v3Arcade - new look to your arcade main page

[GenSec]

As I was asked about this one ;)
---------------------------------------------------
These hack adds new look to your arcade main page.

Files to edit: 1
Templates to edit: 2


Very easy to install... Just 2"
---------------------------------------------------

Find in arcade.php



// Gets all of the games
while ($game = $DB_site->fetch_array($result_allgames)) {
$gamename = $game['shortname'];
if ($gamecache["$game[shortname]"]) {
$game = $gamecache["$game[shortname]"];
} else {
// the game has never had a score recorded
// $extra is used as a conditional for the arcade_main_games_bit template
$extra = 1;
}
if (strlen($game['username'])>12) {
$game['username'] = "<font size=1>".$game['username']."</font>";
}
if (($game['gamesettings'] & 1)&&($g >= $startingfrom && $g<$upperlimit)) {
eval('$gamebits .= "' . fetch_template('arcade_main_games_bit') . '";');
exec_switch_bg();
}
if ($game['gamesettings'] & 1) {
$g++;
}
unset($extra);
}



and replace with

// Gets all of the games
$gamebits .="<tr>";
while ($game = $DB_site->fetch_array($result_allgames)) {
$gamename = $game['shortname'];
if ($gamecache["$game[shortname]"]) {
$game = $gamecache["$game[shortname]"];
} else {
// the game has never had a score recorded
// $extra is used as a conditional for the arcade_main_games_bit template
$extra = 1;
}
if (($game['gamesettings'] & 1)&&($g >= $startingfrom && $g < $upperlimit)) {
if(!(($g+1)%4)) $nextrow="</tr><tr>";
else $nextrow="";
eval('$gamebits .= "' . fetch_template('arcade_main_games_bit') . '";');
exec_switch_bg();
}
if ($game['gamesettings'] & 1) {
$g++;
}
unset($extra);
}
$gamebits .="</tr>";



Change your "arcade_main_games_bit" template to the attached.

And edit "arcade_main" template around $gamebits
to change every newrest colspan="4" to your number of columns :)

<tr align="center">
<td colspan="4" class="thead">total games: $gamecount </td>
</tr>
$gamebits
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" colspan="4" align="left">




------------------
Thats all!

You can easy to make your own number of columns :)

Don't forget to edit number of games per page!

--------------------------------------------

Forget to say if you want to include info about the game size

you need to edit the game table in your DB



ALTER TABLE `games` ADD `filesize` INT( 10 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;


and after new game instalation to use game_size.php ;)

[Oblivion Knight]

Another excellent addon to the Arcade.. :)

[Polo]

nice, thanks for sharing ;)

[GamerJunk.net]

Does this not work with the categories mod?

[GenSec]

Does this not work with the categories mod?

It works with categories... on my board - no problem. Why should?

But frankly :) I don't know about what "categories mod" your ask

[free4ever]

ThanX it is great ..

[Zath]

Works great but how can i set the number of games displayed per page?

[frankenberrie]

Nice - installed

[Rick Sample]

Thanks for the release!

:)

[GenSec]

Works great but how can i set the number of games displayed per page?
It's in arcade.php default option :)

Look for
$perpage = 10;

a bit above my hack. I advice $perpage = 24 or 28 ....(numrows*4)

[Lionel]

I had a rough time with categories and ushop arcade pass. I am going to try again later.

[Oblivion Knight]

This also requires a bit of modification to work with the Favourites system, though I got there in the end.. :D

This is a great hack. Has anyone managed to install it with the arcade pass? It gets though with the game cost and the jackpot column....

[GenSec]

This is a great hack. Has anyone managed to install it with the arcade pass? It gets though with the game cost and the jackpot column....
If you look on what I suggest to change in arcade.php you see that it has only 4 new lines to include in


// Gets all of the games
$gamebits .="<tr>";
while ($game = $DB_site->fetch_array($result_allgames)) {
$gamename = $game['shortname'];
if ($gamecache["$game[shortname]"]) {
$game = $gamecache["$game[shortname]"];
} else {
// the game has never had a score recorded
// $extra is used as a conditional for the arcade_main_games_bit template
$extra = 1;
}
if (($game['gamesettings'] & 1)&&($g >= $startingfrom && $g < $upperlimit)) {
if(!(($g+1)%4)) $nextrow="</tr><tr>";
else $nextrow="";
eval('$gamebits .= "' . fetch_template('arcade_main_games_bit') . '";');
exec_switch_bg();
}
if ($game['gamesettings'] & 1) {
$g++;
}
unset($extra);
}
$gamebits .="</tr>";
block :)

[Lionel]

thanks

[frankenberrie]

Installed .... Excellent job@

An amazing mod, the only problem I can see is this;

Your record: íåò

It will display this if you don't have a record in the game. Any way to fix this?

