How to fix "Security Token" Error for vBulletin 4.x.x

[MikalMirkas]

Now PLEASE, stop making threads about it. :)
This is how to fix it:
Go to your forum's directory, and find the index.php file. Right after the <?php, add this:
// ibProArcade
if($_POST['module'] == "pnFlashGames")
{
require_once('./global.php');

switch($_POST['func'])
{
case "storeScore":
$_GET['act'] = "Arcade";
$_GET['module'] = "arcade";
$_GET['do'] = "pnFStoreScore";
break;

case "saveGame":
$_GET['do'] = "pnFSaveGame";
break;

case "loadGame":
$_GET['do'] = "pnFLoadGame";
break;

case "loadGameScores":
$gid = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'gid', TYPE_INT);
$uid= $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
$game = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games_scores WHERE mid=$uid AND gid = $gid ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 0,1");
$scores = $game[score];

if($scores != false)
{
//Return true
print "&opSuccess=true&gameScores=$scores&endvar=1"; //send endvar to keep opSuccess separate from all other output from PostNuke
}
else
{
print "&opSuccess=false&error=Error&endvar=1";
}
break;
}
}

$act = $_GET[act];
$autocom = $_GET[autocom];
$showuser= $_GET[showuser];
if($act == "Arcade" || $autocom=="arcade") {
include "arcade.php";
exit();
}
if(!empty($showuser) && $showuser >= 1) {
$u = $showuser;
$_GET[u] = $showuser;
include "member.php";
exit();
}

// end of ibProArcade

Edit (LOL, this thread got replies? >_>):
Thanks

By the way.. you cant really blame a ton of people asking how to fix this..its not like its our responsibility..its the developers..not ours ..
README.txt is there for a reason. I have saw a LOT of these threads pushing out the actual issues on hand. kthx

[CrosseyedGamer]

I had this before the upgrade to the gold release. It worked well. Did the upgrade which included moving my forums to the root folder. I do not have a /forum directory anymore.

When I input the above into my index file I get nothing but errors in my header.

I have posted them elsewhere a few times.
Is there something that needs to change due to moving the forums to the route?

I appreciate anyone's help as our arcade has over 1100 games and our users love it.

Thanks.

[CrosseyedGamer]

Still no response on this. Would love to get my homepage cleaned up of this extra text. Anyone?

[Magz]

In the arcade cp, under information, what does it say there?

( I too recently moved my site to root )

This is not fixed.

If you go to my domain - crosseyedgamer.com you will see the notice text at the top of the page. that is not there if you proceed to the arcade page or other pages of the site.

So far , no answers on this.

Do you have this issue with it being in the root?

[Magz]

No problems at all here.

I use vbseo, and had a few problems with that, but no issues once i put in the "exclude" section, and ammended my index file.

[sKippah]

Works with this changes, but there is still one thing. I played Asteroids for the 1. time and after klicking "OK" it says, ingame "Could not access Game Table" but it saves the Score

Same issue here with 4.02 CMS version

I see it goes to http://127.0.0.1/?act=Arcade&do=newscore

I have this exact result myself. Any suggestions on what to do to fix this?

I am not using VBAdvanced or any other front end. The index is the original from the install so I am not understanding why I am getting this error unless it has to just be a version 4.0 issue. Also my site is total fresh install. I have run this arcade on two other forums so I know how it works and have not had a problem in the 3.x versions. Only this in 4.

The errors above appear in the root of the site, and when you finish a game and submit the score. I do get the score recorded as it should, only when this code is added to the index.php file, it just shows this text.

Thanks for any suggestions.

[c.c.]

My forum is:

highdefjunkies.com/forum.php

So do I add this in my forum.php?

I'm so confused? Please give me a hand. Thanks!!!

I added this in my forum.php and it still gives me a security token error.

When I add this to my index.php it gives me this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DEC, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/highdefj/public_html/index.php on line 58

Any ideas? I really want to get this arcade going because my members love it.

