Monetary Shop 0.5.7 [Updated: 25th Nov, 2015]

[mrdoe]

Ahhh! I wondering why I couldnt find it lol, Id love the feature Brena mentioned about removing stuff from others profiles, a "left in stock" would be cool too, like how many are in the shop that can be bought which could be set, so a valuable item might only have 10 available to buy etc? Just throwing it out there Peter..

Stock control isn't possible unless a different key is used, or some setup is done on a tmp account to store the quantity.  I didn't want to use a super forum key, or do anything messy.

Ah fair enought Peter, was just thinking out loud, I thought it might be like the way Texas has the amount left option in the gold shop as in just a number we can add/change, the remove thing would still be cool though

It can be faked so that the user can only buy X of them. I thought about doing that, but decided against it for now. Maybe I'll add in a "max buy" field in the next version.

Would be a welcome addition Peter if you ever decide to code that part

Thanks, appreciate the comments, I've put a lot of work into the Monetary System and the Shop, so am pleased that people are enjoying them.

For anyone wondering, here is a rough road map for the next few versions:

0.4.0 - Trading with other members
0.5.0 - Shop specials
0.6.0 - ? Start suggesting ideas

After 0.5.0 is out,  I will be working on an Auction addon which I have already got planned out in my head, so that's going to be fun.

For now, things have come up, so don't expect anything to be released for a week or 2.

If anyone has suggestions for features (for the shop), post them now, if they aren't too big, I will implement them into the next few releases.

I love the coming features, Peter!

I have a couple of suggestions.

1. For those who want to run a sale on shop items but don't want to change all of the prices, perhaps the option to discount the listed prices by a certain percent? For instance, the admin can run a sale for the day where all items are 25% or 50% off their usual prices.

2. Perhaps have a way for folks to purchase X amount of a given item without having to click the "Add to Cart" button multiple times.

3. The ability to restrict groups/members from purchasing specific items.

I totally understand if none of those are feasible. I was just trying to come up with some additional features and/or ideas.

I also support Brena's suggestion for removing items. That would be a most useful feature.

Ok, will make a deal with you guys. If the plugin in the library gets 15 ratings by the weekend, I'll release an update containing some of the suggestions posted (not all, as some will take longer to code, and I'm struggling for time).

Chance of getting implemented:

- Discounts
- Permissions on specific items
- Max quantity
- Remove item from profile (staff feature)
- Trading (though this is a big feature to code, so very doubtful it would make it in)

Oh, gosh, we need five more folks to rate it! Surely we can get that done, right? *pokes all the sleepers* I'm really debating on tagging Wormo, Todge, and a few of the others. xD

[Vu1canF0rce]

I put my vote/rate in. We value and thank you for your hard work, Peter. Keep 'em coming.

[Former Member]

I rated!

May I ask one thing Peter? If you dont want to thats fine. ^^ Instead of the large blocks for the items when you go to edit. Can they be put in straight lines? It would make things easier to move and keep items together so you can see the info better like the ID numbers and pricing. Just a suggestion of course! =3

[Boy_Wonder]

I like them in block format personally, I understood it immediately as each block is a 'unit' and I like to think of them as shipping crates XD

[Peter]

@greedsins

If you really would prefer that, I could release a separate plugin just for you with that small change?

[Boy_Wonder]

Peter I had an idea I'd love to see, and I don't know if its possible - but would it be possible for a one time use only say I wanted to have items that could be found/picked up on missions. That are listed in a hidden category in the shop (so people who aren't staff can't see it). Then you could say input a certain ubbc code eg [shopItem=ID Number here] it would display that item, people can one time pick it up.

Or for a more complex option (not sure how possible it is) [Shop=ID Number here {members="member username 1|member username 2"}]
Where in that mode it would only allow certain members to pick the item up. This should be one time use only either way.

And tell me if I'm waffling or you need it re-explaining

Hi Peter! No need to make that for me. The block way is fine. But thanks for the considerate thought!
