CMX

I just wanna thank you for all the hard work you put into this hack!!!


A lot of time must be spend for it i guess.


Thanx a lot

My board members are having a good time with it :)

I had this problem too. If you put 0 for the character value in the ebux settings, then the points are given for the thread/replies as set in the forums.

Looks like the bug is that you can't use both for now.

Hope that helps!

Also I agree!!! This store is AWESOME!!!!!! Thank you for all your hard work CMX!

Ok, the bugs I found were these:

1. When turning off a catagory, the 'quick menu' drop downs don't save. I had to go into each catagory and turn them off one by one.

2. When setting the quantity for each item, the 'quick box' inputs don't save. I had to go into each option and set the quantity one by one.

Hope that helps too!

I have a suggestion.

I wonder is it possible like admins can give points to posts that they thing are good quality post. For example, staff can give a max of five thumbs up or five thumbs down and each thumb represent 10 points for example and it will show the images on the top of the postbit. I think this will enourage people to make good quality posts.

I've just installed v1.1.1.1 and when I go to use the eStore Action - Mass Forums Settings, I get this error. Any ideas?

Please see my Modification Request:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=107768

Starbug i've noticed the same but the problem whas solved when i saved the settings and the manage options again without change anything.

CMX i have the option to block a member from a forum made available for moderators and not fot members but when a moderator buys this the blocked member can post and reply in that forum. How to do this correctly?

Hey CMX.. upgraded to 1.1.1.1 and I still have this expire option problem on my one account. Still get the same error and cannot use the account at all.

I rebiult the datastore, and cleared the history and the changes thing.

revert the estore_main template anyways to fix your problem.

I've noticed this only works with internet explorer so if you are using firefox you won't see the names glowing. I don't know if there is a plugin for firefox to fix this or not.

I'm talking bout the colored username, the glow thing i know that only works in ie :)

*************IDEA**************

CMX - someone on my board came up with a really interesting idea - a Return on Investment of sorts when you start a new thread.... for every reply you get, you earn a point. What do you think?

i keep getting an error

Is there anyway I can change this so it displays all gifts (even duplicate images, since they may be from different members), up to the limit set in admin of course (default is 20)?

I think I found an issue with v1.1.1.1. When you go into manage category and say you change a category to "no" for whether it's active and then save your changes....it doesn't actually save for some reason. Anyone else notice this?

Suggestion ... Would be good if there was some way of checking the colour that is typed into the colour/glow username/title box.

If someone makes a spelling mistake or doesn't understand HTML colours they'll lose the effect.

you said these were trivial, but I'm not sure what you mean by that.. like easy to do but they wouldn't add much to the hack?

seems like they'd be hard to add, but I'm not a coder so I have no idea.

can I make a request...

can you add somewhere where we can set all the usergroups in on click ? then if there are some options we don't want a group to have we can go in and edit the groups per item ??

I'm kinda getting tired of after each update having to go thu each option and reset all my usergroups :(

other then that, I love it :D

*p.s. when i try and thread options i get this message, and I'm admin so I know i have the option to do any of this

The thread you are trying to close is in a forum that you are unable to close threads in.

p.p.s. - I've seen this posted in this thread before, but if I make my admin group in usergroups a color like <font color="red"> </font> then if they go to the shop,, and buy change name color.. nothing changes ? I've double checked all usergroup options for the shop, but this still gets overridded,, any ideas on what i need to check ?

For now you can edit each catagory you want to turn off and save it that way (one by one).

Haven't seen this, or maybe I missed it, but if you're using set colors for different user groups, can you turn off the "change user name color" option, without turning off that entire category? Just curious. Have not installed yet.

yes.

Where do I need to go to not allow people to change their member name certain colors? I dont want them to beable to buy red, gold, or purple (Admin and such)

THANKS!!!

For the gifts in the postbit; would it be possible for when you mouse over the gifts it will show the message left when you recieved the gift? :}

Im just gonna leave this here, with the amount of feature requests here I won;t be surprised if its missed..

Is it possible when buying an item, you don;t have enough money in hand to buy it, but there is enough in the users bank to give an option to take that money from the bank?

Thanks CMX, Awesome hack and top notch work on it :)

why are the release versions being numbered like that? 1.1.1.1 instead of umm 1.2? next is 1.1.1.1.1? nothing important, just something I notice. Thats quite unique and funny.

btw, thanks for the fixes cmx.. always keeping us up to date and I am glade that I ended up using this store instead of ushop. I think the developers abandon it because I haven't seen no updates for it for awhile and people having problems with bugs all over it.

I would like the option to have like a usergroup joint acount, so if all the mods wanted to change somones title or ban somone etc...

Someone should make this work with vBookie.

Edit: Nevermind, I should of used search.

I know but what I'm saying is when I set an individual category to not active and then save it.....it says saved successful, but when I go back it's still showing yes for active.

Yeah I know. I posted about that a few pages back. I was just saying there is still a way to turn the catagory inactive, it just takes longer because you have to do it one by one instead of using the nice quick drop down menu way. I wasn't sure if you knew that.

Thanks!

I am also able to purchase the Postcount Plus 50 without enough points on my site. This creates a problem because it puts you in the negative. When you have negative points, you can't go to the bank or do anything but continue buying 50 more post counts.

