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.

4.0.0 (19 Jan '10 ) - Initial Release
4.0.1 (21 Jan '10 ) - Removed some junk from templates, added enable private bets option
4.0.2 (24 Jan '10 ) - fixed options for hiding vcash, added some more stuff to teh settings screen, added some vCash utilities (reset balances, give to everyone, set default balance) and fixed some template bugs.
4.0.3 (25 Jan '10) - fixed bugs I introduced in 4.0.2 see post #109

You could probably ask 500 of my members that use it regularly, that is how it worked and I never made any customizations, or anyone else.

I would however pay for someone to do that no problem, as it was much more fun for everyone.

Still loving this mod though!

Bobster is correct, that was never default behaviour. There are instuctions in the 3.5 version thread on how to make this change, but I ran into an issue when having a quick look at it under 4.0, so it is more than a quick job (and not one I can do at the moment).

BTW - I still use vb3.8 and have that same code modification.

[Mickie D]

No problem Dartho, thanks for looking.

Can you point me to that information please, I will take a little look.

But I can promise you I never done this modification, very strange?

Found it here.

Ah - I remember now, you're probably using this version whioch would explain why you did not have to modifiy the code: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...17#post2157617

[Mickie D]

That was exactly the one I installed

Thought I was going crackers there.

I have just got in from work but seen that the switch uses "vcash" instead of "vCash"

Looking over it now hopefully I can get it going

Mick

[Mickie D]

I got it working!

It was a very easy fix - you just change the "CASE".

If anyone is interested and all credits to the original add on maker... I done nothing really!

You will need to follow the instructions from this post
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=716

But when it comes to the edit for function_vbookie.php use this code below

// Additional pay/debit bookie
function vbookie_take_bookie_cash($userid, $amount)
{
	global $vbulletin;

	$bookie = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid=$userid");

	switch ($vbulletin->options['vbookiecash'])
	{
		case 'vCash':
		
		
			if($amount > $bookie['vbookie_cash'])
			{
				$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET vbookie_cash=0 WHERE userid=$userid");
			}
			else
			{
				$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET vbookie_cash=vbookie_cash-$amount WHERE userid=$userid");
			}
			break;
		case 'uCash':
			if($amount > $bookie['ucash'])
			{
				$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET ucash=0 WHERE userid=$userid");
			}
			else
			{
				$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET ucash=ucash-$amount WHERE userid=$userid");
			}
			break;
		case 'eBux':
			if($amount > $bookie['ebux'])
			{
				$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET ebux=0 WHERE userid=$userid");
			}
			else
			{
				$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET ebux=ebux-$amount WHERE userid=$userid");
			}
			break;
		case 'custom':
			($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('vbookie_take_bookie_cash')) ? eval($hook) : false;
	}
}

Hi dartho, is this something you would be interested in doing. Would be of good use for us.
