Major Additions - vbBux / vbPlaza v1.5.8 (Points + Store System)

vbBux / vbPlaza v1.5.8 by CMX (http://www.cmgsccc.com)
Official Homepage - http://www.vbplaza.com

v1.5.7 AND HIGHER are now compatible with vBulletin v3.5.x and v3.6.x

Welcome to the largest points/store system for vBulletin! READ THE ENTIRE POST AGAIN AS THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES SINCE THE CONVERSION TO vbBux / vbPlaza!!

Credits: MrZeropage for ibProArcade Support, John for v3 Arcade Support, Caimakale for various additions including ribbons and his other addons for vbPlaza, defi for the addon for Paypal Subscriptions.

New Premium Modification Forum: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=171
If you post a new thread in there, it will be easier to track the answer to your thread folks!

Now with 135 Options for purchasing at your forums and this is still rising folks!

NOTE: As of this version, there is a Template Patcher helper inside the Admin CP. Admin CP -> vbPlaza Maintenance -> Auto Patch Templates, when you run this the first time, it will just list the changes that it has found/not found. If you press Attempt Auto Patches, it will modify the template changes it has found only. It will also modify all styles for your forums. I have tested this on all 3 of my licensed vBulletin production websites and the patches all worked great.

UPDATED MUST READ NOTES:
1) RE-READ THE UPGRADING OR NEW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AS THEY HAVE CHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS!!
2) IF UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION OF eBux / eStore. YOU MUST INSTALL THIS ONE FIRST TO SAVE YOUR SETTINGS. (BUT YOU WOULD KNOW THIS IF YOU READ THE UPGRADING INSTRUCTIONS!! DONT SAY I DIDNT WARN YOU!!)

Branding Free Option
If you have donated in the past, you can get the Branding Free Option for Free by sending CMX a PM on the http://www.vbplaza.com/forums Message Board.
Otherwise, you will need to purchase it by signing up for an account at http://www.vbplaza.com/forums/register.php and then going to http://www.vbplaza.com/forums/payments.php

Features List:
This section has been moved due to its length. Look in the file included insize the zip named features.txt.

Release Notes:
This section will only show the most recent changes. For the rest of the changes, look in the file included inside the zip named changes.txt.

NOTE: If you want ibProArcade, v3 Arcade or vBookie integration now, you'll have to install the appropriate Addon included in the download. The reason for these parts being packaged as Addons, is to make the install a little smaller for users who do not have an Arcade, and because both Arcades cant be installed simultaneously as well. So it saves space only installing the one that you currently have.

v1.5.8 Updates:
1) Bugfix: Quick editing a post with BB Codes, modified the post directly instead of modifying a copy.
2) Bugfix: Some phrases fixed.
3) Bugfix: TABLEPREFIX bug has been fixed.
4) Bugfix: Addon Product XML sheets do not have executionorder in them anymore for vB 3.5 compatibility.

Database Backups Recommended!
Although I have upgraded 3 forums with this script already, it IS recommended that you backup your database before installing this product!!

NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR UPGRADING IF YOU HAD A PREVIOUS VERSION OF eBux / eStore INSTALLED!!
1) DO NOT UNINSTALL eBux / eStore (UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOSE ANY AND ALL SETTINGS.)
2) Reupload all of the files in the upload folder to your forum's root folder. Make sure that all files are being overwritten. Do not move on to the next step until all files are transferred successfully!
NOTE: It could take a long time to install if you have a lot of registered users, be PATIENT! It should display the messages as it goes along to let you know that it IS working.
3) After finished with step 2!! Reimport the product-vbbuxplaza.xml file via Admin CP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product. Make sure that Allow Overwrite is set to YES.

5) UNINSTALL THE OLD eBux / eStore NOW!! Go to Admin CP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> eBux / eStore -> Uninstall.
6) You can delete all files/folders that have the word estore or elottery in them from the FTP as well.
7) You will need to redo the template edits listed below as almost all of them have changed since the previous eBux / eStore.

