vbBux / vbPlaza v1.5.8 (Points + Store System) · **Released**: 02-01-2006

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.

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.

I think this:

5) eBux Option: Unregistered Gives Points for Viewing Threads to Thread Creator, with this you can disable points from spiders and other unregistered viewers viewing threads.

May have cleaned up my strange points issues. I will test some more before we go live.

CMX,

Sent you a pm, important, please get back to me.

Dark Aura · #**2747** 03-03-2006, 08:00 PM

I'm looking for a hack which allows you to take and add points when you post in certain forums and threads, can this hack be used to specify which forums and threads you can gain points from posting in?

LauraFL · #**2748** 03-03-2006, 08:19 PM

I have another usergroup that is set as admin. I have entered the usergroup id in the corect place, however they do not have the option to admin donate. Can this be fixed some how? Did I do something wrong?

I know you can set a global amount received for thread views, posts, etc. Also, you can change the amount per forum for thread views and so forth. You can also just set it so nothing is received in any particular forum. Any of this can be done by going to your AdminCP and find Forum & Moderators >> Forum Manager. Or you could go to Forum & Moderators >> Forum Permissions so that, if for example you wanted to set Registered users to gain 5 points per thread in only one forum and Super Moderators to gain 10 points per thread in all forums, it is possible to be more specific per usergroup.

So... If you want a more general setting, go for Forum & Moderators >> Forum Manager. If you want a more specific setting, go for Forum & Moderators >> Forum Permissions.

As far as reducing the points per forum (if that is what you were referring to when you said "take"), I am not sure if CM's hack can do that now... with him you never know. lol I'm sure if you asked, he could tell you better than I... he would obviously know.

Also, did we do away with the option to disallow users to give gifts to themselves?

Thanks!

Check to see if u have any edited estore templates first, if u do, revert them. If u dont, then try to reimport the product xml file again with allow overwrites to yes again.

That particular option is an advanced option for the Give Gifts under Manage Options.

I am still playing with it will report back if I can get it to work but so far nothing is working

Also my gifts aren't dropping off

Thanks for considering my request in the next upgrade

Did u check the Protected Usergroups Settings, there are some groups that are automatically protected whether they have immunity or not.

The gifts will drop off the next time someone purchases one. I.E. IF u have it set for 20 for the max displayed per postbit. Then the 21st gift will make the first gift drop off, if not, then this will be fixed in v1.2.6 as I have reworked the gifts here and its working on my test forum.

There's so many template edit changes that I don't know what to do anymore... This is getting exceedingly frustrating.

Yes, the template changes are a bite in the ass, too bad vB.com doesnt have a better method for updating/hooking into the templates.

In the worst case scenario, either Revert the templates and redo the edits, or View the Original ones and look at where the changes are to be made to make them match.

update - I get this message though from the lottery (and I'm the admin) when I select "view lottery winners" from the estore menu:

There's a new Usergroup Setting, can view lottery winners when you Manage Usergroups from the Admin CP.

1. Has anyone written anything in there forum about all the features to make it easier for there members to know what everything is etc. if so, could you post it here or pm me it.

2. In the admincp I have cost for attachments set to 0 however i just found out that members can set a price for other people to download there attachment. Can I get more info on this please. How to disable it, How to only set it for mods, smods and admins to set the price, and how to make it not cost points for admins, smods or mods if i choose too. I think these options are very important.

Thanks

Not sure about #1.

About #2, I'll add some more settings for better attachments in the future.

Yes, if u look into the user table and referrerid is not 0, it will give points to the referrerid user.

These are very important features!

However, please change it to work like this:

1) Enter Usergroups & Forums which will earn Extra point Multiplier.

So, this way, this feature is NOT only limited to Moderators and Super-Moderators. But, it can be offered to any usergroup that I specify.

Also, by specifying which forums will allow this extra point multiplier, we can make sure that the selected usergroups will only earn extra points if they post in certain forums.

Scenario: I have a forum, where there are support sections and there are "useless chat" sections. I don't want the usergroup which was given the extra multiplier to be posting in the "useless chat" section and earn this multiplier; rather, i want them to post and earn extra points only when posting in Support sections of the forum.

Thanks in advance. This feature will be appreciated by many.

Thats a bit more involved than I want to get at this point in time, but I have noticed the ideas in a future folder.

cannot be translated on my site. Maybe you can phrase them? (i still use 1.2.1)

I'll see about putting in phrases for these in the next release.

User posts a new thread 3 points.

Someone views your thread 0.01.
Points per good rep 1.
Points per bad rep 1.
Referal 25.

Sometimes it seems points are getting awarded when there is no activity. I am running it on a dev board and there is normally only myself on it. I will log in as a shlub user to test things out also.

That has really been my only major issue.

On our board this is imprtant because you can get products with these points.

U should disable stuff like points for rating threads, points for adding calendar events, referral points modifier, and the other ones that u dont want to use. If u enter a valid of 0 for them, they will be disabled.

Code:

		// dont award points for the thread creator
		if ($threadinfo['postuserid'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
		{

This code is here to make sure the postuserid is not the same as the logged in user. I can refresh my own thread on my test forums all day and the points dont increase at all.

Unless I can replicate this problem, I cant really find a fix for it.

This will be fixed in v1.2.6, it was in the wrong section.

Did u rebuild the gift postbits? It reads the gifts out of the estoregifts table, if its not in that table, the gift wont get put into the postbit. If u ever had an older gifts installed to 'gifts' it will not pickup gifts from any old gift hacks. That's the only issue I can see, the fix all gift postbits in the admin cp is working properly since v1.2.5

It shows it for me on the test forums. Try to reupload all files again, and make sure the files are uploading with overwrite.

It does allow u to specify which forum to gain points from posting in. But not individual threads.

In v1.2.6 there will be a new template update to navbar that will allow it to use the Admin Usergroups to display the Admin Donate in the drop down.

If u want a new usergroup to be able to use Admin Donate, u must ALSO goto Manage Options -> Admin Donate -> Additional Usergroups -> Add the ones u want as well, it has a double check for security purposes.

To tell the truth I have never tried a NEGATIVE points number on a forum, its possible that putting -10 will take away points from the thread, but not 100% sure, it might cause an MySQL error too...... Needs to be tested.

EDIT: Just tested, I put -1 for Thread View in a forum, then viewed a post in that forum, it takes 1 point away every time I refresh someone else's thread. Refreshing my own thread does not take away any points.
