With some hacks, the templates get "lost" during upgrade, leading you to the white screen of death. Upload the install files, and run the install so that it writes the templates and phrases. That should do it. I had a similar problem.

the installer is the problem, it stops at the database tables. I REALLY WANT MY VBOOKIE BACK! lol :ermm:

If vBookie is not working after upgrading run the installer again but only re-install the templates, nothing else, everything else should still be in your database. I have had it running since the release of vb 3.0.3 and it's worked every time.

problem i had was i reverted templates by accident so i had to redo everything. so after it failed to reload i emptied the data base and tried a fresh install. it didnt work so now i want it back someone fix the installer!!!!!!! ill pay!!

I don't have a previous version installed. Just to be totally sure, other people have fresh installed the posted version to 3.0.6 with no problems?

Just so you know there's a HUGE FLAW in this hack. A user can just save a copy of the vbookie thread to their computer, point the form to the http:// address of the website and bet at whatever odds they choose.

The solution is not setting odds based on the hidden form variables:
<input type="hidden" name="odds2[1]" value="10">
<input type="hidden" name="odds2[1]" value="1">

But by taking the item id:
<input type="hidden" name="item_id" value="1680" />

And grabbing the current odds from the database itself.

Whoa, huh? How do you do that?

Seems to be good, only i can't figure out how to start events, or anything to that effect:
http://www.forums.mpanetwork.com/vbookie.php

I've got it enabled in the member group option.....but still no settings there to allow me to start a new betting thing or anything! confused!

Events are created by creating a new thread in an enabled forum.
When creating a new thread, there will be a tick box to make the thread a vBookie Event. If you check that box and submit, it will bring you to the event setup.

Good luck!

I have tested an install with 3.0.6 and I cannot recall any issues with the installer. The only issues I had was with file edits. The "FIND" code was a bit different in most of the steps but you can still figure out where stuff goes by finding something close to what it tells you to look for.
