OK an update blaine I re-installed an xml off older verion of the mod i had 1.01 and it works fine except for it still not showing points for full members :( all my staff and new members show theres fine but promoted members it does not show it for...

Okay, im working on fixing some issues, i currently know of the Duplicate post issue in 3.6.5 and am putting all efforts into fixing this.
Vhero, i will look at it, if you have told me everything there should be nothing wrong, but i will test out custom usergroups in a bit.

@ anyone trying to upgrade from nexas point system, Install icash, and disable the nexas point system (!DO NOT UNINSTALL IT!)
Go into the Icash options and change the money row to: nex_points_hand

Good luck, and know I am working hard at fixing the bugs.

Ah that's good to hear, I presume you also look at the bug I presented before (several pages ago).:)

Hmm, not sure, might have missed it. Point me to the post.

icash is given based on username, such as "donate.php?to=username", it has some disadvantages, and problems.

Is it possible to change it as "donate.php?to=userID", if so it would be much much easier.

yeah chikkoo.... hope u are right... but anyway it needs unique values... both id and name are unique... even if username is changed... no probs.. it will take the current user...

hope i am not wrong....

Blaine0002 all the best mate... :) Hope to see a iCASH for 3.6.5 soon... :)

Hmmz... in a remember notice you told me you knew I posted it but would look at it if you had more time.:confused:
Anyway, I had to search myselve.:)

There were several posts I mad, these were the ones with the bug and the suggesion in another one I just copy here.

The bug is in post #419.

Next to that, the problem I described to "all" in the same post, is also a question for you. If you reset the database so everybody has 0 cash, how can you rebuild again so users get the amounts of cash they earned by the number of posts/reply's they did since... well whatever. At this moment, when you reset cash, all is gone definitly.

And there was the following suggestion in another post: Can there be made an option to set the value for the amount of points per thread/reply and per character globally?
So you don't need to have to edit every forum by hand. Even better would be an option where you could select the forums by a selectsquare or by forumid or something.

Thanks blacktiger..

Did any other cash mods have this feature to recount posts? if they did which one, maybe i can study their code and get an idea where to start.

@ chickoo, i am using username because in order to get a username from an id, a query has to be run, in order to get a username from a username nothing has to be done :D

You mentioned disadvantages? what are some?

You're welcome. I presume this thanks points to the giving usergroup money bug.:)

Well to be honest, I wouldn't know because I never used any other cashmod.
However, there is a way the get the post counters out of the database. The forumsoftware itself does it to when resetting and recalculating postcounts, so maybe that points a bit in the right direction.

However... Users postcounts are also mentioned in the postbit, in your's it says as i write this reply: "Posts: 746", so maybe you can fetch the needed command form the postbit template. Maybe that's easier.
I'm no programmer or coder so I can't help you there any further.

it would be easy to do that, except for you wouldnt be able to tell if they are posts or topics.

Blaine, i know you already have alot of stuff to do to this mod, but could you look into the ability of having points being showed in the navbar? I know i have already asked this b4, and not trying to annoy in anyway, but this would be important to me, cause i do not want it to be in the postbit, i think it will be better in the navbar.

Ehmz... hmmz.. indeed you are correct, I didn't think about it that way and since you have seperate points for reply's and new threads this could become a problem.

However, another idea then, there is a hack called the "my posts/my threads" hack, this hack seems to know the way how to get the threads started by a user, and the posts the user made in other threads (or reply's in his own thread).
Maybe this hack could point to a solution for you to get the postcounts and threadcounts?

Hi mates.... :)

can i get any rough estimate reg the release of ICash for vB 3.6.5 ... hope its in a finishing stage...

I am studying bitfields. there should be a release in the not so far off future.

nice mate... hope to see icash for vb 3.6.5 very soon.... also can u find any solution for moving points from nex cash to iCash system.... :)

i explained earlier how it works :)

oh... thanks blaine... :) i didnt read tat line actualy...

well hope you fix the custom usergroups problem i am having i cant use ishop yet either its a tad annoying I know its not your fault though and your doing your best :)

I installed this on vB3.6.5 and so far it's working good. One quick question. Is there a way to remove the .00 (the decimal point and the 00 afterwords) So it just says Points: 5555 ect.?

Thanks in advance.

