Hey There. Have upgraded vb from 4.2.2 to 4.2.3. Scores used to save previously. However since upgrade whenever game finishes, just takes me back to homepage, any advice appreciated

[stangger5]

Do the (INFO - vbadvanced or another Portal) edit that comes with the arcade.

Edit your index.php file..

[rinkrat]

Doing the edit on index.php to get it to save the scores brings these errors:

Every user gives these errors so it fills up the error log all day. Any way to fix it?

[stangger5]

Mind if I have a look ?

[rinkrat]

Not much to see. I did the edit needed to save the scores and it triggers all of these errors. I searched google for it and it appears that a lot of people have the same problem although I can't find a fix. The program still works just gives off errors for every single user on my site.

[stangger5]

What did you edit the index.php file with ?

I`ve always have used Textpad.

I have received the same errors from the time the index.php edit was added.

[rinkrat]

The worst part is that every user to your index.php triggers all these errors, not just the arcade users. Brutal. I had to disable the arcade till I can find a fix.

[stangger5]

I think,, its your redirect.. It takes out your www.

[rinkrat]

Thanks. I'll look into that! I use the redirect because VBShout won't load from www. only without it.

Is there something I could do to the redirect or to index.php to fix it?

[macfan365]

So I'm having some issues with my arcade (http://therecommunity.net/arcade.php).

Anyone can help me with this?

I also installed the navtab plugin and nothing happened.

admincp >> Navigation Manager >> Arcade:
Choose "Edit" from the drop down to the right and click "Go".
Active need to be "YES".

Save a copy of the arcade.php file before you edit it.

Open arcade.php in your favorite editor.

Find all instances of =& and change it to = save

You may have to repeat these steps in other files. Remember to ALWAYS save a copy of the file before you edit it.

Fantastic...thanks so much!!!

Lol, I guess so :)
Btw can someone explain where I can give moderators perms to run the arcade?

[stangger5]

Only admin`s can run the arcade right now..

So must we do those modifications in the installation guide?

Because to me the plugin is not visualized good.

Many thanks Stangger. I'm going to make these changes.
Maybe can be good for you to add this link to the first post so you don't have to repeat many times. ;)
Can you please tell me if we must made all modifications shown in this file attached: Installation - vBulletin 3.5.x-3.8.x + 4.x - english.html ??

[stangger5]

All you really need to do, is:
CHMOD the /arcade directory and all its subfolders to 0777
and
Import the Product-XML-File: ./includes/xml/product-ibproarcade.xml and click IMPORT

You dont have to edit the templates, if you dont want to..

If you have vb4.2, install the ibProArcade Tab in Navbar vb4.2

If you have problems with this plugin when it comes to saving scores because the game name contains strings such as "delete", "update", etc., try replacing the ibp_cleansql function at the bottom of the arcade.php file with:

function ibp_cleansql($value)
{
global $vbulletin;
return $vbulletin->db->escape_string($value);
}

Guys, we should get together somehow and "force" MrZeropage to upgrade this to VB5 and also to fix some issues with VB4. Small donations and nice word can do miracles. Are we allowed to create separate thread in order to do this, to gather and see who is interested?
Can we talk about ammount of donations and to see how many of us are interested and later on to contact "Zeropage" and see is this possible.
If we are not together we cant do much, but together we can do a lot!

Pretty sure you'll run into a blank on that, because of this:
my problem is that I don't have any vB5 license :p

Pretty sure you'll run into a blank on that, because of this:

This would benefit everyone, if only license is a problem but I am afraid there is more to this than just a license.

This wouldn't be investing in the future of vB though - it would be investing in the future of people making add-ons and then selling them for profit (which is what would inevitably happen).

[goxy63]

This wouldn't be investing in the future of vB though - it would be investing in the future of people making add-ons and then selling them for profit (which is what would inevitably happen).

As I can see many of us will not upgrade to VB5 as there is no enough modifications, would say that many of us will not go for VB5 without favorite modifications.
If you look at VB5 modifications that really looks pathetic now, after how many years ?

Things go two ways, no mods less sold licenses, more mods surely few more or much more (I dont know) licenses will be sold...
How it is not investing in VB future?
Its like when real estate companies invest in parks....

I upgraded to VB5 because I was thinking few of my active members would not mind that much when it comes to modifications like Ibproarcade, I was very wrong and now thinking to go back to VB4...

ps
Used VB5 license we can find from 80$, think about it.
And I bought my first VB license because of modifications, if in that time I would see just few modifications I would never purchase it....

[Mark.B]

Reality is, the vast majority of customers are not interested in modifications. That's always been the case going right back to vB2.

If the company sarted offering free licenses for 'modification authors', how do you police that? Someone says they want one in order to write a modification - how do you make sure they do? And what classes as a 'modification'? Yesterday I wrote a small piece of code to push the vB5 PM chat icon below the username, instead of being on the same line. Is that a modification? Can I have a free license?

You would end up never selling any licenses because every user would become a 'modification author'. And you'd need a team of people to administer and police it - who would pay their wages?

