You never answered how to set permissions for the converter.. Im the admin and it says I dont have permission to view the converter page. I've looked everywhere.

How do I create an item that *does* something?

I'd like for a user to be able to buy something like a "pet walker" that when used adds points to their pet to show that it has been walked X number of steps.

I have a custom add-on for my board that allows members to have virtual pets and I'd like to be able to use your store add-on to allow them to buy merchandise and activities for their pets. Is this possible? Can I easily mod store items to *do* things other than change forum colors and such?

Great work on this!!

I was wondering if there is a user manual for forum members or maybe something I could post just to explain this to users??

Thanks

how can i delete the postbit-gifts?

Ok, played with it a on my test site for a bit and just installed live. I have my special members playing with it first before we go site wide but it looks pretty cool.

It's already been scripted :)

I'm on my way to work. 50 hour work week :( But I'll reply to everyone's questions when I get home tonight.

Thanks much mate!

I'm having issues with purchase prices and gambling.

When gambling the marketplace is charging a lot more than the actual price.
When buying gifts it looks like the market place is charging the cost of giving a gift + the cost of the gift every time but only showing the user the initial gift giving charge.

Awesome mod! A quick qn, does the latest version of this points market system work with the latest version of vBcredits Deluxe II ?

What is your primary and/or secondary point system?

Anything new 'bout the 'Can't reply to a PM from member with color change'-Bug?

This resulted from an unreported bug in 3.0.1. I already fixed it but never marked it as a bug, which I probably should. Anyways, the reason why is the market_convert.php file is going off the bank permissions, if you edit it and remove these lines, save and overwrite the file:

It will fix it, alternatively if you edit your Point Market Usergroup permissions and enable Bank access, this will allow the user to edit the page. This has been fixed in the next release.



None yet, I've gone to the vb team for help on it. One way or another when I release the beta it will be fixed or I'll remove coloring ability from private messages.



Speaking of the beta, I am going to be releasing two beta series. One will be done over thanksgiving break. I'll probably make a thread on vbaddict asking anyone who wants to test it on a private forum to go ahead. The second beta will be done where I ask them to test it on their current forums. I haven't gotten to do much work with the Market in the past week because of a hectic work schedule but that ends on Saturday.

For some reason after the last update, the color usernames for mp's issue was resolved. I thought the bug had been scrubbed :D

Hi,

Can someone give me a brief update on how to use this with Vb Experience? I have added market_xperience in the market options but is there something else I am supposed to di or is this not the field name for experience cash?

I am getting some errors saying something about the cash filed being empty..

In addition I cannot find this field in user..

Thanks much..

Hi Mayhem, I would like to ask does your points market system still work with vBcredits II Duluxe? Because I tried vbExperience and I cant seem to select how many points I want to give per post so I may end up needing to get vbcredits instead but I love the points market system that you created, I hope this still works with vbcredits II delux before I buy it? If it does, I would definitely donate for the good work you have done! Please let me know, thank you!

That means the user has no points in vBExperience with your user. Have you run the updater for vbexperience yet afterwards? In order to view the market you need to have at least some point value even if it's .0000001. I'm going to remove that on the next release to just check if the field exists. Any user who has at least that much will be able to view the market.

Yes last I checked it did. I made this originally for vBCredits because I've always been a fan of Dark/PixelFX's work. It should work for both version of vbcredits depending on who you are using just make sure that you are using the correct field name in the Market settings. Ex: credits

Awesome! Thank you! I will go ahead and purchase vbcredits II deluxe.

Hey Guys,

Not sure if this is a problem with uCash or Points Market. The points display with a decimal instead of a comma, so 1,000,000 points is displayed at 1.000.000 instead.

Anyway to change it to a comma instead of a decimal?

Cheers.
BTW great mod! Been looking for something like this for a while.

Mayhem, is there a way to set a date on each product? For eample, I want my users to have the chance to be a moderator of a forum for a price ... but only for a couple of days. And I don't want to have to constantly track it and manually un-add people...etc.

