The Itemshop v5 (Original)

Again, I'm posting this for a friend. He is the original itemshop creator. (see this thread):

Let's start with the beginning. You may wonder why this thread has the word original in its name. Well, there are too many itemshops out there. So here's a short version of the itemshop history:

1. First of all, afterlab had the idea of an itemshop, which he also did, but it was pure text. People would have to talk to him to buy items, and he would have to manually substract the points.
2. Then, as a member of ffr, i started talking about how easy and convenient it would be to have an automated itemshop. People just click on the link, and the item is added, points substracted. Later that day, i did the very first version of the itemshop. Nothing big, just a buy function. The items were stored in an array.
3. I had released my itemshop on vb.org and afterlab was pretty unsatisfied that i hadn't given him any credit for the original idea. Actually i didn't even consider the itemshop a hack, it was more of a joke, something i had made for fun. I had no idea it would become so popular.
4. 2 days later, version 4: This one had error pages, improved buy and sell function. I was planning a database powered itemshop, with admin cp interface.
5. afterlab then pretty much copied my code 3 times, and released his first version "with item categories". It felt pretty unfair, while i was struggling to do something way more advanced, he was getting all the credit for something that was still 85% mine.
6. then my computer broke, just as I was working on the admin cp of my database version. I was also planning to do the battle system hack.
7. in the meantime, about one week later, afterlab released his itemshop 3 i think, database powered.
8. couple of weeks later afterlab started all the battle system stuff.
9. about 2 months after my computer crashed, it got finally fixed, and i began to work to complete my own itemshop.
10. So well, here it is.

nice story, isn't it?

here's a quick list of features:

Database driven
Full Template Set (everything that is outputted is generted through templates)
Infinite items categories and items
Items and category descriptions
Stock (idea by Crono)
Detailed items/categories/shops stats (number of sold items, profit)
All the item and category adding/editing/deleting and option editing is done through the cp.
Special icon column for different item display possibilities
!!!! Personal Shops !!! (members can create their own shops and sell items. You can specify how much it costs through the cp. while each category has it's own slot, all the personal shops work under one slot. That means, you can only have one item from all the personal shops)
An own donation system included

what it adds:

The itemshop adds 4 tables to the vbulletin database:

• [items] - This is where all the items are stored
• [items_cats] - This is where all the categories are stored
• [items_options] - This is where the configuration data is stored
• [items_user] - This is where all the user stuff and items he bought, are stored

26 templates to the main template set:

• itemshop
  
• itemshop_buypers
  
• itemshop_delpers
  
• itemshop_donate
  
• itemshop_donate-error
  
• itemshop_donate-more
  
• itemshop_donate-self
  
• itemshop_donate-thanks
  
• itemshop_error-nosell
  
• itemshop_error-noshop
  
• itemshop_info
  
• itemshop_its
  
• itemshop_itsbits
  
• itemshop_own
  
• itemshop_pers
  
• itemshop_persform
  
• itemshop_personal
  
• itemshop_pheader
  
• itemshop_redir-del
  
• itemshop_redir-edit
  
• itemshop_redir-sell
  
• itemshop_redir-thanks
  
• itemshop_tablebottom
  
• itemshop_tablemiddle
  
• itemshop_tabletop
  
• itemshop_view

Like i said, anything there is to edit can be edited through templates

File and Template Modifications:
there are 4 file modifications, but only one of them is neccessary.
and one template modification: postbit, wherever you want the donation link to be.
important!!!!: remember to change your points field and remove any old itemshop templates!!!

Installation method
First of all, be sure to back up your database!! This is a fairly large hack. Adds a lot of stuff to the database.

the installation is done through the install script install_itemshop.php. It will guide you through 5 easy steps.
the only manual edits you'll have to do are the ones above, file and template edits.

Included Files

readme.htm - general information
root/itemshop.php - main itemshop file
admin/itemadmin.php - itemshop admin interface
admin/install_itemshop.php - itemshop installation file
images/itemshop - itemshop image file. This is where you will have to upload all coresponding graphics.

If you wish to colaborate with me in continuing this hack or to add item descriptions for further versions please contact me.
This hack can easily be used not only for rpg boards.. As an example: you add computer categories: cpu, hdd, monitor etc, replace points with $ and let people on your forum build themselves a computer!


I've already got a list of stuff i gotta update in the next version, but if there's any request feel free to ask.
The shop is 100% functional, but i want to improve stuff, make it more efficient.

