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.

thanks for the ugrade, but still some phrases in English is correct?



I have a strange behavior, if I continue to view the live betting - Suspended abandoned closed, 4 return to page view appears so

Old news items will not update. Are the items in image 1 old (pre-upgrade)?

Image 2 - I do not quite understand under what situation that screen appears. More information would help, or a URL/link

That's a strange error! I can not reproduce on my site, but I can on your site - but do not know what is causing it?

For the last couple translation issues, you can edit the vbookie_main template and search for

{vb:rawphrase currently_showing_x_events, {vb:raw type}}

and delete it - it is not really needed. Or if you want to keep the phrase in there, you can replace with the following. It's a little clumsy, but it should work:

<vb:if condition="$type=='OPEN'">{vb:rawphrase currently_showing_x_events,{vb:rawphrase event_open}}
<vb:elseif condition="$type=='CLOSED'" />{vb:rawphrase currently_showing_x_events,{vb:rawphrase event_closed}}
<vb:elseif condition="$type=='SETTLED'" />{vb:rawphrase currently_showing_x_events,{vb:rawphrase event_settled}}
<vb:elseif condition="$type=='ABANDONED'" />{vb:rawphrase currently_showing_x_events,{vb:rawphrase event_abandoned}}
</vb:if>

Then search for

value="Go"

and replace with

value="Andare"

or the translation of your choice which is likely better than mine. I'll fix these in the next release.


Just had a though on the strange error. WHile you are editing the template, search for

{vb:raw pagenav}
</form>

and replace with

</form>
{vb:raw pagenav}

See if that helps?
