Ok, so they are fine.

I haven't changed anything apart from adding in some debug stuff.  Is the Bank still not working at the moment?

Bank works fine. It did do ever since the popup numbers

Actually no, you disabled something didn't you? Then it started working.
Either way, thanks, and I am now heading to sleep (yes at 1pm )

Yeah, I disabled it for a second.  I know the issue now, and I'll put out a release in a second.

Thanks a lot for helping me debug it.

The least I can do since you've made a decent plugin

Awesome, thanks for all the hard work Peter! No pressure by the way! My friend and I are in the early stages of creating so we haven't gotten that far. We've been trying to decide how we should go about certain codes that way we can trim any unnecessary stuff that we might have added. :)Besides, I'm sure you are loaded with work as far as codes/plug-ins go. I'll keep an eye out for an update though!

Because of the bug Stinky666 found, I've now fixed that, and this plugin won't need to be updated, as the issue was with Yootil.  Yootil gets updated my end for the moment, so there is nothing for people to do, no download of plugins, so the version will stay as 0.4.1, so look out for 0.4.2 at some point (maybe today).

Yootil Plugin Bar - Where is this feature located peter?

Edit: I mean I see the bar, should it take you to the bank if clicked on? because if it does it's not working.
Edit: Peter never mind I see the little piggy @ the lower left hand corner of the screen. Is it possible to have the pig with the other icons on the other side?

Sorry, I missed the post

It is possible, however that's ProBoards network bar, so don't really want to be adding stuff too it (not even sure if they would want that done anyway).

If you are not keen on the Yootil Plugin Bar, I could add it in as an option to enable it, that way the Monetary System won't add anything too it?

Though I think it's neat, cause any plugin can add to it if they wish.

Just out of curiosity, is there a way for staff to see how much money is in each person's 'account'? (As our forum uses money for more in-character things, and it would help if we knew that someone had so-and-so-much saved) I wouldn't mind if it's just the forum admin, although being able to edit who has access would be awesome!

I thought about this when developing it.  I thought about showing bank balances under the money, however I decided that I would rather it mimic an actual bank account.  So basically it's only the user who knows how much money they have in the account.  My reason for this, is that I do intend to expand on the Bank system in the future with additional features, and possible events.

If you want this changed (as in added in as options), it will require a few more on board before I consider it.

I'm still reading through this whole thread, catching up on what I missed, but when I saw this I had to reply. I'd like that option as well as Stern as my forum like hers is using it more in an IC fashion. However the money from the posting they do will allow them to moderate their own forum on their board. Like buying a house. Having that option (or maybe even adding in the ability for the Admin to take the money right from the account) would make things a little easier on the guests.

Oh and will there be a way to trade the money like in posts? Kind of like how we can tag people with the @ ? Or am I just nuts for thinking about it?

A few people have request that staff can access members bank accounts.  I will definitely consider this, now that a few more people have shown interest.

As for the trading of money, a donation system will be created, but that will not be able to work via posts, it will work through the PM system, as that is the only way I can securely transfer money at the moment.

I could allow the key permissions to be opened up to members and staff to modify, but that would allow malicious members who know how, to modify other members key data.  While this would make it a lot easier my end, and allow for instant trading of money, am just not sure if it's worth it.

Well I don't want the Malicious people to have that ability (and unfortunately there are tons on the game my forum is for) So I guess I'll stick to the donation thing... which is fine with me. Thank you though for all of your hard work, I've been reading through the posts and it seems that this is one is making coding the hardest for you. Still I love it.

Peter,
No... I mean just move it over. Not include it in with that bar. I mean maybe float it over or something. I just want to keep it somewhat uniform with other icons.

Unfortunately that wouldn't come down to the Monetary System, as it's a part of the Yootil Library.  You should be able to use CSS to customise it it.

It's the bugs that can be the hardest part of it, especially when it's something that I can't replicated on my dev forum.  The plugin as a whole is fairly straightforward, nothing complex apart it.  In fact, I would say so far it's been very easy, it's just being motivated to work on it, that's the hard part, and one of the main reasons I haven't started working on 2 other plugins yet (trophies / achievements, and RPG), as in the past I've just given up on them.

New update:

0.4.2 [22/02/2013]

- If not logged in, bank page will just show the forum
- Admin tabs have been changed around, some settings combined to 1 tab now
- New setting for the quick reply, you can now set the amount if you want it to be different
- 2 new methods for other plugins: pixeldepth_monetary.disable_earning() & pixeldepth_monetary.enable_earning()
- Minor bug fixes and tweaks to the code


With the 2 new methods, these allow you to disable / enable earning money.  So for example, a plugin could be made so that if a post didn't have enough words, then that user wouldn't earn money on that post. - Requested by ?Leslie?

Gotcha approved on new caledonia, didntsee you at izuko.  Mind you, I got super excited to see someone new, before i realized it was probably you.

The problem is the sidebar plugin, there is errors with it.

To make sure the Monetary Plugin works, please move it above the sidebar and post back

Ok, well it was above the sidebar plugin on the izukoisland website and it wasn't working there either, but for whatever reason, they both seem to be working fine at both sites now...

Peter where in the css style sheet can I move the icon? I don't even know where the icon would be on the style sheet.

There is no class at the moment, however there is 2 ids, yootil-bar-wrapper and yootil-bar which you should be able to use in your stylesheet.
