Major Additions - vbBux / vbPlaza v1.5.8 (Points + Store System)

vbBux / vbPlaza v1.5.8 by CMX (http://www.cmgsccc.com)
Official Homepage - http://www.vbplaza.com

v1.5.7 AND HIGHER are now compatible with vBulletin v3.5.x and v3.6.x

Welcome to the largest points/store system for vBulletin! READ THE ENTIRE POST AGAIN AS THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES SINCE THE CONVERSION TO vbBux / vbPlaza!!

Credits: MrZeropage for ibProArcade Support, John for v3 Arcade Support, Caimakale for various additions including ribbons and his other addons for vbPlaza, defi for the addon for Paypal Subscriptions.

New Premium Modification Forum: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=171
If you post a new thread in there, it will be easier to track the answer to your thread folks!

Now with 135 Options for purchasing at your forums and this is still rising folks!

NOTE: As of this version, there is a Template Patcher helper inside the Admin CP. Admin CP -> vbPlaza Maintenance -> Auto Patch Templates, when you run this the first time, it will just list the changes that it has found/not found. If you press Attempt Auto Patches, it will modify the template changes it has found only. It will also modify all styles for your forums. I have tested this on all 3 of my licensed vBulletin production websites and the patches all worked great.

UPDATED MUST READ NOTES:
1) RE-READ THE UPGRADING OR NEW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AS THEY HAVE CHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS!!
2) IF UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION OF eBux / eStore. YOU MUST INSTALL THIS ONE FIRST TO SAVE YOUR SETTINGS. (BUT YOU WOULD KNOW THIS IF YOU READ THE UPGRADING INSTRUCTIONS!! DONT SAY I DIDNT WARN YOU!!)

Branding Free Option
If you have donated in the past, you can get the Branding Free Option for Free by sending CMX a PM on the http://www.vbplaza.com/forums Message Board.
Otherwise, you will need to purchase it by signing up for an account at http://www.vbplaza.com/forums/register.php and then going to http://www.vbplaza.com/forums/payments.php

Features List:
This section has been moved due to its length. Look in the file included insize the zip named features.txt.

Release Notes:
This section will only show the most recent changes. For the rest of the changes, look in the file included inside the zip named changes.txt.

NOTE: If you want ibProArcade, v3 Arcade or vBookie integration now, you'll have to install the appropriate Addon included in the download. The reason for these parts being packaged as Addons, is to make the install a little smaller for users who do not have an Arcade, and because both Arcades cant be installed simultaneously as well. So it saves space only installing the one that you currently have.

v1.5.8 Updates:
1) Bugfix: Quick editing a post with BB Codes, modified the post directly instead of modifying a copy.
2) Bugfix: Some phrases fixed.
3) Bugfix: TABLEPREFIX bug has been fixed.
4) Bugfix: Addon Product XML sheets do not have executionorder in them anymore for vB 3.5 compatibility.

Database Backups Recommended!
Although I have upgraded 3 forums with this script already, it IS recommended that you backup your database before installing this product!!

Upgrading Instructions:
NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR UPGRADING IF YOU HAD A PREVIOUS VERSION OF eBux / eStore INSTALLED!!
1) DO NOT UNINSTALL eBux / eStore (UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOSE ANY AND ALL SETTINGS.)
2) Reupload all of the files in the upload folder to your forum's root folder. Make sure that all files are being overwritten. Do not move on to the next step until all files are transferred successfully!
NOTE: It could take a long time to install if you have a lot of registered users, be PATIENT! It should display the messages as it goes along to let you know that it IS working.
3) After finished with step 2!! Reimport the product-vbbuxplaza.xml file via Admin CP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product. Make sure that Allow Overwrite is set to YES.

5) UNINSTALL THE OLD eBux / eStore NOW!! Go to Admin CP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> eBux / eStore -> Uninstall.
6) You can delete all files/folders that have the word estore or elottery in them from the FTP as well.
7) You will need to redo the template edits listed below as almost all of them have changed since the previous eBux / eStore.

If upgrading from a previous version of vbBux / vbPlaza follow these instructions:

BTW, keep up the great work!!

should be because I plan to change the word points to Money and put a dollar sign infront of the numbers. Hope its not that hard to do

[CrazyShooter]

Here is the way that i done it:

Styles & Templates - Style Manager - >><< - Postbit Templates - postbit_legacy -

then search for

PHP Code:

$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]<br />
<a href="estore.php?do=donate&amp;userid=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[ebux_points]</a>: $post[points] 


and change

PHP Code:

$vbphrase[ebux_points] 


To What ever you want the points to be called, Money, Cash, Dollars, Points..

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

To put a dollar sign in frount:
Change

PHP Code:

$post[points] 


To:

Dollar Sign ($)

PHP Code:

$$post[points] 


Pound Sign (?)

PHP Code:

$$post[points] 


Hash Sign (#)

PHP Code:

#$post[points]

I know how to do it that way just like Ushop but I am talking making it global? For it to show that way at the store, profile, postbit and so on

[Frugal]

Yes you can change points to whatever you want. Just do a search for points in phrase manager. I changed mine to Frubles as that is what my members named the money when I had petz installed.

One store option I'd like to add is the option to reset your daily rep giving limit. eg if you can give rep 10 times in 24 hours it would be cool to pay to reset the counter to zero so that you can give rep another 10 times in the same day. I've been looking at adding this myself (already added the option to buy more rep points) but can't quite work out how to do it with this. As far as I can tell the Where value is probably $vbulletin->options['reputationrepeat'] but I'm too much of a beginner level hacker to figure the rest out. If CMX or any other vb gurus can point me in the right direction I'd be real grateful.

[PixelFx]

Any addons for requiring so many ebux before you can play a game in the v3arcade? or so many points to use vB Pager system?

the script looks great so far. Thanks for all the time you have put into this

I was wondering the same thing actually, since they are denied the option by default. It's possible that the denied groups may be useless and may be removed in the future.

Anyone know why a denied groups would be necessary?

-CMX

Don't know if this has already been answered but denied groups is really useful. Currently I have a group that I deny the ability to change their title however many of them are in a secondary group that is allowed, so whilst say group 27 are not in the allowed group and are thus denied the option by default they still get the option via the secondary group that is allowed the option. As the denied groups currently takes priority I can deny the option to members of a particular group regardless of any secondary groups they are in. So please don't remove this in the future.

CMX is a machine....not only is this a kick ass product with no problems......but the support is second to none. Honestly I can't even believe he replies to so many people, hats off to ya!

[Gallio]

I've installed the Hack it works fine no errors only one thing, The points systems or panels are not showing up on my vBulletin templates. I've added the coders I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.. Can anyone help?

[FROGGYJ]

Found a bug I think. I can't seem to deposit any money with decimal places. For example I tried 539.89 and it says you do not have enough points to perform this action. So then I tried 0.89 and got the same problem....whole numbers aren't a problem though, just the cents.
