Looks nice. On your buy now page on your site which is still up. It says it will not work if you have a table prefix (which I do). Is this fixed now?

Thanks for releasing it here.

How about adding it to postbit so people can see their gifts in postbit (preferably right above their signatures) ?

Yay! I'll be testing this out later on my textvb

Judging by the screen shot, your profile layout is different. How would this show on the default skin?

EDIT: Or won't it?

installed but i have nowhere to add gifts in admin panel or set permissions in user groups. I am fairly certain my vbulletin doesnt have a table prefix set.

same admincp issue here

this is what i have in my config file:

so i presume that means i dont have a prefix? I am using 3.7.0 :)

Attached more screenshots of what should be the admincp for gifts.

Yea, if you didnt set any should work perfect.

its not working perfectly, i dont have the admin cp gifts section, nor the ability to set permissions. All files were uploaded to the correct place, i have checked and rechecked. Tried uninstalling product then reinstalling. Everything else is displaying but the gifts section in the admin panel and the user group permissions

I really dont see why It wouldnt, this never happened before on any of my sites.
I have 3.7.0 and no table prefix and it always worked perfect.

Did you refresh the browser or on the includes folder are the 2 files there?

Hello

the first part i have. (the Vboptions style one), the part under users and the part in usergroups doesn't show. i tried it on my main and Testvb to no affect sadly

its a very good mod though from what i've heard, i hope it can be made to work :)

same here, no usergroup permissions or admincp section

same problem like in few posts above .... have vb 3.7.3

reg

macc

I have a problem

When I click on Give a gift link:
AND, installed but I have nowhere to gifts options in admin panel under the User options.

everything is definately uploaded as it should be. I notice it doesnt install the product with the product name, it misses out the capitals so installs ys1_ifts instead. I dont know if that has anything to do with it, probably not!

very cool thanks. (you love you some facebook hehe) :up:

same problem with adding gifts not visible in adminCP

Same as others, no gifts in the admin cp.

waiting for a fix and then ill install :)

Works great for me :)

The missing admin menu can be easily fixed. Open the file cpnav_gifts.xml, located in includes/xml/

Find: And Replace With:

OR upload the attached file to includes/xml/


The Gifts menu will then appear in the admin CP between Users and Usergroups.

it is work for me, thanks

That does work. Would you know why it isn't showing up to enable for group permissions?

Group permission isn't appear now ,

**********************************

fixed!

upload the attached file to includes/xml/

I never even checked for that one. Thanks! :)

Nice hack but why are you limiting it by saying..

So doesn't work for me, as my config.php file has a table prefix.

Please provide a fixed verson for this issue also.

thanks.

for those with prefix : you might be able to hard code the database name (yourself) in the files (php and product)

Thats one alternative

Is there anyway of integrating this with vbcredits?

Thank you ;)

Im terribly sorry for missing that part, I uploaded a new zip file fixed.
Thanx again for letting me know

An easy mistake to make. Thanks for releasing it. :)

this would be great if it could be implemented with vbcredits were it would charge you forum credits to send gifts

thanks for the release, looks great!

I was thinking of a similar idea, but instead of buying credits, it'd be more like using postcounts to enable gifts - eg. you make 10 posts, it unlocks something. At 15 posts, it unlocks something else (something better and worth more in real life) and so on...

I'll probably just end up modifying the script later this week to suit my board. I've got no use for credits, so encouraging posting would be far more useful for me.

This idea/mod has gone down very well with my staff, so thanks again, Chris. :)

With vbcredits it would be great!

installed it but getting data base error on every option but setting.i am using 3.7.3

Invalid SQL:

SELECT
gift_type.gifttypeid, gift_type.title, gift_type.description,
gift_type.image, gift_type.active, gift_type.categoryid,
gift_categories.title AS categorytitle
FROM vb_gift_type
LEFT JOIN vb_gift_categories AS gift_categories ON gift_type.categoryid = gift_categories.categoryid
ORDER BY categoryid DESC;

MySQL Error : Table '******_db.vb_gift_type' doesn't exist

Read the note on the install instructions on this thread, sorry at this time it wont install if you have a table prefix.

Or even real money like facebook does it. Like have some free ones and some that cost $1.