It's all a moot point anyway. There's a reason no software company does this - it isn't remotely viable. And vBulletin won't be doing it, ever.

[goxy63]

Reality is, the vast majority of customers are not interested in modifications.

If that is true I would agree with you, but how about all that modifications for VB4, I doubt that they were made beacuse "vast majority is not interested" !?

I am not asking for license, not for me or anyone else, just seeing that many coders would not upgrade their mods (simple or complex ones) to VB5 as they dont have VB5.... and saying that by my opinion this would be "win win" thing. I think that creator of "Ibproarcade" does not have VB5, in fact I am sure of that, and if he did this mod would probably be upgraded....

I just dont like seeing what I see here (vbulletin.org/com), this place now looks like it was nuked and here and there someone in hazmat suit walks through...

ps
I do understand that most of VB licenses are sold to people who dont need modifications, nor they will ever look for one, but I also understand that there is significant number of people who are

[Mark.B]

Whilst the vbulletin.org community has always been very active, its users represent a very tiny percentage of vBulletin users generally. The vast majority of customers do not modify their boards at all, and that has always been the case. People who modify their forums are a significant but small minority.

A basic hook system has recently been added back to vB5. Reality is though, there hasn't been much interest. Repeated requests for input on hook locations get roundly ignored. So it's not really gained much traction.

Look at other platforms and the market for free modifications has contracted considerably. Most coders are now only interested in what they can sell. There are multiple and complicated reasons why that's happened, but it's the way the market is.

[MarkFL]

I'm curious if anyone running vB 4.2.5 Beta 1 and PHP 7.x has managed to get this arcade running?

[MarkFL]

I found the issue was that I am now using mysqli instead of mysql, so in the file "arcade.php", locate the line that reads:

$MYSQLI = 0; // set to 1 to use ibProArcade-mySQLi-driver (may cause problems!)

and change that to:

$MYSQLI = 1; // set to 1 to use ibProArcade-mySQLi-driver (may cause problems!)

Next, download the attached .PHP file and overwrite the file located at:

arcade/functions/dbclass_mysqli.php

with the attached file you downloaded. :)

[MarkFL]

Also, when using mysqli, replace "admincp/arcade.php" with the attached file. :)

[blind-eddie]

I am having a few members report and confirmed that they are not able to save any games to favorites on my 3.8.8 board and some cannot click their favorites tab in the arcade navbar without getting the following database error.

Create plugin hooked at "parse_templates" with the following code:

if ((THIS_SCRIPT === 'arcade' OR strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'arcade')) AND STYLEID == XX)
{
$template_hook['headinclude_css'] .= '<style>.alt1 legend {color: $FFFFFF !important;}</style>';
}

Change "XX" to the styleid of the dark style in which you are wanting to make the changes.

You didn't grab the entire block of code...you are missing the closing bracket for the if statement. :)

[Coder2016]

Oh yes my mistake Had forgotten the clamps.

Unfortunately no change.

The font has remained the same.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2017/04/17.png

[MarkFL]

Oops...I had a typo in the code...replace "$FFFFFF" with "#FFFFFF"...that should work. :)

[Coder2016]

Many Thanks . Now it fits everywhere.

[Coder2016]

Now I have one more question.

How must the code be, if I would like to change this for several styles?

I've tried it so.

If ((THIS_SCRIPT === 'arcade' OR strpos ($ _ SERVER ['REQUEST_URI'], 'arcade')) AND STYLEID == 10,11)
{
$ Template_hook ['headinclude_css']. = '<Style> .old1 legend {color: #FFFFFF! Important;} </ style>';
}

But unfortunately this does not work. Get a error message.

Many Thanks.

[MarkFL]

Try Using the code:

if ((THIS_SCRIPT === 'arcade' OR strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'arcade')) AND in_array(STYLEID, array(10, 11)))
{
$template_hook['headinclude_css'] .= '<style>.alt1 legend {color: #FFFFFF !important;}</style>';
}

[Coder2016]

Many Thanks. Now it works fine. :)

[blind-eddie]

Hi

I wanted to install some styles but the style is not right in the Arcade.

The view in the forum itself fits the style. Only when I go into the arcade then does the style no longer.

Give it a fix?

Many thanks for your help.

[MarkFL]

One thing that needs to be done for any new style added is to edit the template "ARCADE_vB4" and add just above the closing </head> tag the following:

{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}

[Coder2016]

Super many thanks to MarkFL. Exactly that was my problem. Now it's working.

[Coder2016]

Have another question.

How can I display more?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2017/04/16.png

In the ACP I find nothing.

For me, he always shows only one.

The latest champions and the latest player result


Many Thanks.

[blind-eddie]

All arcade edits are in the arcade.php and in the arcade/skins/skin_Arcade.php


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=178117

[MarkFL]

From what I've noticed it will display up to the 5 newest champions (I don't see any way to change that in the settings), and 1 latest arcade score (which makes sense since there can only be one latest. :)

edit: Good find, Tim! :up:

[blind-eddie]

I have just about every edit you can have in this arcade. lol

[Coder2016]

I have just about every edit you can have in this arcade. lol


Thanks blind-eddie

What else do you have for the arcade?

