*EDITED
Fixed the problems i had. Just needed to get to know how it works a little better.

One think i think would possibly make a nice addition is the ability to buy max tickets for the day in lotto with one purchase.
Perhaps for an additional fee you can set it to automatically purchase tickets every day? Provided funds were there ofcourse.

Also one more bug found. At vbplaza.php?do=editoptions the three last options (hide ribbons in posts, receive pm on new gift and ribbon) the label has the same name. And it makes those settings unusable. Please fix it...

I will fix that error in the next version.

It is very annoying because their points gets to less than zero some times ex.-4785.58000. One other thing i saw is that when i set to vbbux settings at forum mass settings Points Per Thread View Multiplier & Points Per Thread Multiplier & Points Per Post Multiplier all of them to 1 they get the number 1000.00000 some times. Any else have the problems i mention?

I will look into your first issue, although I have never experienced that on a forum with 700,000 members. The second problem depends on the user group settings, they get the amount specified there per action multiplied by the multiplier.

And in the dropdown it says "Red (1.00 Points)"

Edit another bug:
When doing a theft and it's unsuccessful the history is right. If it is successful it will show:
From [user-stolen]
Thief attempt was successful from [user-stolen].

From should be [stealer] not user-stolen..

The gifts one is the price of the "Give Gifts" item and the one next to the gift is the extra price to pay on top for that gift.

The stealing one is how vBPlaza works, when you receive points it's from, when you loose points it's to. It shows the "Thief attempt was successful from" to show who you were thieving from, as in "You stole from user" and "You failed at stealing from user".

Thanks for the fast reply Enzo! Nominated this mod! It's really awesome .

I've got a few more questions ^^.

Does the tax go to the user ID 1?

When buying an item I can't afford:
"You do not have enough vbbux_points to perform this item." vbbux_points is not replaced by a language phrase.

For the permission items --> should I disable the specific permission in the usergroup so that they need to buy the item?

Thanks

Tax just erases points, they don't go to anyone, I'll get that phrase fixed in the next release. For the permissions, remove the permission in user group manager and enable the item.

Thanks man! I'm seriously going to donate what I can once the next version is out (I hope this will motivate you muahah just kidding ) but yeah thanks a lot! Greatest mod ever imo.

Waiting for the new version. I also managed to figure out that when i create a new forum the multipliers automatically are set to "100000.00000". Anyone who knows why?

[mjfan227]

I can't get this to install either and I really would like to. Seems like it is loading when I upload the xml file, but it gets stuck and doesn't finish uploading. I left it over night with no progress.

This is as far as it gets:

[BayLee2]

OK, I'm not thinking today. On the postbit it displays the points, the bank points and the total points. How do I get it to ONLY display the total points?

Nevermind, I feel dumb now. Found it and removed.
