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.

I'm attaching a screenshot of what I am getting.

check your bb code as both line of that error are to do with
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

[DaninMS]

Thx for the reply. Where would I check this at ?

[dartho]

edit the vbookie.php file and search for those line numbers and replace:
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
with
$bbcode_parser = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

[DaninMS]

How can I put multiple bets in one event? I am using this so people can place bets on fighting events which generally have several fights in one event.

Thank you!

[dartho]

add as many out comes as you like, and people can bet on any or all of them