Thanks for any help you can give me!!!!

[Digital Jedi]

The instructions very clearly say to make the edits to your forum's /index.php.

Make sure you didn't change, removed or failed to include even a single character in the PHP file.

And I clearly said that if I change the index.php I get this error when it trys to save the highscore.

A syntax error means the characters are out of place. You can't forget to include a single comma, nor can you include any unnecessary spaces.

And not to be argumentative, but I did a copy and paste of the code straight out of the instructions "INFO - vbadvanced or another Portal.txt" file included in the download. It is a very simple thing, just copy and paste it in right below the <?php in the index.php so I am surprised this didn't work first try.

This is a brand new install that is very clean. This hack was the first one I tried to add to my forums since it was one of the favorites on the 3.x sites. I have done nothing else but get vBulletin 4.0 operational, then add ibProArcade. The games run, but as instructed, if you don't add this patch from the portal.txt file the scores will not save. But adding the code puts the nonsense at the top of my index.php landing page.

I don't get the parsing error that c.c. is getting, I am getting the "Undefined index" errors only that CrosseyedGamer is getting.

Thanks for the suggestions.

[microlight]

Worked for me thanks.

[Baf_Jams]

Thanks had to redo this due to upgrade and index was overwritten :)
works a treat

[TriAxis]

I don't get the parsing error that c.c. is getting, I am getting the "Undefined index" errors only that CrosseyedGamer is getting.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Any one having this "Undefined index:" error?

Still getting the same error after replacing this code multiple times and even replacing the index.php again.

Anyone else?

also.... this error only appears when you load the site from the root. www.domain.com/ Once you get to the site and go to the forum or blog or anything you do not see the error.....until you finish an arcade game.... then it shows up on that page also.

[rollerman]

OK...what am I doing wrong?

Here's my index.php, which is in my root (httpdocs):

<?php
// ibProArcade
if($_POST['module'] == "pnFlashGames")
{
require_once('./global.php');

switch($_POST['func'])
{
case "storeScore":
$_GET['act'] = "Arcade";
$_GET['module'] = "arcade";
$_GET['do'] = "pnFStoreScore";
break;

case "saveGame":
$_GET['do'] = "pnFSaveGame";
break;

case "loadGame":
$_GET['do'] = "pnFLoadGame";
break;

case "loadGameScores":
$gid = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'gid', TYPE_INT);
$uid= $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
$game = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games_scores WHERE mid=$uid AND gid = $gid ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 0,1");
$scores = $game[score];

if($scores != false)
{
//Return true
print "&opSuccess=true&gameScores=$scores&endvar=1"; //send endvar to keep opSuccess separate from all other output from PostNuke
}
else
{
print "&opSuccess=false&error=Error&endvar=1";
}
break;
}
}

$act = $_GET[act];
$autocom = $_GET[autocom];
$showuser= $_GET[showuser];
if($act == "Arcade" || $autocom=="arcade") {
include "arcade.php";
exit();
}
if(!empty($showuser) && $showuser >= 1) {
$u = $showuser;
$_GET[u] = $showuser;
include "member.php";
exit();
}

// end of ibProArcade


** File edited, removed default vBulletin code ***


This worked before I put in PL4 a couple of weeks ago. Is it possible that patch is causing this?

[Texas_Dawg]

And I clearly said that if I change the index.php I get this error when it trys to save the highscore.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DEC, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/highdefj/public_html/index.php on line 58

Did you figure this one out?

I have the same problem.

[TriAxis]

Good luck...

I posted the same basic issue 3 weeks ago and no one has had any suggestions or response.

[rollerman]

Ten days and no response.

I think it's time that this mod is declared unsupported.

A shame, because it's a good one, but clearly the developers (and everyone else) have abandoned it.

[TriAxis]

Ok here is the latest breakthrough having to just guess at things and try things pieced from other posts.

