/etc)
• Very few queries! (On the main page, there are 6 queries - 5 from vB3 and 1 from the store - and that's just for the richest users!)

I think thats the features :)

If you feel your not able to install this your self please feel free to drop me a pm and we can make arrangments

If you would like to donate to us please pm us and again we can make arragnments :)

the beta is only the name of the release, we have tested the hack rather well,

There is a HTL version and a self installing php version.


Dont forget to click install! :D



Quick instructions,



upload all files


HTL users should know what to do


For anyone NOT using the HTL,
dont upload the HTLFiles folder
run admincp/ushop_install.php
then follow file_template.html :)

EDIT: The HTL install has now been burried deeper into the zip, and it is recommended that you do not install this hack using it. It is just as easy to use the standalone installer, so use it!

Make the shop appear in the WOL https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=131



EDIT 04/12/04 6:28 EDT: If you downloaded it before now, redownload it. For those who have installed it before now, replace all instances of uttstore.php with ushop.php in the postbit and postbit_legacy templates.




EDIT (Matthew): FOR THOSE WHO WANT SUPPORT, SPECIFY THIS INFORMATION OR BE IGNORED:

Did you run the standalone or HTL installer?
What is the exact error you recieve?
Where does the supposed error happen?
What vB version are you running?


EDIT 04/12/04 8:50 EDT: I updated the zip to remove an unneeded postbit edit. It is highly recommended that everyone who installed it or downloaded it before now needs to do this edit.


Edit template postbit: Find: Replace With: If you are using vB3 RC4 or above, replace style="font-size:14pt" with class="bigusername" in those edits.


IF YOU ARE HAVING FOREACH ERRORS IN GLOBAL.PHP OR NO ACTION ERRORS:
First, remove the second global.php edit. Then run ushop.php?rebuildds=1. Then put the edit back in adns ee if that works. If it doesn't work, answer the questions above, if it does, post saying that and let me know in the post if you used the HTL or standalone installer. This will help me diagnose the problem as to whether it is a user error or an error on one of the installers. Thank you.


IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANY POINTS:
Edit a forum and set all of the store settings to '1' and save.

EDIT 04/12/04 11:42 PM: Fixed a few table prefix issues.

EDIT: 04/13/04 9:26 EDT: Zip updated to get rid of a few references to uttstore.php. If you have already installed, either run the part of the installer that updates the templates or run a template find/replace for all instajnces of uttstore.php to be changed to ushop.php.

EDIT 04/13/04 10:16 EDT: Fixed the installer.

EDIT: 04/13/04 4:27 PM EDT: A few edits were missed in the HTML file for the standalone install. If you have installed before now, follow the instructions in this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=386

I'm running vb 3.0.3(I know, it doesn't say it works for it, but I tried it) and everything looks good, except no points are being given. I reset all the values to 1 in the forums, but no luck. Any help?
