postbit drop down for V3Arcade awards

[350Chevy]

I got sick of looking at that horrid arcarde awards list of icons in showthread.php and used to have something simular to this in v3.0.x but I could not find one for v3.5.x so here is a simple one. If you want to change it or add to it go right ahead. I will try to support as much as possible but I've been extremely busy and these edits shouldn't be that hard to do! :p

* Tested and works for V3Arcade.

This may work for postbit as well as postbit_legacy but I would not know as I don't use that template and haven't tested it on it. Sorry.

replace all the contents in arcade_award_bit with:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="arcade.php?do=play&gameid=$award[gameid]"><img src="$vboptions[arcadeimages]/$award[miniimage]" align="absmiddle" border=0> <span class="smallfont">$award[title] Champion!</span></a></tr></td>

in postbit_legacy scroll all the way down and find:


<!-- v3 Arcade -->
<if condition="$post['arcadeawards']">
<tr><td class="thead"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_arcade_awards]</phrase></a></td></tr>
$post[arcadeawards]
</if>
<if condition="($post['arcadeoptions'] & 1) AND $post['userid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid']">
<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[arcade]</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="arcade.php?do=newchallenge&userid=$post[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[challenge_x_in_the_arcade]</phrase></td></tr></if>
<!-- /v3 Arcade -->

And DELETE it!

Again in postbit_legacy find:

<div>
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>

And BELOW that ADD:

<!-- v3 Arcade -->
<div>
<div id="postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]">
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]", true); </script>
Arcade Awards
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="thead">$post[username]'s Awards</td>
</tr>
<if condition="$post[arcadeawards]!=''">
$post[arcadeawards]
<else />
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
$post[username] has no awards.</td>
</tr>
</if>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /v3 Arcade -->

I've attached images of the outcome.. Not a great profile, but 150% better than what the v3Arcade install gives you.

[mholtum]

which arcade or does it work with both of them?

[Kihon Kata]

How many queries did it add?

Sorry I forgot to specify. This is for V3Arcade.

How many queries did it add?

Shouldn't add any extra queries. It just sorts the games in a drop down instead of across the bottom of the screen.

[Dark_D]

I put it in......nice, thanks. Any idea on how to add the hand when hovering over the link?

Instead of adding the "Arcade Awards" link, is there a way to add this to the menu that pops up when you click on the trophy?

Find the code for the image and replace it with something like this:

<!-- v3 Arcade -->
<div>
<div id="postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]">
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]", true); </script>
<img src="$vboptions[arcadeimages]/trophy.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="Arcade Awards" border="0" /a>
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="thead">$post[username]'s Awards</td>
</tr>
<if condition="$post[arcadeawards]!=''">
$post[arcadeawards]
<else />
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
$post[username] has no awards.</td>
</tr>
</if>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /v3 Arcade -->

That is not tested however so let me know how it goes.

[XtremeOffroad]

Very Nice, Clicks install

[GamerJunk.net]

Whoever said this works for ibproarcade is wrong

[Brandon Sheley]

i had installed this b4, at least i thought so..

but in one of the upgrades i had forgotten to redo this mod, and anyways I've had this on my footer

Uncached templates: arcade_award_bit (166

so i figured if i re-edited this it would go away..
but it's there still,, is this something that might take some time to disappear ?

and.. is there someway under Arcade Awards, we can add the total number of awards ? then the icon addition that u posted a few post up ?

thank you

Sweet, I had this in 3.0.7 too, it's really nice for those arcade guru's with tons of awards.

It DOES work for post-bit also, that's what my forums have. ;)

[Brandon Sheley]

this seemed to slow my thread pages down a lot,, had to disable it :(

[Strat]

Hmmmm,... works, but "Arcade Awards" isn't underlined. Ideas?

[Freak0204]

Hmmmm,... works, but "Arcade Awards" isn't underlined. Ideas?

Same here. It shows up on the postbit but doesn't do what it's supposed to.

[creedmaniac]

it's showing the arcade awards for me as well..no link for it though...and you can still see all the games in the list as well...

[Funkie]

works a treat but is there a way to make it look like a drop down list because it dosn't even look like a link so members are going to miss it

Could it be like the My System drop in in the attatchment

thx

[creedmaniac]

is anyone else using the postbit template having issues with this?

[Funkie]

I want it to look the same as the my spec drop down someone must be able to change the code to make it look like my attatchment above

has this coder given up support

[Funkie]

plz plz :)

[350Chevy]

has this coder given up support

Yes, sorry.

I got tired of people posting hacks after only changing a few lines of code that weren't their hacks to release; other people creating great hacks and not posting them just to use on their site alone; among other things that I don't really feel like mentioning.

As far as making it look the way you want it to look, I will try to squeeze some time in to get it working for you. Sorry again.

[Funkie]

Hey thanks very much if you do get round to it would be most appreciated:)

[350Chevy]

To have the Arcade Awards have an underline try using this code


<!-- v3 Arcade -->
<div>
<div id="postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]">
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]", true); </script>
<u>Arcade Awards</u>
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="thead">$post[username]'s Awards</td>
</tr>
<if condition="$post[arcadeawards]!=''">
$post[arcadeawards]
<else />
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
$post[username] has no awards.</td>
</tr>
</if>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /v3 Arcade -->


INSTEAD of


<!-- v3 Arcade -->
<div>
<div id="postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]">
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]", true); </script>
Arcade Awards
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="thead">$post[username]'s Awards</td>
</tr>
<if condition="$post[arcadeawards]!=''">
$post[arcadeawards]
<else />
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
$post[username] has no awards.</td>
</tr>
</if>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /v3 Arcade -->

[350Chevy]

Also, I moved the trophy so it's placed next to the words Arcade Awards..

to do that find this in postbit_legacy:

<img src="$vboptions[arcadeimages]/trophy.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="Arcade Awards" border="0" /a>

and delete it...

and use this code in postbit_legacy


<!-- v3 Arcade -->
<div>
<div id="postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]">
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]", true); </script>
<u>Arcade Awards</u> <img src="$vboptions[arcadeimages]/trophy.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="Arcade Awards" border="0" /a>
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="thead">$post[username]'s Awards</td>
</tr>
<if condition="$post[arcadeawards]!=''">
$post[arcadeawards]
<else />
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
$post[username] has no awards.</td>
</tr>
</if>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /v3 Arcade -->


INSTEAD of the original I have placed in the install notes..

which is:

<!-- v3 Arcade -->
<div>
<div id="postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]">
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]", true); </script>
Arcade Awards
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_arcade_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="thead">$post[username]'s Awards</td>
</tr>
<if condition="$post[arcadeawards]!=''">
$post[arcadeawards]
<else />
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
$post[username] has no awards.</td>
</tr>
</if>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /v3 Arcade -->
