what if I do this:
1. pause the forum
2. go to cpanel->phpmyadmin and rename the money field to 'vbookie_cash'
3. change icash settings (admincp->icash->'money row') to 'vbookie_cash'
4. install vbookie
5. activate forum

Unless I'm missing something, this should work, right?

Blaine, you've created an awesome monster here. I remember when you first posted this thread and I was quite excited that there was an easier point system out there. Now, I have to admit that I currently use vbux on my forum but like many other users on here have mentioned before, it is way too "feature rich." One of the few features that I do like is its banking system which would be a great little add-on in ICash those who "choose" to intergrate it to their site. What looks extremely promising to me is the possibility for custom shops. That is what's really going to make this hack reach the top of its game. The only problem I have is if I uninstall vbux and install ICash, do I have to revert the templates? That would really suck if I did, because they are heavily modded with other hacks. I'm going to continue to support this hack and I commend you for your efforts.

Yes armstrong that should work thanks for the info!
but when you remove icash make sure to rename it back or you will get an error.

@chkdgate
what do you mean revert them? there is only 1 template edit for icash right now.

Im not sure how many template edits vbbux has but you might want to undo them
and yes i will be making a bank system.

Awesome!

What I mean by "reverting" is yes, undoing them. I have other mods in those templates which took some time to do so I'm just about ready to install ICash but now I also have to reinstall my other mods as well.

Man I love this hack! *clicks install* bigtime!

[Mr.D]

Thanks a lot for this its simple and great.

Tie this into the contest script, that would be great. Members would be charged X Money to enter a contest. In order to get Money, you have to participate.

What do you mean "remove icash"? I don't intend to remove it (its great!), merely add vbookie, which I'm not even sure of yet.

Blaine, it might be time to start thinking about how to number your updates. We've been on v1.0.0 since day 1, even with all the new features you installed. Just a suggestion; it might be for the best in the long run.

I installed the updated version, and the "Donation and point giving via donation page and postbit!" seems to work as expected. However, we need some sort of mechanism to notify the parties (probably via PM) of the transaction. As well an audit trail so that admin and mods have something to rely on in case of dispute.

Thanks Blaine for all your hard work! This hack is indeed shaping up to be one of my favorites.

[Blaine0002]

thanks! i havent made any actual "updates" yet because it starts to screw with the code, and IMO its just too much work to change a few simple numbers

PMing a user would be an easy thing to add, will do.
