If you mean that you want Admins to have the "Admin" part in the colour red, then this can be done in the SMF options, under membergroups.
You might find what you're looking for here. This is the Display Name CSS item, that allows you to change the colour of your username, when you buy the item.

Simply use the Email Admin V2.
In the additional fields bit, put:
and then this in the message bit:
This can of course be edited to your liking.
Is it ok that after using the item it says 'message sent to admin'? Sort of gets the point across that the request has been made, rather than having a congrats page. You can always explain further by editing the description of the item.
In the additional fields bit, put:
Code: [Select]
Forum Username: <input type="text" name="host_user" /><p>
Domain Wanted: <input type="text" name="host_domain" /><p>
******** Username: <input type="text" name="host_other" />
and then this in the message bit:
Code: [Select]
Forum Username: {$_POST["host_user"]}.
Domain Wanted: {$_POST["host_domain"]}.
******** Username: {$_POST["host_other"]}.
--Shop Mailer
This can of course be edited to your liking.

Installation Problems / Re: How to?
« on: November 24, 2006, 01:43:17 am »I wrote up some instructions previously, they're available at http://www.daniel15.com/smfshop_wiki/Installation
You can't use the browse function to find SMFShop, the actual file isn't listed on the MOD site (I had troubles with it...)
Really??? How the hell did i get the shop?

Install:
Admin -> Packages -> Download Packages -> Simple Machines Third-party Mod Site, click on browse.
Select SMFShop from the list. Chose download.
Err, then it's back to browse packages i think, and you select install next to SMFShop. After that it guides you through installing, asking you for ftp details, and basically clicking Next.
Do you need more help for actually configuring the shop? ie, adding items etc?

General SMFShop Discussion / Re: SMF Shop Ideas..:Job Lottery Auctions..

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.

Also once I get it working, assuming that I do, how could I add a item to the shop which e-mails me when a member buys it with their name and a link to their account? I need to be able to send passwords to these people easily which depends on their online game name, so they can unlock extra content(what they bought from shop).
You could use the 'Send Email to Admin v2', which when the user buys the item and uses it, it sends a customisable email to admin. You could set this up to display their username, and with a bit of fiddling, probably their account url.

A common request, its not actually implemented at the moment. Basil or Daniel15 might be able to steer you in the right direction, but i believe they haven't actually used this method before.

You do that anyway...

Ok, so i'm currently ordering from eBay blank keyrings, pens, and fridge magnets (someone outbid me for the mousemats ). My idea is to then insert my own pictures, probably my website address, and have some advertising.
Im then going to sell these in my shop, using the email me item, and have the user send me address details and i will post them the item. Gives my users something physical from the shop, and if its a keyring, pen, whatever, with my address on, then its a bit of publicity.
Also thinking of offering the user the chance to have a message printed on the reverse side of the keyring, perhaps.
I'm also going to be selling matkins70.com email addresses in the shop(through mail forwarding), though have had some issues with hotmail automatically deleting messages from matkins70, so will have to look into that, as most of my users use hotmail.
So has anyone else got ideas of cheap little gimmicks i can sell?

Well, I have the grouped items down pat...and I put some thought into the trade/sell thing...if you can sell your items back...why would you need trade?
Well I would have thought you could sell basic items back to the shop for a lower price, but there may be some items that are rare, and sought after(this is moving a bit down the line from stealing credits, or sticky topic, but could still apply). If certain items were only in teh shop, 1 or 2 at a time, then they may be in greater demand, and so, the person who buys them, might be able to sell them for a higher price.
It's all about supply and demand

If the items are grouped together, and they're trading one, how will they be able to use the other one?
I would have thought that if an item went into the trade center, it would then be given some sort of flag, and treated separately, perhaps to the point where you divide up the inventory page(this would be very useful for the first reason). It is really annoying when you buy something, want to use it, and then have to wade through the **** of unusable items you own. An inventory page, where it is divided into Usable Items, Unusable items, and Trading items would in my opinion be a real asset to the shop. Then going on to create the grouped items would make it even better.
Thats my two cents.

Don't you just uninstall the package from your admin area?
