Please do not ask me about support and/or updates - there will be none.
weird, I just uploaded your file to my site and it works just fine.. limits the bet amount to 100 (since you set it at 100)....
Well, that is weird... and I didn't change it, it was set at 1000, not 100. The only other change that I done was the Create the Phrase, as you instructed.
Remember, I am using vbcredits... are you using that on your site? After I uploaded the file, I attempted to edit a past created football bet I set up weekes ago... and I got that same error. So I replaced that vbookie.php with the original and it allowed me to edit that bet. So it is something about that line and that file... and those settings with my site.
Incidently, I am not sure why but I have a few other issues with vbookie, but I can live with them... One of them is... I have to edit any bets that I setup in the past and check their settings. Something is changing the time and date of the settings... so I have to check it either the day before or right before the game. It happens sporadically, but more times than not. Also, if I set the bet to close at 1pm on a certain day, my program closes that whole morning... I just tell me members to enter your bets at least the day before, otherwise it is closed. It is like it doesn't care what the time is... just the day.
Again, I can live with those issues... I really need this betlimit corrected. Is there anything else you can help with this... I am using vb 3.6.8 and vbcredits 1.4RC1...
So can someone tell me exactly where to go to set what usergroups can post vBookie Events
Man, have you even looked at the usergroups settings before posting? It is clearly stated in the each usergroup. Pull up the usergroup you want to allow and scroll down to the "vbookie event permissions". Under that... "Can post vbookie events". Set that to yes.
I am a little confused... why or what is the issue that you can't install it?
I'd be willing to help you install it (I see you are using vb 3.6.8), but wouldn't support it after that. I think if you are having issues installing it, you will have issues setting bets up and control them. I don't have time for that... maybe someone else has that time.
May I suggest to follow the instructions for installation... make the proper edits for vb.3.6.8. and create a forum that only the admin can access for your bets. Then setup an event by posting in that forum, select vbookie in the bottom menu.. and presto! I added an item in the navbar for everyone to access... so they can see bet results and stats...
IS there a reason in particular that the vBookie permisions in the usergroups, do not seem to matter? We have regular members posting events and resolving them in cases where they really shouldn't be. We've made it so they can not create new ones or edit others, but for wahtever reason those premissions are bypassed and anybody even a brand new user can create a new vBookie.
Any idea? Version of vBookie is 1.0.7. vB being 3.6.8
Sorry Dude.... The last thing I was helping you with worked on my site. I'm not sure what else to say/check. Maybe the individual that wrote it can provide some insite on what it might be conflicting with.
This is one of my favorite hacks and I WISH the author would either release the code to let other developers take over and expand it/re-write it or start getting involved in it again and expand on it himself.... I don't see either happening however.
