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.

Doesn't it limit the entire bet amount though? We have 21 possible outcomes in are contest and many people are betting all their points on one outcome. I would like to do the same exact thing as Ease mentioned only with outcomes and not the entire bet.

Anyhow, I appreciate the info.

Having a *quick* look, that does appear to be for each individual outcome in a book, not the total amount staked across outcomes for a book, so I think it should suit you needs.

Really?? Cool! I guess I misunderstood it. Thanks for getting me straight. I am going to try it today.

Hey Dartho,

I added the phrasing like I would normally do but there is no phrasetypeid and I am getting the phrase not found message. I thought this is now the fieldname and I tried vbookie and vbsettings for that..neither work.

Thanks

[dartho]

In the code, try using:

PHP Code:

standard_error('You have exceeded the maximum amount of $100 per bet'); 


rather than

PHP Code:

eval(standard_error(fetch_error('vbookie_exceeded_max_bet'))); 


and forget about the phrases - at least to check that it works the way you want.

[RichieBoy67]

I should have thought of that! Simple work around! Thanks dartho!

Hi Guys,

I am forever on the look out for ways I can improve or create new options for my gig guide, got a solid live music site, can this be adapted for a Gig Guide?

Anyway I can fix this....

Thanks!
