Predefined Gifts versus Custom Gifts
When using the Administrative Control Panel you can setup two defined groups. First are your standard selection of gifts. These can be applied to users who want to purchase a gift for themselves or for someone else. You can add new gifts besides the premade ones by selecting from the customized gift template group.
The second group is the Gift template group. The template group is naturally much bigger. Within it, you can set the standard names for a gift, a small description, and the icons. Gifts inside this group are used to create new gifts offered to users (Buy Gift for Self and For Others) AND gifts to be created. A major creation of 1.0.3 and a new gift concept is to allow users to create their own "special gifts" that are not just a standard gift, adding more prestige and allowing for them to earn money on the market since they can only purchase from what other people have made. The nice thing about having a template gift group to choose from is you can still control the images the users can select from.
Create a Gift
Based on the settings the Administrator has set, users will be able to create a gift for a given cost. The gift images will be selected from a predefined custom gift template in the Admin CP to allow for control over the content. Users will be able to select the Gift Name, Description, and Purchase Price. Users will have to pay a hefty fee to create a gift and their are minimum and maximum amounts imposed based off of the usergroup that the can charge. Once posted, the gifts will be viewable on the Gift Market.
Gift Market
Users can purchase access from the Market Features to gain access to the Gift Market. On here, all customized gifts created by other users (many of which are not offered as standard gifts) can be viewed here. The creator of the gift, gift name, purchase price, and description are viewable. You can not purchase custom gifts created by yourself to ensure no one is trying to cheat the system. When a user purchases a gift that money goes to the person who created the gift as a source of revenue. The other feature to the gift market is you can view any customized gifts you have created. This allows you to keep track of gifts that you have sold and gifts that are still on the market.
Give Gifts to Another User
Giving a gift to another user over yourself is the same except reason code is also displayed and when putting your mouse over a gift icon it will say who gave who the gift and why they did.
Yes, all gifts are viewable on the postbit and the memberinfo.
Additional changes to 1.0.3 include donation reason, a few bug and template fixes to work better for smaller resolution sizes, and percentage for stealing item based off of usergroup.
Hopefully that explains it a bit better as I've mentioned all week....1.0.3 is by far the most extensive changes I've done with this hack.