[GenSec]

An amazing mod, the only problem I can see is this;

Your record: ???

It will display this if you don't have a record in the game. Any way to fix this?
Sorry. Forget retranslate :)

Just edit "arcade_main_games_bit" template to
<br />Your score:&nbsp;<if condition="$personalBest[$gamename] >= 1"><b>$personalBest[$gamename]</b><else />none</if>

none = ??? ;)

[Lionel]

This mod is really nice. Unfortunately I cannot use it because of the arcadepass mod. When I do, whatever I gain for space in the width, I loose in the height with the addition of the arcadepass parameters 2 extra lines for cost and jackpot.

[GenSec]

Lionel. Just modify number of rows and cols :)

[Brent H]

GREAT hack man very impressed! Was looking for something that would clean up my arcade :D

I just have two small cosmetic problems. First, on pages that are able to show the full 24 games on a page, there is a thick black bar at the bottom. (Attatchment 1)

On pages where there is not enough games to show 24, it leaves a big black space. (Attachment 2)

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks you.

[GenSec]

TheHeggy. I guess it's from bgcolor of table in wich $gamebits placed in arcade_main template in your style. Try to change it.

[Wachtmeister]

Will this work if my forum uses fatabase prefix? My tables are named "vb3_games" an so on.... ??

[KTBleeding]

Just a few things here...

First, looks much better than the default, good job.
Second, how do we change the colums? I want like.. three colums instead of four..
Third, when I executed the query for the filesize, all my games show "0 kb"
Fourth, the instructions were a bit shady when it came down to modifying the "arcade_main" template.

I put in the code you had but it got rid of the cellspacing which I liked having in there.. Here is my "arcade_main" template if anyone wants to use it. I got it to show the single bar at the top and to still show the cellspacing.

KTBleeding - The query for the filesize is just the row for storing the information. In order to generate the filesize information for games currently in your database, you have to run the game_size.php that is included with the hack.

Once you've run that it should be fine, but don't forget you'll need to run it after you install any more games. Perhaps just setup a scheduled task within vB Admincp once a week etc. depending on how frequently you add games.

As for the column problem - I had this as well and the instructions for changing it were a little bit grey, particularly as they show other mods that you may not have included. Anyway, go to your arcade_main template and look for the section beginning:

<!-- games -->

Around that area, change any instances of colspan="#" to however many columns you want, i.e. colspan="3". This is in the instructions, but it fails to mention that you have to go to the /forum/arcade.php file and change the following code as well:


// Gets all of the games
$gamebits .="<tr>";
while ($game = $DB_site->fetch_array($result_allgames)) {
$gamename = $game['shortname'];
if ($gamecache["$game[shortname]"]) {
$game = $gamecache["$game[shortname]"];
} else {
// the game has never had a score recorded
// $extra is used as a conditional for the arcade_main_games_bit template
$extra = 1;
}
if (($game['gamesettings'] & 1)&&($g >= $startingfrom && $g < $upperlimit)) {
if(!(($g+1)%3)) $nextrow="</tr><tr>";


Change the number at the end of that code, i.e. if(!(($g+1)%4)) to if(!(($g+1)%3)). You should then have your three columns!!

You'll need to set the $perpage = #; to a number that displays the correct amount for your columns. For example, I have 3 columns and therefore I've changed mine to $perpage = 21;. This ensures there are no empty cells in the table.

Hope that helps.

GenSec - good job, works great.

where is the favourites system? I must have missed that one! :disappointed:

I'd like to know how the fav system works... aka, if some1 adds it to favs, where does he get the list of his favs?

