how it could be integrated to use the vB Reputation System?

Simply enter 'reputation' in the 'Money Row' field. That's how I've got it set up.

Can you give me an example of a mutual fund that the system gives a quote for but won't let you buy? I'm guessing this will be an easy fix/change.

Nothing will be compulsory. I'm still working on the competition design in my head, and of course if you don't want to have competitions, you will not be required to do so.

I'm still not sure how I want to handle the competition aspect of this add-on. I'm thinking there will be two ways the competition will initially start.

1) Users will have to pay to enter the contest. That fee will be the money that they use in the contest. Hence, if I start a contest with a 10,000 dollar/rep/vbbux/whatever fee, then each use that enters the competition will initially start out with 10,000.

2) Users will be able to join a competition for free and will be allocated X amount of dollars/rep/whatever.

I can see advantages and disadvantages to both methods. I may go with one or the other or both, I'm still undecided.

The competition portion of this plugin is still at least another month or two away. Grad school starts next week and with a fulltime job, I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to dedicate to this, aside from bug fixes.

zethon,
Thanks for your time. This has been the best mod i have on my forum in term how it fits the userbase.

Beside the 2 phrases that you have (portfolio value and gain), can you develop more phrases.

Something like the rank of a members in term of top portfolio so we can put in postbit. For example $post[rank_gain] will display the rank of that member based on the gain percentage. $post[rank_value] will display the rank of that member based on the value of the portfolio

I can't buy any stock at all. I have cash on hand, but even when I try to buy just 1 share of $30 stock, is says:
You do not have enough money to make this purchase.

What am I doing wrong? :)

I found the issue, I think.......

The cash on hand that I have is 7,120.31

I found a cheap stock that was $4.00 per share, and it will let me buy 1 share. When I try to buy 2 shares, it says I don't have enough money. For some reason, it appears to be reading 7,120.31 as 7.12031.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Edit - I removed vbux/vbplaza tonight and installed icash. This issue doesn't exist with iCash, so my problem is fixed. :)

Here ya go :

CHCGX
SAUSX
DXCLX
DXZLX
FSNGX


Those types of funds :) Thanks for looking into it!

ok,

I have it installed and got the green bars switched out to show numbers thanks to another thread in mod discussions ( because, I just used the rep system in VB)

, only problem I am having is after a few people have made purchases , they do not show up in the postbit "total portfolio value" they still show zero, and also when I go to the top investors page there is no info there, as if no one is in the game, no memebrs show up under any of the headings.What could I be missing, the install was pretty simple even for a newbie, any ideas ?

please let me know,

Thank you, and thanks for the mod,
it is my personal favorite,
