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.

Can you please tell me how to adjust the betting limit for vBookie? I'd like to know this because when I go to the general settings for vbookie, there isn't an option there to adjust it.

[rootsxrocks]

I would sure like to know how to do that too as well as confirmation on how to make bets pay from the bookie account

Derek - you have not downloaded vBookie or clicked mark as installed?

Check, might work:

Replace with:

PHP Code:

    foreach ($vbulletin->GPC['option'] AS $option_id => $stake)
    {
        if ($stake > 0)
        {
            if ($stake > 100){
                eval(standard_error(fetch_error('vbookie_exceeded_max_bet')));
            }
            $db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbookie_bets_placed (option_id, item_id, userid, bet_amount_placed, bet_odds_against, bet_odds_for, bet_private) VALUES ($option_id, $item_id, " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ", $stake, " . $odds_against["$option_id"] . ", " . $odds_for["$option_id"] . ", '$private')");
            $db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbookie_item_options SET option_n_bets_placed=option_n_bets_placed+1, option_amount_staked=option_amount_staked+$stake WHERE option_id=$option_id");
        }
    } 


Open your vBulletin database and look at the phrase table.
Find the largest phraseid, then create a new row with a phraseID that's one larger than the largest one so far. The other values are as follows:
languageid : -1
varname : vbookie_exceeded_max_bet
text : You have exceeded the maximum amount of $100 per bet.
phrasetypeid : 1000
product : bookiehack

Obviously, change the $100 max to whatever you want your max to be.

Hi i have a page full of events with no delete option.. The threads have been fully deleted and when i click the Thread or info links i get this..

No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

Any help please?

[dartho]

if the threads has been deleted somehow withiut deleting the event, you will need to manually remove it from your database (search vbookie_items table on the threadid)

[DEREKTROTTER]

@dartho, I installed the add on without pressing 'mark as installed'. It is now marked as installed.

Can you please tell me now how I can adjust the betting limit for vBookie. (I know it is somewhere in the php file.

Thanks

[dartho]

Hi Derek, it wasn't that you hadnt clicked 'Mark As Installed' so much so as hadn't even downloaded it (as 'Coder' of this thread - I can see which people who post in this thread have downloaded the mod) - which usually means you obtained the mod from a pirate site which usually means you aren't licensed. I can now see you have since downloaded so I know this is not the case (although you still aren't showing as 'Marked as Installed')

Anyway - I did actually answer your question on the previous page where you asked it: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...40#post2260040

[DEREKTROTTER]

The betting limit has been adjusted.

I have a very unusual problem, which you probably cannot help me with, but I'll see if you can.

There is an event which just won't go away. It had been on for ages and ages when it was already settled. It doesn't direct to a particular thread. I'm thinking this might be because the thread was deleted, before the event was settled. Am I right?

Thanks.
