Requested additions / poke nudge item
« on: July 05, 2007, 11:02:02 pm »
Feeble I was thinking of using your egging avatar item and just adding more options to it but I wonder if it might be better as its own item as it would do slightly different things maybe?

I was reading the facebook info page (see gift item post) and they have another feature for giving members a nudge or a poke.

Facebook includes a "poke" feature which allows one user to send a "poke" to another. In principle this is intended to serve as a "nudge" to attract the attention of the other user... They can do various things using these applications such as hug, pinch, bite, kiss, bitchslap, tickle, or trip.

I was thinking it could change the custom title or personal text to ' Fred was nudged by perplexed...'   and maybe send the member a pm with a nudge in it or whatever you want to send them.

I was thinking maybe animated smileys which is why the egging item wont work as animated gifs wont work with that. 

So maybe it would do the following:
1. change their custom title to say 'you've been poked...'
2. send them a PM to say who poked them
3. add a poking/nudging/bitchslapping/kissing smiley to their post/profile 'somewhere'?
OR send them a greeting card with the poke in it by using the display item and relevant code?

Failing that I could just add to the egging but I wondered what you thought of the idea?

I have installed many shop items and some of them like the egging item and the arcade pass, I think are just brilliant, and I have a ton of other items, yet they hardly get used at all.

I seem to be the only one excited about the shop.  I especially love the egging and thought that would catch on like a house on fire but people don't use it much.  (we did have some hiccups with it in the beginning but not much) so why do you think people don't use the shop much?

oh and they all have plenty of money btw, they just don't spend it... ever

sending multiple items to members:

We often do this if we have contests etc  eg member wins 4 items.  But then I have to go through the 'send item' process 4 times and send them 4 'you've been sent an item' messages.

Would it be possible to be able to send multiple items to a member in one go, with one message, where you just have check boxes to select the items you want to send, and not have to do it for each item?

buying multiples of an item

it would be good if we could select say 3 'egging avatars' at once instead of having to go through the process of going to buy stuff, finding the item, buying it, then going back to 'buy stuff' ... again

Could there be a dropdown list to select how many you want to buy at once?

just to save me time obviously  ;)

General SMFShop Discussion / items that alter karma
« on: April 14, 2007, 09:47:28 am »
the items that alter karma - the increase karma item, the egging item etc, is it possible to record in the karma descriptions who did what?

I have karma description mod installed but at the moment, these items alter the karma and no one can tell why its been altered

It wasnt an issue when I only had a few items but I seem to have lots now.

Is it possible to display expandable categories when you go to Buy Stuff instead of a potentially long list of separate items

eg  karma    - click on it to see all items in this category
       arcade    - click on it to see all items in this category
       random    - click on it to see all items in this category

If someone could explain how I might do this, that would be cool


thanks

Items / Greeting Cards
« on: March 01, 2007, 06:57:04 am »
this isn't an item that I made, rather something I did with an existing item.  But since I couldnt find any reference here to anyone doing it, I thought I would tell you what I did. It's not rocket science but the members love it already

Until today I thought that the only items in my shop were the ones displayed in the shop, until I did some reading here today and discovered other items mentioned that are in the dropdown list in the shop.

One of these is Display message.

So I used the Display message item to create greeting cards!

Birthday cards
thank you cards
christmas cards
get well soon cards... well you get the idea

anyway...

since you can have bb code in the message you can jazz it up a bit. I added appropriate images, by uploading them to my server then using the bbc code to display them in the message.

Then added a little message eg Happy Birthday!

You purchase the greeting card of your choose from the shop.  Then use the 'send item to member' link to send it to someone else.

They get a PM that they have a card.  They 'use' it and get to read the card.

You can either have it set to remove the item from their inventory when used, which means it will disappear after they see it, or set it to not remove the item, in which case they get to keep the card, although this means they can in theory use it to send to someone else.

It's very simple but members are already excited about sending out birthday cards to people,and I'm sure I saw somewhere someone was looking for a birthday item.

hi

I just bought myself a 'change your display name to blue' here on this forum as a test.  (not that smart as the display names are dark blue anyway lol) but anyway

Once you have done it and your display name is blue, or italicised or whatever, how are you able to change it back to normal?

Also does this conflict with any other files, or themes?

~ thanks

hello

I installed shop 3.0 yesterday

I have two problems but this server seemed to be down last night so I couldnt post till now.

Problem one I think is a shop problem regarding 'user not found'  I posted about this on the smf shop thread last year for 2.3 version, and someone posted a fix.  This doesnt work for 3.0.  See page 82 of smf shop mod thread.   If you are in shop, your inventory and trying to use an item eg egg a member, and type in a member name or try to search for one, it doesnt find the name.  The search finds the name but when you click on it, it doesnt put it in the name box.  Then if you try to do it, it still says user not found.  Putting in the name the member registered with works, only if you type it in.  Search does not work, It just displays       javascript: void(0);

can you help with this please?  I don't see it in the list of bugs for 3.0 but as I said, it was in previous versions.

(problem two relates to the egg item and I posted there)

Hi Daniel

I loaded the shop mod at the weekend, and its really cool.

I have smf 1.1 rc2

I have cpanel and cron jobs on it

I followed your instructions on the download mod page on the smf forum ... ' in order to get the bank interest working.... do this' etc

i put the code in the cron job (changing the username, forum name etc) to run every day at midnight but it has not worked

Can you please advise how to get this to work

I'm not sure how often you check this forum but it would be good if you could reply soon

I also submitted a support ticket on Sunday 12th for another problem and it remains 'open' and not assigned.

Thanks for your help
