<font color="Lime">Installed</font> fine.....looking forward to playing w/ this.

So this is similar to Petz I guess.....Nice work though.Must have been hard :)

Well, they don't actually do anything except sit in your profile and look cute (or grotesque, if either somebody was fooling around when they made it or you have that sort of taste) and then occasionally turn into an older version of themselves - they don't need care, get hungry, battle each other or anything. (That is in fact the reason I didn't want to refer to it as a pets hack, since it could make users expect something more than it is.)

At the moment at least, there is no such feature, but I think most people would end up getting bored of having an adoptable staying completely static in their profiles after growing to its final stage. They're bound to end up releasing it and adopting something new sooner or later...

They look like whatever the adoptable's creator has specified - when you make one, you have to enter an image URL for each stage. There are no adoptables that actually come with it, so you'll just need those with creation permissions to go wild.

What trouble are you having exactly? I have a bit of a history of managing to mess something up with either the installation instructions or the product XML, so the problem might be on my end. (I did install it on a test forum using the files I attached and following the steps I put in the post and it seemed to work fine, but just in case.)

Well, in the navbar template, you can find this:

That's the link to the User CP. If you want the adoption center link right after that, just put the code right below that bit. However, what should be already below the user CP link is this:

And that's obviously the FAQ link, so if you want the adoption center link after that, then put it below there. You should be able to figure out the other locations from that...

Heh, thanks. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, actually - everything turned out to be surprisingly straightforward even for me as a fairly inexperienced coder. But it was a lot of code just to type. I think I was working on this thing pretty much for two or three days straight with eating/sleeping breaks but not much else... I really have too much time on my hands.

Looks awesome, thanks! :)

Just an idea.. If there were seveal pets or live things to choose from for example

a baby to adult male/female
a tatpole to from
a fish egg to fish

and so on

Please, I need a "gif?s" of creatures :)

the $useradoptables code isn't working. Please assist.

Cute.

How difficult would it be to change the "growth" to be dependant on something other than post count? For example, Reputation or cash or something entirely new?

I'll have other questions, but that's the primary one for the moment.

Thanks for creating it.

Also getting this error in who's online
Error goes away if adoptable product disabled....

bada_bing, as I said, no adoptables actually come with the hack - you or some of your users will have to make them yourselves. The hack allows you to make tadpoles > frogs or whatever you want, as long as you supply the images.

Both the $useradoptables and Who's Online glitch should be fixed now - to upgrade, just download the zip file again and reinstall the product with Allow Overwrite set to On.

Changing the number the growth is dependent on should be very easy - you'd just need to change a few phrases and find all the instances of $vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] in the templates, adopt.php, includes/cron/updateadoptables.php and the Get Member's Adoptables plugin. Then just replace them with something like $vbulletin->userinfo['reputation'] for reputation, etc.
