vbBux / vbPlaza v1.5.8 (Points + Store System) · **Released**: 02-01-2006

vbBux / vbPlaza v1.5.8 by CMX (http://www.cmgsccc.com)
Official Homepage - http://www.vbplaza.com

v1.5.7 AND HIGHER are now compatible with vBulletin v3.5.x and v3.6.x

Welcome to the largest points/store system for vBulletin! READ THE ENTIRE POST AGAIN AS THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES SINCE THE CONVERSION TO vbBux / vbPlaza!!

Credits: MrZeropage for ibProArcade Support, John for v3 Arcade Support, Caimakale for various additions including ribbons and his other addons for vbPlaza, defi for the addon for Paypal Subscriptions.

New Premium Modification Forum: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=171
If you post a new thread in there, it will be easier to track the answer to your thread folks!

Now with 135 Options for purchasing at your forums and this is still rising folks!

NOTE: As of this version, there is a Template Patcher helper inside the Admin CP. Admin CP -> vbPlaza Maintenance -> Auto Patch Templates, when you run this the first time, it will just list the changes that it has found/not found. If you press Attempt Auto Patches, it will modify the template changes it has found only. It will also modify all styles for your forums. I have tested this on all 3 of my licensed vBulletin production websites and the patches all worked great.

UPDATED MUST READ NOTES:
1) RE-READ THE UPGRADING OR NEW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AS THEY HAVE CHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS!!
2) IF UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION OF eBux / eStore. YOU MUST INSTALL THIS ONE FIRST TO SAVE YOUR SETTINGS. (BUT YOU WOULD KNOW THIS IF YOU READ THE UPGRADING INSTRUCTIONS!! DONT SAY I DIDNT WARN YOU!!)

Branding Free Option
If you have donated in the past, you can get the Branding Free Option for Free by sending CMX a PM on the http://www.vbplaza.com/forums Message Board.
Otherwise, you will need to purchase it by signing up for an account at http://www.vbplaza.com/forums/register.php and then going to http://www.vbplaza.com/forums/payments.php

Features List:
This section has been moved due to its length. Look in the file included insize the zip named features.txt.

Release Notes:
This section will only show the most recent changes. For the rest of the changes, look in the file included inside the zip named changes.txt.

NOTE: If you want ibProArcade, v3 Arcade or vBookie integration now, you'll have to install the appropriate Addon included in the download. The reason for these parts being packaged as Addons, is to make the install a little smaller for users who do not have an Arcade, and because both Arcades cant be installed simultaneously as well. So it saves space only installing the one that you currently have.

v1.5.8 Updates:
1) Bugfix: Quick editing a post with BB Codes, modified the post directly instead of modifying a copy.
2) Bugfix: Some phrases fixed.
3) Bugfix: TABLEPREFIX bug has been fixed.
4) Bugfix: Addon Product XML sheets do not have executionorder in them anymore for vB 3.5 compatibility.

Database Backups Recommended!
Although I have upgraded 3 forums with this script already, it IS recommended that you backup your database before installing this product!!

Upgrading Instructions:
NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR UPGRADING IF YOU HAD A PREVIOUS VERSION OF eBux / eStore INSTALLED!!
1) DO NOT UNINSTALL eBux / eStore (UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOSE ANY AND ALL SETTINGS.)
2) Reupload all of the files in the upload folder to your forum's root folder. Make sure that all files are being overwritten. Do not move on to the next step until all files are transferred successfully!
NOTE: It could take a long time to install if you have a lot of registered users, be PATIENT! It should display the messages as it goes along to let you know that it IS working.
3) After finished with step 2!! Reimport the product-vbbuxplaza.xml file via Admin CP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product. Make sure that Allow Overwrite is set to YES.
4) Refresh the Admin CP and you will see all of the vbBux / vbPlaza Admin CP features at the top.
5) UNINSTALL THE OLD eBux / eStore NOW!! Go to Admin CP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> eBux / eStore -> Uninstall.
6) You can delete all files/folders that have the word estore or elottery in them from the FTP as well.
7) You will need to redo the template edits listed below as almost all of them have changed since the previous eBux / eStore.

If upgrading from a previous version of vbBux / vbPlaza follow these instructions:
1) Reupload all of the files in the upload folder to your forum's root folder. Make sure that all files are being overwritten. Do not move on to the next step until all files are transferred successfully!
2) After finished with step 2!! Reimport the product-vbbuxplaza.xml file via Admin CP -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product. Make sure that Allow Overwrite is set to YES.
3) Refresh the Admin CP and get to checking your settings!
NOTE: You will be happy know that NO templates have been updated from v1.5.0 to v1.5.2!

New Installation Instructions:

So the change someone's avatar or change someone's profile picture is not really useful unless you disable members from being able to change those things themselves in the first place right?

Because if I changed someone's avatar and they was able to change the avatar right back, it wouldn't be worth the purchase.

I just wanna make sure that's how it works.

yes it would play as a joke if they can change it back. but if you have it set to only selected avi's like my forum. then they would have to pay to change it back and so on.

most forums do not give theyre regular users custom avi's. to many member. can you imagine having 5000 members and all custom avis uploaded? so thatswhat this hack is for. any more Q?

leakmob · #**1675** 02-17-2006, 05:00 AM

Hey. Great job on the hack. It installed fine, but the eBux section in the admin didn't turn up. I've tried reimporting the Product, but no luck. Any ideas?

jojo77 · #**1676** 02-17-2006, 05:02 AM

thanks for the quick answer. I do have another question. On the estore page, I'm trying to get the "Ebux" out of the header that says "(My username) Ebux Estore Information"

I searched in phrase manage for the word Ebux but that line doesn't show up for me to edit

thats prob in the estore.php i havent looked for that. if i had more time right now i would but search in the php file for it since you looked in the phrase manager already.

jojo77 · #**1678** 02-17-2006, 05:15 AM

I found a bug. If you give points for everytime views your thread. You can have someone refresh unlimited times in your thread and give you all the money you want.

That's why I wish it was based on replies instead of views. At least we can use flood control to limit it that way.

You can change it in your AdminCP >> Styles & Templates >> Style Manager >> estore_main template.

Look for:

Code:

<span class="smallfont"><strong><a href="member.php?u=$userinfo[userid]">$userinfo[username] $vbphrase[ebux_name] $vbphrase[estore_name] $vbphrase[estore_information]</a></strong></span>

and remove the:

Code:

$vbphrase[ebux_name]

So it looks like:

Code:

<span class="smallfont"><strong><a href="member.php?u=$userinfo[userid]">$userinfo[username]'s $vbphrase[estore_name] $vbphrase[estore_information]</a></strong></span>

Also notice on the above code how I changed:

Code:

$userinfo[username]

to:

Code:

$userinfo[username]'s

So it says "Usernames' eStore Information" now.

Hope this helps.

This is AWESOME! Great work! Thank you very much!

One suggestion. It would be very cool if you could add points for when people that your members refer make posts and other things.

Maybe add:

Points for thread views, creation, replies, and characters posted by people that you refer add points to the member's points?

So, Member A referrs Member B. Member B makes a post. Member B gets points, and Member A also gets whatever the value is set as the person who referred Member B. Does that make sense? It would help encourage referrals and would be a great feature. Thanks in advance if you add it.
