Buy Me A Beer Mod?

Before I came over to Vbulletin I used to run a "Snitz" forum. Although they are not as updated as Vbulletin is, they have some pretty cool mods, one is "Buy Me a Beer" mod. After Googling that mod, I can find that several other forums have this particular mod as well. That is, all except for VBulletin. I was wondering if anyone knew of a Vbulletin "Buy Me A Beer" mod or would be willing to create one. I myself have absolutely no PHP coding experience and have tried but I can't quite create the mod.

Anyways, I was just hoping someone would want to take this one on. It seems that there are quite a few Vbulletin forum admins that would like to see this mod.

I've been looking for something like this also, not sure if anything can be adapted for Vbulletin. I've uploaded 2 zips of the above mod one for SMF and another which was for Wordpress, can anyone have a look see if they can adapt it for VBulletin.

Would make a great mod to get members to join:cool:

And i'll be able to buy you a beer ;)

Can you please explain how the "Buy Me A Beer" mod works? I don't feel like googling it right now .. but probably can code it. Let me know.

Introduction
Allows users to reward other users for their posts by buying them a beer (or at least donating enough money via Paypal to buy one).

Where the user has entered their paypal address, A 'beer glass' icon appear in the poster information area of users posts. The alt text when hovering over the icon states 'Buy Me A Beer Through Paypal' [must be logged in to see] and when clicked takes the user to the paypal page.

Doesn't sound too hard.. :)
So basically it's donating money to other users with a paypal entered in their user profile field?
Seems it would be something like this ...

HTML Code:

<if condition="$post[fieldX] 

                      && $post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid] 

                      && $show['member']">

<a href="$paypal_addr_with_email"><img 

      src="/path/to/beer.gif" border="0" alt='Buy me a beer through PayPal' 

      /></a>

</if>

That's the main code right there.. just have to have a profile field for it. :p

Thats super CodingMonkey, i don't suppose you want to release this as a mod???

i've uploaded the beer.gif and coffee.gif (for those that don't drink ;) ) for their postbit

*I'll buy you a beer :D

CodingMonkey, you really underestimate the importance and consequences of such a simple and maybe trivial addon. It was such a large hit in the blogging scene. Love it or hate it, but this is really the next big thing people are keen on.

I bet one beer that this addon would make you MotM in no time - at least. :)

cool. Thanks guys. Can't wait to implement this. I have been looking for this in Vbulletin for a VERY LONG TIME! Thanks again. UKBusinessLive: I am also uploading to my site a "Root Beer" because we have users that don't drink.

I'll install it on Wordpress and see what I can make of it. (Or snitz for that matter)
I'm sure it's not that hard. Not even vBulletin challenges me with all it's classes and such.. =)

UKBusinessLive: I'd be happy to release it as a mod. Have nothing else to code besides a forum software (about 5% complete cause I'm lazy luls.)
