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.

4.0.0 (19 Jan '10 ) - Initial Release

Is this needed for 4.0.9 ?


I just installed this and have some problems..
1. text doesn't show up.. either there is no text (or when on white the text is white & on dark the text is dark.?)
2. is there a way to allow the subnav menu without the navtab button.?
I tried turning it off, & link straight to it, but then there is no subnav menu. also there is no text when making a post, just a check box.

Installed version 4.0.9 on vB Version 4.1.3
Thanks for any help.

One of our mods settled a bet before the actual event ooops LOL is there anyway to unsettle the bets and return the credits back to how they were?

There isnt a way to unsettle bets.

You would need to manually adjust members vcash amounts

Is vBookie 4.0.9 the correct version to install if i am running vB4.1.3. (looks to me as if vBookie 4.2.0 is for vB 4.2.x)

Yes,

vbookie 4.2.0 is for vbulletin 4.20 ( the difference related only to the navbar not showing up )

Would it work if i am running 4.1.3 ?
I think my issue is because the version before 4.2 is made for 4.0.9, & my vB is 4.1.3 so it isn't up to date. I'm thinking 4.2 might cover whatever is causing the issues, but im afraid it'll screw up my navbar. lol

Any ideas.. or can anyone confirm vBookie 4.0.9, works fine with vB 4.1.3 ?
Thanks

Can someone explain how to change the execution order in 4.2, as I have the same problem?

Thanks.
