[DBTech] DragonByte Shop [Paid] 6.0.4

[Bethk84]

Hi all,

Thank you very much for your interest in DragonByte Shop

Unfortunately we don't have one at the moment, which is why we maxed out the allowed amount of screenshots

We will be working on getting one set up as soon as we can feel confident the demo site is secure. We had to shut down our vB demo site some years ago because malicious individuals were using it to attempt to exploit the server.

You can absolutely use [AD] Credits, you will need to know the column name it uses in the user table (and/or the table name it connects to), then you can add that as a currency

Postbit display is absolutely coming, I will make sure it is in next week's update guaranteed

This will be coming in a future update, I will let our Managing Director know you're interested in that feature so it will be prioritised higher

I am also interested in letting my users have their own shops. This will be useful for my harry potter rpg. Any chance we can add the harry potter currency to a future update? I will happily contribute money wise to this update

How would that work? I mean items are defined by what's included so wouldn't they only be able to sell pre-existing products?

You can add whatever currency you want, if you have an existing credits mod that generates this currency you can simply integrate this with the shop mod

Actually, when the user-created shops are implemented, users will be able to freely create new items using the "Custom Item" item type. This is an item type that has no actual functionality (e.g. it doesn't change usergroups, colours or anything of the sort), it's just an icon. They'll be able to control everything the admin can create when adding a new item, but they are restricted to this one item type

Just waiting with buying this addon till users can create own shops Basicly we are a community based on a video game, so we want users to be able to sell their items from ingame with a currency of their choosing, also are users able to "Bid" on items? So there isnt a BO price but a Starting Bid and then people can bid it up?

We have no plans of creating auction functionality at this time. It'll all be fixed prices.

Guess I will have to find a custom coder then, sadly. What is the idea of saying you will allow people to have their own shops on the website if all prices will be fixed anyways?

You don't barter for your items on Amazon, and there's plenty of people and companies who sell their virtual items there.

If there's enough demand for a bidding system for user shops in DB Shop we would of course add it However, we'll need to collect feedback from people such as yourself in order to know!

Having auction system that uses the forum points would be pretty neat addon for several boards who want active community and members can earn free merchandise etc just by participating more on forums to earn points and use them for bidding on the items listed . Pretty much just another giveway type of auction where members will have to work and earn the points .

Exactly

Thank you both for your feedback, I'll pass it along to our Managing Director immediately

To clarify why I hesitated on the idea in the first place; there's been demand for our DragonByte Classifieds mod to be ported to XF as well, and I believe that mod does support virtual currencies as well (or it may be a planned feature in the upcoming v2). Traditionally, we've been hesitant to duplicate functionality, but I can definitely see the value in having this kind of functionality directly in the shop mod as well.

Yes there are several different ways to use it specially with full functional shop addon will engage community pretty well as well .

Are there any add ons for that sort of thing that you can recommend, @DragonByte Tech ?

It's a pretty big undertaking to set up a demo site and making sure it's secure, plus the added time to keep it up to date etc.

I'll bring it up with our Managing Director today though and see if I can speed up the process

Anyone besides Kinmunity out there with a website with this addon up and running I can get to see? I would like to see how people are using this addon
