View Full Version : Mini Mods - Daily Game - Posts a new flash game to your vBulletin every day


DailyGame
01-11-2010, 10:00 PM
Daily Game posts a new flash game to your vBulletin once per day in a new thread. Daily Game will help your vBulletin by:

Starting up conversations on slow days
Increasing retention since users are playing on your forum
Help you get links and improve SEO (flash games get a lot of links!)
Make you money! Use your own ad code to display an ad while the flash game is loading. These pre-roll ads get very high eCPM!


Install time: 5 minutes
Installation difficulty: Easy
Demo: http://www.playedonline.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40

Updated to version 1.5 : No manual template modifications and title and content customization

Updated to version 2.1 : simple_xml support is no longer required, enabled bbcodes on the game thread, support for switched off boards.

Installation instructions


Upload add_daily_game.php to the vBulletin root directory
Import the product XML file (Plugins & Products -> Manage Products - > [Add/Import Product])
Configure the Daily Game settings under vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> Daily Game:

Set ?Enabled? to Yes
Visit www.playedonline.com/register_vbulletin (http://www.playedonline.com/register_vbulletin) to register (input your forum's url and your email) and get a shared key for authentication.
Configure which userid will post the daily games (input 0 for guest)
Choose a forum for Daily Game
Customise the title (useful for non-English forums) or leave blank for default
Enable or disable description and instructions
Paste ad code (e.g. AdSense) to show a pre-roll ad before the game starts (optional, leave empty to show no ads)
Click the Test link you got in the registration e-mail to post a test daily game (you can delete the test post after you verify that it works)
You're done! A daily game will be posted on your forum every day at 3am EST.


Optional : if you switch off your vBulletin from time to time you can make sure the games are posted even if the board is off by making those small changes:

Add the following code to /includes/functions.php
function endswith($string, $test) {
$strlen = strlen($string);
$testlen = strlen($test);
if ($testlen > $strlen) return false;
return substr_compare($string, $test, -$testlen) === 0;
}
In global.php find the line
if (!$vbulletin->options['bbactive'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'login')
and replace with
if (!$vbulletin->options['bbactive'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'login' AND !endswith($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"], '/add_daily_game.php'))

Looks very good.

However one question, where do all those ads come from? Can I put my own ads or are they coming from the actual sponsor of the game?

Yes, soon.

Looks very good.

In the demo link the first ad that you see before the game loads is up to you to configure. You can put a 300x250 ad code there or you can leave it blank and the game will load straight away with no delay.

The second ad that you see is part of the game itself. Some flash game developers put ads in their games to make money - that's just the price of free content. Both ads together run about 30 seconds and the game loads in the background while they display so normally they don't add any actual wait time for the user.

i have it installed but haven't gotten a daily game yet, which is my fault. I registered on your site but forgot to put "/forums"at the end of my link, so the daily game will not appear.

should I re-register or can you edit that yourself (on your site)?

Where exactly am i supposed to place the above code?

I found this
<!-- message -->
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
$ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_start]
$post[message]
</div>
<!-- / message -->

But im not sure what im supposed to replace with this
<if condition="$thread[forumid] == $vboptions[daily_game_forum] AND $post[userid] == $vboptions[daily_game_poster]">
$post[pagetext]
<else />
$post[message]
</if>

Does this go after something or do i actually replace something?

DailyGame
01-13-2010, 04:33 PM
Replace:

$post[message]

With:

<if condition="$thread[forumid] == $vboptions[daily_game_forum] AND $post[userid] == $vboptions[daily_game_poster]">
$post[pagetext]
<else />
$post[message]
</if>

That means that your postbit template was not edited correctly. Did you replace $post[message] with <if condition="$thread[forumid] == $vboptions[daily_game_forum] AND $post[userid] == $vboptions[daily_game_poster]">
$post[pagetext]
<else />
$post[message]

What he means is that your vBulletin might be configured to use the postbit legacy template in which case you should edit the postpit_legacy template the same way you edited the postbit template.

Hi all

We have updated the mod - now it has more customization options and doesn't require manual template edits.

