Looks like you fixed it?

Thanks for the response. So based on that, would you then enter the odds as....
Teixeira to win "1 to 4.5"
Bader to win "3.5 to 1"

Also is anything you know of that can simplify setting up say all the weeks scheduled NFL game's?

Yep - although I can't remember if vbookie takes decimals, if not 2 to 9 and 7 to 2 would be the same as "1 to 4.5" and "3.5 to 1". That being said, "100 to 440" is totally valid, and possibly looks more "right" to those that are familiar with odds in the -440 / + 350 format

No easy way to set up the weekly schedules, other than get someone else to do it :) On my site I have the normal moderators AND I also created a "bookmakers" group with the permissions necessary to do the vbookie stuff.

nope! here is link, scroll to bottom when u get a chance....thanks

Had an issue with my template a while back. I tried this

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=846

Not sure if it will work for you though.

Did a quick search but found nothing.

On a site I have just set vbookie up to use vcash and everything looks like its working however when I place a bet, and click bet now, the page refreshes and the bet does not show, and it also does not show in the vcash postbit display as removed.

Now after doing another refresh then the bet shows and the proper amount of vcash shows. Same with settling a bet, you select winner, click on settle, it doesn't show bet settled until you do another refresh and then it shows as settled.

Is this the way its supposed to work or should it update bets, vcash amounts, etc without having to do extra page refreshes?

No - that's not how it's meant to happen. Sounds like your database is slow to be updated, or that there is some caching going on either in your browser or server ?

Try EasyEazy's suggestion

Great and again thanks for the info.

Do you know of a method that can simplify setting up say all the weeks scheduled NFL game's? Or do we have to enter them individually as it appears?

Thanks Dartho for the quick reply. We have xcache set on the server so that could be why its not updating right away, will see if thats the culprit.

Edited: found out its firefox cache thats doing it, works in chrome and IE instantly, now have to figure out what to do with firefox.

I don't do this much EasyEazy, however I'm going to do it for you!!!!

I bow down to you, almighty god...IT WORKED LOL

YOU DA MAN BRO!!!

thank you very much

dartho to save yourself a headache should add this fix to the top. thanks guys


update---------------------------

However now there is no links to place bets (open)

You create a new thread, and down where it says you can add a poll, there will be an option to add a vbookie event (assuming your permissions have been set right in admincp)

yup that worked!!

side note--whats a good number to put for odds... i know it goes by giving the underdog the better odds over a beast team so something like 2 to 1?

Having some issues with slow queries. Getting the good old copying to temp table and a healthy delay while that's done.

It's hitting the thread table so I'm guessing that's the problem as our thread table is rather large. :o Threads 878,024 Posts 14,841,008

Any idea if adding an index on thread.vbookie_item_id would help to speed these queries up?

etc...

thanks

No idea... Dare I say give it a go?

I'm not that brave. :o

having an issue where all the outcomes switch slots randomly but dont move the bets. anyone seen anything liek this? its like someone just moves the outcomes around

is there a way to log vbookie use? maybe someone hacked my forum

i figured it out. if i edit the event..it flips the outcomes....it flips them top goes to bottom. open it up and just hit save agian and it fixes it back the right way...

any ideas.....?

edit; that was an event with only 3 items.

with more it makes them go into random places. the problem if the money placed stays in the same slot while the odds and names change slots. they stay together

I had to remove this addon sadly. vBookie was copying tables to tmp tables and locking up my forums.

I have seen other forums report this searching Google but no fix.

Has anyone had a problem like this?

My forum runs on two servers but I dont think that would be the issue would really like to know if there is a fix.

The question has been brought up here.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....1&postcount=12

I had a look at this.

Firstly - please note - I am not a database guy!!

That being said, I did some tests and found that adding an index to thread.vbookie_item_id reduced the query time on my test site from 15 seconds to 0.0010 seconds.

edit: Just re-read boggseric's post and adding the above index was his original suggestion. I made (and unmade) several changes before coming to this one change which does indeed speed things up!

So is it possible to use my own credit system with this? I'm using dbtech shop cash atm.

Hi Dartho is this something that has to be done manually? I am not a database guy either.

Yep - you need to run the following query on your thread table

ALTER TABLE `thread` ADD INDEX ( `vbookie_item_id` )

or if you use phpmyadmin, you could browse to the thread table, select the 'Structure' tab, check the vbookie_item_id field and click the 'Index' icon to add an index.

Yes - you can write plugins to do this. Have a look at the vbookie_functions.php file

Excellent Dartho. When I get a chance I will run a backup and make the change and see if it does the same speedup on our forum.

Thanks dartho. Re-installed and indexed. Lets see how it goes.

Header spacing question, maybe?? ;) All of my site respects the top area but vbookie doesn't, it cuts off most of the header area. Is there a way to add space in one of the vbookie files?

Sorry guys, I kept searching and found the solutions here. Just incase somebody else comes along.

had to add
{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}
before the
</head> the in the VBOOKIE Style

Thank you Robbed

sadly i have this same problem

Check usergroup permissions are set to "Can use V Bookie"

HI Spangle ive checked everything still looks the same

Anyone seen issues with people getting like 28 trillion in vcash? Our forum is large and has hiccups everynow and then so I thinking the users is placing a bet and it's going through but doesn't appear to go through then the user places the bet again and then end up with a negative value. Now I'm assuming the variable being used is unsigned so instead of the negative value it's showing the extremely large value.

That's right. The db or webserver would need to be slow or glitch at a specific point for this to happen, but it can - making your currency signed (user.vbookie_cash if using the default) should stop this from being able to happen.

Has anyone got this installed on 4.2.2?

Runs fine on 4.2.2

Great thanks kylek

In main vbookie window, under the item heading for the list of events, under each event there is:
Thread | Info | Delete

Where would I find the template to edit 'Thread' I'd like to change the link text to 'Place Bet'

Great idea.. a link to where they can actually make the threads.!!
Also, is there a way to earn vCash for people to spend.? (besides winning bets, like activity)

Thanks

PS. if im running 4.2.0 which version should i upgrade to.?

check the vbookie_main_items_bit template and change the bit which is like:
<a href="showthread.php?t={vb:raw item.threadid}">{vb:phrase thread}</a>
to
<a href="showthread.php?t={vb:raw item.threadid}">Place Bet</a>

As for a link to where people can make vbookie threads - that is entirely dependent on how you set up your site. You'd just link them to the forum in which you want/allow them to create vbookie events/threads.

There are other "cash" systems available here (vb.org) that provide ways of earning more cash which can work with vBookie.
