No worries.   So it occurs when you create a block with Stocks and the sorting mechanism is "Popularity"?  If so, that's the one I've noticed the bug with too, so I'm already working on it.

BTW, I misspoke earlier, there actually is no "number of shares in circulation (owned by members)" but rather it's a total share holders (for Popularity).  Then there is Total Share Value (the value of all owned shares summed).  The former seems to be where the problem is, the latter works fine.

[niftywolfie]

I have it set to Worth/Global Value Ascending (Both). If I alter the block to popularity it only shows 1 item.

At the moment there is only myself as admin that has access to the stock market as I'm trying to set it up would that make a difference to it ?

[niftywolfie]

Long term investments. I can't seem to set the Maximum Kruds Allowed for Investment have tried this with the 401k/Anuities. every time I click the edit button to save it looks like it saves but on reopening the investment that setting is blank.

On having a look at the sql tables I can only see a lt_min theres no lt_max ?   I'm assuming this is the problem ?

I get it on any setting except random and even with different quantities or values of stock.

Maybe this is a bug or I'm missing a step but when i go to purchase from my cart I have plenty of credits but it tells me I paid $0 for something and it won't allow me to purchase anything.  Suggestion?

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.

Can I be a real big pain and ask what file edits are needed ?

When you get to the checkout you need to click on payment options, from the dropdown box select where you will pay the points from, then type the total into the box and click purchase at the bottom

Is it possible to totally disable the Banks, Credit Cards,Welfare, etc.... systems so it won't even show as an option in user settings?
Because I don't have any use of it, and it will just confuse my members.

Also I would like to see an IP.Download Manager integration, and discount per group will be amazing!
And again I must say it's the best application out there right now!

I didnt notice this until after i did the current versions which fixed the errors. Once i installed economy i noticed that when new posts came around the signatures wouldnt show in the forum. I know that in 2.3 series that Ipoints had a turn off switch for the bank to buy signatures and avy slots. Is there a turn off for this? or is this just an error? I looked everywhere even through the hooks and quick search and couldn't for the life of me find the turn off for the bank without turning off the points. I uninstalled economy after a while because my site is a graphics board and signatures are required usually to show off works or portfolios and once i uninstalled it, the signatures reappeared.

Let me know i could of over looked something.

ok so no image, what if you make a blank store item and some how let the admins rename each item, like item1 cost $100 ppoints item2 cost $220 points, could you do something like that?

Yep, there was a sizable error in how I was sorting items within the blocks.  It has been fixed and will be good in Beta 5.

Good find!  I actually changed it to a per-group LT max setting instead, and I forgot to remove that part of the LT Form template.  Removed for Beta 5.

I haven't yet created a mini Read Me for what would be needed to get points to show up like I have them in topics if using another points system.  But it should be pretty straightfoward.  Or maybe not, lol.  Basically you need to add the per-member field that is needed (in the case if iPoints its the `points` members table field) to the topic query.  I think that should work, probably the same edit CALY provides for his iPoints.  but don't quote me on that. Same with the profile points...

As for your first question, definitely! I realized that not all boards needs all the crazy stuff I included so everything is fully on/off'able, lol.  I just tested it myself, I turned off Banks/Stocks/CC's/LT's/Loans/Welfare and all related setting blocks dissappeared as well as the Investments and Quick Cash tabs.

And thanks! I do what I can.    I don't even have access to IP Downloads, so that feature prolly won't happen, lol, but who knows.  And good suggestion about the per-group discount.  I've added it to my feature request list.

Wow, I think you are right... I haven't uninstalled to see if they come back, but my sigs are gone on my test board.  I disabled all the hooks and they are still gone...  Everyone else noticing this?  I'll put this on the top of my priority... I have no idea why it would interfere with sigs, there is no iPoints style sig disabler or anything.

Yeah, a blank item would be a snap.  Trouble is it wouldn't do anything.  Like, when the user goes to use it, what should it say?  You can of course customize the title/description and the cost (just like ALL items in ibEconomy) but there is no way to customize what it does in terms of using the item unless you open up the shop item file and code it yourself.  The members should be able to use the item right?

[Pogue Moran]

ill have to look into what nifty said little under the weather so not thinking clearly.  Also anyway to have comma separators?

