[ABD] Store MOD (formerly wGEric Store MOD for phpBB2)

[EXreaction]

I'll be watching this...

As I said in a different thread for a Store Mod:

As for the points/cash mods to support, you should build a class for purchasing items, then have a separate file for each cash type supported (that extends the class).

If you don't get what I mean, it would be something like the DBAL, with the main file and other files with extended classes.

Then you could have a setting for it, and in the ACP panel have it auto-search for available files and list them all.

That would be extremely helpful as the points mod I use was custom built, plus it would allow someone to easily add support in for other cash/points systems.

ah, good idea =D

I recently got a new job and moved to a new place, so I'm a bit behind in working on this MOD; however, I thought I would show some screens of what I have completed so you guys will know this isn't just vaporware.

View of the item list buy menu within a store and the popup window for specific item information:

The "plain Bold Italics" under the store owner's name is the store description, which obviously supports BBCode.

beautiful rizzn!

Very nice work man

[Rizzn.]

Thanks for the compliments. I'm trying to make sure the Store MOD lives up to it's predecessor rather than just slapping something together and putting it out.

Update on this mod, think it would be very handy for stylers who want to sell styles on their site.

Except that handling real money is beyond the scope of this modification. If you want to do something with a cash mod about selling the virtual points for real money, then you can do that, but this MOD is not designed for real money transactions.

This reminds me of the CMX Store mod for vBull, I hope this will be completed. ^^

It's one way of getting people to come to your forum and post, rather than having them buy a style with real money. I'd use this modification to get some activity back to my own board through that kind of thinking.

[Rizzn.]

I'm not saying that you can't sell styles. It just seemed that he meant "sell" in the sense of "transaction of actual currency." Having a style item would actually be fairly easy to do by simply attaching the download file to a downloadable item.

Do you plan to have this completed [soon] after gold comes out? ^^

[Rizzn.]

Yes, I almost have it to the point of releasing it now. I did decide to wait for the gold release to make sure there are no conflicts, because gold is only 2 days from now. I've also been delaying a little bit due to the only two point/cash MODs available being underdeveloped or a bit buggy.

Mostly though, I've just been really busy with my new job and trying to leave a good impression on my employers so I get to keep my job past the end of the holiday season.

Zero Tolerance is planning a port of an older RPG Inferno (v4 I think) for phpBB3, will you make a modification for this modification so that it can integrate into RPG Inferno? Or will you be leaving RPG Inferno alone?

[Rizzn.]

I personally won't be making modifications to this to interact specifically with any other MOD out there; however, once I do get a version out for public use, I will be willing to help out MOD authors integrate their MODs with this one. However, I will only be offering such support on the official support site, which will open the same time I make the initial release. I won't offer any kind of support for that in this thread.

Can you release it anyway? As from what I have heard/read its only the release date of Gold being released in 2 days time, not Gold itself which could be still a while off.

There is still no properly functioning shop MOD for PHPBB3 yet and I am getting impatient with setting up something our members can spend their well-earned points on!
