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.

Try setting the "Cash/Points System" option in Admincp->Settings->Options->vBookie Settings to "uCash"

@dcuellar - I'll always listen to (well, read) suggestions, can't promise any more though

[bart6767]

Is there any way of adding a block to the CMS that shows all Vbookie games ?

[dcuellar]

I just want one on one bets. I want to allow my members to challenge others personally.

For example. dartho, I bet you 50K that the Orlando Magic will lose against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Challenges can be sent through PM's, e-mails, etc.

[iguano]

I have installed uCash and turn in vbookie option from vcash to ucash, but in the posts i see again the vcash

[dartho]

Sorry - my bad. You should be set the option to uCash in vBookie settings and disable the vBookie: Add Cash to Postbit plugin.

When bets are placed, is it being deducted ffrom uCash balances?

[dartho]

I'll also look more at uCash (as the only vb4.0 points syetm sop far) integration at the next release to try and make easy to do

You need to go to the plugin manager and disable vBookie: Add Cash to Postbit. For some reason turning it off with the mod doesn't work. Least didn't for me.

[dartho]

hi iguano,
Did you disable the vBookie: Add Cash to Postbit Plugin - not a settings - I mean in Plugin Manager.

I need to change a couple more things to make teh Settiungs work properly



Edit - Yes - just as Steelersfan said. It should be fixed in next version
