MyPlaza Documentation - FAQs
MyPlaza
I installed a new theme, but now, MyPlaza links don't show up!
This is an issue with MyBB's template system, causing conflicts if the theme has certain custimized templates (they will override MyPlaza's modifications). This is really not a problem with MyPlaza, however, I have provided a work around - see Template Handling.
No items appear in the plaza!
Items must be assigned to a visible category before you can see anything in the plaza. They also must have their visibility set to visible. Go to your AdminCP -> MyPlaza -> Categories & Items. Make sure that the item(s) in question are not (hidden) and are assigned to a category.
Does this work with Ryan's Inventory Shop?
There's a known conflict with that plugin, because both MyPlaza and the Inventory Shop use the same field name. I've implemented a work around for MyPlaza, if you want to run both plugins at once. To do so, you should deactivate both plugins, then open up /inc/plugins/myplaza.php and find the line:
define('MYPLAZA_MONEY_COLUMN', 'money');
Replace 'money' with something else, for example 'cash'. Your new line should look something like:
define('MYPLAZA_MONEY_COLUMN', 'cash');
Finally, activate both plugins.
Does MyPlaza integrate with Labrocca's MYPS?
I have not tested if the two can be run together. However MyPlaza has no support for the MYPS plugin and does not integrate with it.
If you are running MYPS and want to transfer to MyPlaza, simply activate both plugins, run the following SQL query (through something like phpMyAdmin):
UPDATE mybb_users SET money=myps;
(replace mybb_ with your defined table prefix; also, if you changed the name of your 'money' field, you should also do so here)
Then finally, deactivate the MYPS plugin.
If you want to transfer MyPlaza to MYPS, you can run the above query, but swap the money and myps fields around.