[blind-eddie]

You would need to compare mine to yours Coder2016 ti see the differences.
Follow the link to my arcade in my sig below to see all the custom edits and follow the link to stanggers5 site to see his vb4.2 arcade, he created and installed 99% of all edits within my arcade, he would be the one to speak to regarding your arcade edits.

Hi,

I have php 7 running with the arcade.

Folds so far quite well.

Now I have however made a mistake.

If I want to evaluate a game, then these errors come

PHP Warning: Illegal stringOffset 'css_method' in .... / arcade / functions / functions.php on line 1438

PHP Warning: Illegal stringOffset 'img_dir' in .... / arcade / functions / functions.php on line 1444

PHP Warning: Illegal stringOffset 'macro_id' in .... / arcade / functions / functions.php on line 1449

PHP Warning: Illegal stringOffset 'img_dir' in .... / arcade / functions / functions.php on line 1459


I hope you can help me there with a FIX.

Thanks in advance.

[blind-eddie]

I do not know if the arcade is php 7 compatible.

Hello!

I have been using IbProArcade for a while now. However, it suddenly started to work very very slowly, it takes more than 1 minute for the main arcade page to load.

This happened both with version 2.7.2+ on a vBulletin 4.2.2 and it's happening the same on vBulletin 4.2.4. I then upgraded ibPro to 2.7.3+ but the issue is still there. Any suggestions?

[Coder2016]

Hi,

Where are these links defined in the Arcade?

I just upgraded to vb 4.2.5 and i am getting a blank white page on the arcade.php page. (500 error)

Any ideas what might be causing this?

500 is a general server error.

If you have the actual error log it would help track down the specific issue.

The error(s) should be sent to the technical e-mail address in the config.php file

Hi

here is the log:

[16-May-2017 18:11:21 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW) in /home/username/public_html/forum/arcade.php on line 3191

Line 3191 is this:

$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());


It appears this only happened because i upgraded to php 7 also yesterday. So either i can go back to 5.6 which i was using before or fix this error

Any way to fix it? I think the "&" symbol is deprecated in PHP 7 but how to fix it?

[MarkFL]

Yes, go through the file "arcade.php" and do a search/replace on =& to change them all to =. :)

You may also need to change line 35 to:

$MYSQLI = 1; // set to 1 to use ibProArcade-mySQLi-driver (may cause problems!)

[dan325ci]

Did all those changes but now getting this:

Yes, I get that error on one PHP 7.x site (but it only happened all of a sudden after the arcade had been working well for months), but not another, and I haven't been able to resolve the issue yet. :(

Yes, I get that error on one PHP 7.x site (but it only happened all of a sudden after the arcade had been working well for months), but not another, and I haven't been able to resolve the issue yet. :(


Furthermore, if i keep set $MYSQLI = 0;

I get this error:


Call to undefined function mysql_connect() on line 41 in /home/username/public_html/forum/arcade/functions/dbclass.php
#0 /home/username/public_html/forum/arcade.php(188): db_driver->connect()
#1 {main}


So, does that mean the only way to get this to work is downgrade to PHP 5.6 again?

Are these issues a result of upgrading to php 7 or 4.2.5??

[MarkFL]

I believe these are issues related to the PHP/MySQL versions, not the vB version. I don't know how to resolve the other error, although I will admit not putting much time into it because in general, I always seem to have more important issues to deal with. :)

well heres hoping you can help to identify it. it could just be a simple code issue. For now our entire arcade is down and i guess i will have to look for alternatives. :(

Here's how I was able to resolve the issue:


Rename "dbclass.php" to "dbclass_orig.php".
Rename "dbclass_mysqli.php" to "dbclass.php".

That brought back the arcade for me. :)

edit: I forgot to mention, these files are located in the "arcade/functions" folder.

[MarkFL]

Another change that needs to be made so that the product settings work within the AdminCP is to edit the file "admincp/arcade.php" to change line 41 to:

$sql_driver = FUNCTIONS_PATH . "dbclass.php";

[MarkFL]

What version of vB are you running? On the site where I was having the issue, I coincidentally upgraded to the latest vB 4.2.5 (I was running a Beta before) and then after the upgrade, I looked at the arcade issue again, and it was only then that the "Cannot find database" issue went away, and only then could I proceed with the changes I described in the past few posts. :)

[bridge2heyday]

I took sometime checking this for a friend
on MYSQLI class I changed the connect function to
function connect()
{
$this->connection_id = mysqli_connect($this->obj['sql_host'], $this->obj['sql_user'], $this->obj['sql_pass'], $this->obj['sql_database']);
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {

}

}
and at line 186
$this->query_id = mysqli_query($the_query, $this->connection_id);
connection should be the first parameter on mysqli_connect fuction not second parameter
$this->query_id = mysqli_query($this->connection_id, $the_query);
it is working fine now

you should use MySQLI
$MYSQLI = 1;
I tried this with PHP 5.6 .. but this problem should be solved for PHP 7 as well .. not aware about other problems

Any other advice?

