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.

dartho, can u teach me how to add the 'points' if i post something in a thread? like u said.. i must write a plugin.. how? im so newbie T_T please dont be mad lol

[dartho]

I'm a bit too busy for anythjing but basic support at the moment.

By the way, your status suggests that you haven't even downloaded this script?

[palalu]

download vbookie 4.0.9

admincp--manage product--import the file (product-bookiehack-4.0.9)

when i click vbookie menu.. got eror 404..

my vbulletin version is 4.1.11 its compatible? or im wrong?

[dartho]

404 error means file not found which would suggest you either did not upload the files, or they were uploaded to the incorrect directory. Did you upload the contents of the upload directory in the zip to your forum root?

It's more of your PHP version instead of your vB version. There is no functional change because the version of PHP that shows you that warning already assigns instantiated classes by reference.

Anyone know if this works flawlessly on 4.1.12?

Yes we had it on 4.1.12 and it was working fine,

Unfortunately we have finished the 4.2 upgrade and all the navigation bar options have disappeared, ie blog, articles etc.

Appears on all other tabs just not bookie.

Find this near the bottom of vbookie.php:

$templater = vB_Template::create('VBOOKIE');

and add these lines above:

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

And add a new link to vbookie.php in the Navigation Manager and the relevant sub-nav until the product gets updated

Thanks for the promp reply, and apologies for the delay in my reply

Find this near the bottom of vbookie.php:

Code:
$templater = vB_Template::create('VBOOKIE');
and add these lines above:

Code:
$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);
And add a new link to vbookie.php in the Navigation Manager and the relevant sub-nav until the product gets updated

Worked like a charm, thank you very much

Followed these steps, however I don't quite understand how to add the subnav aswell.
The nav is there and is working, however I just don't see any other options.

cheers
