Major Additions - [DBTech] vBShop v3 (vB4)

vBShop is the most advanced shop mod to date. Giving you unprecedented control over what items you can sell, vBShop is the perfect mod to go along with virtually any points modification.
With features like overriding any usergroup permission, including those of custom modifications, vBShop raises the bar for what you will come to expect from a shop mod.

Why vBShop is the perfect shop mod

Most other shop modifications add support for overriding certain stock actions, like increased PM space, increased avatar size, super moderator permissions, etc...
vBShop takes this to the next level and offers you 100% control over every single usergroup permission conceivable, including those of modifications we've never even heard of!

Usergroup permissions is not all it can do, however. It can also let members buy styling for your user title like bold, italics and colors, user title changing, username changing, and immunity from these changes.

It also offers a simple points system that you can use if you do not wish to add a points modification to your forum.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

Try using the dropdown under "Item Type Specific Fields" to select the forum

Sorry, I don't know. You'll need to contact the vBE author for the information needed in the currency manager

Hi, this is an image of when I create a new item using the 'Forum Access' item from the drop down menu, I can't see where to put the Forum ID?

[DragonByte Tech]

Sorry, I was mistaken. Forum Access is a Pro-only feature, I don't know why it's possible for you to select it via the Lite version. I'll correct this in a future version
