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.

Cheers Dartho will check , its not a major issue. I am guessing its our end. As QLD doesnt have dst I guess its the banana benders fault again !

Just to let you know, ran 1st bet .. works a charm, bets settled, stats updated, Excellent

[GreigM]

Yeah all seems fine here, great job, thanks so much for porting this over and supporting it so well

[dartho]

OK - Happy enough with the feedback to mark it no longer as Beta.

Suggestions for updates will now be entertained.

[GreigM]

If possible could you remove the outer border when viewing event info and maybe the stat page outer border? It's not a big issue but the border does take away from those lovely round corners in VB4

[dartho]

I've noticed that, although my solution was probablygoing be to try and get rid of the curves

[GreigM]

hehe well that would work too

[willy888]

Thanks4 this mod ... works great
I don't want to apear the link to the navnar
how can I delete it from there ?

[jonty]

just been pulling my hair out disabling plugins, mods etc as the main vbookie screen doesn't render properly.

Then it dawned on me that I'm in ie8... - the 'Bookie News and Events' don't show properly.

Turn compatability off and it's fine. :up:

No problems with the new one. Great work dartho!! Much easier to set things up in the ACP now.