If upgrading from a previous version of vbBux / vbPlaza follow these instructions:
1) Reupload all of the files in the upload folder to your forum's root folder. Make sure that all files are being overwritten. Do not move on to the next step until all files are transferred successfully!
2) After finished with step 2!! Reimport the product-vbbuxplaza.xml file via Admin CP -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product. Make sure that Allow Overwrite is set to YES.

The file editing version is definately the better option for people not comfortable running queries and vbookie is pretty solid so unlikely to be updated very often (which is why it was my first suggestion some 70 odd pages back).

If you know your database and are comfortable with sql then the query is the far more elegant and effective solution, if you don't know your way round sql the file edits are far safer and far easier to reverse if you make an error.

If I made a hack calling the ebux field from the user table it wouldn't find it because you have it renamed to ucash. It would have to be a pretty big hack to do that as most hacks will use the functions CMX has built in, but nonetheless it is a possibility.

[shaynehammy]

When a user is recieving reputation, its doesnt seem to be affecting cash in anyway. Why is this happening?

It affects the person giving the reputation, not the user receiving. Make sure you have a value set in your AdminCp >> eBux Options >> Manage Settings >> Points Per Good Reputation and Points Per Bad Reputation.

If those are set and the person giving the reputation still isn't getting points, make sure you have 1.1.2 installed. I know it works because my wife just sat here and gave people reputation to earn free points. Luckily it only allowed her to give 10 people reputation in a 24 hour period.

OT but it would be better if the table and field were variables that could configured. This way something like vbookie could easilly be used for both estore and ushop

how come it doesnt show?

A lot of template changes need to happen for the lottery, as well as a page to view the "past winners" soon too.

Originally Posted by MissKalunji

It counts the number of tickets in the specified lottery and then generates a random number from 0 to that number and pulls an entry out of the winners table randomly.

It happens because the initial cost of the lottery is 0.00 and it gives access to anybody. I don't think it checks the price after you select the lottery you want to purchase in the drop down box. It allows you to continue to the next page to make the actual purchase, this is where the check should occur to prevent it from letting you get to the page to make the final purchase.

Will be fixed in the next release.

Because they are listed inside the estore_gifts table of course. Editing in the Admin CP is just to fix any bugs that show up in the postbit. There is currently no Admin Edit feature for editing the ones in the MEMBERINFO yet.

Interest is showing this: Next Bank Interest: 01-01-1970, 12:00 AM

Users can buy lottery tickets even if they don't have enough money. If they do this, they go into the negative point range.

This will be fixed in the next version, it was a minor bug.

Example.. I would like to set the jackpot to 0... Then as people buy tickets, it goes into the jackpot.. Is that how this works?

No, the jackpot is settable right now, its the first incarnation of the eLottery system, so it will grow with features over time. Your suggestion has been noted.

This is giving anybody without their birth year set the senior discount. I have my birth month and day set, but not the year and it is giving me the senior discount. I don't require the birth year on my site.

The weird number was throwing me for a loop. I couldn't figure it out.

This will be fixed in the next release.

Same goes for other options that effect forums

Another question:

The setting: "Expires X Days after Purchase" does this mean that the item disappears from the users itemlist after the ammount of time (if he didn?t use it)?
Or does it mean that after X Days the thread he sticked will get unsticked again?

The second option would be very usefull

Or what about denieing some colors for usernames for example.
So that users can?t change there username color and layout so that they look like admins or mods

A short "how to" for implementing other hacks using eBux would be nice too.
I for example use PhotoPlog Lite and I would like to limit the number of photos users can upload by default (can be set via the photoplog options) but I would like to have another eStore item that will increase the number of photos +10 or such.
How would I do that?

And one more.
Would it be possible to remember if a pager message has already poped up?
If I have multiple tabs from my forum open in Firefox, then it pops up on every tab.

