patrickstar,

access your URL in your browser to rebuild the bitfields.
Here's an example:

yoursitename.com/forums/admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

OK now i know for later, but i actually was able to fix it by just disabling the xml product and re-enabling it. it let me set the permissions then.

thanks for the reply, man what a 2hr headache, lol. but it sure is nice once its running right.

Yeah patrick, it is a very nice hack indeed... now we just need an upgrade for vb3.6 and I'll be very happy!

i dont recall anywhere in the thread if someone mentioned that the event maker can also bet on his own event, we dont want that right? or do we?

and also, i changed to max bet allowed. but was asked if the event maker had the option to set the max bet, not a universal max bet.

anyone know these questions i would appreciate any help.

Yes I have done all that, I have set a forum up specifically for the bookies and set all the permissions up in there, but still don't see an option to add a new event unless I am missing something, any help is appreciated

Thanks

ok try this. go to manage products and disable the vbookie. then enable it.

then go to your usergroup permissions and set the three bookie options to yes for admin. now save. now go back and see if those three options were actually saved.

if they were, then go to the forum permissions and edit for the bookie forum. go to admin and edit. and set the three bookie options to yes and save. then go back and see if they actually did save.

if yes, thry starting a thread in your bookie forum, towards the bottom of the page you should have an option to create an event.

i only see 7 instances in the file. and can i just edit the file on my server?

thanks

i think so but having a backup would be better.

gotcha, good idea.

using the phrase manager i changed my reputation to karma, but i should still change vbookie_cash to reputation right?

because i changed vbookie_cash to reputation, and it displays the amount of vcash equal to the amount of karma i have but it did not deduct from the karma when i betted n an event.

is that the place you make changes for this to work with reputation?

Thanks for that, it worked :)