Disable it then.

how can I make it so people can buy something more than 1 time, and it be displayed in thier sig more than once??

Would there be a way to add Usergroups by only editing one field and it will do it for every field, cause, it REALLY gets long when you have custom usergroups that you have to do for every option...

it would be great and even easier to use ;)

LoL, that would be a funny idea yet. I'll add it to the list todo.

Yes, it should be the very last setting in the eBux Settings.

The datastore is new to this because it saves 2 queries when going to the estore.php file all of the time. So if you have no items, goto Rebuild Datastore, then refresh the eStore main page.

It's a percentage.

Well, kind of. Whatever number you put in there gets multiplied by the number of characters in the post. So if you put a 1 and there are 100 characters in the post, the user would get 100 points.

Thats ok as long as you dont want the GLOW feature to work... Because the glow needs a DIV and not a SPAN, it needs the style "display: block;" to work properly.

Lottery is coming in v1.1.2 that should be released tonight.

And what do you mean by signature store setup? To purchase a signature? If so, thats a future feature I'm working on as well.

I've tested this again in v1.1.2, I dont have the old version installed anymore, so maybe it was fixed in the new version.

Reupload all of the files, then goto the Admin CP and click on Rebuild Datastore, then goto the eStore Main page and press Refresh, that should fix it.

These bugs are fixed in v1.1.2.

It might be possible by adding another field to the thread database for "extrapoints". I'll put it on the list of todo.

I dont how this error could occur, I'm using v1.1.2 at the moment, and it didnt give an error for me, wonder why. The only way it could fail is if you did not enter a numeric value for all 3 of the fields. In any case, I put a check there to verify it can update some settings.

Unfortunately this is an entire hack by itself like its an RPG.

Not sure I understand, can u send me a PM with more details?

Right now the thread creator gets points when someone views their thread, giving them points when someone replies too is overkill I think.

There was a field named wrong in the XML before, try to reimport the new XML product sheet, if not, wait until v1.1.2

Yes, will be fixed in v1.1.2.

Since v1.1.1.1, you can enable a new option setting called "Can Always Change." This way the user can change the color WITHOUT rebuying the thing. If you enable this setting, you can goto the option again in the store and it will have 2 parts, the first one will ask for the color again, it should show that it costs no points to change it. And removing it is underneath it.

It means its more time involved than I really want to put into thief. Perhaps someone with more time can 'adapt' it to be more involved.

I'll see about adding something like this in the future. The namecolors uses the HTML command <FONT COLOR="blah"> it should work in all web browers, view the HTML source and search for the username and see if its showing the proper HTML.

Each item itself has an option to be "Active" or "Show in Store". If you enable Active, it will be able to be used. If its not Active, then show in store doesnt do anything either. You can make it Active and not shown in the store as well and then your admins would have to know the URL to goto for that option.

This feature is useless because they could just use an RGB HTML color that is SO close to your admin colors, nobody would be able to tell the difference. Like if you used Red, #FF0000, they could use #FF0001 or #FF0100 or #FF0101 and nobody would be able to tell the difference anyways.

Probably, but the other hacks that do this CACHE all of the gifts out of the database, which is overkill, if u have a board that has 3000 gifts in the database, it would start loading much slower over time.

Believe it or not, I've already thought of this feature and I'm working on an idea to implement it in the future.

They are not, v1.1.1 came out. It had a minor bug in it, I needed to increase the version number so it could rerun the <Installcode> inside of the Product XML file, so I tacked on a 1 to it since it was just a bugfix with nothing new featurewise.

What exactly do u mean? Like change EVERYONE's user title in 1 go? LoL that would be a bit overkill, cant you just change the default usertitle for their usergroup in vB's settings already?

I'll look into this as this is a pretty serious bug.

You mean like show their userhistory in their signature?

Yeah, I just need to think of a way to do this, I would also like to make the usergroups show the actual names instead of the 2,5,6,7 stuff and have it list out each of the usergroup options and you just put a check next to the ones you want.

-CMX

Thank you, hope it works out and just installed the new version and works great :)

One question about the thief option. My users love this option in the shop mods. I don't have a shop mod installed yet(one that works good anyway)lol Heres my question. When a user fails to steal does his points get taken away and added to the user he targeted? The old uShop did this and its a function I would like to have.

Looks like a great hack and I'll be trying it out tonight.

eStore has two options for thief. You can choose between having the money go to the person the thief was trying to steal from, or the money can just go into oblivion and nobody get its. Either way, if somebody try's to thief and fails, they lose the money. It's up to you as the admin to determine where it goes.

A question on paychecks. Does a user receive a paycheck from each usergroup he is part of or do they only get issued based on their primary usergroup?

Thanks man.. I think its a bug. If I leave the values at 0 for the mass forum setting, it gives me an error. If I put in a value as you said, it works. But I want to set all my forum values to 0 :P

Awesome hack btw.

HOTM for sure. Suprising how something coded in a shorter ammount of time is better than a long project like uShop. Great job with this man.

I dunno about the points per reply to your thread being overkill. Would be nice to have the option.

GREAT job as always, CMX.
