Item Giver
Minimum Requirements:
phpBB 2.0.21
PHP 4.1.0†
Zarath's Shop 3.x
Page Updated: Dec 22, 2006
If your forum uses Zarath's Shop hack, you may occasionally wish to give a special item to your members. Perhaps it would be a holiday gift, a reward of some kind, of something for another purpose. Whatever the reason, you would want to easily add this item to everyone's inventories.
With Shop 2.x, this was easy: it was just one simple SQL query. Shop 3.x stores items differently, however. This complicates the process dramatically. You have to construct and run one unique query for each member that will receive the item. On a forum with 10,000 members, that means 10,000 queries. No individual can be expected to do such a thing manually.
Item Giver will make the process much easier by building and running the necessary queries for you. Select the item, adjust a few settings, press the button, and just let it run. It couldn't be easier!
Features of Item Giver 1.0.0