[ChuanSE]

GenSec mate, this is really cool :D

* ChuanSE clicks install :D

installed it, it's working well, thank you :)

hey, hmm maybe i should of asked if it works with 3.0.3 but i've installed it it works well, but i cant get rid of the blank spaces :(

[ChuanSE]

installed it, it's working well, thank you :)

Looks neat hu ;)

[TwinsX2Dad]

When I run game_size.php, I am getting an error.

-------------------------------------------------------
Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE games SET filesize='11' WHERE gameid=1
mysql error: Table 'siteroot_forums.games' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146
-------------------------------------------------------
What must I modify in the php file? I've tried several fixes, to no avail.

My table prefix is the standard vb3_

My games table, specifically, is: vb3_games

Thanks!

[GenSec]

$DB_site->query("UPDATE vb3_games SET filesize='$filesize' WHERE gameid=$att[gameid]");

[TwinsX2Dad]

That was very similar to one I'd tried with no success - but I figured I'd made an error somewhere, so I took a fresh file_size.php and changed the line to your suggestion. I got the same result as illustrated above.

Here's what I have, after adding your suggestion:

<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array();

require_once('./global.php');

$games = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM games");
while ($att = $DB_site->fetch_array($games))
{

$path = "./games/".$att['file'];
$filesize = filesize($path);
$filesize = intval($filesize/1024);
$DB_site->query("UPDATE vb3_games SET filesize='$filesize' WHERE gameid=$att[gameid]");
}

echo "DONE!";
?>

Is that correct? If it is, then I have some real problems. :nervous:

[DaPro]

Be sure to read the directions, the text directions fail to mention this, please edit them

go to your mysql execute thing and put this in.

ALTER TABLE `games` ADD `filesize` INT( 10 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;

then run it, and your all set.

[TwinsX2Dad]

I thought I'd done that, but I tried again anyway. I got this response:

SQL-query:

ALTER TABLE `vb3_games` ADD `filesize` INT( 10 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL
MySQL said:

#1060 - Duplicate column name 'filesize'

[PennylessZ28]

Nice but your directions are lacking in the last phase of altering the arcade_main template. I've had no luck installing this and having it look decent.

Everything around my $gamebits, looks nothing like what you have posted in the instructions.

[buck3t]

Looks and works great. Unfortunately I must have missed something as it still says Game, Champion, Personal Best, and Description at the top of the columns.

Suggestions?

Check "arcade_main" template

[buck3t]

Fixed.

[sstrayer]

Installed minus the game size part. Thanks!

[Benj]

this might be a general arcade question but it applies to this hack to:-

how do you control how many games are showed per page ???

[Polo]

Benj in arcade.php change
$perpage = 10;
Change 10 to how ever many games you want to show up per page.

[Cole2026]

Thanks. Very kool.

[Mark.B]

Great hack which I have running on my v3 Arcade.

What would be REALLY great is if someone wrote a similar hack for ibProarcade, then both my arcades would look the same. :D

[anarchystar]

this is a great mod, took all of about 5 minutes to install.

[Socomjunky.com]

hey are u russian. if u are cool. kak dila?

well listen does this work for the ibProArcade too????

[Mark.B]

hey are u russian. if u are cool. kak dila?

It doesn't, but there is a hack on www.ibproarcade-vb.com that will give you the basic column layout, you can then tweak it as I have done on my site. I run both arcades together and both look virtually identical to the look used in this hack. :D

[Harry72]

Thx for this super hack. Works great with 3.0.6 too !!! :laugh:

Now i will take a beer. :laugh: :lick:

[phreak420]

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Umm, what did I do wrong in installing it?

[djjeffa]

anyway to chouse where the games are located in each colum?
like what order ther displayed in?

[AuroraMike]

Is there a way to reduce the number of columns? I read the above instructions and it reads like changing colspan= to a different number will reduce the # of games shown going across but that's not what's working. Right now I've opted to show 16 games per page. That's working fine. I have a 4x4 grid. But I'd much rather have a 3x4 grid (three across, four down) so that the boxes are a bit bigger. Changing the colspan= only changes the bar above and below the games listed (where "Total Games:" and the thin line beneath the columns are).

I've played with this for about 45 minutes and can't figure out where the columns are changed at. :ermm:

edit: nevermind, Intex answered this on page 1. I just missed his post.

