Miscellaneous Hacks - uCash 3.x

11/20/09 - uCash 3.9.1 released, adding the option to edit a user's points when editing a user in the Admin CP. For some reason I thought that was already implemented. Whatever, it's there now. Enjoy.

07/27 3:54 AM: Beta 2 is released! New features here are point deduction on infractions, the use of template hooks, and a primitive admin script. Upgrade by re-uploading the files and re-importing product-ucash.xml, allowing overwrite. Then, undo the template edits that you did to memberinfo_block_ministats and postbit/postbit_legacy as they aren't needed anymore.

Welcome to uCash 3.9.0 Beta 2!

uCash is a points system for vBulletin. 3.9.0 is a rewrite of uCash from scratch designed for vBulletin 3.7 and up. Simply upload the files located in the 'upload' folder and import product-ucash.xml in the Product Manager of vBulletin (allowing overwrite if you are upgrading). If you are installing this as a first time user of uCash then congrats, everything should be working and you can configure the options to your liking from there. If you have previously installed and old version uCash or uCash & uShop, continue reading.

This version of uCash will attempt to "upgrade" from the uCS 0.9x database fields. If you have installed this previously and still have its data in your database, it will import over the old forum settings and points.

If you have been using uCash 1.1 or uCS 2.0, the same applies, however, some of the other options may also be carried over. In either case, make sure you remember what you have your settings set to, as some might not be carried over. ONE SETTING SHOULD BE REVERTED TO ITS DEFAULT IF YOU ARE UPGRADING - Set "Points Data Location", the very top option, to "TP.user.ucash". If you don't change this, uCash may not work properly. Make sure all of your options under "uCash Options" as well as the forum-specific options when editing a forum are set to their desired values and have fun.

If you have any issues to report with this addon, please post in the modification thread located at: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=219475. Include all relevant details, such as vBulletin version and any previous install of uCash or uCash & uShop and its version number. I will attempt to give support, but as this is still a beta, I am more interested in bugs or inconsistancies. Please do not PM or IM me for support unless you have a showstopping bug or exploit to report.

Wall of text aside, please enjoy the latest release of uCash, and feel free to post any ideas for new features to add in the vB.org thread linked above. Thanks!

For a more full list of current features in this beta, look at the screenshots displaying the main settings and per-forum settings. Note that screenshots may be out of date. For full-sized screenshots, go here: http://cuphat.com/mods/ucash/

As far as the current beta goes, I based the feature set off of uCash from the old uCS 0.95, with some changes here and there. I don't plan on stopping there, but I don't want to re-implement all of the uCash 1.1 features that I added. Some might get re-added, some might not. Regardless, a few more features are going to come down the line (point deduction for infractions comes to mind). Feel free to make suggestions.

Why the version number, you might ask? I plan on releasing uCash (and uShop) for vB4 with a version number of 4.0, and I am getting a head start with those rewrites by starting now with 3.8.x. I want to separate the version numbers from the old, as these are complete rewrites from scratch. Don't expect a new uShop release for vB3, as any progress made on that project will be without any real working templates.

Nice one Matt

Known bug: Forum options are not being used in the edit post plugin. I knew I was forgetting something.

Edit: Squashed, redownload the .zip if you have already downloaded it (but not many people have).

Looks good just not sure what to use it for

Right now it is just a simple points system. I have not released an addon to take advantage of it yet, though I am sure there is still some functioning addons that can integrate with uCash around. Mainly I am getting ready for vB4 and getting back "into the game" so to speak with coding, so this is the base that I needed to start with.

Did you upload the files to your forums directory? The only thing I can think of is your server doesn't display PHP errors and the required functions_ucash.php file isn't being found in your includes directory.
