Daily Game - Free games for your forum

[DailyGame]

Daily Game posts a new flash game to your vBulletin once per day in a new thread. Daily Game will help your forum 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 2.1 : simple_xml support is no longer required, enabled bbcodes on the game thread

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:

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

Paste ad code (e.g. AdSense) to show a pre-roll ad before the game starts (optional, leave empty to show no ads)

You're done! A daily game will be posted on your forum every day at 3am EST.

It looks interesting but is it reliable as im not sure about it posting into forums like that

[Robru]

Thanks for sharing this ! :)

[DailyGame]

Each forum gets a secret key that makes sure only the Daily Game service can post new games, so it's pretty safe

[KURTZ]

thanks 4 sharing! :)

[Kolbi]

Perhaps I?ll give it a try :)

The backlink can?t be removed with donating?

[messengermatt]

I entered all me details into the registration and it didnt work, do you need to have installed the files before you register?

It keeps saying fill in the boxes :s

[steve1966]

thanks

[messengermatt]

Keeps telling me to check the box, well there is no box to check before i press the sign up button S:

[bransworld]

I have downloaded and installed this game but the daily game is not showing up on my forum. I put the secret code in, and i clicked the link in the email to have the test game show up on my forum and that game is not there.

Any suggestions?

Are you a part of yougame.com?

You want us to put this mod on our site that is going to load a ad before the game starts.

So we have to display a ad, a copyright to your site and the game comes from yougame.com

I can just post the games from yougame.com on my site if I like. I started to like this mod but I do not run ads on my site my self I will not let some mod run ads on my site.

:( I can deal with the copyright but not the advertisement. This is the third modification for vB 4.0 that has had a advertisement or affiliate program hidden in the code.

[TimberFloorAu]

Must agree with you there George.
We do not run advertising on our site, and this mod "appears" to be serving 3rd party scripts/advertising. Yet doesnt acknowledge it uses external content.

Shame

[DailyGame]

Let me clear a few of the copyright/advertising issues raised:

1. The ad which appears before the game loads is not ours and is completely optional. It's simply a feature that let's you display your own ads (adsense or other) while the game is loading. If you don't wish to display ads simply don't input any ad code and no ads will be displayed.

2. The games we are distributing via the service are all freeware or games that we have licensed for this purpose. Freeware games typically contain credits and sponsor messages which is how their developers make money.

For those who are having issues with the installation, we'll be troubleshooting them with you individually shortly.

[carubmun]

This would be much nicer if we could integrate it with our own score keeping tools found in either of the other two arcade scripts for vb.

I can vouch for this in a way.
I know that mochi games display a mochi ad as thats their business model.
All of their games do that and its the price you pay for using their games.
This mod allows YOU the forum admin to add in ADDITIONAL ads of your own choosing in order to make yourself some extra revenue.

Which hmmm.... i see the angle here now.
Its pretty ingenious of the creator of this mod.
I wont spoil it just yet.

Question... do you just use mochi games, or do you use games from other providers?

[Zaiaku]

Looks pretty interesting. Could have definitely use this some time ago not sure about now but will test it out.

[blake247]

Keeps telling me to check the box, well there is no box to check before i press the sign up button S:

Same.

[Koroku]

Switch to a different browser - I saw no box in Chrome, but did in IE.

[DailyGame]

Thanks for the remark, we'll fix it shortly

[MichelangeloITA]

How to link more than 1 game per day? Maybe with a different prefix? :)

[APD Shinjo]

Didn't receive my key. Been about 30 minutes. Do I need to have the mod installed pre-requesting key?

[DailyGame]

What forum are you registering for? I'll check if it's saved correctly

Anyway you can try again

[carubmun]

I did everything as its instructed... didnt work, no test game shows up.
Furthermore, when i hit "save" in the option screen... the field to input the username gets reset to 0 every time. Is that normal?

[messengermatt]

What forum are you registering for? I'll check if it's saved correctly

Well how long does it take for a game to post to the forums because its been 24 hours and nothing posted yet

[APD Shinjo]

www.AnimePolice.com was the forum.
No one visit it, it's still under construction :(. Anyone who visits it will feel my wrath. :mad: lol

[DailyGame]

messengermatt, carubmun - Did the test game show in your forum? There is probably a problem with the config and one or more of the steps are not complete. If you need help feel free to PM us and we will try to assist

APD Shinjo - did you get the key eventually?

BTW, We have fixed the checkbox glitch on our page

[carubmun]

Test game did not show on my forum.
Config was placed in my forums root, should it be in my site's root?
I doubt that.

I will PM.

Did the test game load? If not - the installation probably went wrong

[KURTZ]

yes the test was good (onto the playgame page) but nothing into my forum ...

edit: in the registration i put all the path http://fniv.it/vb/forum.php it's correct?

[Veer]

Installed and tested, works fine for me.

There is a problem with post title configuration, I set this "Game of the Day [DATE] : [GAME NAME]" and the game posted with "Game of the Day [DATE] : [GAME NAME]" date and game name has not replaced.

[lazydesis]

working fin on my forum :) first game was posted today

[DailyGame]

The "forum.php" part is not needed, I'll change it manually

Sorry, I guess it was misleading - just leave this field blank and the title will be replaced automatically

[blake247]

Works great here. Installed

[ywwz]

doesnt work. i cannot receive the email of the code we need to put in the configure part of this plugin.

[DailyGame]

PM your site and email, and I'll check if the registration succeeded and why the shared key wasn't sent correctly

[Veer]

I get the game thread title "Daily game Jan 28 :" (No game title) and the game is not loading in the post, I can see ads but game doesn't load.

