SMF Shop Ideas..:Job Lottery Auctions..

[Masterhand]

Well, i would think that it would be cool if SMF shop had more included with it..

Right now it has something like this: cash/bank/shop, so why don't you add a few things too it?

cash/shop/bank/jobs/lottery/auctions

---Jobs---
Users can get jobs, then when the person who got 'hired' for the job does it, (ex.: Mod, Ranks, Post Fixer, Snitch) hits the 'Done' button,
the person who created the jobs clicks confirm, and the hired user gets a certain amounts or credits

--Lottery--
Users would bet a certain amount of credits , then set the minimum amount of credits to put down for a "ticket" then set the date it goes off, it would randomly pick a winner and the winner would get the set credit amount.

--Auctions--
This is like the Lottery, but only people place bids, and the person puts down a item for the winner.

Iwould love to see these things implanted...
That would make more people want SMF shop, and it would make it cooler....What do you think?..

Lottery is something I have thought about a lot.  I already have scratchcards on my forum, and would really like a lottery draw as well.  It should definately be a prize fund, so the winner gets whatever is in the prize fund, taken from sales.  I have also considered this idea in other methods, such as sales of items in the shop should go into a fund, rather than disappearing.  I keep wanting to make almost like a mini economy.

I believe basil beard has a jobs like item.  He gave out money bags that give a certain amount of money each day.  Could probably be made into a job item.

Hmm, Yea, i like the idea...

Lottery is a good idea. Alot of members gamble there money away on my shop with the win random money item.

To do a lottery, you would need to do the following:

A) Add a column to the members table which called "Tickets" or something. Tickets should probably be a INT, with default value 0.
B) Make an item that upon use that adds one to the Tickets of the user.
C) Call a weekly script, via a cronjob more likely that not, which totals the number of tickets, randomly chooses the winner, and gives out all the currency.

Shouldn't be that hard to code if you actually want it. Would be a fun project for someone who doesn't know php to learn it =). You'll be surpirzed what you can learn just from the internet.

I like the idea of the Jobs item.  It could work also like giving people challenges to do and rewarding them when its done.

It would be good if someone could do this, it would be fun and useful

I honestly think that these would be awesome mods!!  I'd love to see a lottery mod, but no cron job LOL.  But I could see where and RPG forum would LOVE the Job and Auction Mod, especially if they have clans.
