Add-On Releases - vBookie for vBulletin 4

Please See the first post for a F.A.Q.
I will endevour to link to useful posts within this thread there as I spot them. You should check there before posting issues etc.

This is a port of vBookie for vBulletin 3.5 by Andreas which was a port of vBookie - vBulletin Betting Hack by tjdrico. Permission was given by tjdrico to port this.

vBookie is a 'bookmakers' or betting extension to vBulletin. It enables authorised members to post Events and Outcomes that forum members can bet on. Each Outcome has its own set of odds, and odds can be modified through the life of an Event (bets that are placed are stored with the prevailing odds, so even if the odds change, your users are paid at the correct rate).

Once the results are known, Events can be settled and forums members awarded their winnings.

vBookie uses its own vCash by default, but this has no more use than as 'bragging rights'.

Although vBookie does not have any built-in facility to integrate with any other store hacks, it's a very simple job to hack vBookie itself to integrate it with any store/points system you care to use.

Hey Dartho perhaps you can help.

I am trying to style the cash in Postbit.

I have edited plugin ( postbit_display_complete) but its producing errors and I cannot see why:

Original code is:

if (($vbulletin->options['vbookieactive']) && ($vbulletin->options['vbookiecash']=="vCash") && ($vbulletin->options['vbookiecashon']))
{
$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts] .= "<dt>".$vbphrase['vbookie_vcash']."</dt> <dd><b>$ </b>".$post['vbookie_cash']."</dd>";
}

What I want to do is put this in a div . like so:

if (($vbulletin->options['vbookieactive']) && ($vbulletin->options['vbookiecash']=="vCash") && ($vbulletin->options['vbookiecashon']))
{
$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts] .= "<div class="australia_postbit">".$vbphrase['vbookie_vcash']." : <b>$ </b>".$post['vbookie_cash']."</div>";
}

Getting errors when parsing the template ( is it the : that is causing the error do you think ? )

[TimberFloorAu]

I am a twat. Just changed " to ' in div tag

if (($vbulletin->options['vbookieactive']) && ($vbulletin->options['vbookiecash']=="vCash") && ($vbulletin->options['vbookiecashon']))
{
$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts] .= "<div class='australia_postbit'>".$vbphrase['vbookie_vcash']." : <b>$ </b>".$post['vbookie_cash']."</div>";
}

Fixed.

Hey dartho

I am writing a currency integration with vBookie, but there is a serious bug preventing the proper use of the "Custom" currency setting - the casing is wrong.

In the setting code, you are using

<option value=\"custom\" " . iif($setting['value']=='custom','selected="selected"') . ">Custom</option>

but it really should be

<option value=\"Custom\" " . iif($setting['value']=='Custom','selected="selected"') . ">Custom</option>

fixing that will allow your addon to actually call all those nice hooks with the switch statements on that setting Until this is fixed, my addon will have to correct this for you... but of course thats not very ideal.

Thanks for porting this to vb4!

*edit - while youre in there, would you consider adding some hooks around these areas?

vbookie.php line 1419 (for additional validation of a new event)
vbookie.php line 1560 (for additional processing after new event is added/updated)
function_vbookie.php line 168 (for additional processing after event is deleted)

It would be much appreciated!

[dartho]

Just sent you a PM (actually, just about to!)

[War.Frog]

I'm VERRRRY happy to see you two working on integration!

[dartho]

4.0.7 (23 Mar '10) released - fixed redirect bug when editing events, fixed display of cash holdings in events, added plugin to make template mods (no template mods needed now) and updated code to 4.0.2 standards, added hooks for vbcredits integration.
NOTE 0- if upgrading from pre 4.0.7, you will need to eitehr revert your "newthread" temp[late, or manually undo template edits as there is now a plugin which does this for you. Check teh readme.txt in the archive for more info.

Thanks for the update! Just a note too - you may want to include in the Readme.txt to delete the edit adding user cash to spend that some people added to vbookie_event_table.

Looks like that's now redundant.

<div class="blocksubhead" align="center"><b>
	You have {vb:raw user_cash} vCash to spend.
</b></div>

Installed!

It'd be sweet if users could do private wagers
