Is it possible to integrate this with vbBux?
So that you can chosse in Admin CP:
Adoptions cost one Time Money,
Adoptions cost daily Money (or other returning issues)
If you Adopt, yo get Money.

This looks like a great hack, just the sort of thing that would work very well on my site... but without any pets included, I can't use it.

I was wondering, has anyone here created any images for this hack, and if so, are they willing to share?

installed today and been running some tests before giving it to our members but have come across a problem.

for some reason its not moving onto the next stage when your post count reaches the minimum posts required to advance.

have double and triple checked the install and all seems ok

any ideas ?

I have noticed this too.....

It moves on to the next stage via a scheduled task which runs every hour - it won't happen immediately, and not at all if there is no traffic on the forum to run the cron.

what is the scheduled task that needs to run..?

I think I called it something like "Update adoptable stage", and it should have been included with the product as per the 3.6 features that make everything easier. (The cron file was included in the zip package.)

EDIT: Hmm. Oddly, the scheduled task doesn't appear to be part of the product XML, even though the phrases from the task are in the product. Well, I'm putting in the right XML now, and to fix that if you've already installed it, you should just add a new scheduled task, give it the varname "updateadotables", leave all the time settings at the default * except that the first "Minutes" should be 0, set Active to Yes, Log Entries to No, Filename to ./includes/cron/updateadoptables.php, the Product to the Adoptables hack and vBulletin Default to Yes.

The part highlighted in your post i could not see where i set it up.

When i run it...it get this error

Warning: main(/home/xxx/xxx/.includes/cron/updateadoptables.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/cronadmin.php on line 108

Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/xxx/xxx/.includes/cron/updateadoptables.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /admincp/cronadmin.php on line 108

and now nothing works at all to do with the adoptables.

Bleh, that was just a typo... there should be a slash after the . in the file path, of course.

And the vBulletin Default? setting should be at the bottom of the page for creating a new scheduled task in 3.6.

Found the default setting thanks.

However for some reason the adoption tables have gone...is there any way to get them replaced..

thanks
