incredible system.

love it so much,

and im extremely happy that its a standalone,
got plenty of point systems without shop systems. :D

Well I guess I should announce changes for what will be in 1.0.3:

1) Bug Fixes that you guys report between now and then
2) Gift System
- Purchase Gifts for yourself
- Purchase Gifts for someone else
- Ability to Create Gifts and Sell them at a price you choose (I like this option :))
- Gift History and Market Center to buy custom created gifts
3) Donation Reason for Donating

Ability to Create Gifts and Sell them at a price you choose. I think that this option is the best for this mod. I'm waiting for this incredible option and the new version of the mod. The gifts are objetcs or images that can be showed in postbit?

Thanks!!

Thanks :) Seen what's coming up in next version and love what you've got to offer. In a future release could you have an option for "admin donations", where admins can donate however much bux they wish to a user without accessing the acp?

Can you add an "avatar expansion" item to the shop? Let's say the original setting for avatar size is 100x100 but if the users buy that item they can use a bigger avatar size.

Thanks

They are little icons that I am going to put below your post count in a squared box.

PROPER,thanks TheMayhem bro.

Could we get an option that would let a member reset their purchases, so everything goes back to default?

With the new gift option being added, could you add the coding we so users can see the gifts they receive in their user profile?

I've already coded it :)

You skipped me Mayhem :(

On the avatar size subject: Yes I am going to impliment it.

When is the question. Since vBcredits isn't out yet which is easily the most popular point system, the install number for this product is still relatively low. I'm trying to focus on a base structure until the installs go up where I can add more item features such as that. Plus, in order to add an avatar size increase I need to learn more about image manipulation. So let's say once we get the install count over 150 I'll add it just for you :)

It will take a while. People is too shy to hit that install button haha In addition to that, some are still hesitating to upgrade to vb4 due to so "many" bugs therefore the install for most of the vb4 add on will stay relatively low. Regardless, thanks for taking my request into consideration :)

It'll be done I promise at some point. Image manipulation intimidates me a bit so an addon like you want I'll do I just want to know that the few days of learning is worth it because enough people will be using it.

Not to rush you but when should the new version being released?

Another good and quick addon for your next update could be the list of top 10 richest users. If the user is in the top 10 then next to their point in postbit something like this could display

Point: 1000 (Top! 1)

I'm feeling like Sunday will be a lucky day.

Awesome; keep up the good work :)

Do you think you could write up a guide for people to code their own custom items from the market? I'm sure I could figure it out pretty quickly, but I think if you made it public people could contribute their work back and help speed up the production of this pretty awesome product.

The way it's setup currently custom items would break the code. Custom item scripting is an idea I definately will consider in the future I would have to make serious core changes to the product before that could be implimented. Until then I'm trying to code what people seem to heavily request or want.

Is there anyway to turn off the decimal place in your total point?

Thanks

I think this Store system has a lot of potential just needs a few more items.
Here's some ideas I have for categories and items.

Legend:
Categories are BOLD
The items are regular font.

----------------------------------------------------

Points
- Bank (So people can't steal points from other people)
- All of your steal items (EX: The 25%, 50%, 75% steal)
- Lottery (People can bet and gain more points or lose points)

Username
- Bold
- Italics
- Underline
- Font
- Current Items you have now

Usertitle
- Bold
- Italics
- Underline
- Font
- Current Items you have now

Other Users
- Gifts
- Current Items you have now

----------------------------------------------------

Just some suggestions I think would improve the store a lot.

I hope you don't mind this but I added a number randomizer to the code and set up a percentage of success when people try to steal points. It's more fun that way than 100% success rate. I hope you will add this function soon too so I don't have to modify the code xD

Sure I'll put something in it tomorrow. I'm still actually working on the gift section, which was basically making a whole second hack and integrating it with our current hack. I have everything about done except the Admin CP additions.

Oh ya, and maybe a reason box when donating..xD I am really looking forward to your next release :)

Thanks for your hard work, I really like this mod :)

Some of my members experience a bug that prevent them from seeing all the pages in "stolen by" history log when they reached 6+ pages. Maybe a quick button to clear the log?

Thanks

That might be a vBulletin bug... your members are already up to 6+ pages of stealing points? lol holy crap! I'll do some testing with it after I wake up and see if I can figure out what's going on. Is it the same with donating history?



Also to everyone who is going to be on a lot Sunday and has aim, I might need one or two beta testers to test 1.0.3 before I release this puppy. I've done A LOT of changes to the code and the gift addition pretty much the equivolant of it's own major hack so I'm a little nervous about releasing it without getting a few hours of people telling me it is working correctly. If anyone's interested hit me up on aim at Fishy Sticks 87 and I'll give you first crack before I release it later this evening.