To fix the deprecated constructor warnings, download the file "arcade.php" and locate the class constructor beginning on line 112 which reads:

class info {

var $member = array();
var $input = array();
var $session_id = "";
var $base_url = "";
var $vars = "";
var $skin_id = "0";
var $skin_rid = "";
var $lang_id = "en";
var $skin = "";
var $lang = "";
var $server_load = 0;
var $version = "v1.3 Final";
var $lastclick = "";
var $location = "";
var $debug_html = "";
var $perm_id = "";
var $forum_read = array();
var $topic_cache = "";
var $session_type = "";

function info() {
global $sess, $std, $DB, $INFO, $vboptions, $vbulletin, $session;

$this->vars = &$INFO;

$this->vars['board_name'] = $vboptions['bbtitle'];
}
}

And change this to:

class info {

var $member = array();
var $input = array();
var $session_id = "";
var $base_url = "";
var $vars = "";
var $skin_id = "0";
var $skin_rid = "";
var $lang_id = "en";
var $skin = "";
var $lang = "";
var $server_load = 0;
var $version = "v1.3 Final";
var $lastclick = "";
var $location = "";
var $debug_html = "";
var $perm_id = "";
var $forum_read = array();
var $topic_cache = "";
var $session_type = "";

public function __construct() {
global $sess, $std, $DB, $INFO, $vboptions, $vbulletin, $session;

$this->vars = &$INFO;

$this->vars['board_name'] = $vboptions['bbtitle'];
}

function info() {
self::__construct();
}
}

Then look for the class constructor around line 345 that reads:

class Arcade

Scroll down about 12 lines and find:

function Arcade()

Change that to:

public function __construct()

Then after that function, around line 505 insert:

function Arcade()
{
self::__construct();
}

Save and upload that file to your server. Next, download and open the file "arcade/functions/functions.php and locate the constructor at line 3 and replace this code:

class FUNC {

var $time_formats = array();
var $time_options = array();
var $offset = "";
var $offset_set = 0;
var $num_format = "";
var $allow_unicode = 1;
var $get_magic_quotes = 0;

function FUNC() {
global $INFO, $vboptions, $vbulletin;

$this->time_options = array( 'JOINED' => $INFO['clock_joined'],
'SHORT' => $INFO['clock_short'],
'LONG' => $INFO['clock_long']
);

$this->num_format = ($INFO['number_format'] == 'space') ? ' ' : $INFO['number_format'];

$this->get_magic_quotes = get_magic_quotes_gpc();

}

With this:

class FUNC {

var $time_formats = array();
var $time_options = array();
var $offset = "";
var $offset_set = 0;
var $num_format = "";
var $allow_unicode = 1;
var $get_magic_quotes = 0;

public function __construct() {
global $INFO, $vboptions, $vbulletin;

$this->time_options = array( 'JOINED' => $INFO['clock_joined'],
'SHORT' => $INFO['clock_short'],
'LONG' => $INFO['clock_long']
);

$this->num_format = ($INFO['number_format'] == 'space') ? ' ' : $INFO['number_format'];

$this->get_magic_quotes = get_magic_quotes_gpc();

}

function FUNC() {
self::__construct();
}

Save the file and upload it to your server. :)

I have attached an edited version of "mod_arcade.php" to get rid of the deprecated constructor error. Upload it to the folder "arcade/modules".

I just edited all of the PHP files in the "arcade/modules" folder to fix the class constructors. I have attached a .ZIP file containing them.

MarkFL has been graciously assisting me in getting my Arcade back up after I upgraded from 4.2.1 to 4.2.5 and also took my php from 5.4 to 7.1. With Mark's help we were able to at least get the Arcade to show up and the games work, but as you can see from the attached images, the template/display is ALL jacked up! It appears to me as if the page is trying to access details such as individual game info but can't find it, so it's putting the '%' symbols in as placeholders, but that's just a guess. I'm not a coder, just have some basic knowledge but have no idea how to correct the display. I'm going to continue to take advantage of Mark's generosity but if anyone else has ideas to help us they would be welcomed! And btw, vB.org is an awesome place full of awesome people :cheers:

[MarkFL]

Try running the following manual SQL query:

SELECT * FROM `games_scores`

Do you see percent signs in the table data?

[BGObsession]

Do you mean run it from the 'execute SQL query' function in vBulletin admincp? It tells me I don't have permission to do one. I tried to do it from within myphpadmin but got this error message:

Error
SQL query: Documentation

SELECT
*
FROM
'game scores' LIMIT 0, 25
MySQL said: Documentation

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ''game scores' LIMIT 0, 25' at line 4

[MarkFL]

In order to run manual SQL queries from within the AdminCP, you need to edit your "includes/config.php" file to add your userid to the list of users permitted to run such queries.

