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.

Version Control
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
4.0.4 (25 Jan '10) - fixed time zone not being saved, can delete events, + plus a couple other things.
4.0.5 (Australia Day '10) - no longer uses bitfields for permissions, fixed vCash display, fixed stats page error
4.0.6 (27 Jan '10) - fixed TABLE PREFIX issue in vBookie stats page
4.0.7 (23 Mar '10) - fixed redirect bug when editing events, fixed display of cash holdings in events, added plugin to make template mods (no template mods needed now) and updated code to 4.0.2 standards, added hooks for vbcredits integration.
NOTE 0- if upgrading from pre 4.0.7, you will need to eitehr revert your "newthread" temp[late, or manually undo template edits as there is now a plugin which does this for you. Check teh readme.txt in the archive for more info.

Well i'm not really sure, but to start the text doesn't show up.. Not that the text is the same color as the background, but it isn't there at all.!

Not found anywhere, not when i post a thread, below the window. (there is only a just a check box)

Then once you do post the thread there are options for amounts, points, etc, but they are just empty box's to fill out no text to tell you what they are for.

Then after you put some random numbers in (to test) above the post is the "betting info" but still is just blank with empty box's, or numbers that i entered.


Thanks for any help. :up:

That looks like a problem with your language/phrases or something?

I'm not sure why it would do that...

In the 3rd picture - the red circle should have the text "Post a vBookie Event" which is from te phrase "vbookie_post_an_event" search for that in your phrase manager and see if it's there?

That's a template - search your phrases ...

[Gamelobby]

If i search "Phrase Text Only" i get...

No Phrases Matched Your Query

But if i search "Phrase Text and Phrase Variable Name" it comes up (see attached image)


Does that help.?
Thanks

[dartho]

Strange - go back to the template you posted, search for

{vb:rawphrase vbookie_post_an_event}

and replace with

Post a vBookie Event

does it then show? I don;t know why phrases would not be resolving ?
