Category in game information

[Stanthrax]

Is there any way to add the category to the game info? I've created the spot but haven't figured out the code to pull the information yet.

Try this: In arcade.php search for "//get games", right under that is:

//get games
$DB->query("select g.*, c.password from ibf_games_list as g
left join ibf_games_cats as c on (g.gcat = c.c_id)
where g.active = 1 ".$show_all.$search.$catselect."
order by ".$this->arcade->settings['g_display_sort']." ".$this->arcade->settings['g_display_order']." ".$query_limit);
while( $this_game = $DB->fetch_row() )
{
$games[] = array( 'gid' => $this_game['gid'],
'gwidth' => $this_game['gwidth'],
'gheight' => $this_game['gheight'],


change to (parts in red added, don't miss the comma after 'password'):

//get games
$DB->query("select g.*, c.password, c.cat_name from ibf_games_list as g
left join ibf_games_cats as c on (g.gcat = c.c_id)
where g.active = 1 ".$show_all.$search.$catselect."
order by ".$this->arcade->settings['g_display_sort']." ".$this->arcade->settings['g_display_order']." ".$query_limit);
while( $this_game = $DB->fetch_row() )
{
$games[] = array( 'gid' => $this_game['gid'],
'cat_name' => $this_game['cat_name'],
'gwidth' => $this_game['gwidth'],
'gheight' => $this_game['gheight'],



This should fill in $entry['cat_name'].

included this in next ibProArcade v2.7.0+ as it is a good idea ...

[tigrattack]

This is a great feature...thanks :)

The category doesn't show when viewing favorites, any ideas on getting it to crossover?

Thanks

Just seen this thread and MrZeropage post he said it was added in ibProArcade v2.7.0+

I see the code used in the arcade.php but It does not display..

what am I missing
I never new it was added so till now
thanks

[MrZeropage]

the code is prepared to push category-information to the skin/layout, but if you want to use it, you need to add it to the skin

/arcade/skins/skin_Arcade.php

search for<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend><b>{$ibforums->lang['gamebox_persbest']}</b></legend>
<center><span class="smallfont">
{$ibforums->lang['your_high']}<b>{$pbest}</b>{$ibforums->lang['gamebox_persbest_p']}</span></center>
</fieldset>
after this add<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend><b>{$ibforums->lang['acp_gamesort_cat']}</b></legend>
<center><span class="smallfont">
{$entry['cat_name']}</span></center>
</fieldset>

I got it to work on the Favorites page by editing the arcade/modules/mod_arcade.php