How do we take away someone's mod privileges they bought??????

There used to be a mod that allowed forum members to purchase small images that would be placed in their postbit. Does this offer such a feature?

I went ahead and downloaded and installed. I think I answered my own question. Seems like you can do that. Thanks!

Scratch that...I can't seem to figure it out. I like the idea of adding images through the store. I'd like to be able to put those store items in the postbit, but apparently you can do that with gift items??

Also, anyway to upload an image instead of having to add the url?

I'm getting this error in the postbit item container, when I select the location as
"above chat contact information" the container looks stretched to the left. This is regular postbit, not legacy.

And yes gifts are the images where if a user purchases it, it adds a little icon of your choosing to their postbit and member profile pages.

I'm playing with the 3.1.0 upload features as I finally learned the syntax needed with vBulletin. If I get it working well enough I'll consider adding it to that.

I've found a bug in the 3.0.0 version.

Look the nick of user "Love Kami" has special characters and are making these strange code:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/11/23.jpg

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/11/24.jpg
When I disable the Point Market the error doesn't appear, but when is active, all threads, profiles... anypage are damaged by this code when this user is present .

Can you send me a link to their actual profile?

I've renamed the username but I've the original link:

http://www.emudigital.net/foro/membe...%B2%CC%85-Kami


When you put the cursor on the profile, this is the code that IE get to link the profile.

I hope this can help. Thanks for helping!!!

Getting this error: unclosed_tag. While importing the product, any ideas?

I'm using vBExperience on its own. Don't know why the gambling costs are screwy.

Yes, less then 1% of the people who've tried to install this product have had that error. Not sure why because everytime I pm them and ask them for access to their site to try so I can figure out what it is, they never respond :(

would you be able to provide details on what code to change or a file update so that for the time being we can disable the html working or showing while in private messages, it really is the most frustrating thing in the world.

i'm happy to sacrifice the colors in pm postbit in order to stop having to delete the code in order to send a pm

I can give you access bro, i'll hit you up via PM.

2 questions:
1: are the purchased items will be owned by the user forever? I mean is there an option to set a period of time user can have that item and then it will be deleted?
2: can u please add a converter of other gift/shop systems to this such as vbcommerce and vbshop?

thanks in advance..

Hi Mayhem,
I am very happy with how this is working alone, the only problem I have right now is the colored username PM issue. Has that been resolved?

I installed MediaWiki recently. I turned off my shop because usernames that have spaces and characters other than alphanumeric may crash member's accounts. As a result, I changed everyone's names and then limited new user registrations to only alphanumeric characters with no spaces.

AdminCP/Settings/Options/User Registration Options/Username Regular Expression

You may require the username to match a regular expression (PCRE). The admin help provides some examples that may be useful. To disable this function leave the option blank.

^[A-Z0-9]+$

Unfortunately, this restriction is circumvented when buying a Name change in this modification. Is there a way you can fix this please?

I've marked this as a bug and it will fix the up and coming release.



As far as 3.1.0 everything is coming a long nicely. I've been spending a lot of time working with the Admin CP and trying to make things easier to understand and use with everything having it's own section. I've also chopped up the files for the Point Market in the Admin CP and there is now a lot more files needed to upload then before. Trying to get everything to have it's own purpose I guess.

Anyways, I have two days off over Thanksgiving break and I'm going to try and spend a large amount of my time working on getting the first beta release out. That will be just a preliminary one to find some serious flaws and get some feedback on where I've taken this mod. I can safely say the Point Market anymore is basically a crap load of different hacks all bundled up into one. I'll also get some screenshots of the whole system out hopefully on Thanksgiving or so. I'm still targeting a Christmas release for this series as it'll be the last one I can do until spring is over due to me doing my internship this spring.

Thanks I appreciate it! I turned my shop back on the day I turned it off when I realized all I had to do was just disable the username store bought item. :p
