I too would be willing to donate monetarily to resolve this issue.

But I've noticed that the uCash/uShop issue is spread out over a couple of different threads...for organizational sake maybe an official "Save uShop 3.5.X" thread should be designated?

This is a good idea I think.

Also, if no experience programmer wants to take on the project, I say let's make it a PAID HACK. Money is the greatest motivator for quality work.

I'm sure 10-20 initial buyers/donators would create enough funds for someone to continue developement. Once the bugfree version is out, the script will be for sale, and the initial "investors" will not have to re-purchase.

I will take it on , but I refuse to make it paid. There is enough paid scripts out that honestly I do not think should be.

I plan to first make a shop that works with the current point system, then I will think about doing more.

Actually I think you should make a points system that actually works, UCASH has many holes and bugs in it like the ability to refresh threads and get points and many more that were pointed out. Any problems left in the points system would ruin a good shop. I would like to have a Stable points system with % points based on characters added into it..

This would be a faster mod to get up and running as there are a ton of SHop features users would want.

Just my two cents, Thanks for taking on this project and I suggest you start a thread in the 3.5 Modifications or PLugins for this..

Actually there is no other area in 3.5 for discussing the 'work' going on in a project so this thread will have to do until such a time as I can give a beta.

Thanks for doing this people. Plebs like me who are hanging out for this hack really appreciate it. :)

WIll be making an annoucement in the ucs forum shortly.

This is cool! My members will be so pleased to have some sort of store back. I'm sure you guys will come up with something great.

If you decide to take donations, my offer still stands and I am also willing to do testing if needed.

Thanks for taking this on! :)

Great news guys, thanks alot for taking your time to do this !

I don't mean to sound greedy or anything after you've been nice enough to take on the position as the new creator... but what kinds of things do you think you could put into it? Sure, I'd be more than happy with the most basic features that were available in the store for 3.0, but think there'll be more? Like the PayPal thing that lets you buy/sell points and things like that.

I agree. the current ucash-based point system has many loopholes, which needs to be fixed first. if there is a beta version of new point system out, I'll be more than happy to test them out with my forum members.

:D :D :D Nevermind

Thanks

OH YES! ucash works greatly on my boards, thanks alot for taking this on. although i doubt this will be done before the end of this month. it must be alot of work for the others to not want to create it. plus all major hacks even ones that are just to be converted for 3.5 tend to take months to be released. but good luck and my best wishes.

hope you make the best of it!

i would be MOST interested in this too! My forum kinda depends on it!

Thanks guys.

Dave

Ucash does not work perfectly on your board as I stated there are many problems with it and loopholes for your members to get points they did not earn which can lead to a HUGE mess for admin..

This is why I feel someone else should than design a new CASH system and work with anyone doing the SHOP so they work together or make them all 1 mod..

What kind of problems? I'd like to be aware of what my users could be doing.

Look at the UCASH thread and you will see all the different problems that exist.

heres one thread

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ighlight=Ucash



but there are many more, I have to go fix my problem I created :P

The easiest step would be whoever will take over the project starts by fixing the bugs reported for the current ucash mod 1.1. Then add ushop-like trade functionality to it..

i only run ucash on my liveboard, with so many members i never noticed, and seemingly nobody else noticed.

Makes ya think what would of happened if you guys has actually asked for help. Technically you guys still haven't but were getting some where now. Keep up the good work.

willthis be a shop, cash and betting plugin, coz I would like a cash reward and betting plugin for my betting site ;)

The betting plug in is vBookie which works with the shops points.

what plugins will I need for it? :ermm:

can any one tell me if there will be a woking version of ushop and ucash??? I need a working version for my forum then I can advertise my forum, my forum will be a forum based on sports and betting, mainly tip advice ;)

ucash yes, ushop no. 3.5

3.0 yes on both.

will there ever be a shop, I am willing to pay $180 in the future for an intergrated betting, cash and shop mod and other mods to my forum :rolleyes:

Yes there is going to be uShop for 3.5. Nobody knows when but I believe it is still in development.

My suggestion is that, if someone is going to make the uShop, then make it like the 3.0 one, and use the current uCash system which is here already.

also I am ready to take it, I mean I want the current development version of Link, because I don't want to code it from nothing, beside I like his ideas.

And if I can't take alone, I'd be glady to co-operate with others to boost the development speed of this hack.

I really want to help ppl out, and firstly myself.

I haven't had time, but I will be talking to people to get somthing together.

I would be very interested in a shop + cash system. I would like it to be intergrated with v3arcde....has anyone thought of that? Im doing a forums which is based around a student bar...I was thinking maybe having a student loan (i.e. cash) and they can post for cash, and then if they have money, they can spend some in the arcade....

anyone thought of this yet?

I suppose the most concerned thing for now is to have the uShop for vb3.5, without that the uCash means nothing.

for the uCash to be used with v3arcade, there are many ppl think of that. but like I said, uShop first.

agreed.

Ucash & Ushop is the most wanted hack, I believe..
There are lots of reasons for that but mostly it encourages community members to share/discuss their knowledge and ideas in any forums where it is installed. When members encouraged, that means more members,treads and post..Thats how forums get bigger..That is what every admin dream about.. :)

Since the key is encouraging members to participate with forum, Ucash & Ushop plays major role. Thats why so many people like me are willing to donate whatever they can because of we want to make our forums bigger and bigger..(3.0 has both but Google is more friendly with 3.5)

Zachery, first of all thank you for your support..
what I am wondering is, area51 testing site (http://area51.geekydesigns.com/) is running ushop & ucash on vb3.5 and it seems to be stable. Why wouldn't they even released beta version of the hack? As I said, we are willing to pay reasonable price..

I'll have to agree with turkforum. I'd be willing to pay a reasonable price as well for the beta you've got running on your testing site. Then you could give what you have to someone else to continue working on it (if that's what you plan on doing).

yes I also suggest the release of that on area51. even if there are bugs, there are many ppl that can help fixing them, I am the first to do.

yes, i'm wondering about that too.
why wouldn't they release it as a beta? at least ushop there works ok.
or are they planning to commercialize it?

I'm guessing that is Link's (or whoever you want to call him) code. You'll recall, he gave us all the middle finger...

Let's not add any more drama to the story...

Matt no longer has the time / effort and want to develop the hack, he has no site to use it on that would encourage his efforts.

However, instead of centering back to that topic, tell me good coders who can continue the work :p

I truly wish I could help.

It's funny. A week ago there seemed to be coders EVERYWHERE wanting to help with this thing. Now there are very few/none.

is Matt too pissed off to even hand out the uShop he has running for 3.5?

I am willing to take over this project, however I will not do it for free because it is too extensive.
