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!

which setting are you changing specifically?

I'm talking about setting the price

like for gifts - if I charge 0.74 - it resets it. I gotta use a minimum of 1.

Gwynar · #**2283** 02-25-2006, 12:16 AM

CMX_CMGSCCC,

I have another question for you. I haven't tried creating any hacks using the plugin system yet so I don't know if this is possible, but it might be something to look into, if you're also thinking about optimization.

I've read that the plugin system stores all the code into memory, which means that the more plugins you have, the more memory is taken up to store the plugins.

My question to you: would it theoretically be possible for you to dump all the plugins into individual php files that would be contained in a plugins folder, and then referenced? So instead of having the actual code in the plugin system, have them in files.

Just something else to consider...

BTW: This is really a great product.

I know I could probably do this myself, but with the amount of updates you release, it would be a major problem have to do this over and over again.

caimakale · #**2284** 02-25-2006, 12:30 AM

Has anybody talked to the "powers that be" of vb.org and asked them to create a forum for eBux / eStore?

I think it would be great to have areas for bugs, and area for feature requests, etc...That way other coders might be able to get a grip on features people want and can work on addons.

MorrisMcD · #**2285** 02-25-2006, 12:31 AM

As usual... My upgrade went smooth!!!

You rule CMX!!

One small question though.. You said the federal bank is implemented now.. Is it only pulling tax into it for now? I dont see any sign of the new bank itself... It is going to give loans as well, correct? But will only have basically what is paid into through tax? Can we give it like maybe a mil to start with if we prefer?

I am patient though.. If its only in the early stages, that is fine, but I cant find any settings for it.. :shrug:

Another donation on the way in a couple days! You deserve it!! This hack should be pay.. Plain and simple.. Donate if you havent.. Yer gettin a hell of a deal

mikeylikesitz · #**2286** 02-25-2006, 12:32 AM

this is nuts, i download 1.2.0 and go to dinner with the family, get back to find 1.2.1 released. Keep up the great work!!

i had a feature request, would it be possible to allow members to sell items to the store. im thinking along the lines off line type stuff.

lazytown · #**2287** 02-25-2006, 12:49 AM

CMX_CMGSCCC,

Any progress on this?

Thank You!

Great Mod!
Thanks

I'll see about adding a setting for this as well, but the points will always be the same, no matter what subscription was chosen I think, if thats ok, I'll go ahead and add this feature.

I second the dedicated forum idea for Ebux/eStore. As fast as the updates are coming, I am going to need a place to search through.

Feature Request:
1. Paypal Integration- Buy Points
2. Allow users to create mini stores.
3. European FootBall Team Icon's

I HAVE ONE BIG QUESTION:

When I create a FORUM at the bottom what does "Paycheck Amount" Mean? Is that a 1 time payment? is it monthly? so far any users that I have been added to a group with a large paycheck assigned have not recieved any money? When do they get it?

Thanks to anyone who can answer.

I third it!!

Thread is getting too long to even use the search function, time to get some more space.

It shouldnt be in your forum creation, it should ask that in usergroups. IN forums you should have the points per view, reply and post.. then the paycheck in your usergroup settings. To edit it if you wish:

There is a place in Ebux --> Settings where it asks for paycheck interval..

you just set it according to how you want them paid in seconds.

upgraded and working great. thanks!
