Why is it, that the memberinfo template will pull up a user's ebux points number when using $userinfo[totalpoints], $userinfo[bank], and $userinfo[points], but those same code snippets will not work in postbit or navbar templates???

Here's a strange one. Added an admin tonight, changed his usergroup from active member to administrator and now he cannot access the eStore, gets the you do not have permisson page. Anyone come across this before?

Same here ;)
'cause some members feel annoyed with the second page.

will this mod has this function ???

Use point system to pay to read a thread

example:

a user can make a thread and sell it for 5 points, other users will have to pay 5 points to read it or else, the message will be hidden

I've upgraded my install to v1.17 and I have a question on the lottery system.

How do I change the end date of the Weekly Lottery?

After enabling the option and testing a ticket purchase with a user it gave an estimated end time of the lottery to be the same day (today, Monday) at 10:00 PM. The Time Active setting is 604800.

As info, I do not have the Daily Lottery option enabled at all.

I'm sure I'm overlooking something if you can point me in the right direction.

I have an issue with the Lottery.

When I purchase a ticket, regardless of if it is Daily or Weekly, the confirm screen shows the same Lottery Ends Approximately: date (which is the weekly date)

how hard would it be to add ebux support to rpg inferno ? or visa versa ?

I've seen this asked, with a few nonspecific answers...

But is there any way forums can automatically (or even manually) give points to users that contribute $$? VB already has contibuton/subscriber feature built in -- couldn't it give users points somehow through that once they donate? It doesn't need to integrate directly with Papal or anything.

Great Mod!
Thanks

It was renamed to changealways in a later version, you can delete changeaways from your estoreitems table if it exists.

1) Its a Code Modification.
2) Its using only the global setting for it, it wont work if the imagecost is different per attachment.
3) It also modifies a template.

#1 and #2 are stopping me from incorporating that, #3 is doable easily though.

Also, where do I put the points into the bank?

GREAT mod by the way from what I've seen on other sites. Got my vote already :)

The bank is unser Points Options.

Just modify the template edit for MEMBERINFO, its that easy. Where it says $gift[message] remove that part and fix it up to your liking.

The code to insert in memberinfo template is that:

PHP Code:


		
			
            <if condition="$vboptions['ebux_enabled']">

            <div class="fieldset">

                <table class="tborder" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

                <thead>

                    <tr align="center">

                        <td class="thead"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('pointsmode')"><img id="collapseimg_pointsmode" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_pointsmode].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>$vbphrase[ebux_name] $vbphrase[ebux_points]</td>

                    </tr>

                </thead>

                <tbody id="collapseobj_pointsmode" style="">

                    <tr>

                        <td class="alt1">

                            <div><a href="estore.php?do=donate&amp;userid=$userinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[ebux_points]</a>: $userinfo[points]</div>

                            <div>$vbphrase[ebux_bank]: $userinfo[bank]</div>

                            <div>$vbphrase[ebux_total_points]: $userinfo[totalpoints]</div>

                        </td>

                    </tr>

                </tbody>

                </table>

            </div>

            </if>

            

            <if condition="$show['gifts']">

            <div class="fieldset">

                <table class="tborder" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

                <thead>

                    <tr align="center">

                        <td class="thead" colspan="4"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('usergiftsmode')"><img id="collapseimg_usergiftsmode" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_usergiftsmode].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>$vbphrase[estore_gifts]</td>

                    </tr>

                </thead>

                <tbody id="collapseobj_usergiftsmode" style="">

                    <tr>

                        <td class="tcat"></td>

                        <td class="tcat">$vbphrase[estore_sender]</td>

                        <td class="tcat">$vbphrase[estore_message]</td>

                        <td class="tcat"><if condition="$show['candelete']">$vbphrase[estore_delete]</if></td>

                    </tr>

                    $userinfo[gifts]

                </tbody>

                </table>

            </div>

            </if>

I didnt found any $gift[message].

I dont understad the 99% of php code. I think the "trick" is in the $userinfo[gifts] that may be the phrase o whatever that shows the image, sender and messagge.

I only want to show the image.

Thank u.

You'll have to modify the plugin for member_complete to accomplish that as well as the template edit. I wish I had more time to explain, but look at the plugin for member_complete and you should see some stuff like <td>$gift[message]</td>, etc..

To make it unlimited you have to change the Default Quantity to 0, not the "current" Quantity to 0.

Thanks in advance for all the answers and helps.

Slight bug, will be fixed in v1.1.8.

The attachemnt cost thing. Its cool, but i don't really care for the redirect to the store to purchase it ect.. Is there anyway it could be set up like this?

Member clicks on attachment, a popup comes up giving them the option of purchasing attachment for set price, yes or no. they click yes, they veiw the attachment and it automatically takes the points, they click no, the popup just goes away and back to the page. Maybe even do this via AJAX?

Also, woul dit be possible to have it where once a member clicks an attachment once, they do not have to pay for it again?

Thanks.

This needs more research, but it might be possible. If someone can find out a way to do this, I will incorporate it.

I'm also trying to integrate it with v3arcade to make it give you a certain amount of points for becoming the new champion, and substantially less, but still some, for making it into the top 10 (but not being champion), and I'm also trying to figure out how to make it cost points to play particular games...

But all this aside, I'm new to vB, so It's taking me a bit to get accustomed to.

Nice hack :-)

I'm not familiar with all of vB's settings, but I think there is a setting under Forums Manager?

As far as v3arcade goes, John is going to implement the things needed to be compatible with eBux in the next build on March 12th, 2006, stay tuned!

I edited that. I don't actually know how to do it (if you can't tell by the crappy font).

Yes, that should be doable. In the template that displays there, try $userinfo['points'] and it should show there, if not, try $vbulletin->userinfo[points]...