Look for this section in the file:

/* #### USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ####
The users specified here will be allowed to run queries from the control panel.
See the above entries for more information on the format.
Please note that the ability to run queries is quite powerful. You may wish
to remove all user IDs from this list for security reasons. */
$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '';

Add your userid to the last line. Suppose your userid is 1, then you would want:

/* #### USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ####
The users specified here will be allowed to run queries from the control panel.
See the above entries for more information on the format.
Please note that the ability to run queries is quite powerful. You may wish
to remove all user IDs from this list for security reasons. */
$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '1';

[BGObsession]

I gave myself permissions, but the scores show up normally Mark, no '%' signs :)

[MarkFL]

Based on the install code, here is the list of all the other tables created by this product:


games_settings
games_savedGames
games_league
games_list
games_settings
games_cats
tournament_players
tournaments
games_champs
badwords
macro
tournament_players_statut
games_session


Check those tables too for percent signs. :)

[BGObsession]

Didn't see any '%' signs. Only thing of note was that there were zero results for 'games_savedGames' (and a few others like tournament info)

[MarkFL]

Okay, well, I will be back tonight on your site to continue the investigation into the issue.

At least now I know those percent signs aren't in your database. :)

[BGObsession]

You da man Mark!

[blind-eddie]

What arcade php files are you editing?

[MarkFL]

I have traced the issue to the setting "HTML-Title format"...whatever is the first character in that setting is what shows up all over the place. Why? I have no idea. I jus trtied for over 2 hours to figure that out with no success...and without FTP access, my ability to debug the issue is rather limited. :(

What arcade php files are you editing?

There's a long list of files I've edited to get rid of deprecated class constructor errors, mainly. :)

[stangger5]

Looks like its not reading the lang file..

Oh i let this go for a bit. Took down my arcade but everyone misses it. I would love to get some assistance on the fix also. Is there anyway either one of you can help me if i give you server login credentials?

PHP 7 breaks a lot of old code (and hence modifications).
Thats why vBulletin 3 and vBulletin 4 themselves had to be updated.

JFYI, I run the V3 Arcade on my site, and that seems perfectly happy on PHP 7.

[goxy63]

Is there any chance that I use VB4 for arcade and to bridge that with VB5 user profiles?
Some kind of bridge?
I lost most of users when I removed arcade games, now on VB5 my small forums are almost empty. Would like to offer them same games but would like to keep forums on vb5.
I would purchase new domain just for games and will purchase second hand vb4 license....some of users are begging me for months about this....
Ideas?

Just for the public record, stangger5 is a genius. He is the Rainman of the arcade. Thanks so much for your help and great job!

Hi,

If someone steals me a score, I get this email.

Hello Admin,

Hi Stangger5

Sorry for the late reply, just saw this.

No i did not get it working and would love for you to have a look at it.

Thanks

[dan325ci]

I would be willing to give it a try. PM the FTP access information to me, along with the url of your site and login credentials to a full admin account, and I will see what I can do, but I can't promise anything. :)

PM'd you. Sorry for the delay. Ive also asked Stangger, so whoever is up for it, thats great.

[MarkFL]

I'd like to wait and see what stangger5 says, as he has more expertise with this product. Also, I am in the middle of several projects at the moment. :)

[Coder2016]

Hi

what could that be.

If I install a game, then the umlaute like ö, ä, ü do not.

In the php file of the game agree the umlauts. Only when you installed the game, the umlauts no longer match.

[Rakehel]

Can anyone tell me what the final fix was in regard to the HTTP 500 Error?

I'm still running VB 4.2.3, couldn't get the 4.2.5 install to work. (Still hoping to do that.) I've been wondering if the v4.2.5 install attempt broke the arcade. I hadn't checked on it until a member reported it to me, not many issues with the arcade prior to this.

I've tried the previously mentioned Module changes, including downloading the .zip file, as well as a couple of code changes that were mentioned here.

IB Pro Arcade 2.7.3+
PHP
5.6.31
MySQL
5.6.32

[blind-eddie]

What 500 server error?

[Rakehel]

A discussion began, or was ongoing in this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2586601&postcount=7357), fixes and edits were being sorted through. MarkFL had created some updated module files for download. (Did that.)

The error, when launching games:


HTTP 500 error
That’s odd... the website can’t display this page
The site may be under maintenance or could have a programming error.
Try this
Go back to the last page
Try contacting the website’s owner


As mentioned, I wasn't aware of the error until a member reported it. The arcade had been working fine before and after an attempt to upgrade to VB 4.2.5., which wouldn't work. Members had been using it.

I'm trying to determine if I need to get my host to upgrade software or try the v4.2.5 upgrade again. The upgrades and patches have always been successful. I was going to wait for the next VB upgrade.

IB Pro Arcade 2.7.3+
PHP
5.6.31
MySQL
5.6.32

[Mark.B]

500 errors are server errors....you need to find out what the actual error is behind that. Your hosts can help with that.

If you had attempted an upgrade to 4.2.5, make sure you have put back ALL the old files from the previous version. Also, depending on where the upgrade failed, there may be issues with the database now also.

Note that there will not be a "next vB upgrade" for vBulletin 4. Development on vB4 is now at an end, aside from any security patches needed.

