Great thanks. I'm sure the members here will appreciate seeing that postbit count xml in the first post. I really didn't want to have to wade through the thread again for it when I'm ready to install this!


I'm sure this has been asked and answered, but I'm too lazy today to look. :rolleyes:
Can you add more gift folders and gifts in them?

Yea for the next version ill add more gifts ;)

Feature Request:
Can we charge for items with VBCredits?


Thanks

VJ

just upgraded to 3.7.4 pl1 and everything still works...

Good job!

This mod is going to be perfect for what I was looking for. I didn't want a complicated system with lots of points and credits and stuff....just something where folks can send a little 'gift' to each other. :D

My question is...looks like these images have a white background. Does anyone have them with a dark background or transparent that I could use for my site?

Go to facebook gifts and get the images from there muhaha 666
they are transperant and png high quality

Great suggestion! ;)

Thank you sir! :D

Anyone have the bottles of beer included in this mod transparent? I went to Facebook but couldn't find those beers there.

This mod is very cool...dare I say, it ROCKS! :D

Well you can change background color of the bottles using photoshop if u want.

Glad you like it ;)

I have a set of gifts with black background, I will include them on the new version for 3.8, but if you need them PM me an email where I can send a zip file

PM sent Christian! :D

Edited: How can you edit the 'background color' (sort of that yellowish background) when someone doesn't have a 'gift' yet?

Christian, in this profile....

http://www.glamrocktalk.com/member.php?u=3

....you'll notice that you can't read the 'send gift' and other links at the bottom. Are those in black only? How can we make those links take on the color of the actual text being changed with the customized profiles?

BUMP. I came home from work today and had 30 odd VB error emails all related to this same error. I'm getting my email box flooded at the moment on a regular basis.

Please help!!! :confused::confused::confused:

It is on ALT2 the same as the other small blocks, I see on the friends list and all other boxes you have the same problem, just change on AlT2 a brighter color, know what I mean?

Im not sure really why this would be happening to you, if everything is as described then another product might be causing this problem. Did you try to remove it and see if everything works correct, and then try to re add the plugin?

For folks using this mod....what do your members give themselves gifts for? Just wanted some suggestions so that I can pass on some of those suggestions onto my members. :D

:D not necesary man but just to keep the facebook tradition, that can be removed easily though, just to remove the conditionals on that send gift button

We can't add our own?

This would be great if one, the gifts could show in the postbit and two, if we didn't have to manually upload each gift and name it...if you have a lot of gifts, it would be tedious to have to create the categories...

Yes, you can add your own Peggy! I've done it. :D

I agree Aurora, if there was a different way to upload the gifts, it would be better. And, I think that a postbit option to show the gifts (or a couple at least) would be cool as well. :)

Yes, everything works fine when its disabled/uninstalled, so its definitely an issue with the plugin - somebody was reporting the same problem before with it, so I am not alone.

Thats what Im saying... its so easy to make your own, just google image what you want, crop it down to 70X70 and upload it. Hardly worth bothering the coder to do something so simple.

is there a way to show the gifts, each one on the postbit? can you give me a code i can make this happen please? i really need them to show on postbit_legacy

thanks!!!

Found a minor bug:

If PM inbox of the gift recipient is full the gift will fail, having looked at the code it seems that this was thought about but not implemented correctly:

Original Code (gifts.php)
Updated Code (gifts.php)
I have marked the changes in bold

EDIT 1:
Also, although it would be great to show gift count in postbit the suggestion made is a really bad idea, especially if you have a busy forum. If you use this hack it will increase your SQL query calls dramatically as an additional query will be made for every member that has posted in a thread every time that thread page is displayed.

EDIT 2:
Just spotted that one of the templates is not being cached:

Original Code (gifts.php):

Updated Code (gifts.php):
Changes in bold

Thanks for the tips Mr Eyes! :D

Chris, you might want to adjust and reupload that gifts.php file for future folks using this mod.

^ It won open the link when you click on My Gifts with that fix

Christian, which fix causes that? I just noticed that error message myself.

Is it the $do and $doit, one?

Should we do the other fix for the cache though?

Odd, seems to be working fine on my site.

Which one of the two fixes? The template or the PM permissions?

Also whats the error you see?

EDIT 1: If it is the template fix it might be the comma that needs to be added after 'gifts_list_row_break'. Although I made it bold it wasn't immediately obvious it needed adding, so I have changed the post to mark the changes in red.

Oh I see, the ( , ) Now I see, Ill try it and update the php file, thanx for your help man :up:

Yea now it worked fine.. What about that issue of the Postbit Gift count?
What do you mean, needs to be corrected or it will be an issue for busy forums?

Chris, what do we have to do to upgrade? Just overwrite the gifts.php file?

Ops yea just upload the gift.php file. Ill put that on the update too

Good news

The way the postbit hack works is to perform a query every time vbulletin builds a postbit, this query retrieves the count of gifts that the person (relevant to that postbit) has made. By default a typical thread will display 15 posts, so that is 15 additional queries (assuming that there are at least 15 post). However it is possible for members to configure anything between 5 & 40. So that is alot of extra queries.

Unfortunately right now I can't offer an alternative as everything I have looked at requires considerable reworking

Well, I suppose I am not going to get any support for this, so I have no choice but to uninstall it.

Yea, sorry but I have no idea what could be causing that issue, it is obviously another hack wich is crashing with it, it works on all other sites.
Besides that as MrEyes was saying it will add alot of queries using that postbit hack, better if you wait for a better release of this plugin.

thank you for sharing this :] any other cool [.gif] gifts that we can use?

i removed the gift count in postbit legacy and my site is still very slow when your plugin is enabled. memory goes up instantly to over 80% on my dedicated server, and also server load goes from normal under 5.00 to crazy over 55% used up.

actually it might be the "activity modification" causing this ..

just for that plugin?

what does the new gifts.php do?

It would be easier if you showed an example of where the "(<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[gifts]</a>) gifts" should go you know?

you can put it anywhere in your postbit under the age,post count it's really up to you

search for i think its $post[age]
