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.

4.0.0 (19 Jan '10 ) - Initial Release

One on one bets would be great. One member can challenge another (via Postbit) and a message is sent to them. The other member can accept the amount or raise/lower it.

History of bets, current bets, and bets willing to make can appear in sig and profile.

I have an error when I click VbCash Utilities in the admin settings:

Database error in vBulletin 4.0.1:

I think if you edit vboooke_admin.php line 71 and change

WHERE Field = "vbookie_cash" to WHERE Field = vbookie_cash

Odd that it doesn;t throw an error on mine - perhaps it a MySQL version thing?

Didnt work either. It's a pretty straight installation, its the first time I have a problem with a plugin. Hope somebody can help, I liked the original vbBookie a lot.