The ONLY way I could get the text to stop appearing at the top of the front page of my site was to finally add all of the code for the index.php file to the END of the file and not the top. That made the text go away at the top of the page, but the security token error returned.

I then went to the lines just above where I added all the code and changed the CMS default script form content.php to forum.php. Now this is still unacceptable because I want the content.php to be the default and not the forums.php. But the system now works with no errors. It saves my games and no text at the front page or score submit page. So does that mean the problem is in one of the content.php files? Or in the index.php code and how it interacts with the content.php?

I have tried many different changes with no luck. I have tried putting the code in the context.php file in both the root and the vb folders. I have tried to comment out certain lines of code with no luck.

So for now if I want this to work with no errors I have to leave the default page to be the forums front page. I'd rather not. So it will stay broken for now.

[MrZeropage]

this is not unsupported, while v2.7.1+ is to be finished I am trying hard to fix things that came up with vB4 and using its own index.php to direct to portal or forum.
There is no hook in index.php or any other place where right from the start I can implement the needed code, very bad.
I think I need to contact Jelsoft and request a hook there.

I am still irritated that this error does NOT appear on my testsite ...

Maybe anybody let me check this "on site" ? Please contact me via PM and refer to this thread, thanks

[Carnage]

I put this in index.php

if($_GET['act'] == 'Arcade')
{
require('forum.php');
}


Thou a hook in index.php would be good in general.

As for your test site; have you tried setting the default page to be the cms not the forum?

[tlwwolfseye]

From what I can see Arcade is still very buggy with vB4 so its maybe better to wait installing this, right ? :confused:

[TriAxis]

I put this in index.php

if($_GET['act'] == 'Arcade')
{
require('forum.php');
}

I tried this suggestion tonight and it did not fix my issues. Either text across the top of the site, or the token error.

[Filgga]

This does not work at all!

[BF777]

Same issue here with 4.02 CMS version

I see it goes to http://127.0.0.1/?act=Arcade&do=newscore
I'm having the same issue now. Did you ever get it fixed? If so, how?

[fogjuice]

I still have token error as well :\ I hope this gets sorted out soon.

Did you just upgrade to 4.03 as well?

[owning_y0u]

i have the security token issue aswel running VB 4.0.3, also added the instruction to the index, solved part of my problems but first one game generated this issue now i have 2 games generating the same error. i think soon other games will do the same..

is there any solution for this.. Yes already applied the security token thing to the index.php

Prior to upgrading the Security Token Issue was solved by adding the additional code to the index.php file. However, now that I'm running VB 4.03, the code doesn't work. All of my arcade games are generating the Security Token Issue after trying to record the score.

It seems like a simple fix, but I haven't been able to find a solution anywhere. The rest of the arcade functions properly though.

This is the page it redirects me to after playing a game.

Is that the page where it should be directing to?

Yes I'm using v4.0.3, I really hope this gets fixed soon. Such a great mod, I would hate to see it go to waste.

[MrZeropage]

will upgrade testsite to 4.0.3 and release ibProArcade 2.7.1+ containing the fix then a.s.a.p.

only issue is with saving css to file can't be used or there is no arcade style.

[Webrunner]

I tried the code suggested in this topic and all it gives me is a blank page....
Is there any solution available for this?
(btw: i am using vb cms 4.1.1, not vba cmps)

[Hippy]

vb has 2 file a forum.php and a index.php
make sure you add the code to the root index..
and it must be under <?php

[Webrunner]

I did that and it still wasn't working.
But somehow i fixed it, i really don't know how LOL

[beatyourtruck]

Thank you...this worked for 4.1.2.

Be sure to put the code in the index.php file in the forum folder! 8)

[MaestroTPG]

I also was having the security token and no saved scores under VB 4.1.3. After adding the code it fixed it right up and works flawlessly now!

I put the code between the opening <php?> and the comments. Some folks may mistake code for comments and placing the arcade code in the index code not before it..:confused::D..

[DaVitsche]

thanks, this was what I was looking for!