/me clicks install.

if i install this and icash can i make it so my members can buy templates ? like a download link?

Anything is possible, just need someone to code it is all, and that is like a very great idea for a shop item!

You can do it with a small edition of Number Format in XML File then reinstall the mod with Overwrite checked !

What do I have to edit in the XML file? I can't find what your talking about. What should I look for?

I am running a VB forum with vBux and vBplaza installed !!

Now I want to make the switch to Icash, is there any way I can save the present settings like User points and Import them back to ICash ?? I cant afford to lose present user point settings !!!

Thank you for the reply... but i am unable to find it.. !! :( can any one help me by telling the steppes to migrate to ICash from vBux ???

I have installed this mod to my forum and it seems to work well. A few questions though:

1) How or where can I adjust the number of points a user gets per post, per topic creation, per character of post? All I can adjust in the admin panel is "Ammount of points a user gets for signing up" and "Ammount of points a user gets for referring another user"

2) Is there any way to set a maximum cap of points per post? Like if someone writes up an extremely long article in one post, I don't want them to be able to get a million points for it. Thus the necessity for a cap.

3) Is there any way to integrate awarding points for everytime someone visit's a member's referral link?

4) What code would I need to add or edit in order to have Member's points show up within theor profile page?

5) Is there any way to reset all member's points?

6) If I delete a post, the member retains the points earned from that post. How do i get the mod to remove these points automatically when a post has been removed?

iHogwarts can u work with iCASH in 3.6.5.... great.. did u make any changes...

I'm pretty sure you adjust that in the Forum manager.

Can you have it so when you create new forums you don't have to enter the post and new thread amount each time.

Have the default entered.

I uninstalled it, now I keep getting vb database errors emailed to em saying:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.5:

Invalid SQL:
select * from vb_icash_donations WHERE `to`='Unregistered' order by time;

MySQL Error : Table 'compzorg_vbulletin.vb_icash_donations' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146
Date : Saturday, April 28th 2007 @ 01:24:39 PM
Script : http://www.computerforumz.org/donate.php?to=Mike%20O
Referrer :
IP Address : 66.249.72.80
Username : Unregistered
Classname : vb_database

1) when you donate iCash to "non-english" usernames, all the usernames are being displayed "???????" and the uniqueness goes. Therefore userID (membership no.) will be bestway to use.

2) In some cases, few people use "spaces" and special characters in their usernames (leading, trailing and middle ). Occassionally, it gives error messages.

3) Since username is displayed on the URL address bar, I suspect it will pave a way for future exploitations.

Are you talking about the iCash panel in the Admin Panel? All I see is the following:

http://www.valcaimages.com/4newbies_iCash.gif

Adjustment for "Points on registration" and "Points per referral"..

Any help :confused:

thanks for this, but I have a little problem. I already have a .php file titled donate.php which is assosiated with my paypal donation system, since this system also uses a donate.php file which is expected to go in the same directory I can`t use it. Can the php file not be renamed to icash.php or something? I know some code would have to be changed like but at least it would not want to overwrite my donate system. Also will this work with rpg inferno? I`m thinking of buying it.

Yep, forum manager

where do i choose how many points a certain usegroup gets when he posts?

EDIT:

nvm i got it

Question on replacing vbux/vbplaza with ICash.

Is it possible to import the settings from vbux to ICash so we can use the members points amount that they have now? I have searched but will go through the posts here again. If there is should iCash be installed first and then vbux/vbplaza removed?

Thanks in advance.

Total Newbie to Vbulletin here!

Need advice on mod in following instructions:

1. Upload files as is to forum directory

*does that mean upload them in the folder they are in named "Upload"?
or ?

2. Import Product - I am assuming it is referring to file Product_Icash.xml, correct?
Import it to where though? As a plugin? Product? Where do I import it to while I am in admincp?

Help Please - Greatly Appreciated!

Thanks,

Frank

1 - No. Click on the upload folder to open it and you will then see the files that need to be uploaded to your forum directory. So the admincp folder to your forum admincp folder, includes to your forum includes folder, and donate.php to your forum directory.

2 - Import product by going to your vb admincp > plugins and product > manage product > and go to bottom of prodicts that you may have installed all ready and click on add/import product, and follow the instructions.

is ICASH ready for vB 3.6.5... :)
