[DBTech] DragonByte Credits [Paid] 5.9.0

You mean to disable the DB Shop Event Trigger completely?

No, edit the currency in DB Shop and choose 0 for both post and thread.

Ahh yes it's done already. I tried right now by disabling the DB Shop entirely, and it still throws the error message



so it must be something I'm missing in the DB Credits add-on. Any other ideas about why this would happen? My balance is 1,260 Credits.

What's the value of the Negative Handling setting in the Credits currency?

It seems we're having similar ideas. It's always been set to "Allow negative display", but I just tried with all the three settings, and no differences so far.

In that case I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't work for you, unless you're not running the latest version.

If you are, can you please PM me with an FTP and AdminCP account so I can look into this @ your site?

Ok so I've done some deep searches, it looks like this does happen only to me (administrator) and not to other user groups. Weird, isn't it?

Did you perhaps set every permission to Yes so you turned on "Stop All Cancelable Event Triggers" in the user group permissions in XF2?

I just fell in love with you Fillip, thank you so much, it worked like a charm!

 

[V3NTUS]

I'm lost in a maze, again.

So, thanks to your help, the event is now working fine (thanks thanks thankssssssss for it!).

So my user groups structure is made this way:

All my users are in the group: "Registered users", while some special members also are in the following groups (as secondary groups):

Administrator, Moderator, VIP etc etc..

Now, coming back to my question:

How do I exclude a particular event from happening to these specific groups?

I know in the Event Settings I can choose which groups to exclude from the event, but, if my users are in both Registered and Moderator groups (for example), if I do exclude "Moderator" from the selections in the Usergroups list of the event settings, the event will obviously still trigger as the user is also in the group Registered.

I'm sorry for my long explanation, I hope it makes sense.

Thank you!

As far as I can tell, there's no way around that except for making all your registered members also a part of a new member user group, so that you can exclude the default registered users as well as your staff team.

I came up with a theorical solution:

Making a copy of the event, applying it only to the secondary groups I want to have excluded from the main event. Basically, if the event A (which applies to EVERYONE) will charge people 1 credit, I will make another event B which applies only to all the secondary groups I have (excluding REGISTERED) in order to GIVE 1 credit.

Could this work?

It would basically act this way:

REGISTERED ONLY: -1 Credit
REGISTERED + SECONDARY GROUP: -1 Credit and then +1 Credit (with the secondary event made only for this purpose)

Hope it makes sense.

 

[DragonByte Tech]

By default, only the best event (e.g. the one that will charge people less, or earn them more) will apply.

So in your scenario, everyone who is not in the "secondary group" will get charged 1 credit, and everyone who is in the "secondary group" will earn 1 credit.

Thanks for reminding me about it, so setting the amount to charge/award to 0 to my secondary groups and hiding the alert will overcome the issue completely?

I don't know if 0 amount events will actually apply, they may or may not be skipped.

Thanks again Fillip, I'll try that, otherwise I'll switch the setting to Event Triggering: "All".

Have a wonderful day!

 

[V3NTUS]

It worked, but I had to set 0.00001 in order for the event to trigger, then I had to hide the event notification so users don't get notified at all about this.

Hopefully this will help others in my same situation. Thanks again Fillip!

I can set the credits to be purchased, or do I need the shop addon for that feature?

If you set up a Purchase event, and configure some global options in the Event Trigger Management for the Purchase trigger, you can sell the credits


Fillip

 

[Trueprime]

Is there any example or demo on how to do this?

 

[Trueprime]

If not I will continue to play around with it and eventually figure it out
