Add-On Releases - vBookie for vBulletin 4

Please See the first post for a F.A.Q.
I will endevour to link to useful posts within this thread there as I spot them. You should check there before posting issues etc.

This is a port of vBookie for vBulletin 3.5 by Andreas which was a port of vBookie - vBulletin Betting Hack by tjdrico. Permission was given by tjdrico to port this.

vBookie is a 'bookmakers' or betting extension to vBulletin. It enables authorised members to post Events and Outcomes that forum members can bet on. Each Outcome has its own set of odds, and odds can be modified through the life of an Event (bets that are placed are stored with the prevailing odds, so even if the odds change, your users are paid at the correct rate).

Once the results are known, Events can be settled and forums members awarded their winnings.

vBookie uses its own vCash by default, but this has no more use than as 'bragging rights'.

Although vBookie does not have any built-in facility to integrate with any other store hacks, it's a very simple job to hack vBookie itself to integrate it with any store/points system you care to use.

Have you added any Bets yet ? if not try adding some bets then run stats again

[dartho]

that one looks like a bug ... lemme check...

[Edit: Yep - errant appostrophe - wouldn;t affect people unless they use a table prefix.. new version up in a couple minutes

[dartho]

Should be OK now in 4.0.6, again - only affect those that use table prefixes

[allbuffs]

awesome work dartho! Thanks for looking into that so fast.

Yayyy. Good Onya mate.

Ok now how can we spruce the actual bet thang up a bit please. Is there a template to edit ? If so please point me in the right direction.

Regards Ste

[dartho]

vbookie_event_table & vbookie_outcome_bits for OPEN events
vbookie_event_table & vbookie_outcomebits_nobet for CLOSED events
vbookie_eventresults_table & vbookie_resultbits for SETTLED events

In the previous version, I was able to hack in a bet limit... users could only bet max $500 in a single bet (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...it#post1387588)

(1) would that be somewhere in the same file?
(2) could that be introduced as a feature/option in the settings?

Another feature request - an option to add/update text on the left side of the bookie home page.

Excellent stuff, keep it going!

Cheers,

Regs.

Only niggle is the 1 hr thing.

We set a bet to finish on 27/Jan/2010 at 09.00 pm and the dst settings are +10 gmt ( unless we should be different for QLD )

Update event and lo and behold:

This event will accept bets until 27-01-2010 at 08:00 PM

Do you have "Daylight Savings" enabled in your vBulletin date and time settings (or in your own COntrol Panel)? That's my only guess. .. at the moment
