This is probably pre-mature celebration, but it looks like everything that needed updating for IPB 2.0 is done.

After another all-dayer today, all 6 hooks are now working with 3.2 (had to say bye to Profile Comments ) and I added a slick new My Shop Items box and Profile Tab.

Literally every html template (40+ or so) had to be updated.

One of my top priorities during the upgrade was to keep the html as close to default IPB html as possible. I was able to achieve that goal, so hopefully that means that there will be a much smaller chance of third party skins affecting ibEconomy negatively. Another goal was to make it scalable. As you can see from this iPad screenshot, ibEconomy 2.0 will look fine on smaller monitors/browser windows. And for good measure, I added a setting so admins can pick certain skins to not display the ibEconomy sidebar on, in case the skin(s) has a very restrained width size, or for whatever reason.

Here is a screenshot of the My Shop Items hook (probably the most requested feature to date):

I have a couple features to add (the main one being a Points-Reset button which will reset all member's on-hand points to exactly what the current forum-points settings are. Of course this will only be useful for brand new ibEconomy installs or ibEconomy boards that don't use banks/investments/etc, and all points come solely from forum posts.

Plus we need to wait for IPB 3.2 to actually be released. But once it is, I'll install here and we'll bug-test for a few days then hopefully release.

One last thing, has anyone had trouble opening/viewing the Read Me? I know a few users report that the Read Me for Custom Sidebar Blocks doesn't open right, and ibEconomy's Read Me is very similar, so I wanted to make sure ibEconomy's Read Me is ok. If you currently are running into issues with them, please post or PM me, I'll send you a new Read Me which hopefully alleviates any problems.

You are simply put... amazing!

On a rather serious note

Where do I go to send you a donation?

[emoney emoney]

Glad you like it!

I have a donation sidebar block on the index of these boards: http://emoneycodes.com/forums/

Let me know if the link doesn't show/work for some reason.

[KyleBD]

I donated $10.00. I know it's not much, but you really work hard on this application and even though I haven't used or installed it yet, I plan to after 3.2 hits and I know my members will love it.

Thank you so much!!

Kyle

[BrandonT]

Also sent ya $10 m8

You need a donators group ftw!

LOL - Lots Of Love!

"Sheesh 4th of July weekend drinking fyi lol"

[emoney emoney]

I created a Donator group and moved you 2 and the 3 donors from the other thread. If anyone donated that didn't get moved, please post.

I increased a few things for the Donator group, 2 of which are ibEconomy related. You get double the points per post and you have a greater chance of winning the lottery.

Awesome

Are there still plans to integrate with ip content with some blocks and such?

[emoney emoney]

I'm not sure I ever mentioned IP Content specifically, but in any case, I did look at integrating Custom Sidebar Blocks (and ibEconomy blocks by extension) into IP Content and there is no way to "easily" hook into the sidebar to display blocks (like ibEco and CSB do). From what I can tell, the blocks need to be imported one by one. So I would need to make the ibEconomy blocks manually and package them up to release them as IP Content Blocks. But perhaps I'm overlooking an easier way, so I'll continue to look into it. Plus I want to integrate with Blog and Downloads first.

Can you make it so that there is a selection for a real item? Such as if I want to set a video game as a prize it will ask for their address when buying it? Also will there be a chance of expanding the points? Such as people get points for recruiting people or for days registered. Or maybe custom things such as answering the daily question?

[emoney emoney]

You can already rig up something like that by hacking an existing item a bit, but since a "message to admin" type shop item is requested so often, I'll add it to my list for version 2.0.

As far as refs, I don't incoprporate that because there is alreay an app out there that does referrals and integrates with ibEconomy.

Probably wouldnt do a days registered thing, but I have thought about a quizzes module, thanks for bringing it back up so I can think about it some more and how it would work in 2.0.

3.2 just released when will this release?

[emoney emoney]

I am going to upgrade this forum and upgrade ibEconomy to version 2.0 tonight. We will then bugtest for a week or so, and I might look for beta testers as well, then once everything appears ok, I'll release.

[najaru]

Hi
What happens if i upgrade my board with ibEconomy 1.5?

[emoney emoney]

What version of IPB and of ibEconomy are you currently running?

[Gaffney]

When will v2 be released ? It looks very good, much better than v1.5 which just doesn't seem right on every skin. But v2 fits together nicely.

[emoney emoney]

Read above.

You can make it come out quicker by helping test.

Have you upgraded the board yet? If you need Beta Testers let me know. I do know that I am new and everything but from our conversation on the IP Services website you know what is on offer. My members are almost strangling me for moving and having no commerce system.

[emoney emoney]

Yes, board is updated.
