Well, I don't really know, cause I've never used it and I don't think I've seen a feature list for the 3.0 version of ibMarket.  But I know that it is a point shop style mod, so I would say that mine is different because the point shop is only 1 part of it.  It also is a complete points system, unlimited banks/investments, welfare, loans, sidebar blocks, topic/profile/PM view (all with 0 file edits) etc.  I tried to design it to be all in one, to help conserve that oh-so precious header space.    Install it and play around with it eh, you'll see some kewl stuff.

[EvilHUnter]

OMG Awesome I hope more people like you will start to write something even if there is another mod the same... the people need to choose not to have only 1 option ... btw please tell me can you make this like vbShop, where you can buy extra to edit your name, avatar or rank name with points, if you can make this the mod will be the best so far like I needed radio mod just to people to listen it from the forum and the onle option was bouncy radio mod ok wtf is with his price ? I wont use it because when there isnt anyone offering something like his mod everyone has to choose his mod, nvm thanks emoney hope to see more cool stuff from you like this

[emoney]

oh no, not another "can you make it like the vBulletin yada yada yada..." app!   When I released my first "big app" (ibBookie for 2.3) I got a lot of the "this mod rocks, but can you make it more like the vBulletin version?" stuff.  But in this case, what you requested are definitely doable.  This is still in BETA and even when I release 1.0 I am still going to be developing further store items.  

1) Edit Your Name: I actually meant to include this but I must've forgot... It will be in one of the first shop item "expansion packs".
2) Edit Your Avatar: There is already an item for this included in this release.
3) Edit Your Rank: If you mean title or posts, then it is already included in this release.  If not, what do you mean?

[sHoKz I]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET APPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

I'm requesting that a new tool be added to basically allow all groups to do everything, and I can disable the few things from there.

Thanks

[emoney]

Thanks! And good suggestion, I'll try to get that added before 1.0 is released.

[EvilHUnter]

ah no emoney, I didnt want to look like some cry noob ;] I just suggested like continuing of your idea because I didnt see anyone think of it, but when you already added those I will wait for the v1 release of this masterpiece

[MichaelJohn]

Probably won't have a need for this mod but just wanted to say great job!! Well thought out and designed mod Sets a high standard for the rest of us modders

Thanks MJ! Honestly, that means a lot to me, considering how much time I spent on this damn thing.

I like the lack of bug reports so far... guess the official release won't be far off.

So far I have 2 things on my to do for 1.0:

1) "Enable All" switch per user group
2) Change Member Display Name shop item

[sHoKz I]

I will be donating once I get some damn money in my PayPal. Great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The two suggestions you listed are great. I look forward to them both, and as you said 'expansion packs' would be nice too!!

I installed it on a 3.0.3 Board and it works great until i go to change a member through acp

I have also had some complaints that members are seeing

Fatal error: Cannot access protected property classPostForms::$moderator in /home/artisti/public_html/forum/hooks/ibEconomyPostPoints_fbfe1b6780c69ed8c678268ab940e760.php on line 397

im also getting this error... no one can post on my forums

[emoney]

ah, good find, I'll get to work on a fix asap.  for now you can turn off the points per post stuff and the error should go away.  

Also, what is the error you get when you edit a member in ACP?  And you are referring to the ibEconomy edit member stuff?  Or the default IPB "Edit Member" page?

[emoney]

Ah, I had already fixed that bug but somehow must've not carried over the changes to the BETA release... I've made the necessary changes to that hook and updated the file here. No full reinstall is needed (hence the same version BETA 4) since it was only the hook.  I added a hooks folder in the root directory of the package for reimporting.

I also realized 1 of the hooks wasn't even included, so I added that back in.

So if you had installed before this post, you'll want to redownload, then import the ibEconomyPointsPerPost and the ibEconomyMemberProfile hooks.

oh, and added some screenshots.  Doing every page is gonna take a while...

edit: found a gap between the currency symbol and a bank's cost.   Fixed, will be updated in BETA 5.

[Guardsman]

This looks good. I'm currently using iPoints by Calypso. When yours goes final will it allow me to retain members existing points totals (banked and in-hand)?

[emoney]

Yes and No.  Yes, you could either just tell ibEconomy to use iPoints as the point system and you won't even need to convert anything, it is already there.  But you would need to do some file edits if you did that route, because ibEconomy has 0 file edits because of the special way I setup the per-member fields.  Or you could use the built-in converter, and select iPoints to convert it to Eco Points.  

But as far as the bank points, that would be trickier.  There is no single one bank... admin can create unlimited banks, each with savings and/or checking.  So this allows it to not require a per-member "bank_points" field, since theoretically a member could have as many bank accounts as the admin (Secretary of the Treasury)  allows members to.  So if you are converting from iPoints there would be no where to put the bank_points... but I'm sure we could figure out a solution.  You could for example run a SQL query to sum both a member's points and banked points into the 1 field you are going to use for member's points.  Then just tell your members they have all their points, just not separated, and that they can go buy one or more bank accounts and reinvest it (after you create some banks of course).

It just showed database error it wasnt really anything like my members found and it was editing members usergroups, i didnt mess with the economy section ...

Ill check your fix and get back to you.

Thanks for taking your time and fixing the error

[Mr Legacy]

The database error is fixed in acp however my members still receive this error

Fatal error: Cannot access protected property classPostForms::$moderator in /home/artisti/public_html/forum/hooks/ibEconomyPostPoints_fbfe1b6780c69ed8c678268ab940e760.php on line 397

So i decided to look into the code and found out that the forum points are clashing with something i just cant figure out what.

So in order for it to work until emoney can fix it, dont mess with the forum points settings and  you wont get the error above.
