hi folks,

sorry for sounding like an absolute amateur (that's cause i am one) i have intalled this hack, what to do next , i mean how to use it i have the vbookie on my v bulletin but how to put it to use, where to give it options e.t.c

a step by step guide would be rather nice,
much appreciated.

any clues on where to look when *some* members of a certain group that's allowed to place bets get a "you cannot place bets" message while all other can???

Posting to keep track of where I left off; hoping for a 3.6 that doesn't require modifying php code. (Because that frightens me.)

If you set this to use a specific forum make sure that the forum permisions are set for the usergroups you wish to post or make bets

any idea on what needs to be done for this to work with 3.6.5

[velleybolcu]

there is a problem i think. i write odds as decimals. for exapmle if i my odd is 1,50 then i am writing 15/10 for this. then i bet 10 stake for this odd. when i win it must be 15 total. but it paids the main stake with winned stake. and it paids 25 stake total. do you have any idea for this? what must i do? thanx

[tspepper]

Anyone know of a way to "hide" bets until the even is closed?

basically i dont want people being able to see who bet on what until the event is closed. and i dont want using the private bet feature cause its a pain for mods to see who bet on what after the fact.

To fix this problem, the following plugin must be edited ;


vBookie: Redirect to vbookie.php when posting new Event

Replace the plugin code with this ;

PHP Code:

if ($newpost['postvbookieevent']) 
{ 
    $vbulletin->url = 'vbookie.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "t=$newpost[threadid]&vbookieeventoptions=$newpost[vbookieeventoptions]&do=newevent"; 
    eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_postthanks_moderate', true, false));
} 


Note: I'm not actually using vbookie atm so I can't comment on any other problems.

Maybe I'm having a brain fart but what exactly am I suppose to edit with this code?

Applies to 3.6 only

1) Go into CP;

2) Plugins & Products->Plugin Manager

3) Edit: vBookie: Redirect to vbookie.php when posting new Event

4) Now, copy that code into the Plugin PHP Code text box. Save.

Assuming you followed the instrucitons in readme.txt; have set your permissions in the User Group Manager and Forum Manager and rebuilt your bitfields, you should be able to post a new event to vBookie from a forum thread.

That's as far as I got tonight.

Here is what's odd.. when I set the permissions and try to save them, they don't take.