But I have the Categories mod installed and this Mod worked perfectly even with this Categories Mod. So that's not my issue. My issue is that the Categories Mod takes away listing of any game on the main entrance page to the arcade.php that visitors first see when they hit the arcade.

I would like to get this mod to also display on my main Arcade page below the list of categories. Can you help me out? I couldn't figure out which mod page would be better to post this question at.

I can't find this code, I've even tried searching for the three top lines individually and nothing came back

// Gets all of the games
while ($game = $DB_site->fetch_array($result_allgames)) {
$gamename = $game['shortname'];
if ($gamecache["$game[shortname]"]) {
$game = $gamecache["$game[shortname]"];
} else {
// the game has never had a score recorded
// $extra is used as a conditional for the arcade_main_games_bit template
$extra = 1;
}
if (strlen($game['username'])>12) {
$game['username'] = "<font size=1>".$game['username']."</font>";
}
if (($game['gamesettings'] & 1)&&($g >= $startingfrom && $g<$upperlimit)) {
eval('$gamebits .= "' . fetch_template('arcade_main_games_bit') . '";');
exec_switch_bg();
}
if ($game['gamesettings'] & 1) {
$g++;
}
unset($extra);
}

Any help plz :D

[Polo]

try looking for this line:

unset($extra);this line has to be there...

[steadicamop]

Believe it or not ... it's not there, just searched through arcade.php - not found :(

[Polo]

really?? mmm... did you modified the arcade.php file alot?

[1nf3rn0]

Believe it or not ... it's not there, just searched through arcade.php - not found :(
are you using an editor?..or just notepad or wordpad?..if usin any of them, make sure you are searching in the opposite direction from where your cursor is placed...please take no offense...ive just done this before...

[steadicamop]

I did the changes remotely via ftp .... I used CuteFTP's built in editor, that's pretty darn handy too.

I've not hacked the Arcade at all .. only for the resolution selection for the games, that's the only one installed.

I might just download the original arcade.php and see what happens if I replace it for the current one.

You will probably need the latest version of v3arcade, v1.0.3.
The lines aren't there in v1.0.0,

Now for my problem:
I can't get the layout right, the page is totaly messed up.
So can somebody who has only installed this modification on v3arcade, share his arcade_main template?

Thx,

did it work?

[waza]

Hey,
I first also had to upload my changed arcade.php (I uploaded the wrong one)
It was still a mess, but it worked with your template.
thx a lot!

i would like to take out the total of games shown. it makes it look funny since all the games are on the same page. where can i edit that out. i just want the games to be on the arcade page so it looks cleaner than it does now. thanks ahead of time for the help

could you be a little more specific please thanks

[dsboyce8624]

could you be a little more specific please thanks

Theres a line that says:
<tr align="center">
<td colspan="4" class="thead">total games: $gamecount </td>
</tr>

Change the "total games: $gamecount " to whatever you want the header to say.

[Aeolian_X]

Great Hack! Looks great in my Arcade. Thank you!

*Clicks Install and Rocks On!*

[ryne661]

How can you undo

ALTER TABLE `games` ADD `filesize` INT( 10 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;

in the db?

I am trying to uninstall this hack...

[DjTaz]

ryne661 - if u have phpmyadmin ... log into the sql , go to games and find the table filesize and delete it from there.

[atxhorn]

very nice

[cherieann]

Installed with a few differences, Prolly gonna edit it a bit more :) But thanks!

[kregger]

Where do I change the $pagenav so that more games show up per page? Sorry, a bit of a n00b staggering around here. hehe I think that's the thing I have to change(or would it be the $gamesbit). I got the hack to work but its only showing 10 games per page. TIA!

Craig

[Gio~Logist]

go to arcade.php and change


$perpage = 10;


to whatever number you'd like

[thephonemall]

Can someone please assist me with altering my Game Table? I do not know where to do this. I uploaded game_size.php to admincp but when I run it I receive a database error. I suspect it is because I did not alter the Game Table.
Currently no sizes show up. Looks like:
Play: [ Kb]

Can anybody upgrade this wonderful hack for vb3.5?

[MThornback]

Note for people: There are 2 instances of games in the game_size.php file, you need to add prefixes (if you use them) to BOTH for it to work :)

[Oblivion Knight]

Can anybody upgrade this wonderful hack for vb3.5?It's done, just waiting for permission to release the port.. ;)