I also noticed that when I got a pager message on my forum tab I can?t write in this message window (happend to me 4 times during writing this) until I go to the tab with the pager message and then back

Another "Bug":
If you deposit an ammount of money into your bank the "next time of interests" is set to the new time.
It would be good if it was stored at the first deposit and then never changes.
If you deposit a new amount of money 5mins before you would get interests you would lose a whole day

The richest member display only shows points a user has not in the bank.
To realy show the richest member you would need to take the bank into account too

You can select what forums can be stickied, its under Forum Options.

The Expires X Days only works on certain kinds of purchases and on something like a sticky thread, it only will work if that user is active. It will disable soon as its been 7 days and that user who purchased it would have logged in as it uses that user's history as the "expire" feature.

I have no idea what you mention about a pager as eBS doesnt use any kind of pager at all.

Theres an eBux setting to set it not to reset the interest amount upon deposits for a few versions now I think.

The richest member displays the top overall money in pocket + money in the bank now.

With the latest version if you upload a file to a post, it should have a field for how many points you would like for people to download it. Just enter the number there, it doesnt really need a store option as it shows the attachment inside the post and checks/transfers the points upon a user clicking it. Unfortunately there's no way without a Code Modification to have it display the cost of the attachment due to it needing the imagecodes field from the attachment database.

Should be under Usergroup Permissions.

Why I need points to remove item I have?

What version do you have installed? I thought that was fixed in v1.1.2.

Gonna do it one day!

Unfortunately yes until I can create a global setting to set all items at once and then you could "modify" the options you dont want to have the settings. I hope to implement something like this in the near future.

It only blocks them from going to the forum ID that you did the block for.

We are using this to sell forum items and items in our gaming world. It would greatly help the person who delivers the items sold on the forum to the people in game if there was either a pm made to all admins when somebody buys something or a web accessable log of every transaction made in the store.

The next version 1.1.3 will have a history per item. I think sending a PM is a bit overboard, but the history will be nice, and it will have pages and a setting for how many to show per page, etc. Someone could make an addon for the PM thing I'm sure, or I could look into it when I get more time.

I cannot do anything with that account. No matter what I click, it just gives me that page.

Did you reupload all of the files in the UPLOAD folder? That is a common mistake people tend to forget as well.

Still afriad to try the immunity hacks again, so I'll prob create another test account and doit that way, see if that has been fixed.

CMX:

THx for the Lotto!!

Only request I have left is intergration with ibPro Arcade..

In the future, I'll add it so the Admin CP, search for Users can edit the otherflags and some of the other fields that are added to the usertable in case of corruption too.

Does IBProArcade have any hooks implemented?

Lottery Ends Approximately: 02-20-06, 11:21 AM

Says this in AdminCP

1140452512

How do these relate?

The time it ends is a "TIMESTAMP" from php's time() command. It's how all dates are stored into the database physically. Even the joindate's that go into when your users have registered. They could be edited to show a proper date I guess, but it was easier at the time to just display the exact number for accuracy.

Still all categories are empty?

Did anyone solve this problem?? Any solutions?

Did you reupload all of the files, then click on Rebuild Datastore from the Admin CP?

what can I do?

Thats very odd unless you have the tax percentage to like 400% lol, I dont see how that error would occur though, nonetheless, I'll look into it and test it on my test forum.

I really would like someone else to implement that as I dont want to do anything that has to do with real money due to legal reasons. Someone else is more than welcome to code this add on

Can this be set up another way then? hehe.


I am having no luck with settign this..

Its based on seconds, like how many seconds till the end of the lotto?

I put in 302400, which is 1 week. But i get this date

Lottery Ends Approximately: 01-04-70, 07:00 AM

In the time active box, it has 604800, I assume means the lotto is up for 1 week?

Maybe i am just doing it wrong.

