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.

Are you intent on having chaos on your forums by having people that were banned just for the heck of it, cant login because they dont know their name (and thus have to do all kindsa funky stuff like reset the password) and changing thread titles letting people actually LOSE the thread?

Same kind of reasoning for the other options including move to top/bottom and sticky. Also user title I am just dead set against personally. You really dont want to have users invading eachothers account...

Just my 2 cents

Also, looks good, if it gets some nice new features Ill dig it

(the whole modify look and shit of user names and titles isnt really my thing

however a shop to get people posting is

)

creedmaniac · #63 02-02-2006, 01:54 PM

request > disable some elses signature (possibly for x ammount of days?)...should be able to set the cost per day

also...anything that you can change for yourself...there should be an option to do it to someone else...i love starting wars

will deff be click install in a few days once it gets stable

Deimos · #64 02-02-2006, 01:56 PM

Great hack, thankyou

I'll donate some funds to ya, if you get the ribbons/gifts hack working with this!

CrazyShooter · #65 02-02-2006, 01:56 PM

I would love to have ban a user... But in a differant way..

1000 points for the actual ban, then 2000 points per day to keep the ban alive, but the maximum is only 7 days

The Chief · #66 02-02-2006, 01:57 PM

This really is an awesome hack, I'll try to donate some money later on when I install it

creedmaniac · #67 02-02-2006, 01:57 PM

also, some of these things...such as any 'bad' stuff like changing anothers title, or pretty much anything that changes someone elses stuff...could it be set to require admin/mod approval?

JBMoney · #68 02-02-2006, 02:00 PM

Excellent, but NEEDS VBookie tie in.

CrazyShooter · #69 02-02-2006, 02:04 PM

What is vbukie

I wouldn't think that it would be neccessary as vBookie uses its own system points, but yeah I guess it could be useful...

well for one I would have it ban them to a special forum, not banned altogether. and yes, I guess I like a bit of chaos. There's a lot of flaming on my board and I think this would just give them more tools to help the flames

The options could be set for like a 24 hour period only, or just make it so the other user has to buy his name/title/thread title back, etc.

But for the ban one, I would try to find a way to redirect the user to the 'banned' forum or they'd get a special popup informing them of what had happened, who paid to ban them, etc.

yeah, I agree that would be pretty cool

When do u think you can add some of these store objects?

I found some big bugs but you can change the ebux filed to the vbookies cash field and they can use the same totals.

I think people should chill out a bit on suggestions (can you tell there was some pent up urges here?) until a good and generally bug free version is out.

MAKE SURE YOU TURN YOUR BANKS OFF UNTIL IT IS PATCHED

heh.. I'll make a suggestion - the option to reset everyone's bank accounts.

vBookie does have its own system points, but if you are using vBookie and uCash, as many people do, it makes absolutely no sense to use two 'currencies' (one to bet with and one to do everything else). For this reason, vBookie has long been set up to use its own currency OR uCash/UttStore. Since this is essentially a replacement for uCash/UttStore, and one would hope a long-term one, it makes sense that vBookie should have a tie in.

That said, doing so is probably a vBookie issue and not an eBux issue.

However, it's probably an easy thing to do, and would certainly speed acceptance of this over similar hacks.

I've posted on vBookie too.
