I followed these instructions and it worked fine. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=2152

Just need to do what it says and it will work.

My only question, Dartho, is that it doesn't say "vBookie" directly to the left of the link. I'm not sure if this is intentional but I've seen this on all installations on bookie, except mine.

Any ideas?

That happens in the vBookie: Thread Prefix and Icon plugin which s on the threadbit_process hook. Check that it is enabled and if you have other plugins on the same hook.

Try changing it's execution order to 10

We have done all the changes said but still when posting a new topic it wont redirect us to Vbookie.

It was enabled and I changed the execution order to 10 and it didn't fix it.

Okay i think we have everything set up, but only one problem, when i go to give Admins permission to use Vbookie, after i save it, it just goes back to no permissions.

Okay fixed this problem but now im back to the original problem. I cant post an event, it just wont let me, it goes to my normal thread.

Can anyone help?

Is there a way vbookie events can be added to existing threads?

Yeah you can do this by going to the URL
vbookie.php?t=xxxxx&vbookieeventoptions=0&do=newev ent
where xxxxx is the threadid of the trhead you wish to add an event to

hmm well I'm using vbseo on my forums, which changes the url makeup.

i.e) http://webaddress.com/general-discussions/6743-threadtitle.html

hmm well thats nice. Your threadid in the example you posted is 6743

I have this running on my 3.8 board, it works, but with issues.
Single & Multiple Events can be created without issue & Thread is also created without issue.
When settling events is when I get database errors every time about Duplicate Keys.
Are these caused by the same member betting more then one event? If so, how can this be corrected.

Also, when deleting an event on the vbookie main page, then the thread, the Bookie News & Events Section on the main vbookie page still shows the event I just removed.
This has to be manually removed via database.
What can be done to have it remove the event from the Bookie News & Events Section on the main vbookie page when the proper steps were taken to remove an event.
================================================== ======

Also, on the main vbookie page in the Bookie News & Events Section, After bets have been settled, each event only shows one winner & how much he/she won....how can I expand it to show more winners of each event?

I did not read through every page of this thread, but I did search for Duplicate Entery & looked through many pages to find a remedy.
Thank you in advance.

so how the hell do you give new users a default amount of vcash??

I may be wrong, but asking a different way just might help & maybe searching through this thread you just might find the answer.
Top right side, Search this modSearch for changing default vcash.

did your suggested search. found 3 people asking the same question and they were either ignored or confronted with similar snide responses as yours.

if you don't know, just say so.

Edit the default value of vbookie_cash in your DB.

Something like

ALTER TABLE user CHANGE COLUMN vbookie_cash vbookie_cash BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED NULL DEFAULT 10000;

should do it. Change 10000 to whatever, and add a tableprefix to "user" if you have one

Getting database error after i passed this query. I edited the xml file and set my default vCash :)

edited xml and reinstalled and it didn't work :confused:

So, I read on the first post about the fact that this mod does not work for 3.6+ but see other sites that are running 3.7 and 3.8 using it.

Is there one 'all stop shop' posting or several posts that will make it functional with 3.8?

I'm going to start looking through the 160 pages to find the info, but I'd appreciate the help if anyone knows the key to get this working properly :D

By the way, I'm surprised that no one has taken this one over as it is a pretty popular hack / mod for sports-related sites.

hey dartho... just getting around to this now. I'm trying to add a bookie event to an existing event using the url you provided.

However, when I try to go to this page I get a message saying I don't have permission to access this page. (Not sufficient privileges to access this page?) but I am the admin.

Any ideas about this?

Any ideas?

Kind of stupid question, but did you set up permissions in ACP? Go to ACP and click usergroups select admin and make sure post events, and all that are checked?

is there a log for vbookie to see who settled a bet. We had a moderator settle a bet wrongly but no one will own up to it.

I've already disabled anyone but admin settling bets but would like to get to the bottom of this.

I've searched this thread but not found anything, any help is appreciated.

bump for help :)

there are no logs for vbookie

Installed and got it working fine on vb3.8.5

Just wondering if you have any update on the odss ?

Taken from this post :

cheers

There's a casino mod that has that kind of betting.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=159151

But i want it to work for this mod, I do not plan on using that mod

cheers

Giving this a try with 3.8.6 and it seemed to be working okay. I was able to create an event but it says I can't bet on it.

I have everything set to "yes" in usergroup. I rebuilt the bit fields.

Also: clicking the betting stats produces a database error.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Update: Got it working and it was functioning fine until this morning. Now, when I got into vBookie, I get the following:

Any ideas?

I know its not supported in version 3.6+ but mine had been working grand and only discovered today that it has stopped due to my bookie not updating the bets.

If anyone can help me get it working again I would appreciate the help.

I can create events ok but get the following message

You may not bet on this event. You have placed 0 bet(s) on this Event.

I have followed what I can from previous posts with no joy.

Thanks

Someone asked me to post the vbookie files I have running successfully on my 3.8.6 site. Here they are. There is no support or warranties with these - they work for me and they might for you, or they might not. As always, backup first.

thanks once again. Will give it a try on a test board and see how it goes. :)

I've got the 3.8 version running and have a quick question:

Is it right that the amounts that my members are posting are meant to go onto my overall total?

I myself had a limit of 500 like the others but now have over 3000.....

yes - thats how I had it set up. when you settle a book, all the winnings comes out of the the bookmakers account - kinda like a real bookie

Thanks for getting back to this.

Ok, so I have all my members original stakes, but when I settle the bets, where will the winnings come from - that overall amount?

Apologies if this has been answered before - first time using this on our board.

...

I have been using this since it was posted & my members love it.
I took it a step further and used Article Forums by Banana Live to expand it a bit.
I also used Easy Forms by Banana Live to add a request vcash link for members to request more vcash when they run out & added it to the vbookie header template.

If you want to do the same, you will need to install Article Forums by Banana Live , do a whole lot of phrase changes & add the vbookie header template contents to the af_articles_alt template just below the opening table.
I use them both on a few vb sites & then added them both to my I am bored & created another live test site, site.
You may have to register to view,...I like the added touch.

Demo:http://blind-eddie.com

I added a link to it in the navbar & edited the vbookie header with a link to the events forum as well.

I just wish the successor of this mod would show a bit more support & maybe add a few things to this for all the 3. whatever users that are out there....Long live 3.8.....

That's a cool way to display the events Blind-Eddie. :up:

You can take it a step further and have the vbcredits be your 'cash' and then when your members run out of 'cash' they can purchase more credits via the paid PayPal mod with vBcredits. :D

Yes, I could do that but, Free is the key word here...If I were to charge to play, I would have an empty board. Plus I believe Paypal may frown down at the idea.

Morning,

So I just settled my first lot of bets, and everyones totals all seem to have updated fine...

...Apart from my own.

I don't know whether it's because I'm the Bookie and I've kept the losses of everyone else, but I've now got a total of 18446744073709539756. There were a couple of 50/1 shots that didn't fare so well but surely that number is incorrect.

Any help would be appreciated.