If you wish to upgrade to the new version you should download the attached files, replace add_daily_game.php and import the product xml file (after removing the previous version). Make sure you have the shared key before the update.

If you still need help post a reply here or send a PM - we will gladly assist

ok i installed this and so far its working but i'm noticing one issue. when i reply to the thread that it auto-creates, if i use any smilies in the reply, they disappear after you submit your reply and are replaced by there short form i.e. ::surprised::

i tested this in other forums and created new threads (without the game) and it seems to only be happening in that specific thread that was auto-created. it also happened in the test game thread that was created from the link that was sent in my email from your site. can the author and others confirm this is the case? or is it just my board

i am on 3.8.4 PL2

EDIT: sorry i need to add one more thing. i decided to create a new thread in the forum i chose to have the auto-created threads be placed in. just a basic thread, with no game in it. well the smilies did not work in that thread too.

Hey,
Since the problem is not caused by our code I can't really help. I suppose the problem is caused by another plugin that is either badly installed or has compatibilities issues.

You can disable one plugin at a time and try to post a daily game using the link you got in the mail.

Good luck... :)

We're thinking of adding a feature that will allow you to pick which categories of games you would like to receive (puzzle, strategy, etc...)

Would be great to get some feedback about this or ideas for other features from current and potential users.

Cheers,

Itchy Nips
07-28-2010, 02:17 PM
if you do that, then it would be nice for admins to be able to have separate forum categories for each game type. So someone could have a "puzzle forum" and a separate "strategy forum" and the the daily game gets posted automatically into the specified forum. This would make it easier for the forum's users to find games they like a bit quicker.

just an idea

DailyGame
07-29-2010, 07:53 AM
Thanks for your suggestion!
I think this would make things a bit complicated to manage (creating several forums & configuring them), and then having to deal with uncategorized games ("Other")

Do you think enabling posting the category as part of the title is valuable?
We could also let the admin customize the title's template with the category (similar to what we have today with the game's name and date)

This would create titles like "Daily game 29 Jul - Bloons [Arcade]" or
"A new Arcade game - Bloons" etc.
How does that sound?

I must have done something wrong...my test didn't work... I got this error message:

Exception : undefined method `string' for #

When I registered, it asked for the link to the forum which I assumed meant to the forum I wanted the games posted in, so I gave it that link which is:
http://www.fresh-hope.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=86

Other then that, I've uploaded everything to where it belongs and configured everything so I'm not sure what could have gone wrong...

Oh, I didn't put in an Adsense Code as I don't have one yet and am not sure I want ads on the board...that didn't appear to be mandatory though... I really don't know anything about adsense so I'm a little concerned about signing up for it... If you have to have it for this, will they only put ads in that one forum or will they put them everywhere?

Can someone help me? Thanks

Do the games all have associated thumbnail images, by any chance? The reason I ask, is because I have a few features on the site that pull images from a thread. If they do have associated images, I was wondering if you could included them in a hidden DIV inside the post. They would not be visible when viewing the post, but scripts that look for images would include them when generating thumbnails.

I do the same for RSS feeds from YouTube. I put the extra info YouTube supplies, which includes a thumbnail from the video. When it posts, you don't see the extra info, but things like my articles forum or my Wibiya Bar's recent posts display the image as a thumb.

Neat idea. Making a note to check it out later.

Been using it about 3 months now, works great IMO.

My games are a little oversized in my threads. How To small them so they can fit nice?

Is there any way for the board to track scores? This would add competition between users, which usually means the users stay longer in the forum and access it oftener.

It's been 3 days since I installed the mode and I haven't received any games yet. How can I test if the installation is correct?

I had this plugin disabled for a few months, but i just re-enabled it and the game it posted shows HTML source instead of the game. Why's it doing this?

Make sure you haven't manually disabled any of the mod's plugins from Plugin Manager.

