Change it back to /admincp

Install the hack

Then change it to whatever new name you want after you've installed.

What if I also wanted to install vbookie? If I change the money row (in admincp/icash) to vbookie_cash, what will happen to the data already stored under the money row? Would it be better to somehow tell vbookie to use 'money' in place of 'vbookie_cash'?

Ok, I tried it, with mixed results. I don't know if its because of my internet connection (somewhat sporadic today), but my funds were not decremented by the specified "Costs per Play", even during the one time the jackpot was incremented as expected (other times I played the jackpot didn't move at all).

I'm using all integer numbers in my icash, while ibproarcade uses fractional values. Could this have something to do with it?

thanks for the reply tool blast

I think you will probably need your admincp to remain as admincp since i think the admin file calls files in the admincp directory. maybe open and edit the file and change all instances to what you want them to be??

Armstrong i will route this thru mrzeropage and see what he says

and miller, i have never seen any errors like that, try what i said above.

Blaine, if I'm not running IbProarcade will it still work if I do the upgrade for this? Are there any other changes besides integrating IbProarcade?

[Emmy2]

Blaine, me again, with another idea, hope you don't mind. The appeal of your points system is its simplicity...that is, we aren't uploading script for a whole bunch of features we don't use or want. Would it be a good idea then to keep the main script as clean as possible (that is, features that all forums use, like replying to posts, reading threads, voting in polls etc.) and create separate add-on scripts for features like ibProarcarde? That way people installing this can choose from the list of add-ons what they want for their forum and the basic script is kept simple and clean and relevant to everyone.

What think? Because, for example, like I mentioned earlier I would like an add-on for points for "thanking" posts...but not everyone has the Thank You hack on their forum, so it might be best to keep it all separate from the main script.

Don't know if any of that made sense, hope so.

[Emmy2]

tiptoeing in.....me again!

Here's another idea: Is there some way to give points for clicking on different things in the forum that the admin can set up themselves? (so you don't have to create separate scripts?)

In other words, a place in the ICash admin panel where I could simply enter a url and the number of points for clicking on it?

Example, points for clicking on the url to my chatroom (so members would get points for using chat) would look something like this in the admin panel:

Earn Points for Visiting Url: http://mysite.com/forums/chat/flashchat.php
Points Earned Per Click: 10

This could also apply to the Thank You hack, could it not? The full url to that is something like:

http://mysite.com/forums/showthread....hanks&p=453480

but could it be set up so it ignores the post number and rewards for...

http://mysite.com/forums/showthread.php?do=post_thanks

Long story short, if there is some way to include urls in the admin panel that the ADMIN could set up themselves for point-giving. A sort of generic script that could be used in various situations so the admin could customize what they want to give points for.

Just an idea from my overactive imagination.

Same here - I like icash for its simplicity. In that case, what basic functions do forums universally need? IMHO, the following:
1. points per thread
2. points per post
3. points per referral
4. points transfers (also called a donation feature, used for members to pay each other instead of routing everything to the forum admin)
5. magic transfers (for admin and mods to adjust users' points without affecting his own balance)
6. transfers log (who gave what to whom, when and how much; this is so admins have something to work with in case of disputes)

icash already has 1,2&3 above; I hope blaine can include 4,5,&6. Everything else (including the ipb integration that I can use) is just fluff, and I would rather not have them than see icash get bloated. I rather like Emmy's suggestion of having addons that we can pick and choose from.

The basic script does more than 1,2,3 in your list. Here is the current list as it appears in Admin CP:

1. Points per character posted...amount of points a user gets for each character posted in their post (would like to see this integrated with the replies and new threads points, not separated in that you choose one or the other. In other words, a base amount for adding a post, then additional points based on the LENGTH of that post).

2. Points per new thread started

3. Points per reply

4. Points on registration

5. Points per referral

6. Donate to members (Admins giving members points)

--------------------

Other things I'd like to see in the BASIC (for everyone) script are:

7. Points for reading threads

8. Points for creating a poll

9. Points for voting in a poll

10. Points for each week someone is a member of your forum (as long as they have logged in that week). This rewards "loyalty" and re-visits.

--------------------

Then I would like a feature where Admins could customize the points by adding urls that when members click they get points for. Examples:

a. Visiting the Chatroom url

b. Clicking the "thank you for this post" link

This way it's unique to each forum and you aren't creating separate scripts for those items if you don't run them on your forum.

---------------------

Finally, I would like to see Add-ons for more complex features not coverable by the simple "points for clicking url" feature above, and that not all forums use (these would require separate installations). Examples:

i. Add-on for IbProarcade

ii. Add-on for Inferno Quiz (points for creating quiz, taking quiz)


That would be my fantasy dream setup.
