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.
4) Refresh the Admin CP and you will see all of the vbBux / vbPlaza Admin CP features at the top.
5) UNINSTALL THE OLD eBux / eStore NOW!! Go to Admin CP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> eBux / eStore -> Uninstall.
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.
3) Refresh the Admin CP and get to checking your settings!
NOTE: You will be happy know that NO templates have been updated from v1.5.0 to v1.5.2!

New Installation Instructions:
1) Upload all of the files/folders in the UPLOAD folder to your forum's root folder.
2) Import the product-vbbuxplaza.xml via Admin CP -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product.
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.

THANK YOU SO MUCH CMX - This is GREAT!

Yes, what is the postbit limit at this time? Can it be changed?

Q: When adding new gifts, do we just upload them to our gifts directory as before in the old hack?

Comment: You da man! I'm watching this thread closely and will be installing very soon...like I said, I was just waiting on gifts and ribbons. I will be donating something something to you as soon as I download this awesome product!!! Can I say it again? You da man!

Off to have a looksee at your forum....

Feature noted.

To add a new gift just upload the file to the folder, it reads the files in the images/gifts folder automatically.

i.e. let the user choose which bank he want to deposit money in...or maybe all of them if he wants. One bank charges 10 points a day but has a 50% interest rate over 10 days, another one is free to deposit but only .5% a day/week/month...etc

things that it should have if made:
admin can set how many banks, interest rate, is that interest rate daily?4days?weekly?, deposit fee, monthly 'account' charge (could be daily, weekly too)

Interesting idea, I'll give it some thought.

There was a bug in the categories admin feature, search this post to edit the fix yourself or wait for v1.0.8

1.) It allowed me to buy one for myself. Okies, that's cool..
2.) The image shows up in the postbit but when I hover my mouse over the image it does not display the message that was sent with the gift.
3.) When I go into usercp, I do not see the gift in there...not sure if that is avail at this time...

Q: Where can we see what the message was for the gift sent?

Thanks BUNCHES! Looking very sweet!!!!

1) Should it not allow you to buy yourself a gift? I'll add an admin option for that I guess.
2) Thats because of the way it stores the gift names in the user table. I did it quick by just adding the image name into the user table. If it's changed now to add the reason in there too, it might have some incompatibility issues, but I'll look into it.
3) The gifts do not show up in the Admin User CP yet.

1.) no biggy, k. It's alright if they can buy for themselves...I think it was requested like this anyways in the last gift hack.
2.) no biggy, k...I likes it this way...maybe if it did show the messages it might slow the forums down? My members go hog wild over buying gifts...lol..
3.) Okies, thanks...

This was the first release, so it was simple to get it out there and functioning. Tweaks will be made on the forum options as time goes on. Just like the Thief option, it took a few tries to get it working properly.

-CMX

sounds good, maybe an option to make certain users/userids exempt from any changes.