[fanfan2017]

thank you

Just upgraded to 4.2.5 and php 7.0 just get blank screen instead of arcade, im guessing there are compat issues?

[gnrx]

Hello.
Recently, I installed this fantastic mod, but I have 3 problems/doubts:

1.-In instructions for installation, indicate this:
edit the Template navbar
search (in vb 4.x)
<li><a href="calendar.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase calendar}</a></li>
In my case, not appears this code in this template.

2.-In my navbar, not appears the link for Arcade.

3.-My forum its in spanish, I view not have this language, but I view the foder with the languages files. How I can create a spanish file?

Sorry for this 3 doybts, and thanks in advanced!

Best regards!

Actually with some tests I put this code in skin:

<td align="center" class="alt1"><a href="arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]do=playfull&amp;gameid={$entry['gid']}">{$ibforums->lang['gamebox_playpopup']}</a>

but when I hover it I see this:
/arcade.php?do=playfull&gameid=does not fetch the id of the game. playfull&gameid=???

Any help?




EDIT
Found how for any concern
From this {$entry['gid']}
To this {$game['gid']}
and fetching works.

[stangger5]

Looks like your using the v3 skin.

You need to edit this file:
arcade/modules/mod_arcade.php

Find two places that has
$this->links['click'] .= "<a href='".$ibforums->base_url."act=Arcade&amp;do=play&amp;gameid=".$gid."'>".$ibforums->lang['play_game'].$gname."</a>";

change them to,
$this->links['click'] .= "<a href='".$ibforums->base_url."act=Arcade&amp;do=play&amp;gameid=".$gid."'>".$gname.$ibforums->lang['play_game']."</a>";

Okay, the period was just the end of the sentence, but it was sloppy on my part...I should have used code blocks like so:

Yes, go through the file "arcade.php" and do a search/replace on

=&

to change them all to

Yes I did that from your previous post and it works.
So if any one has vb.4.2.5 and PHP 7xxx
- With patient do exactly all changes that are included in post #7431 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2591922&postcount=7431) (4 post links) and the post above.
All changes by MarkFL are targeted and makes ibProArcade to work.

I really have tried all the steps above and still get a blank white page.

[BirdOPrey5]

I really have tried all the steps above and still get a blank white page.

Blank white screen means you should check your PHP Error log. Look for a file called error_log in your forum directory. It may vary on different servers.

Actually i got the arcade to load but inside the admincp under the Arcade section, every option i click such as add game gives me this error:


Call to undefined function mysql_connect() on line 41 in /home/mydirectory/public_html/forum/arcade/functions/dbclass.php

Any ideas? :confused:

[MarkFL]

Try editing the file "arcade.php" in your forum's root folder, and look near the top of the file for the global switches and set $MSQLI to 1.

I have attached the files i think that are relevant that i am currently using. If anyone has the chance can you have a quick look. Maybe i have missed something.

The only difference i have from yours files is "dbclass.php" I do not remember making changes to that file.

Here is mine.

If no luck...
go to your plesk panel and press "Logs" see if you have a warning when you get white page. maybe there is a security rule?

[stangger5]

You dont need dbclass.php

Did you edit the admincp/arcade.php file?

Change this:
// ##### DATABASE CONNECTION ############
$sql_driver = FUNCTIONS_PATH . "dbclass.php";

to:
// ##### DATABASE CONNECTION ############
$sql_driver = FUNCTIONS_PATH . "dbclass_mysqli.php";

Thanks that seems to have done the trick. There was actually two parts that needed to be changed from dbclass.php to dbclass_mysqli.php within the arcade.php file.

Hi,
Today, I upgrade my server to php 7.1 (I use vbulletin 4.2.5) and now, I have a blank page or http 500 (with chromium http 500 error with firefox blank page).

But continue with the same problem.
In admincp, I can access to arcade fine, but when I go in my forum to arcade.php I have blank page or http 500 error (chromium http 500 error firefox blank page).

Regards!

Edit: Like in my cPanel I can select the php version, I returned to 5.6.34, now, if access to arcade, appears this 2 error lines:

Update my last post...

After read the last 10 or 15 pages of this thread, I can use arcade thanks at some post of MarkFL.

Indicate that I made:

Restore my full backup of Arcade.

Then, in the file "arcade.php" and do a search/replace on =& to change them all to =.
And change in line 35:
$MYSQLI = 1; // set to 1 to use ibProArcade-mySQLi-driver (may cause problems!)

Then, download the file and replace: arcade/functions/dbclass_mysqli.php (of this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2580441&postcount=7315))

Finally, also, when using mysqli, replace "admincp/arcade.php" with the attached filein this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2580443&postcount=73163).

Ok, now, with vb 4.2.5 and PHP 7.1 works Arcade but...I have the same problem that have BGObssesion (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2587424&postcount=7384)

I read all the post about this, not indicate how solved this, but I have the same problem.

In one post of stannger5 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2587965&postcount=7401) indicate works, for not view how solved this...

Can help about this?

Thanks in advanced!

