Thanks blind-eddie,
you helped to get me up and running.

So, it was working just fine.
Now, for some reason, it has stopped working.
When you go to create a new thread, and check that it is a "vbookie" event,
then save the thread, it merely saves the post/thread.
It does not prompt you for the betting info, nor does it give the thread a "$" icon.

Nothing has been changed since it was working yesterday.

It is still enabled, and all forum permissions are still correct.

Any ideas on what could be causing this, and/or how I can fix it ?

Thanks (again) from whomever can help.



Edit/Update: 20121030

So after much searching, I figured out that the hook for 3.6 must be the problem
(see here) https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...92#post1035092

So I made that hook change, and it seems to work now.

But... now I have to figure out why it worked before, but then it didn't.
Maybe someone changed that hook back (reverted).

I have 3.8.7, if anyone can help me with installing vBookie by Private Message it would be greatly appreciated!

Works fine with 3.8.7


Install as per readme. (newthread template edit below.)

Once that is complete, rebuild bitfields.
To do that, go to

http://yoursite.com/forum/admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

Edit Usergroup permissions
I would not allow all members the ability to create/edit bookie events, only admin usergroup.

I would recommend creating a new child forum of an existing forum to pick up permissions & Name it Bookie Bets (Or whatever). Remember the forum id, you will need it later.

Next replace plugin contents as per instructions of the following post.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=946

============================================

In Template newthread use the following.

   <if condition="$foruminfo[forumid] == xx">
   <if condition="$show['vbookieevent']">

	<fieldset class="fieldset">
		<legend>$vbphrase[post_a_vbookieevent]</legend>
		<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
			<div><label for="cb_postvbookieevent"><input type="checkbox" name="postvbookieevent" value="yes" id="cb_postvbookieevent" tabindex="1" $checked[postvbookieevent] />$vbphrase[yes_post_a_vbookieevent_thread]</label></div>
		</div>

	</fieldset>
   </if></if>

Only difference from readme to this is I added conditionals to only allow bookie threads to be created in one forum.
Change the xx to the forum id of your newly created child forum. Click Save.

Also, if you use vbadvanced and find the navbar link throws up a 404 error when clicked, go to vBa CMPS/Default Settings/Global vBadvanced Settings, add vbookie.php to the Navbar Replacements Section.

Happy editing....

Sorry for a bit of a bump, but I have a couple of questions to ask.

I am running vBulletin v3.8.7 and thanks to the above posts I've been able to install it fine.

However, when I post the vCash doesn't go +1. How do I go about fixing this?

Cheers.

What do you mean by "when I post the vCash doesn't go +1"

Would you please give more details so I can help you fix your issue? Thank you

When each member posts, they don't get a +1 in their vCash department. Not sure if this add-on gives that option.

Hi, are there any known severe exploits for this plugin running on 3.8.2? It is showing version number 1.0.7.

My forum has been compromised a few times with .js and .php files being edited. My main suspect is ibProArcade (see this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2434523) but figured I would ask here anyways.

Hey guys... I don't know if anyone still reads this thread but I have a question. I've got this mod running on 3.8.7 and I have a "bookie" usergroup... for mods who wish to run the bookie events. How can I make it so any member of the "bookie" group can edit/add bookie lines to existing open events?

As it stands right now only the bookie event creator can add new lines to the event. However any member of the bookie usergroup can edit a line.

It would be great if any bookie usergroup member could add a new line to an open event.

Thanks and let me know!

bump?