Oh man, you have no idea. After I integrated the % success, people wasted so much points and attempts in order to gain their points back or get revenge. It's so funny to watch people try and fail lol.
Anyway, the bug was something else. I just got clarified again by member. Let's me rephrase it:

If you have more than 4 pages on "stolen by other" you will see the following pagination

1 2 3 ... -> Last->> , if you click on page 2, 3 or next or last page then it takes you to the "Stolen by me" page instead of the next page of "Stolen by other". Maybe linking error?

So far, donation and "stolen by me" history are fine. It's just the "stolen by other" :)


I will glad to help you test it out tomorrow after I wake up ^_^. Overall, great mod!

Okay, that would be a bug. I'm staring at it now so I'll apply a fix once I come up with one before I release this.

Attached are two screenshots I took.

The gift option looks very cool but base on screenshots I won't able to figure out how its functional fully xD I see "award", are you integrating the shop along with the award system too? lol If not, it will be hard to make users use the gift function if they don't get anything cool to display in their postbit or profile. Well, I will wait for it :)

In Point Market 1.0.3 there are 4 new Gift Items plus a Gift Category

Inside the Gift Category there are:
- Buy yourself a Gift
- Create a Gift to sell on the market for points

In the Other Users category there is
- Buy someone else a Gift

In the Market Features Category there is
- Gift Market Access

Predefined Gifts versus Custom Gifts
When using the Administrative Control Panel you can setup two defined groups. First are your standard selection of gifts. These can be applied to users who want to purchase a gift for themselves or for someone else. You can add new gifts besides the premade ones by selecting from the customized gift template group.

The second group is the Gift template group. The template group is naturally much bigger. Within it, you can set the standard names for a gift, a small description, and the icons. Gifts inside this group are used to create new gifts offered to users (Buy Gift for Self and For Others) AND gifts to be created. A major creation of 1.0.3 and a new gift concept is to allow users to create their own "special gifts" that are not just a standard gift, adding more prestige and allowing for them to earn money on the market since they can only purchase from what other people have made. The nice thing about having a template gift group to choose from is you can still control the images the users can select from.

Create a Gift
Based on the settings the Administrator has set, users will be able to create a gift for a given cost. The gift images will be selected from a predefined custom gift template in the Admin CP to allow for control over the content. Users will be able to select the Gift Name, Description, and Purchase Price. Users will have to pay a hefty fee to create a gift and their are minimum and maximum amounts imposed based off of the usergroup that the can charge. Once posted, the gifts will be viewable on the Gift Market.

Gift Market
Users can purchase access from the Market Features to gain access to the Gift Market. On here, all customized gifts created by other users (many of which are not offered as standard gifts) can be viewed here. The creator of the gift, gift name, purchase price, and description are viewable. You can not purchase custom gifts created by yourself to ensure no one is trying to cheat the system. When a user purchases a gift that money goes to the person who created the gift as a source of revenue. The other feature to the gift market is you can view any customized gifts you have created. This allows you to keep track of gifts that you have sold and gifts that are still on the market.

Give Gifts to Another User
Giving a gift to another user over yourself is the same except reason code is also displayed and when putting your mouse over a gift icon it will say who gave who the gift and why they did.

Yes, all gifts are viewable on the postbit and the memberinfo.

Additional changes to 1.0.3 include donation reason, a few bug and template fixes to work better for smaller resolution sizes, and percentage for stealing item based off of usergroup.

Hopefully that explains it a bit better as I've mentioned all week....1.0.3 is by far the most extensive changes I've done with this hack.

Perfecto Amigo, My users will be happy with this new feature :D Can't wait to upgrade it :)

If you need help testing this, I will sign onto AIM. Just let me know.

Holy crap! I'm glad I checked this forum today. I've been waiting for vbplaza to be updated for vB4. Now I don't have to!

edit: Is there a Paypal donation link that you'd like to provide?

What makes me laugh is how you need to pay to use vBplaza, and now this is out vBplaza shall eat it.

Nah, no paypal donations are needed. I just appreciate people clicking the "install" button and rating the product on what they think. I've been with vBulletin for 8 years and just now finally decided to release a hack so I'd like it to be a popular one.

I am now 98% done with the hack, I've had a few people test the changes and everything has been positive. I have just one last part for the admin cp to do so I can release it.

If anyone knows the answer to this question: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...33#post1958633

I'd very much appreciate the help. I need that question answered as it is all that is holding up 1.0.3 being released.

The Point Market 1.0.3 is now available for public release :) Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and input. Nearly every change I did in this release was based off of feedback or high demand for a particular item or feature.

Awesome work. :)

Is there anyway to delete a gift once its sent?

Currently, you can only disable it in the ACP. I figured the next release I will focus on the Admin CP features and information instead of the market script. It will be a little while for the next release though, I have student teaching to do this week :(
