This project IS modifiable, so if someone want to take on the task of modifying it to conform more to Vbulletin, by all means be my guest. As it is right now, users will have to create another log in.

As far as I know this should work with all Vbulletin 4 versions, but I have no way of testing that.


Change Log:
Updated version 1.1
Now includes product xml. No need for a
template change.

Looking at that line it says:

dl($prefix . 'mcrypt.' . PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX) or die('The Mcrypt module could not be loaded.');

I'm going to guess this is a server/php issue - and I say guess cause I really do not know why it will not work for you.

Perhaps someone else has a better idea.

man o man, I was really excited about this mod. sigh.... thanks for the help though, appreciate it

Ok I got this plugin installed with no issues and seems to be working fine. I have a question about importing the pickem picks .xml file. It shows as a product in the Product Manager but that's it. There is no other place in the admincp or vbulletin settings does it appear after importing the .xml file.

Also I had created an account and later lost that accounts password. I noticed then when requesting to be sent another password the email part of the plug is not working. What method might there be to get the email part of the plugin working?

[1320Nation]

I didn't mean for everyone to disappear. Does anybody know what email system this plugin uses. Is it sending it's emails through the vbulletin board, the server, the database? I see in the files it says php mailer, but for me I'm clueless beyond that with the email part of this plugin. The email part of the plugin is not working on my setup for whatever reason. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Your best bet is to take your questions over here:

http://sourceforge.net/p/phppickem/discussion/998894/

Better support there for this addon than anywhere else I could find.

I hope it helps!

I got the email issue resolved and thanks for the heads up with the link for support.

am I suppose to make any changes to this line?

$siteUrl = 'http://localhost/personal/phppickem.com/application/';

should I add www.mydomain.com any where in it?

[Krusty1231]

Mine is like this:

$siteUrl = 'http://localhost/Football/application/';

Football being the name of the folder - not phppickem or whatever it was originally. I just renamed it to what I'd remember what it was on my FTP.

Hope it helps.

Also for those that are using it, they added some mods to it in the above thread I mentioned.

Makes the login screen and has optional team backgrounds for your users to select when entering the pool.

I just blocked out my players real names in the screenshot.

I would really like to get this mod working for major league baseball. If anyone is interested please message me.

Safe to say the chances of me getting this converted to mlb pickem are slim to none? Did Reycer just vanish? lol