What was nifty's advice?  I'm not seeing anything relating.  I'm using the points column as my points and I certainly have enough credits to buy stock.  I can't deposit in the bank because it acts as if the value entered was 0 even though I have a total in the cart.  When I click purchase nothing happens.  Do I need to set up a credit card or could I just use my points... Confused

Edit: Okay i used the points converter.  Is there anyway to have it automatically do the full amount of whats in the cart when I purchase instead of manually having to enter the number?

Basically there are 2 steps. First from your shopping cart you click Checkout.  From there you need to select how you are going to pay. So you click the little Open Payment Options button.  It will then open up a line where you can put however many points you want on whichever payment method you prefer.  Then you can open a second payment option row beneath it by clicking Add Payment Option.  I did it this way so you can pay via your checking account, credit-card, on hand points, etc all in the same process.

So yeah, if you are getting that error it probably means you didn't add any payment sources/funds.

What do you mean comma separators?  If you mean for the price of items (number formatting), then it should be very easy.  I used the built-in IPB number formatting in every occurrence (at least I thought I did), so as long as you setup your IPB number settings correctly it should be all good.  If I totally missed your question, then forgive me.

edit: Also, I just looked again and my sig shows a couple times in a thread but not every post... and I uninstalled ibEconomy and it still is like that.  Is there some new IPB 3.0 thing about sigs that I'm missing?  To the people who installed on live boards, are your member's signatures in posts affected by ibEconomy?

[Pogue Moran]

Comma separator for the money right now it just lists the number out like 123456789 instead of 123,456,789

Ahh... so it wasn't a checkout issue, but rather that you were trying to use iPoints points without changing the ibEconomy settings to use iPoints?  If you had already changed it to use iPoints and it still didn't let you pay (even when you had iPoints to spend) then please post and let me know, because that would be a serious bug.  Glad the converter worked for you though, first reports on it.

No there is no way to skip the kewl cashier dealie, but if you want I can add that to my list of feature requests.  Maybe like a Quick Purchase button next to the Checkout button?  Which would skip the checkout page entirely (and therefore disable you from using credit cards, checking accounts, etc) and just charge you the full amount from your on hand points.  Is that what you would want?

There are a hundred places which utilize number formatting, and I thought I did every single one of them with the comma separator.  But I could've easily missed one or two, so post which ones or even a screenshot and I'll check it out.  If ALL the numbers are like that, then something is up with your IPB number formatting localization settings.

[niftywolfie]

Global Economy -> rankings -> total net worth (icon) there is still no space between the dollar sign and number

Richest members sidebar hook   no space between dollar sign and number

Spotted these as soon as I opened up after upgrading....I've  re-cached ibEconomy and hard refreshed my browser still the same

Richest members sidebar hook is not showing any points at all but is showing the correct structure for the richest members.

I'm using ipoints(points) as my main points field, this however means everytime I purchase something I go into negative equity, using a different points field the points arent showing correctly, but they are being used correctly.

Need more info please just ask as I'll be spending most my day working on my forum so can give quick replies

Good work on the bug fixes stock market side bar looks much better !!!

Thankyou

There isn't supposed to be a space, my earlier "bug" fix was to remove a space.

The points in the Richest Members show fine for me using the built-in points system, so I presume this error is related to using a different points system (iPoints).  I'm installing iPoints right now to test and will post again in a few with the results.

Thanks!

So you mean when you purchase something while using a different points system (iPoints) it doens't adjust your total Member Worth correctly?   But it does adjust it correctly when using eco points?

edit: I can confirm that the Richest Members block (or any block that will show the total points of members) does NOT show any points when using iPoints (and probably any other non-standard points system).  I'm sure this is an easy fix, I'll have something prolly after work tonight.

edit2: On the other hand, I tested buying shop items with iPoints and it works fine... had 2000 pts both on hand points and worth before buying a 1 dollar item, then after purchasing I had had 1999 points both on-hand and worth.  So I must be misunderstanding your problem....

[niftywolfie]

well I can say problem is fixed.... is there a task that has to run ?

Not touched the site since I posted yet just been to check and everything onhand/worth is now reading correctly

So I'm assuming something hadn't cached properly or a task needed to run  

Thanks Nifty

No I changed the settings it just didn't like it for some reason.  So I converted my points to the economy points and then changed the settings to get it to work.  I had to use the converter because it wasn't working with the settings set just at ipoints.  It didn't give me the payment option.  Well I understand the cashier but if say you have enough cash to buy something instead of having to put in the number manually you can just click the button and it will do the calculation and purchase.

Nope lol I see on the main economy screen where it says My Credits: it lists the number instead of the number with comma separators as well as when purchasing.
