Now few questions.

1) I know that by default each member will have 500 of vcash. So it is up to them how they use the 500. Is that the only way they can play?

I mean lets say I have a forum with 30,000 members and I open a vbookie event.

Now lets say 10 of those members use their max vcash which is 500.

And next day they want to place another new bet, but they will be on 0?

How do I tackle this. If they are on 0 and I manually give them vcash from settings, will it not be unfair for the other members?.

You have an option of "Give to the poor" which means that whenever a new event is created anyone with 0 will get 'X' amount given to them.

Or you could install a hack like 'ucash' where members can earn points per post etc... To 'spend' in the vbookie.

What Noddy said.

Another option is to reset everyone each month or something.

For my uses, I give everyone $1000 to start with each month (after recording the top 10 for the previous month - hint Dartho to code in a monthly top earners feature ).

I also set a max bet limit of $500 so people can't blow it all in one go (another hint to Dartho so I don't have to keep hacking this in ) - search the old vbookie thread for "max limit" and you'll find the necessary hack to do this.

Cheers,

I am using vbcredits as currency for this. When I place bets the credits arent changed for me (admin) but it seems to be working for everyone else. Any thoughts dartho? Cool mod btw

Also this is probably a dumb question but this:

5. Set usergroup permissions

I dont see any usergroup permission settings other than who can post events in the vbookie settings page. Are there more permissions?

[dartho]

Yep - in settings is where you can set who can create events, edit events and bet on events

[neverstop]

ok thanks,

any idea why my credits arent going down despite the fact i have bet on like 15 events? they seem to be decreasing for others who are making the same bets.

[dartho]

mmm... No... Are you using the vbcredits integration in vbookie, or vbookies integration in vbcredits?

[dartho]

Actually - just had a thought. Does the same happen if you bet on an event created by someone else, or only on your own events. Also - when you settle an event that you created - do you get the money?

I know I changed vBookie for myself so that funds went into, and came out of the balance of teh person creating the event. Perhaps I inadvertently released this version!

[neverstop]

I create all of the events so that is answer to question 1.

I havent settled any events yet, i will create a dummy event and settle it and see what happens

(btw, im not sure what you mean in post #488)

[neverstop]

ugh so now i just created a dummy event and when i bet on it my credits were subtracted, maybe i am going crazy.

[neverstop]

OK I am almost positive my credits werent being subtracted earlier, I wouldnt have made the thread. But, everything seems to be working now, I guess I will have to report back if it happens to me again. Thanks for the prompt reply dartho

[dartho]

Glad it's all working - what ever the reason

[neverstop]

Suggestion for future version:

When viewing a gthread that you have already placed a bet, maybe have somewhere you can see what you have bet on (and how much)? Maybe how like in a vb poll it italicizes the option you voted for?

again, this mod is fantastic

How can I add a money or a small dollar gif , an image next to where it says vCASH: amount in the postbit.

I want to add a little money currency gif.

Can someone tell me which template to edit and which part exactly to place the image.
