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.

Not plugin changes, that messes up your Navbar links!

Template changes!

k so changed it to this:

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'The Bookies'">
<li class="selected">
    <a class="navtab" href="vbookie.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase vbookie}</a>
<ul class="floatcontainer">
	<li><a href="vbookie.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">vBookie Home</a></li>
	<li><a href="vbookie.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=bets">Your Bets</a></li>
	<li><a href="vbookie.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=stats">Bet Statistics</a></li>
	<li class="popupmenu">
	  <a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">Books</a>
	  <ul class="popupbody popuphover">
	  <li><a href="vbookie.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}type=OPEN">Open Books</a></li>
	  <li><a href="vbookie.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}type=CLOSED">Closed Books</a></li>
	  <li><a href="vbookie.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}type=SETTLED">Settled Books</a></li>
	  <li><a href="vbookie.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}type=ABANDONED">Abandoned Books</a></li>
          </ul>
         </li>
</ul>
</li>
<vb:else />
<li><a class="navtab" href="vbookie.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase vbookie}</a></li>
</vb:if>

No difference

I'll forgive you as you're English, and you're in Queensland

As stated back a few posts, change {vb:rawphrase vbookie} on the 3rd and the 2nd last lines of that template - they are unchanged in the code you pasted ...

Revert the template, try again

[shzad1]

bro pls teach me how 2 use vbookie? any tutorial i dunno how 2 add new bets

[GreigM]

Create a new thread and tick the box for, Yes, post a vBookie Event with this thread, this will open the options for your bet, and odds etc and is well documented in that page

edit: actually this will work for members currently registered but anyone new would still start with 500, would it be possible to add a admincp option to set the default vcash value? I guess the 500 default is set in the xml import, maybe we could just change it in there?

ALTER TABLE user CHANGE COLUMN vbookie_cash vbookie_cash BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED NULL DEFAULT 1000  ;

Changes the default value to '1000' for new members (if you've already imported the product)

Without sounding like a Banana Bender could you post the code to change the NAVBAR replacement to "The Bookies"

Simple, Easy thanks
