oops, i forgot to upload fix, download the zip and reupload files, no need to reimport product. Thx for reminding me

[ArchangelX]

I'm still very intersted in this mod...some of those additional improvements would be really nice! I encourage you to keep going!

I actually solved my own problem.

Got people going nuts with buying items, making the screen scroll over? This quick fix should solve the problem.

Before doing any code modification, go into your Templates Manager and create a new template. I used the name "ishop_invpostbit_itemreturn".

In that template, you just need to put this:

<br>

Go into the \plugins\inventory.php file.

Find:

foreach ($myitem as $the_item) {

Before that put:

$i = 0;

Find:

eval('$post[invrow] .= "' . fetch_template('ishop_invpostbit_item') . '";');

And after it put:

$i++;
if ($i == 8) {
     eval('$post[invrow] .= "' . fetch_template('ishop_invpostbit_itemreturn') . '";');
     $i = 0;
}

In this snippet of code, the number that $i is set to is the number of items the inventory will display before skipping to the next line. I chose 8 items. You can pick any number you want.

Upload the inventory.php file to the plugins directory and you're set!

You can see this in action at our forum:
http://the-reactor.org/forums

This should work until the developer can come up with a cleaner fix.

I see no real point to this system. I need some type of point system where people can buy things that I make up, then I can view their profile and see what they have bought. So say they want a domain name after getting so many points, so I would like to be able to view their profile, see that they ordered that and then pm them and ask them about what domain name they want for example.

A whole system designed just so little icons could be displayed in the users inventory I think is just a waste of space.

[Blaine0002]

thanks for your thaughts but many people do want this for forums, maybe not buisness based, but community based. you know there are forums like that right?

Well, that's the thing - just because it isn't a fit for your needs doesn't mean it doesn't fit for someone else's.

In the forums I run, they are as Blaine says, more community-building tools than anything else. We don't want them to just be about what the site is about or how to conduct business, but also to be fun too. You're right - there isn't a "point" to the system. It's just a fun little diversion and a way to get people to post more on our forums by earning virtual cash towards items.

You'd be surprised how much "little icons displayed in the user's inventory" is a status symbol. That's how online communities build themselves.

At some point in the future, at least for the forums I linked in my last post, we're looking to move to something more complex like the RPG integration system in the future. We're testing the waters to see how these fun little tools will have a positive effect on our users.

how do i intergrate Isho with vbplaza ?
someone help me

[WiiBeyond]

Hello, my friend has something like this for IPB and he has options that you can allow users to buy special permissions on the boards, such as the ability to delete their own posts and so on. Is it possible to do that with this as well?

[WiiBeyond]

by the way, i was reading frank-kun's post... RPG sounds AWESOME

[Blaine0002]

Im not sure if vbplaza works with anything but vbbux, i am not able to download it, so i can not test it out sorry.

WiiBeyond, This hack will most likely stay as it is, with no additional features being added, just because of its simplicity. Although, you should feel free to contact some coders on this website and request an addon that allows them to do just that
