A bunch of people asked about how users can track their own sports pool activity. One person mentioned PMs. This should do the trick:

*HOW TO AUTOMATICALLY PM SPORTS POOL WINNERS*

Open sportspool.php and find:

PHP Code:

<?php

...at the very top. Add this below it:

PHP Code:

function sendWinnerPM($eventname, $outcome, $userid, $amountWon, $originalBet)
{
    global $vbulletin;
    require_once('includes/class_dm.php');
    require_once('includes/class_dm_pm.php');

    $botpermissions['adminpermissions'] = 1;
    $host['userid'] = 1;
    $host['username'] = "USERNAME";
    $recip = fetch_userinfo($userid);
    $recipname = $recip['username'];
     $message = "
        $recip[username],

        You have just won \$$amountWon in the Sports Pool.

        [b]Original Bet:[/b] \$$originalBet
        [b]Event Name:[/b] $eventname
        [b]Winning Outcome:[/b] $outcome
    ";

    $pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_SILENT);
    $pmdm->set('fromuserid', $host['userid']);
    $pmdm->set('fromusername', $host['username']);
    $pmdm->set_info('receipt', false);
    $pmdm->set_info('savecopy', false);
    $pmdm->set('title', "Sports Pool Payout");
    $pmdm->set('message', $message);
    $pmdm->set_recipients($recipname, $botpermissions);
    $pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
    $pmdm->set_info('overridequota', true);
    $pmdm->save();
} 


Be sure to replace these variables in the above code with your own info:
$botpermissions['adminpermissions'] = your admin userid;
$host['userid'] = userid of PM sender;
$host['username'] = "username of PM sender"; (leave the quotes)

Then find:

PHP Code:

if($result == $outcome['outcomeid'])
    $share = $outcome['totalbets'];
$total += $outcome['totalbets']; 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

if($result == $outcome['outcomeid'])
{
    $thisOutcome = $outcome['outcomename'];
    $share = $outcome['totalbets'];
}
$total += $outcome['totalbets']; 


Finally, find:

PHP Code:

$query = "UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET $cashtype = $cashtype + $w WHERE userid = $u";
$db->query($query); 


Add below:

PHP Code:

sendWinnerPM($eventname, $thisOutcome, $u, $w, $b); 


This will send a PM out to the winner(s) of each event that doesn't result in a draw. It will be executed when the event is settled in the sports pool section of the casino.

Sample PM:

username,

You have just won $250 in the Sports Pool.

Original Bet: $50
Event Name: Baseball Game
Winning Outcome: Yankees