In the Admin CP, eBux Options.

Does the user have any usergroups that say "overrides settings" enabled?

In fact, I'm not getting this to show in my postbits either:

Any suggestions???

Dont use $post[points], use $userinfo[points] or $vbulletin->userinfo[points] maybe.

If you can find a better solution without a Code Hack and I'll implement it. I was looking for it a while back and didnt come up with anything.

There is a bug in the XML import script for v1.1.7: To fix the lottery daily time, goto Manage Lotteries, for the end date for the Daily Lottery, enter the value 1, then goto Scheduled Tasks and click on Run Now next to the Process eLottery cron task and it will be fixed to work daily.

Assuming RPG Inferno has a variable where u can change the points table field, it would be hella easy. If not, maybe u could try changing the points table field for ebux and see if it "likes" RPG Inferno enough to work properly :)

I'll see about adding a setting for this as well, but the points will always be the same, no matter what subscription was chosen I think, if thats ok, I'll go ahead and add this feature.

-CMX

The only thing I would like to see is withdrawl tax from the bank.

But still a kick ass hack. :)

Because then everyone here would exploit it. As above, the author knows about it know.

$vbulletin->userinfo[points] or userinfo[points] in navbar isn't working for me. $vbulletin->userinfo[points] gives me "Array" while userinfo[points] gives me a blank.

ok l2 requests don't know if it was requested yet

but here i go

1. Is it possible to make an option for a pm when some-one tried to steal successfully or not

2. Is it possible to make the estore options in rows and collums instead of squares (don't know how to explain in english.) but then you won't have to scrol so much.

sort of forum home view i hope you understand what i mean with this...

And again thnx for all the support it really made my forum more active :)

It's not given people that have had their birthday today any points, nor yesterday

Try $bbuserinfo[points] and see if that works.

Yes and no, could do an option for it to be on/off, but also if the thief only tries to steal 1 or 2 points at a time JUST to flood someone with messages....

An exploit I've seen on my board...

A user would post the max characters allowed in a post, then edit it with his real post.

Oh, and CMX, this is your notice of that. :)

Another request ...

a user earns points for uploading a profile photo but gets charged loads for removing it.

To prevent spam, changing the photo does nothing.

This will probably be mended in the next update :P

i figured out why the links don't work for me. I was using IE 7.0 beta. It's not compatible. Works great on Firefox.

First, let me say "I love this addon"!! Thank you.

Is there a way to change the name of the points from "points" to "whatever I want to call them?

I think I have found another bug. When adding reputation to a user, if you set it to give points for that, it doesn't work.

[s]Also, when ever I try that userinfo['points'], it gives me this error

Quote:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/artisans/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3537) : eval()'d code on line 48

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

However, if I take out the '' around the points, it doesn't say that, it just doesn't work. Am I supposed to close it off somehow?[/s] I got that to work with the bbuserinfo[points]

Anyway, I was wondering if there is any way to make it so that if a user changes his user title, he can do anything, like use bb code, italic it, etc. I don't like the fact that they have to buy 3 different things to do something that should be done in 1.

Quote:

It works on my test forum at http://www.ps2hits.com/forums/

Does the user have any usergroups that say "overrides settings" enabled?

Where do I find that? I have checked everything else. Access masks is enabled and when I go to that users access masks, I see that access to that forum has been set to no.

My default setting for access to that forum is set to yes. That is ok right? Because the user access masks that gets set to no after the ban access purchase should override it correct?

REUWEST - can there be a facility so the winners of the lottery can be notified at all?

just asking, as i won the daily one onmy place yesterday, but i cant see any notification anywhere on the board....

PM would be good, altho others then wouldnt know who had won it.
mebbe something that could be set up so a standard post would automatically go into a forum of admins choosing??...(ie..in a lottery section)....giving date, lottery name, and winning amount?

just a thought.

Question, what would be the phrase to find the payment for threads and posts per forum. I was thinking something like

$bbforuminfo[points_thread] or something. But I am pretty sure that is wrong.

This is known and has no real fix. The only way around it is to turn off the points per character or if CMX codes in a "Max Points for Points per Character" that you can set in the admincp. It will suck for those that truly do have a long post, but for those trying to scheme more points, they would probably get frustrated and give up if it was set to 5 or 10 points.

I also hope admins don't have that set any higher than .01 because if you do, you are just asking for trouble. I tested it with it set to .1 and had a very lengthy post that was legit and ended up with over 2000 points for the post.

I just want to say thanks to the designers of this great project and everyone who is helping! My users love it!!

Yes admin settings are set for can access eStore at all, the same settings that I have also as the other admin. He can and has access to every part of the board, arcade, galley, petz, etc but cannot get into eStore.

Hey, i have done exactly that, its not to hard either.

Languages & Phrases > Search in Phrases >

Search for text: Points
Search in...: Phrase Text and Phrase Variable Name

Then change 'ebux_points' to what ever you want it to be
and same with 'ebux_total_points'

You will still need to change like estore item descriptions, so they say 'xxxxx' (where xxxxx = your currency field name you just changed) instead of 'points'.

Should work!:ermm:

Is there any way in the store, to change it so that when it displays the price of an item, it doesn't just say "8". I want it to say 8 (point name).

Also, is there any way that I could get this?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

And I found a bug. I have it set so that adding reputation adds .01 points, but it doesn't add. Just thought I would point that out.

EDIT: I also just realized that if someone posts, and that posts gets deleted, they don't loose the points they gained from that.

Hi

I aint quite sure what to do here...

I thought i have sorted this so that i can use the ebux for VBookie
I am sure vbookie used ucash but i am now seeing vcash

PNG's show up just fine in IE for me. Make sure the user is using the latest version of IE (not beta 7 version) and that you have given them access.
