:D Thanks for the quick reply, works fine now

personally, i would not want to use any other store hack to add-on to vbookie. cos, i think vbookie is really a great piece of work. and where i am coming from for this suggestion is to enable a forum to entice members to "subscribe". get what i mean? *wink
i think a small extension to vbookie's "charity mode" might do the job.

glad that you liked it. :)

it allows a player of a lower position to challenge the one higher (much like a ladder system where a player within 2 or 3 positions can challenge the higher positioned player) so that if he wins, points from the higher player are deducted and given to him.

yup, but i was hoping that it be fairer to those who wishes to donate more and increase their chances of winning a prize. (e.g a pool cue/accessories/case/tables/etc for my forum members) :)

cool! sometimes, i really wish i know php too... you made it sound so simple... maybe i should really pick it up.

yup. you hit it right on the head!

oops, this is really quite hard to explain. why did i use only a sentence previous to tell ya... hahaha, i will post a more detailed reply to this later.

You are the man!

There won't be any updates this weekend, as I'm away on a mate's stag weekend from Friday - Sunday, and if England lose to Switzerland I'll be too depressed anyway. =)

Whooo, I broke the half-century. Thanks to everyone that clicked "Install". Rest assured, I'll be working on a better, prettier, more functional, enhanced version, and you will all be notified as soon as it's available.

Arrrrrrrr!

This looks great! Thanks for sharing with the community :)

Great add-on! My members love it. Thanks.

I should be getting a new release available by next weekend which will enable admins/bookies to alter bets and refund bets etc., as well as some other updates and enhancements.

Excellent hack, best one in a long time, thank you!

Yeah, this mod rocks, thanks!

I have tried twice now to implement this hack but each time I do it, I get all my pages as showing as blank. I think that means my global.php is messed up. I re-copy my orig (pre-edit files) back up and all works. I thought I read somewhere that this means I have a space missing or added somewhere. Any ideas?

I would say that you just have to take more care when doing the hacks. Make sure you are doing exactly what the instructions tell you to do; if any of your files are already hacked for other things, the instructions might not be exactly correct, so you need to be careful in those circumstances.

My problem is that I did it three times - the edits I mean. I have other hacks such as arcade, articles and cmps_ advanced and non have the problems. What file could cause this to happen? I would assume it would be the init.php or global.php because it even causes the admin panel index.php to be blank.

I now get a blank page for vBookie after upgrading to vB 3.0.1 . I still have all the control panel options, but can't view vBookie.php . I had the same problem w/ uCash, but used the uninstall option and then reinstalled and everything worked fine...

Thanks in advance to any help.

this is a great mod! I am testing it now! Outstanding Work

Any where that I can find this hack for vb 2.2?

it doesn't exist.

check your templates

installed

What a sweet mod thanks a million

Need Help! I have a fat error whenever I try to view my board, all it shows is Any suggestions?

The effects of it is my whole board cannot be accessed, even the admin cp

that's because you didn't follow the instructions properly and it MUST BE that.

Positive? Could it be anything else? Also... could you point me in the right direction as to where I messed up?

I have this sugestions :

- posibility to pick from (i don't know how to say it in english) 1:1 sistem to a 1-x-2 sistem. You know, the actual sistem. My users want to have a 1 (home team wins) x (draw) 2 (away team wins)

- posibility to RESTART the whole sistem. I mean, restart the monney, and all users will have again 500 vCash

- posibility to manualy edit vCash that user has

Yes to the latter two - they will come soon. I don't really understand the first one though. Perhaps you could give some examples.

Posibility to chose from the ODDS system to a 1 - x - 2 sistem.

The 1-x-2 sistem is like this :

You have 2 teams (football - soccer for americans :P) and from the 2 teams you can chose 1, x or 2.

If you chose 1 the home team wins, if you choose X then it's a draw, if you chose 2 the away team wins.

Go it ?

P.S. http://hattrick.computergames.ro/forum
this is my forum. See your hack in action :)

The odds system confuse our (Dutch) members. 10/1 and 5/2 bets...and i can't explane it, they have to deal with the instructions given. Is it possible to simplify the instruction? For example a bet of 100 points will increase/decrease by *** if etc. :)

Great hack! clicks install

Why not just use three outcomes, all with odds of 1/1?

i.e.

Team A vs. Team B:

Team A to win: 1/1
Draw: 1/1
Team B to win: 1/1

It seems to me that you want to unneccessarily complicate the system.

They're about as simple as I can make them. I've already explained it in terms of how much you'd win, haven't I?

At odds of 10 / 1, a bet of 100 would increase by 1000 if the bet was won, i.e. you'd get 1100 back (1000 winnings, plus the 100 stake). A bet of 100 at 5/2 would increase by (100 * 5) / 2, or 500/2, or 250. The person would get paid 350, their 250 win plus their 100 stake back.

nice sugestion.

P.S. So it is 1/1 not 1:1 :)

The problem is that one can't bet for one game in a simple 1x2. It is complicated.

Maybe it is just me. Most likely it is.

I installed this on my vb3.01 system and set the user permissions to allow admins to do anything. I turned it on and set it to use ucash.

However, when I goto the site, login as an admin and goto the vbookie, I do not see any options at all to add an event? I double checked the instructions and it does nto appear that I have forgotten anything.

How do I add an event?

Have you tried reading the manual?

tjdrico :

Another small sugestion. Posibility to add an image on bet GROUP.

For exemple, when you create a new bet, you put a group text. Like ENGLAND PREMIERSHIP, or something. How about posibility to use images instead of text ? So i won't writte ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP, i will just put the logo.

This is a small sugestion :)

Also, on the vBooking page, you have :

Currently showing OPEN Events. Switch to .....

There is OPEN, CLOSE, etc. What about ALL, that will show all the bets, closed, open, suspended, etc.

I would think that's entirely possible, PET. I can't recall offhand whether I parse BB code in the "group" text, but all I think I'd need to do is that, so that you could use [img]...[/img] and have it converted to HTML by the parser. Good suggestion.

The "ALL" option is easy to add, so I will.

OK, I did not see the link in the instructions for where the manual was located.

However, when I choose to post a new event, I get the following error.

Warning $botuserid is not set to the proper member ID

Now, I searched the documentation and all of the files that came with this hack saw no reference to $botuserid.

I searched the templates as well.

Help

$botuserid is absolutely nothing to do with vBookie, so I can't offer any help or ideas. I imagine you need to check whatever hack you've installed that uses that variable name.

I'm experiencing the same problem, hope someone can help.

Many many thanks in advance:)

I haven't installed 3.0.1, so I don't really have any ideas.

i'm on 3.0.1 and don't have that problem :urghh:

Any way I could reinstall this hack? Just like what ushop provided, with a reinstall scrip. (useful after upgrading vBulletin)

Many thanks in advance.. :)

Thats because you intalled this hack on a fresh 3.0.1.