[stangger5]

Give this a try:

Edit arcade/functions/functions.php

Find:
function load_words($current_lang_array, $area, $lang_type) {

require ROOT_PATH."arcade/lang/".$area.".php";

foreach ($lang as $k => $v)
{
$current_lang_array[$k] = stripslashes($v);
}

unset($lang);

return $current_lang_array;

}

and change it to:
function load_words($current_lang_array, $area, $lang_type) {

require ROOT_PATH."arcade/lang/".$area.".php";

$current_lang_array = array();

foreach ($lang as $k => $v)
{
$current_lang_array[$k] = stripslashes($v);
}

unset($lang);

return $current_lang_array;

}

[BirdOPrey5]

I don't see a particular reason why

SELECT champ_gid AS GID, champ_mid AS MID, champ_name AS name, COUNT(champ_mid) AS total FROM games_champs GROUP BY MID ORDER BY total DESC LIMIT 3


Would fail on MySQL 5.7, I wonder if the table was properly upgraded. Try running that exact command from phpmyadmin and see if it works or if an error message comes back. Check you can browse the table games_champs.

[gnrx]

Hello.
Thank for your reply and help.

I run the exact command from phpmyadmin:
SELECT champ_gid AS GID, champ_mid AS MID, champ_name AS name, COUNT(champ_mid) AS total FROM games_champs GROUP BY MID ORDER BY total DESC LIMIT 3
In phpmyadmin-SQL-Execute queries.
This is the result:

Error
consulta SQL: Documentaci?n

SELECT champ_gid AS GID, champ_mid AS MID, champ_name AS name, COUNT(champ_mid) AS total FROM games_champs GROUP BY MID ORDER BY total DESC LIMIT 3

MySQL ha dicho: Documentaci?n

#1055 - Expression #1 of SELECT list is not in GROUP BY clause and contains nonaggregated column 'MYUSER_MYDB.games_champs.champ_gid' which is not functionally dependent on columns in GROUP BY clause; this is incompatible with sql_mode=only_full_group_by

After this, continue the issue.
And yes, by phpmyadmin, can browse the table games_champs.

Regards!!

[BirdOPrey5]

I don't know what other ramifications it might have but the logical conclusion from that error message is to disable the sql_mode "only_full_group_by."

I know this thread is 498 pages long...thus maybe my questions have already been answered...but sort of a marathon to look thru all 498 pages.;)

Questions:

- Is ibProArcade fully compatible with vBulletin 4.2.5?
- What PHP versions is ibProArcade compatible with?

I know the original post says compatible with PHP4 & PHP5. But didn't know if PHP compatibility went further than that.

Thanks

[MarkFL]

Prior to the latest update of this product, I got it to work with PHP 7.0.x and I know others have been successful in getting it to run as well.

For all I know, the latest update includes support for PHP 7.x but I was never clear about that, and so I opted not to update it.

[stangger5]

I have it working with php 7.1.22 right now, with the edits in this thread.

The newest update was for one possible security-issue.
It doesnt have the edits for php 7.X

[Pocket Aces]

this mod still works on versions in my signature, there are bugs though that need manual edit to fix so Ive decided to uninstall this and install a different arcade mod

[gnrx]

Sorry, today I view that, in 12 Aug 2018 it was updated to 2.7.4+ version, strangger5 indicate this about the update:

"The newest update was for one possible security-issue.

Hello out there,

I prepared ibProArcade v2.7.5+ right now and tested it on vbulletin 4.2.5 with PHP 7.1
This version will also include some other improvements and changes, but before I release it, I want to ensure it is still compatible with older vB-versions 3.x/4.x

Anybody wants to test the preview of v2.7.5+ on his site with PHP5.x and older vBulletin 3/4 ?
Please contact me... thanks :)

[gnrx]

Yes..
Ups...Apart from the editions for php7, I had to make other editions for the style, since I appeared with a "strange" style after an update, thanks to you and MarkFL everything was perfect.
If I must do all the edits / changes again ... before the update, I must collect all the information for the changes I made.

Ok, then I deduce that, the changes / editions for php 7 are no longer necessary in case of updating.
However, before making the update I will make a full backup, not for the editions for php7, but for the others that I had to do for style and others.

I do not have a version lower than 4.2.5, if I had it, I would do the test you mentioned.

What bugs?

[MarkFL]

I downloaded and installed version 2.7.5 on my local dev site (vB 4.2.5/PHP 7.0.x) and it worked without any issues. So, I figured all was good and I installed on live site (vB 4.2.5/PHP 7.0.x), and get the following error:

Call to undefined function mysql_connect() on line 41 in /home/aspiri9/public_html/arcade/functions/dbclass.php
#0 /home/aspiri9/public_html/arcade.php(192): db_driver->connect()
#1 /home/aspiri9/public_html/dbseo.php(474): require('/home/aspiri9/p...')
#2 {main}

Any suggestions?

[stangger5]

Do you have $MYSQLI = 1; at the top of the arcade.php file?

[MarkFL]

Do you have $MYSQLI = 1; at the top of the arcade.php file?

