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.

Stats page ? sorry this is the first time using vbookie , how would some one find this stats page ? we do not use the post bit code if thats how you get there, there isnt any links what so ever on the vbookie.php page ?

[dartho]

/vbookie.php?do=stats

It's off teh vBookie tab in the navbar (if you have that enabled)

[Adam H]

I apologize immediately if the subject has been already addressed but I found nothing.

I would like to know if you can format vcach point:

now: 100000 - 1000000
format: 100.000 - 1.000.000

Thanks

*bug*

When editing a bet, it you select 'update number of outcomes', then the tick-box 'Allow multiple bets' becomes 'true' if previously set to false.

[jonty]

*bug*
When editing someone elses bet, and changing the number of outcomes, 'permission denied' page is shown.
Other details (odds, 'allow multiple bets' can be changed ok)

(permission groups set correctly in vbookie settings)

[jonty]

'Allow multiple bets' is fixed :up:
Updating number of outcomes still throws a permission denied error

[FrankieGersnet]

Is there a way to reset the bet stats section?

Thanks in advance!

Dartho, I un-installed all files and completey re-installed the new version, the same problem where a new event cannot be posted is there still., all the usergroup permissions are in place and everything seems to be in place.

But it still will not add a new event event though the tick button is there.

If I send you the admincp log in details, can you have a look to see what is going wrong please?

Thanks

[dartho]

Hi Delilahs,
Yep - PM me details and also the times when your site is at it's quietest/busiest (and your timezone) I wouldn't need to take your site down, but I may need to added some comment/debug code to the vBookie plugins which may momentarily cause issues or 'uglyness' for users.
