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.
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.

I've reviewed all the options and only option I could find related to the paycheck was the time period and the amount.

Thanks for your help.

There should only be 1, remove one of them if there are two. Keep one of them that says eBux Paycheck Processing.

Each Category under Manage Categories shows who has access to an option. Check in there first off. Then Manage Options to add more usergroups.

Or maybe explain how it could be done in an easier way? :nervous:

That could be done easily if vBShout has any hooks that are useful, if not, u'd have to hack the vBShout php file and/or template edits.

It's under the actual Thief store option. Manage Options -> Thief, at the bottom will be some settings.

any idea why this is, is it something I did wrong??

Also, when editing the number of items to be sold, when I save it reverts to what it was at install.

That should have been fixed a while ago, but I'll look into it again.

Can someone help pls?

Time zone settings are not taken into effect I guess, I need to read up on who to do that, the time its showing is the unix timestamp when its that time for your server hosting the vB is when it will be drawn.

It should be safe to upgrade.

1) That might work later on when the federal bank is updated. I'll take that into account then.

2) Sounds interesting, maybe that could be done easily.

3) vBookie should be working with this now. It has been updated.

In the admin cp, search for users, and on the bottom left.

If you go into AdminCP >> Plugin System >> Manage Products, find the eBux / eStore product in there and to the right of it is the version number. If you have upgraded in the past and only imported the product file without uploading files or vice versa, then take the latest version available, upload all files, and reimport the product allowing overwrite.

Go to the plugin manager (where you add the product files) but rather than go into manage products, go to plugin manager and make sure there aren't anymore eStore / eBux plugins that didn't get removed. If there are some in there, then delete them.

If that doesn't fix it, try reinstalling the plugin and then uninstall it again.

Holy crap you don't know what you're missing. Lots of new features and stuff since 1.0.5...we are now on 1.1.8!

Is it safe?

It should work but you will need to revert your MEMBERINFO template and then reapply the template edits from this and other hacks to it. This will also hold true for the navbar. I think those are the only templates that get changed that are edited in eStore.

[SasukeNC]

No you don't understand, I can't go into the forum at all, not one page works in the adminpanel or anything.

I would suggest going into your databse and finding the plugin table and the product table. Start off with the eStore / eBux products and then move to the plugins table, if they are still present and haven't been deleted. Set the active field from 1 to 0. Don't do anything else, and do this one plugin/product at a time until you find the culprit.

[SasukeNC]

Hey do you have AIM maybe I can talk to you on it. But no, none of that worked, it is all gone. This has to be a very small error though and I don't know what.
