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.
4) Refresh the Admin CP and you will see all of the vbBux / vbPlaza Admin CP features at the top.
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:
1) 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!
2) After finished with step 2!! Reimport the product-vbbuxplaza.xml file via Admin CP -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product. Make sure that Allow Overwrite is set to YES.
3) Refresh the Admin CP and get to checking your settings!
NOTE: You will be happy know that NO templates have been updated from v1.5.0 to v1.5.2!

New Installation Instructions:
1) Upload all of the files/folders in the UPLOAD folder to your forum's root folder.
2) Import the product-vbbuxplaza.xml via Admin CP -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product.

No, I am stumped. His username is just a name with letters, nothing unusual.

He has the same primary and secondary group as others that can view the store. He has access to the store (I turned it on and off)

He has tried it in both Firefox and IE. I asked him if he would change his password and send it to me to check it out, he did and it was the same for me as it was for him. it's not his browser or system.

It's weird, usually I can figure these things out on my own, but this one I can't..

Hitting preview on my site doesn't give them any points. I just tried it and hit the preview button about 20 times and my point count is still the same.

well since its only this one user and you cant seem to find the issue. why do you try creating a new user example test 1 then merge your user that has the issues to that one and see if it fixes the error. after you see it does then rename the user to his old name and test it again. hope this works. if you get another error then you will have to find a fix but ive had issues like this where its just 1 user and it never happens again. let me know

When you do that all the avatars will then disappear out of their usercp and show up in the store when they want to purchase one.

Thanks that was the missing piece. I gave up and was going to disable the default avatar options altogether.

That said, the selection process for a deafult avatar is pretty tedious, so I may disable it anyway.

Won't that reset some settings? He's a long standing member with paid subscriptions.

it should set everything from the merging user account to the test 1. with all defaults. post count , etc.

if you want i can test it with you. aim me at lnlsupport and i will post on a test user and you can do the same on another and well merge then to see what we get. im sure everything rolls over.

Did this get skipped over?

I can't recreate it, I have purchased multiple gifts in 1.1.7 with the pm enabled and all works great.

After looking at some of the code, you need to check a couple things. First make sure that the "from" user is a valid user. Set this in AdminCP >> eStore Optoins >> Manage Options and then look for "Default PM Userid to send PM's from" towards the bottom. Make sure you have a userid (number) and not a username (name) in there. Also verify that the userid is a valid one. So if you want the pm's to be sent from you, set your userid # in there, save it, and try to purchase again.

Try again uploading those files & folders inside the uploads folder only.

thanks so much its back! whew!

After looking at it more, this field isn't used when sending gifts. It looks like it's running into an error constructing the pm that is sent to the person receiving the gift.

Are you trying to purchase for multiple people at the same time? Are you filling in all fields? Are you spelling the name correctly that you are purchasing for? Try their userid instead of their name when purchasing and see what happens.

I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but does the user you are purchasing the gift for allow pm's?

Why would u want to remove it? Weren't u the one who requested the user should know how much the attachment will cost before it takes their points? lol

or could you make it so it automatically redirected you to the original thread after purcase?

You cant do that because it actually downloads the attachment, you cant redirect after it has sent a 'header(...blah)' and sent the download.

The new files inside the 1.1.7 Zip file are all PNG files, if you have uploaded them, they should be viewable.

Anyone else having this problem?

It does save the signature, if you to to edit it again it shows it?

is it a case of, random pulled out of a hat that confirms the winner???

any help would be apppreciated.

Yes, it counts the total number of tickets and generates a random number from 0 to that number and pulls that entry as the winner.

I'm trying to make it so somebody only goes .01 points per a new reply and .02 per a new thread. But it seems like these settings just don't work. I want to make it hard to get 1 point.

Set those settings in the Forum Settings for each forum. Then in eBux Options make sure the multipliers are 1.

Great hack btw!

That is how its supposed to work. If you didnt have it cover the online image it would push that image down to the next line due to the glow feature being displayed as display:block;

Not likely as it does not even know the ribbons table exists, or modify anything other than estore_gifts and the estoregifts table entry.

Everyone else can see it fine, and with his permission I logged into his account and had the problem. I assume it's a problem with his account?

Have you modify any of the estore templates? If so, a revert may be required.

I would like in memberinfo only appears the item, not the messagge and user sender.

How do i do it?

Just modify the template edit for MEMBERINFO, its that easy. Where it says $gift[message] remove that part and fix it up to your liking.