[KURTZ]

The "forum.php" part is not needed, I'll change it manually

OK, but it doesn't runs ... :S

@dailygame: if you need i can give you an admin account, just tell me :)

Is there a way to get rid of your copyright notice?
I don't really mind paying for it.

I have downloaded and installed this game but the daily game is not showing up on my forum. I put the secret code in, and i clicked the link in the email to have the test game show up on my forum and that game is not there.

Any suggestions?

I have to say that the IDEA of this mod sounds awesome and would be something I would be willing to pay a small fee for... My main concern, however, lies with a mod that pulls info from another site and posts to my site. I would expect that site to be on that is pretty strong in a security sense. It looks like your forum site is still running vb 3.8.1... This is worrisome. What info is being pulled from your site? What security measures are taken to prevent somebody from hacking your site so that it send malicious code out to all of ours?

[DailyGame]

We will be releasing an update in a few days, to fix the problem with the empty games and allow a little more flexibility in the settings. Stay tuned for the new version.

Currently the copyright notice is not optional and cannot be removed.

Your forum's security is a big issue for us as well, and we take it very seriously. As I've explained before, the main security feature is a unique secret key each forum gets. The key makes sure that only the Daily Game service can post on your vBulletin, using the forum and user you choose. We are sending the game's data to the subscriber and post it on the forum. We are not pulling any kind of information from the forum besides our plugin's version number.

This number needs to be the user id of someone who is registered on your forum (you, an admin or a special dedicated account - "daily_games" for example)
Try using 1 - the ADMIN will be the author of the daily game posts.

46222 is the dedicated user's ID on our forum, I guess it can be misleading...

We haven't tried bidvertiser on our forum, but if it's a standard ad code it will work. Please post your experience with it on this thread.

That's because you've changed the daily game poster user id
You can set it back to the original value, or delete this game and the next ones will be fine
Sorry - I should have warned you about that...

[dangerin]

ahh OK.. so it mean that's obligatoru to mantain ever the same user..
mmhh it can be an upgrade to do? i think that's more better to have different users during the time ( if possible).
So now i delete this and how i can rebuild an other game test with new user so i see that'all ok also with new user?

[dangerin]

It's impossible to remove the post with the old game.
it ever say that the action is not posible and i'm the admnistrator..
How this is possible ?

That's weird, you should be able to delete the post. The plugin certainly doesn't stand in your way.

Currently the reason for having one user sending the posts is security, so if we want to allow changing the user we'll need to find another security measure to work around it. I'll look into it...

[rlshosting]

What do you mean by "instead of the game"?

We haven't tried bidvertiser on our forum, but if it's a standard ad code it will work. Please post your experience with it on this thread.

Instead of the Adsense code. You answered my question. I am going to try the bidvertiser code.

We'll try to work around the switched-off boards.

First off this works great inside the forums (the actual thread that it creates).

My question is the Home page (vBCms) has a latest post widget. the daily game there displays as follows:

<div id="GameName" style="font-weight:bold; font-size:bigger; text-align:center; padding-bottom:5px;"><a href="http://www.playedonline.com/game/597839/infectonator-world-dominator.html"...

Is there anything that can be done to make this look better?

[MichelangeloITA]

Hi, I followed all the instructions, but I still get

Exception : undefined method `string' for #

I tried several times, always the same message, could you check my account, please?

EDIT: Now it works fine, I've put a wrong path to the forums. But I got a new problem: in the section where you push games, we can't see BBcode anymore - if we edit a message, in the editor appears.

I've a problem. Installed and tried the test game and worked but from yesterday I've not received any new game in the forum. How can I check if everything is working? I've sent you my key just to check...

[andreamarucci]

Ok now the game is in my forum. Maybe I was confused. At what time GMT the new game is coming?

Another thing. I've set the post title to "Gioco del giorno" but the new post title was "Gioco del giorno" without the name and the date.

I've to put "Gioco del giorno [DATE] : [GAME NAME]" in this field?

The 1st one loads and the 2nd one just says "the game is loading". It was not doing this before. Why am I getting double games in each post?

[justasiam]

OK, the double post issue is due to another mod I installed. I ripped it out and it is good now.

I am STILL having a problem with this mod posting all the games in "Moderated" status. The forum is NOT setup that way. I have provided a username and password to "DailyGame" but I have not heard anything.

if its a normal member your using to post the games try using a different one admin or mod name should bypass moderation that way. or exempt that member from spam checks etc.

Just FYI I installed this on 3.8.4 this evening and it works fine.

You may need to use www.mysite.com/forum/ to get it to work also set the posting user to be an admin, say userid 2. If you don't it tries to post as an unregistered user and fails.

I haven't tried any ads on it yet so I can't give any feed back on functionality, I'm waiting for a positive user reaction before I take that step.

Normally games are wider to fit in a sidebar. Would you find it useful if the post for the front page would be a teaser with a thumbnail image and some text?

Hi, this is due to your forum's settings

I don't believe it's a board setting issue.

My daily game was working perfect.....but this month...all games come moderated......and no changes were done to the board settings.

Could u check it?

Ty in advance

[Aramist]

I guess I have figured out how to solve the problem...

I have recently installed [GlowHost] Spam-O-Matic - Eliminate Forum Spam MOD.

And the i believe Askimet option is considering the daily game as a SPAM.

I have disabled the askimet option now....let's wait the next game tomorrow....to see if it keeps moderated.