That's the default value in the new version of this file, right? But I checked to make sure, and yes that's what I have.

[stangger5]

Its should be calling: dbclass_mysqli.php

[stangger5]

Give this a try:

Line 157, in the arcade.php main.
// $sql_driver = FUNCTIONS_PATH . "dbclass.php";

[MarkFL]

Its should be calling: dbclass_mysqli.php

I figured out the issue, which was all my fault. I didn't have the database type set as "mysqli" in my config.php file.

All good now, and thanks for helping point me i the right direction. :)

[MrZeropage]

You set vBulletin now to mysqli (config.php) or changed ibProArcade back to mysql?

I think I should read the config.php and use the value from there, to always fit the right database-driver... hmmmm first feature for v2.7.6 :cool:

I was thinking the same thing..

[MrZeropage]

Yes, this will be the first feature of v2.7.6+ :)

Beside that, in the past hours I did a new converter for those coming from DBTech vBArcade and want to migrate to ibProArcade v2.7.5+ and convert their games and scores...

Upgraded the 3.8 site i tested this on for ya earlier this week on 7.0 & 7.1, looks good.

This error is from my admin panel under Arcade menu.

ERROR: Cannot find database <removed>

There is a SQL error.
You can contact the board administrator by clicking here

mySQL query error: SELECT * FROM ahgames_settings

mySQL error:

I tried editing the arcade.php to reflect the new mysqli statement,

$sql_driver = FUNCTIONS_PATH . "dbclass_mysqli.php";


but still does not connect. Am I missing something obvious?

[stangger5]

Did you upload and overwrite admincp/arcade.php and the includes folder files with the new one`s from 2.7.5+?

The best I can tell, that's what you're already doing. It was because I had the config.php file set to "mysql" that the wrong dbclass file was being read. Your product was functioning correctly, it was because I had the wrong value in my config.php file that the problem occurred.

You have the following code in arcade.php:

// support for mysqli by MrZeropage
if ((strtolower($config['Database']['dbtype']) == "mysqli") && ($MYSQLI == 1))
{
$sql_driver = FUNCTIONS_PATH . "dbclass_mysqli.php";
}

That was what led me to check my config.php file, and there I discovered I needed to edit that file to define the db as "mysqli" and once I did everything worked flawlessly.

@hirlas:

Cannot find database <removed>This is strange... looks like it does not find the DB itself ?!

Your TABLE_PREFIX seems to be "ah"
Which database-type you defined in /config.php?

For personal support, provide AdminCP-Account and FTP-Access via PM (!) to me, then I take a look and find the problem :)

[snakes1100]

Just updated a working arcade to the latest version on a 4.2.5 board, this has resulted in the same error as hirlas.

Problem solved :cool:

Was a weird problem, the database-connect was working fine with "localhost" while "localhost:3306" responded "connection refused". No idea why. Fixed by removing the port (setting it to empty).

I will include a setting for this in upcoming v2.7.6+ so that anybody having connection problems can easily switch the behaviour of the database-driver... :)


@snakes1100:
Enjoy ibProArcade :cool: :up:


@hirlas:
Please also try this:

open /arcade.php

search for
require $sql_driver;
$DB = new db_driver;
ABOVE that, add:
// fix for mysqli-connection-problems (by MrZeropage)
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = "";
$port = "";

[snakes1100]

admincp/arcade.php

Add on line 46:
// local fix for mysqli-connection-problems (by MrZeropage)
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = "";
$port = "";

Thanks for the fix MrZ!

[snakes1100]

I dont know how i missed is previously when i compared servers, but the server in question had the following in my.cnf:

skip-networking

If i recall thats a default setting from mysql 5.x.x, so now it accepts remote tcp/ip connections as it should, this server is pretty old & has since been upgraded many times & now users mariadb.

I removed the fixes & tested, all working fine now, but id agree with your email MrZ, id leave the fix in there for 2.7.6

[MrZeropage]

so now it accepts remote tcp/ip connections as it shouldYou should never allow remote connections to the database, as long you don't have a dedicated database-server separated from your webserver... perspective of security nobody external should have the option to connect directly to the database.

Hope you find the problem in your server-settings so I learn about such problem and to help other users in the future :)

[snakes1100]

I agree, im just letting you know what i found, with skip-networking disabled, your coding for a db connection works, with it enabled, your db connection attempts fail.

I verified this issue on 2 other servers that dont run whm/cpanel, same issue, the arcade breaks with skip-networking enabled.

[MrZeropage]

Which mySQL-versions are you using that cause the problem?

[snakes1100]

mariadb 10.2, on all 3 servers i tested with.

Tested another whm/cpanel server with the original test forum for 3.8 that we did before you released 2.7.5, same issue on it with the way you're calling the db connection, also running maraidb 10.2

It could likely be ported, if MrZeropage wanted to do so.

[MrZeropage]

As far as I know, vB5 is not providing such deep integrated Plugin/Hook-System, to be more secure and less adaptable. Right now I don't have vB5, so maybe anyone could tell me details about that (PN please).
