vB3 Pets

vB3 Pets v1.0
by AutomatikStudio and others

+What This Hack Does+
This hack gives your users the option to have their very own furry little pets. Posting on your boards is what keeps them alive!

+Installation+
+ Queries - 4
+ File edits - 3 files
+ Template Additions - 1
+ Template Edits - 2
+ Image Uploads

+UPDATE+
+Thanks to Link14716, your selections stay selected after your users save them in their profiles. The ZIP file has been updated with the new code. Or if you just want the code then check out THIS post.
+IF YOUR HACK HAS THE ANIMAL 'CATEPILLER' MAKE SURE YOU FIX THE SPELLING ERROR!! Silly me, I misspelled the word 'catepiller'. You need to update /includes/functions_showthread.php and the MODIFYPROFILE template from the word 'catepillar' to 'catepiller' with an E.

*Note: I no longer support this mod in any form or fashion. Please don't PM me with questions about it.

thanks

has anyone modified this to restrict pets to certain usergroups?

If someone has already done that, sharing the nods would be nice. It would save me duplicating effort. I'm not planning to install until vB3 comes out final.

Restriction is very easy to do by modifying the template "modifyprofile":
Change from

<option value="255" <if condition="$bbuserinfo[pettype] == 255">selected</if>>Adminpet</option>

... to ...

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6"><option value="255" <if condition="$bbuserinfo[pettype] == 255">selected</if>>Adminpet</option></if>

In that case only the admins have access to that pet... You can also use Logical OR for adding other Groups...

Great addon. Ive altered it slightly to include options for colours and different types of pet. I'd be great if they could grow / evolve at certain levels. If you want an idea of what the pet tables look like within the new vb3 postbit you can check my forum here: http://www.ragol.co.uk/forums/

Although I probably wouldn't use this hack, for fear that people would post senseless spam just to keep their critters happy, I think it's a great hack! LOL I'm sure it's alot of fun.

Umm will there be a battle system placed in later versions? This would be nice lol.

The plan (as of now) is to have the battle system in place for this next upcoming version (v2.0)...hopefully later this week we'll be releasing screenshots and a list of features for v2...rock.
