vBShop v3.0.0 Beta 2 Released!

Hey all,

Continuing from the trend started with Beta 1, vBShop v3.0.0 Beta 2 introduces several new features. This Beta version focuses on adding new Item Types, greatly increasing the variety of items you are able to offer to your forum users.

One of the biggest additions is the ability to pay per change of Avatar and Signature. This was a frequently requested item that proved to be quite a challenge to implement, but it's now implemented! Note that these items require overrides enabled in vBulletin Options, which are disabled by default. There are options to make certain usergroups exempt from the overrides, so you should be able to configure it to your liking. When they have purchased the items, they can change their avatars and signatures. If the item is not re-configurable, it's then removed from their inventory so that they cannot change them again.

The other frequently requested feature was the ability to sell pre-defined colours for the Username and User Title Style items, as well as pre-configured User Titles. These item types are now available for you to create items for, featuring the same configuration options as users enjoy in the front-end with the existing items.

Extended feature lists for all other features can be found below