Are you certain that someone bought a ticket for it? If noone buys a ticket, it will not log anything.

Thats how the glow feature works, to avoid pushing stuff down because of the display:block; like I explained a little bit above.

ex. Glow Username

----------------------------

May I suggest an attachment feature?

Downloaders pay X points per attachment, AND uploaders only receive one third (or some percentage) of X points per attachment.

Maybe points per attachment depends on file size too. That would be cool

Thank you, CMX_CMGSCCC!

There was one spot it didnt check the removable flag, it will be fixed in v1.1.8

As far as the attachment options, I'll add them to the requests list.

Thanks for the hack, I really enjoy it

Feature suggestion:
It would be nice if a member who referred another member would get some extra points, if the referred member is quite active on the forums (has a lot of posts).
Is it possible to add that?

Yes, but could be server intensive, I'm looking into a scenario though.

As of right now, no, but I guess I could add a link to that in the User Profile for the next version.

I've installed this on two boards get exactly the same problem.

Can I make one suggestion. If you update templates could you please add a update.txt in your release out laying what template were updated and what code needs to be replaced or changed from previous installs.
Cheers

EDIT:
OK I see where people are getting confused.

The items are listed as free, no where does it say that a weekly or daily ticket cost 500 or 1000 points. Only just noticed the ticket price when looking through manage lotterys.
Think this needs to be fixed.

Soon as you hit purchase on a lottery type, like Weekly Lottery, Daily Lottery, it takes you to another confirmation page that tells you the price and then you can buy the ticket from that second confirmation page.

Originally Posted by KevinL

Every time I try and change the "Ending Time" it changes the date to 1969 or something.

How do I get it to change to daily?

Just change it to 1 for now, then run Cron Job for Process Lottery and it should draw a winner and fix it.

All of the files/folders inside of the UPLOAD folder should be uploaded to the same location where your forum's global.php file is located.

Does the upgrade affect the existing data? Are member points rest?

Also, does the upgrade alter any existing non-eBux/eStore templates?
Specifically postbit/legacy

Thanks for the great work an this ... it is absolutly the best hack we have.

As long as u do not uninstall, the points, settings, history, etc should stay the same. It does not alter any templates, u have to do the template edits manually.

What else is there to add lol, I think this pretty much has everything.

I have about 20 to 30 more options coming in a future update, stay tuned!

If you set the images as displayed inline, it shouldnt charge points I think, needs to be confirmed yet.

Whole site is currently unavailable ... what can I do?????

Sounds like an expiring issue is still around, can you PM me the contents of your estore_history field for the username you are using?

So now my question is ... how can I fix this so that expiring items still expire? (as this is what seems to have been the problem)

I probably have a couple of days before this starts happening to my members.

I need to know which option had expired so I can look into this further.

I looked in estore settings, looked in the hread bumping options, forum permissions, usergroup permissions, and still can't find where to fix this...

Its under each forum settings. Admin CP, goto forums, then choose Edit Forum, at the bottom it will list all of the permission that are available for that forum, open/close/bump/debump, etc.. Enable the ones you want.

Was a feature already implemented to fight again this?

Anyway, i installed this hack a couple of days ago and actually none of birthday's users were implemented by 100 points. Did i miss something ?

There is an extra field in the user table that checks when the user last received a birthday present. If its now > 364 days, it will not give them points. (I used 364 to verify it could overlap by a day properly.)

I need to know what option is not expiring properly to fix this problem.

Yes and yes.

Followup to previous:

Do I also need to set "Can Use Signatures" and "Can Use Custom Title" to no for each usergroup to use those features?

You disable those features to make it so they are only available for purchase for that usergroup that you disabled the settings for.

Everyone can use it fine, with the permission of the user I logged into his account and EVERYTHING but the option to buy items were there. The entire table for buying options were gone.

Yet on my account it works fine, on others accounts it works fine.

Did you revert the estore_main template as well?

I'd have to log into the Admin CP to trace this down further. If you are willing to do that, PM me the info needed. I would also need the Admin function to 'Can Administer Plugins' to properly debug it.

No luck on the sig, CMX. I edited, saved, and changed the sig several times. It shows up fine on the edit signature page, but nothing in postbit.

The signature shouldn't end up in the postbit should it? Usually it goes under the post, and the only time it is displayed is when the user makes a new post. The signature won't show up on old posts the user made unless the user had a different signature when they made the post.
