For some reason I have made a few threads already and it isn't giving any money. I did setup everything before I enabled it. The plugin is right underneath yootil plugin.
Any suggestions?

Got a link to the forum it's not working on?

Was it a fresh install, or did you keep the previous key data when removing the old one?

Being able to see would definitely be great.
As another suggestion, how about a "richest members list"? it could be set to a specific amount showing: 3, 5, 10, 25, 100.. Literally you input the number yourself, rather than selecting from options. Default options would be fine though. 3, 5 and 10 I think may even be fine.

Not possible without collecting the data to a database

Aww that sucks. I assume there's also no way to see who's earned the most in a day/week/month?

Nah

ProBoards would need to allow us to query and sort it, which means extra requests to the server.

I think I deleted the data and all.
Here's the site

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'd like to see this feature added as well. With visibility and editing of the bank given to Staff Members for peoples banks. As it is now, once members have deposited their money into the account we are unable to view/edit which causes problems when sneaky members bend the rule to earn more currency than they should. e_e ie. Spamming I hope to see this feature implemented in the future!

To be fair though, if they are spamming, then then should be banned from earning money, which is possible.

Am still on the fence about allowing a members bank be viewable to staff.  The idea of the bank is to mimic one, and adding in those options you are asking just takes away from it actually being something personal and private to the member, which a Bank account is.

Is the Sort Code: 12-61-12 suppose to change per account? Those with Multiple accounts have found the account number changing but the sort code for some is the same and it gives access to the 'money' thats there.

The sort code is for the forum (and is probably unique, though can't be 100% sure on that), the account number is unique for each member of your forum, and those 2 bits of data don't effect anything relating to the money in the account.

Can you explain what you mean by "for some is the same and it gives access to the 'money' thats there"?

[Former Member]

Okay I disproved my own question about the sort code. -_-;

And to explain more; some of the people on my site have multiple accounts. When they go into the bank with their other accounts, the account number for each account is different but it shows a few transactions and the money in the account. When that account adds the funds, Deposit, it adds to the total but only on that account. Then switching to the next account, the same amount of money and transactions, shows up on another account and same thing happens.
The same thing happens when the account doesn't even belong to the same people. The account numbers are different but they end up with the money and transactions.

I see your point. But I think Staff should act as a sort of moderator or Bank Accountant of sorts. Anyways, if you decide not to add this I also have a problem with disabling the bank feature. When disabled, any and all money earned thats been put into the Bank remains in the bank and isn't er... thrown back out into the members wallet ? Is there a way to do this manually, or perhaps add this?

That's because it's a different account.  You could look at it as having an additional bank account.  The data is tied into the account, and can't be shared between multiple accounts.

While it could be done, it wouldn't be a very good idea, as it would open up the key data for everyone to change.  So for security (as in restricting it to the current account), it won't be changed.

A donation system will be implemented in the future, so you could donate your money to another account, and then place it in the bank so it's all in one place.  I could create a system that is based on the Donation system that is just renamed to "Transfer Funds", however this wouldn't be a direct transfer into another accounts bank, it would need a confirmation on the receiving end which would then get saved into the bank.

Hope that makes sense.

The only way I could do this is check to see if the bank is disabled, then when they next perform an action (i.e post), it moves their money to their wallet.

Or

If the bank is disabled, a notification shows up telling them the bank is disabled, you have X amount in the bank, would you like to transfer it to your wallet.

Never mind about my problem with the plugin. I had to delete the plugin and the data to make it work. So it is working right.

Could different member accounts have joint 'bank accounts'? (All on the same global login)

(I'm looking for an easy way for my members to move the bling they earn in their IC member accounts onto their OoC accounts, or even a single IC account if they want to buy something.)

While it technically is possible, it just wouldn't work too well.  If the user was logged into one of the accounts and wanted to do something with all their money, there would be no way to auto fetch the other accounts balance without the user manually transferring it.
