Major Additions - vbBux / vbPlaza v1.5.8 (Points + Store System)

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.

Did you disable the categories for all usergroups?

It works flawless for me, the only problem that I have had was self inflected, I had edited a template, and updated but until i reverted the template I had problems with stuff showing, but after the revert everything took right off just as it was suppose to.

[Ignignokt]

CMX_CMGSCCC: I hate to ask for it again, but i've seen quite a few request this feature; I also believe it would be simple to create.

Could you make it so richest users is computed by the value of all money (in bank and in pocket). Couldn't another table be made which adds points + bankpoints and draw that from the database?

[Gallio]

Did you edit the postbit/postbit_legacy templates, if you did, it should show up in the postbit information.

I'm not sure where to find this file, Is it in the admin CP? or the Hosting files?

Would be nice if that's how it showed in postbit too...as pocket plus bank points.

[BeatificFaith]

Thank you so much for this! It works beautifully.... Your support has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you!!

[lordofgun]

How about an Option where you could buy the ability to hide your actions in the store for a period of time. (example: you juust changed someone's user title, but don't want them to know it's you that changed it.)

Did you turn off the avatar category? or the items individually?

Also when upgrading to v1.1.0.1a, did you upload the files again as one critical file had changed in this respect.

Do you have the logging option enabled for each of these features in the eStore Options in the Admin CP? If so, they will show up in your history when you donate or use the bank.

Did you do the template edit? If so, try the admin CP option that says "Fix All Gift Postbits".

I turned it off a category... but it stll show for me in the store page,

This was fixed in v1.1.0.1a, make sure you reupload all of the files though.

It sorts like this when you view the top 30 or whatever richest list by clicking on the header for the Richest Users, I have to do a fix for it for the next release when it lists the top 10 though. Stay tuned for that fix in the next version.

I could add another variable for $userinfo['totalpoints'] into a future release and then you could put it in the postbit as well. I'll do that in the next version.

Thanx for using eBux/eStore!

LoL, that kind of defeats the purpose of putting it in their history then.

You could always do that now by going to Manage Options, select Change Others User Title, then change Log History to OFF, then it will not keep a history for that action.

They are two different TEMPLATES depending on whether you have your postbit above the post (postbit) or if you have your postbit beside your post (postbit_legacy), like vB2.

Complete the edits as mentioned in the readme.txt found in the zip

Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates (from dropdown) > Postbit Templates > postbit

Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates (from dropdown) > Postbit Templates > postbit_legacy

[lordofgun]

right..was just thinking of it for an individual thing to spend points on...just brainstorming here.

And the total points in postbit will rock. :up:

Thanks. It works. I wonder is it possible for admins to view logs for other members so we can track whether they abuse the system or not?

Not yet, but in a future version I'm going to have the system store a FULL history for each individual item purchased!

SO each and every transaction will be logged when I get time to add the History for "items" instead of the user history.

Yup, have reuploaded 1.1.0.1.a and imported the product again, overwriting everything. have tried every setting I can think of but cannot get a category to not show when set to non active.
