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.

Replace with:

{vb:rawphrase Post a vBookie Event}
or
{vb:rawphrase Post_a_vBookie_Event}

*edit*

I changed it to
{vb:rawphrase post_a_vbookie_event}

Still not showing.

[dartho]

No - I meant as stated, replace {vb:rawphrase vbookie_post_an_event} with Post a vBookie Event but I'm more awake now and its a pointless exercise anyway as it will show...

Is that phrase in the language you use?

[Gamelobby]

Yes i only use one language.


I'm going to upgrade to 4.2 here later this week, so i'll just let you know what happens then.

[johon]

My vBookie is working well in 4.2.0, but I have still 2 small problems:

1. I have already mentioned it some posts above: I cannot switch on the vCash-display in Postbit becaus it's screwed up as described before by some guys. I don't know how to change the Plugin order in 4.2.0...

2. The setting Enable vBookie Navbar? doesn't work - the tab is always visible, either it's switched on or off.

Any help with these problems would be appreciated....

Ok so now i upgraded to 4.2 & things are showing up, but i still have some issues i think.
When creating the post it shows whats needed, but after it's posted there is no way to make a bet.?

FYI. i am having other issues with some other things, so it could be related to the upgrade to 4.2

Did you add the missing template "vbokkie_outcomebits" as mentioned here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=894?

[mmacrypt]

Hey Dartho any plans to make this mod work with vBulletin 5. I'm no where close to switching over yet but can promise I won't do so until there is some type of bookie for it