For some reason I'm not getting any new games and can't figure out why...I did move the forum from one section of the board to another, but it's still the same forum so I wouldn't think that would change anything... I've checked all the settings and everything appears to be right.. The only thing I can think of other then that is that I did change my email address awhile ago; do I need to update that somewhere? Just grasping at straws as I don't know what could be causing this...

All I can think of is make sure the poster userid has permission to post in the new forum.

02-05-2012, 08:29 PM
It's not a new forum, I just changed which section of the board I had the forum in. For example, if it was this board, it might have been moved from the styles section to the mods section...

Either way, can you try posting as the user you have it set to to make sure it works?

Did you do this?
Click the Test link you got in the registration e-mail to post a test daily game (you can delete the test post after you verify that it works)

If so what happened?

1 error I found yesterday was the poster's id was 0 instead of 1.

I did not click the test link

Nope. I've tried everything. I've sent them several emails and get no reply at all from them. I'm given up, as I don't know what else to do, since I've already done everything possible that I can think of. When did yours quit working? I keep hoping they'll post here, but it's starting to look like they've dropped the ball and have no intention of picking it up again.

Mine stopped working February 4th, 2012- that was the last day I got a game.

Cindyl10
07-23-2012, 04:58 PM
Mine stopped in January as I recall, but that's probably because I changed the forum I was putting it in. Well, at least I know I only lost about a months worth of games and that it would have stopped working in another month anyway. Thanks for letting me know!

I am here to report that this mod is working. Gave it a test run and have had no issues. Here is today's game as a matter of fact.
http://www.rap-royalty.com/forum/talk/186191-daily-game-dec-31-experiment-17-a.html

I would say just double check everything.

01-02-2013, 07:21 PM
Great! Maybe they've decided to fix it then. OK, I just registered for another shared key, will update my settings and see what happens. I sure hope it starts working for me again too.....I'll let you know.... (have already double, and triple checked everything else, so know everything's ok)

Cindyl10
01-02-2013, 07:27 PM
Not sure.... I entered the shared key, went to the url to check it and at first I thought it might have worked but then saw this error:
Exception : undefined method `string' for #

not sure what that means or what to do about it.... does anyone else know?

Cindyl10
01-03-2013, 08:17 PM
Nope. Not working. But when I went back on this thread and read it again, I remembered that the same thing happened when I first got this and I posted it here. Exact same post I posted yesterday. But as I recall, they answered the email I replied to telling them of the problem and it was something on their end. They fixed it and the next morning I had a new game. So, I'll try replying to the email with the key in it again and see if I get an answer this time. The last dozen times I haven't.

I must have done something wrong...my test didn't work... I got this error message:

Exception : undefined method `string' for #

When I registered, it asked for the link to the forum which I assumed meant to the forum I wanted the games posted in, so I gave it that link which is:
http://www.fresh-hope.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=86

Other then that, I've uploaded everything to where it belongs and configured everything so I'm not sure what could have gone wrong...

Oh, I didn't put in an Adsense Code as I don't have one yet and am not sure I want ads on the board...that didn't appear to be mandatory though... I really don't know anything about adsense so I'm a little concerned about signing up for it... If you have to have it for this, will they only put ads in that one forum or will they put them everywhere?

Can someone help me? Thanks

Have you tried disabling other mods and seeing if this works without them on?

Nice clean site by the way.

Cindyl10
02-01-2013, 08:41 AM
Thank you! Yes, I looked and although nothing had been added since I added this mod, I went ahead and disabled a bunch of them just to see if that would make a difference, but it didn't, so I re-enabled them again. If I recall correctly from when I first got this mod, it is something simple that they have to do on their end as the same thing happened then as has this time. Only difference is that no one ever replies to the email now when I tell them about the problem.

If you notice, their forum is flooded with thousands of pages of automated spam posts. That means they haven't been on their forum in quite some time. I'm actually hoping it's just negligence, and not that anything happened to the developer. Always concerns me when all web presence abruptly ceases like that.

Cindyl10
02-01-2013, 07:59 PM
true, I certainly hope nothing's happened to them. I sure wish there was someone that could take it over for them though if they can't be there. Oh well, what will be, will be, I suppose...