Nope, its a TIMESTAMP from php's time() command. You would have to run take vBulletin's TIMENOW + 604800 (1 week more than the TIMENOW).

Will be fixed in the next version.

Although the amunts gets transferred to the user... how do i rectify this?

Did you enter a non-numeric value or leave it blank, that should be the only time it gives that message unless there's some new bug I havent found yet.

For now you would have to hack the action file.

Remove the following code from action.changeotherusertitle.php

	// you cant change an administrators user title :p
	if (($touser['usergroupid'] == '6') || ($touser['userid'] == '1'))
	{
		// display error, this user is protected against this action
		eval(standard_error(fetch_error('estore_protected_user')));
	}

I did it this way because I work for a big Gaming Accessory company called Pelican Performance, I cant have some idiot change my user title to 'a$$hole' or something even more ridiculous, so I disabled it.

Very creative & good idea, I'll see if I can implement that into v1.1.3.

It doesnt just yet, but it DOES save the winners into a winners table, just need to do the templates/php to display the "previous winners".

How do i rectify this?

Again this will be fixed in v1.1.3

Some gifts are not showing up on threads, but *are* showing up on the user's profile. None of these users are above the 20 gift maximum default, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Also, I thought I read earlier that the "hover" over the gifts (which would show the gift giver's name and message) was being implemented, but I don't see it on the newest version we just upgraded to (v1.1.2).

It does not show 2 of the same gifts in the profile so it can display as many different gifts as possible in the postbit. Also, you may need to use the Admin Feature to "Fix all gifts".

I havent seen this problem, I'd have to say make sure you did upload all files again every time you upgrade because some files changed overtime, especially functions_estore.php.


Another note, working on v1.1.3, hopefully it will release tomorrow, Tuesday, February 14th, valentine's day!

Thank you SO much for all your AWESOME support, seriously.

Just one quick thing (but a big thing to our members) that I didn't see answered .... will the "hover" over gifts (which will show the gift giver's name and message) be added?

Also, you said in reply to my question about missing gifts (in the threads, not in the profile like you mentioned) that it will not show 2 of the same gifts ... would it be possible to make this an option in a future update? We have a board full of ladies that are VERY into the gifts and are disappointed that their gifts aren't showing up in the threads ... especially since there is a only a small selection of gifts at this time (working on adding more ). The rose and bouquet are popular gifts in our forum and because of this, members are getting multiples of them from different members, but can't see them.

Off to donate to PayPal because I am just so completely impressed with your dedication to this project. (no kissing up intended)

[WolfsongNevan]

Uhh, quick question about PayPal donations ....

At the first page, it states shipping and handling is $0, but at the confirmation screen, it plugs in $5.50 shipping and handling automatically (and doesn't allow me to change it) ....

This hover question has been answered MANY times, I will not support this in the official hack because I dont think that showthread should CACHE the entire estore_gifts table into memory everytime someone views a thread. (This is exactly how the old gifts hack + ribbon hacks work, they will cache the entire table into memory.) I run a site with well over 200,000 registered members, it would take ages if there were 200,000 gifts in the table for it to cache every post, the server would fall on its face hourly. The only way to fix this is to serialize the data INSIDE of the gifts field that goes into the user table, but I havent had a chance to look at doing this yet.

Unfortunately I dont know how to fix that because that same address is used for my sales on the webpage too, just subtract $5.50 from your donation amount prehand lol

What would be great if there was a history list that displayed who changed anothers user titles. Say the last 20 titles changes.

So where the Most sold catergory is.Clicking on this (Change Others User Title) would take you to who bought what.

well thank you cmx

Can't find this doing a search so,

Can points be removed from a specific member? Or is there a way to reset one members point total to zero?

Are you talking about serializing it and leaving it in the user table or adding it to the datastore?

The easiest way of doing this is to go into your AdminCP >> Users and then search for the user. At the bottom of the user info screen is the eBux info including pocket points and bank points. Just erase everything there and save.
