Effects Shop

I just downloaded and installed your Effects Shop. I've seen it in action before, I know it works. I did it manually because I am not using subsilver and Easy Mod never EVER works with my template. I noticed that the privmsg.php files wasn't listed in the file edits, though I don't think that has anything to do with it.

The problem I'm having is that nothing seems to exist. Special Effects shows up on the Admin panel as a shop, but I don't see any effects. When you go to "Shop" on my board, it doesn't show any shops at all.

I hate to ask, but if you could take a look at it and let me know what you think, I would greatly appreciate it...

Thanks so much,

It looks like you have the districts feature of the Shop mod turned off. When districts are turned off, the Shop mod excludes the effects shop when it pulls the list of shops.

But we can fix that! In your shop.php, find this code:

Code:

Change it to:

Code:

And that should get the effects store to appear in the list of shops. Be sure to edit the settings for the effects store in the ACP, also. I tried to go to it by typing the URL in manually and saw that the store is disabled.

I'll have to make a note of this in the instructions for the next version.

Thanks.

Well, I did what you said, and I still can't seem to find the shop settings in the ACP. When I go to the original shop mod's settings, I see a place to edit shop settings. The Effects shop does show up. But when I go there, it looks like every other shop, not what you show on the screen shots.

Seeing as how you are the creator of this script, I'd be happy to give you access to my ACP if you think that would help.

Thanks so much,

We may go with the ACP access route later, but first try double checking your edits to admin_shop.php and reuploading that file. What you're describing could happen if some of the edits were missing or misplaced in that file.

I did that before I read this. Reuploaded it, and it worked...

I had one more question before I finish here. There was an effects shop mod before, I'm guessing it was the one that went with 2.6, but people were able to change each other's ranks. Is there a possibility that this type of thing is in the works?

Yeah, it's in the works for the next version. It's turning out to be a more popular feature than I thought.

Hehehe, that was the whole reason why I wanted this mod. I am running out of reasons to justify my cash system. And I thought what better way than to allow someone the ability to change the rank of someone they were irritated with... I'm happy to hear you're going to add it.

I have also been looking for a karma mod that actually makes sense, without luck. And there was one mod where you buy people drinks and after so many, the script starts to intentionally jumble their posts, like they're slurring their words and stuff. Thought that might be fun... But am kind of worried about it being annoying.

Anyhow, thanks sooooo much. I'll be checking back often. I'm very much looking forward to the next version!!

Ok... I have to reopen this question...

I have yours and another mod doing this same thing... When I go to buy something, it says I don't have enough coins but I definately know I do. I wonder if that's not a sql problem... But I don't know...

Ok, I got that problem fixed, and I have to ask another one... It seems that my first problem was that my cash field wasn't user_points. I fixed that.

The problem that I'm having now is that effects aren't showing up, even in IE. This problem, I think, may be my template...? I have no idea.

It looks like the template files on your site haven't been edited for the mod, but that shouldn't effect the username effects. The templates actually have very little to do with any of the effects, aside from displaying the custom title.

When you go to purchase an effect, make sure you click the check box labeled "Buy this Effect." If you don't, the effect won't actually be purchased.

Aside from that, I would recommend reuploading viewtopic.php, privmsg.php, usercp_register.php and usercp_viewprofile.php, just to make sure they aren't have the same kind of problem admin_shop.php was having earlier.
