----------------------------

If there is anything else you want please tell me and I will add it.

Cool idea!

Maybe some signup money and referral money? I can't really think off the top of my head hehe.

Excelent idea's added to the list

how long are we looking on this? I was developing my own item shop for use with the rpg system Im making but I think I will stick with yours and just add the needed stuff. Make sure you have the money not give on forums where post counts dont go up. Go way for people to jump money up in testing forums and such. Also make it so you can give a different amount of money per forum for threads and posts. Also make sure you put in donation and back cheat checking. So people cant try to put in or donate a negative amt to gain more money.

I honestly dont know how long this is going to be, it depends how much time i have between school work and other commitments.

The money only given on forums where posts count can be done but im not so sure about the money set per forum except maby to but an extra money for posting in this forum field the add/modify forum page. The donate system will have checking of course such as donating to the same user and it will also have a minimum price to donate (like a tax) of 10 money (the minimum donate will be 20) so they would loose money if the donate to them selves

I could whip out the code to make it changable per forum in about 10 minutes so its not hard code. Heres what you do. Make an extra forum table column for it. Set a defualt option in the acp for if its left at 0 to give defualt amt then in the newposting functions add the needed code the forum tables info it already grabbed at the code insert point. So you just then do and if on that table number to make sure its not 0 then just use it. Hope that helps you some.

I was actually thinking of adding the colum to forum to do this when you suggested it. Currently i have it set to give a default ammount and then add extra money for a set forum that yould be called from that coloum then adding it to the default money given per post/thread in something like

$newmoney = ($bbuserinfo[field5] + $itemshop[moneyperpost] + $forum[extramoney]);

That would work but would make some times people have to put in like -x to drop it down instead of just setting in the amt they want.

could add a little drop down beside where it is set saying add to default ammount or take from the ammount
