OK, that seemed to have solved that problem. Thank you.

Question: How do you add an event? I goto the vBookie section of my site and do not see any option to add anything. I am admin and I set that usergroup to be able to do it all.

Do I add events only through posting of messages or can it be done through a seperate interface?

Did you put the code in your template files?

And to set a event you must give the forum/section the good premissions.

Go to your admin menu --> Forum and moderators ---> Change premissions for the forum you want to play vbookie. And give the good premission to all the usergroups on your forum.

Hope this will solve your problem

Best regards

OK, it seems I can events through a post, but I see nothing at all in the individual forum properties that have anything to do with vBookie. I see plenty for vbPlaza and vBux but nothing at all for vBookie. Granted, I saw the options in the individual usergroups and have set them appropriately, but I would love to limit vBookie event to only one of my hundreds of forums.

Ideas?

Part 1
AdminCP --> Languages & Phrases --> Phrase Manager --> Add New Phrase

Product: vBookie
Varname: vbookie_max_bet_exceeded
Text: Whoops! Looks like you bet more than 100 bucks. Try again but make sure you bet no more than 100 bucks.

Part 2
In vbookie.php

Find this

PHP Code:

    if ($total_stake > vbookie_get_user_cash())
    {
        eval(standard_error(fetch_error('vbookie_not_enough_cash')));
    } 


After the above, add the following

PHP Code:

    if ($total_stake > 100)
    {
        eval(standard_error(fetch_error('vbookie_max_bet_exceeded')));
    } 


Save vbookie.php

That should do it!

FOR SOME REASON, It cant find the phrase vbookie_max_bet_exceeded

any ideas why?

if you are using vcash, does the members betting, bet against the house or bet against the event creator?

vBookie & 3.6

The posting of vbookie events in 3.6 is broken because the hook used has moved.

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.

I am on 3.6 Beta 4 and this didn't seem to work. Has anyone tried this? Should I upgrade to RC2?

Thanks.

I'm using it with 3.6.0 RC1 & it's working (with Paul M's fix).
