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.

I am running this on 4.1.9

Anyway i can change the font color for the entire mod? I run my site on a dark background and the dark font doesnt work so well

Hey guys, I'm having a problem on my board with placing bets. We make the threads and they turn out like this, with no text fields to input bets into. So obviously we can't bet. Would anybody mind helping me out?



BTW this just happened since I upgraded to 4.2.0 yesterday.

Exact same issue on default style.

@Steveboogie + @TopShelfGamer link?

@cygy2k yours looks ok, but can't see the sites default style

[cygy2k]

Here is a link to a Bookie thread showing that the outcomes aren't displaying even using the default style...

[dartho]

But the outcomes are showing?

[cygy2k]

Odd - it doesn't show anything for registered members, regardless of usergroup. I've added every usergroup id to the setting with exception of the non-registered users.

[cygy2k]

Any help on why betting outcomes aren't shown to logged in users regardless of usergroup even though they're entered in the allowed to bet field? I can see the above only when logging out.

[dartho]

Set me up with an account with suitable permissions and I'll see what I can find.

This and other reported problems (other than the fixed navigation) do not exist on a test site recently upgraded to vb4.2 so not sure what I will be able to do.

I suggest turning on HTML comments for template names, viewing source code and then log out and view source code and compare the two to see what differences there are. If you'd like me to look - you'll need to turn this option on also or allow me admincp access so I can