[And please, before releasing any new mod/edit/version to this hack ask for permission] - If you agree to that condition you are allowed to freely use and distribute the zip below, as long asthe copyright and author information remains intact.
By not agreeing, you are not allowed to use this hack, nor will you get any support.
- Thank you! That was just to prevent my hours hard work on the itemshop to be stolen

*** update
all bugs reported by Kaelon are fixed.
i've also added some extra stuff:
ascending or descending order
postbit edit: well, for the postbit, i couldn't just put the imgs, cause all the items of the same type have the same image. so i put the image and a link to a separate item info page.
1 new template required for the item info page.
added remove feature in installation script. ( note: it will simply drop the tables and remove the templates).
75% faster!!! and less stress on your server

new update: bank hack integrated!!!

I am just a bit angry with you comming on here and accusing me of a crime that you are guilty of yourself

Anyways on a lighter tone, with all the advanced features, this hack should be better than ever. I cant wait for the new edition of itemshop that will be released soon, go great with my Trek RP. Now all i need is a decent usergroup specific rank hack, that would be tops for all concerned

[Ninth Dimension]

just a quick (and possably silly question) but if I use a difrent script to award the points to users, will the donate features still work?

it's just that i'm trying to encourage people to post more new topics, so i'd like to give them 10 points for a new topic, and 5 for a reply. (can anyone suggest a good script I can use for this?)

cheers all

[proxyMX]

I can suggest the Shinra Points hack, Itemshop was designed to work in unison with this hack if you read the readme

[Link14716]

you could also use it with Lesane's Store hack, although it'd be a bit more than you need. To use points in unison there, undo newreply and nwthread.php changes, install store hack, then change all instances of 'userfield' in itemshop.php to 'user' and then change the points field to 'storep' and use the Store's admin capabilities to do that :-D

[Mr_P]

Installed fine - no probs was quite easy as well and i already had lesanes store installed so i followed the guide to get it working with this and Bingo it worked.
I had prob of only one icon in postbit and Bingo the post above by link14716 worked a dream so all in all a succesful night.

Cheers guys for all help - without the feedback must admit i would never ov suzzed the postbit prob out .

[Apok2002]

1) How can I change the interest rate for the Bank, from 10% to 5%?

2) Also, I've read the past 10 or so pages, EVERY post about gifs not showing up for custom or added catagories. On my site, I've added my own personal itemshop (thru buying it).

I've also ran into some of the troubles mentioned to get those custom icons installed...and none of the fixes work completely. Link's copy/paste fix helped out a bit...but all I was able to get from it, was the white "P" gif (no item.gif) to show for items in the new catagory. I tried using the same gifs that are used by the default items...it STILL shows as a white "P".

But I didn't see it noted (w/i the past 10 or so pages of posts here)....that there may be a catagory id error. If it IS mentioned, forgive me, I overlooked it...but thought I was very careful about searching for it as people tend to get upset at those who don't look more carefully.

Anyway, here is my observation: In the admincp...my new personal (and thus far, the ONLY) catagory (shop) is catid=4. But when you are in the actual Itemshop...and hover over that link to GET to my shop, and all of it's items, it says catid=0.

I would imagine that a lot of the issues are coming from this very thing. Anyone else noticed this? Anyone have a fix for it?

Again, my apologies if this IS already brought up...I just don't see it anywhere here yet. Oh, I don't know if it matters...but I use it with Lesane's Store Hack. Works great other than the issue #2 above.

[weallgoboing]

I admit it...I'm as thick as pig poo and twice as smelly...

Where is

postbit template

--------------------------
##### add this next to your points link:
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open('itemshop.php?acti on=donate&user=$post[userid]', '', 'toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=300,h eight=50');">Donate</a>
##### add this where you want your items to appear:
$post[items]
--------------------------

put.....filename?

We don't all see the world in 1's and 0's

[DarkDraco07]

since people are helping people now i have 2 question and they are important!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHEN PEOPLE BUY THEIR OWN ITEMS THEZY DO NOT LOSE MONEY!!!!!!!!!! MEANING THEY CAN MAKE 99999999$ ITEM AND BUY IT FROM THEMSELVES MAKING THEM RICH!!!!!!!!!!

and the other is the interest rate asked above

[BloodThirsty229]

Invalid SQL: SELECT storep FROM userfield WHERE userid=1
mysql error: Unknown column 'storep' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

What does this mean?
I know I installed everything correctly, and if I refresh the page it posts the message. Does the same thing for the new reply and new thread

[BloodThirsty229]

wait nevermind... now gives someone a point everytime they refresh the page
