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.

Does anyone have a fix for the template issue at all? My logo shows up larger on the vbookie.php page and it only shows one link on the navigation. There's got to be at least a quick band-aid fix for this.

Football season is just around the corner - we use this thing a lot!

Hello,

I have installed on 4.2 and made some of the template changes here but have the following issues:

1. Vcash is showing in postbit but above the word VCASH:

2. None of the nav options are showing - main nav or dropdown

I can post an event within a new thread but I can't seem to find any options to delete an event. I deleted an event in the new thread part but it still shows on /vbookies.php

Any ideas?

For te Vcash position I tried to change the execution order as mentioned but there were no details. Do I have to change the order for all vbookie plugins or just one and change it to what?

Thank you. If not is there an alternative to vbookies?
