Fantastic...thanks so much!!!

Strangely I didn't do this step and it all works fine

the install guide is old ;)

Lol, I guess so :)
Btw can someone explain where I can give moderators perms to run the arcade?

Only admin`s can run the arcade right now..

So must we do those modifications in the installation guide?

Because to me the plugin is not visualized good.
Look here: http://www.sigarettaelettronicaforum.com/arcade.php

Please guys what I can do to fix this?

Most of the arcade fixes are in this thread:

Many thanks Stangger. I'm going to make these changes.
Maybe can be good for you to add this link to the first post so you don't have to repeat many times. ;)
Can you please tell me if we must made all modifications shown in this file attached: Installation - vBulletin 3.5.x-3.8.x + 4.x - english.html ??

All you really need to do, is:
CHMOD the /arcade directory and all its subfolders to 0777
and
Import the Product-XML-File: ./includes/xml/product-ibproarcade.xml and click IMPORT

You dont have to edit the templates, if you dont want to..

If you have vb4.2, install the ibProArcade Tab in Navbar vb4.2

Hi,

I'm getting this error on the "showthread" page: PHP Warning: Illegal string offset 'type' in ..../includes/class_postbit.php(345) : eval()'d code on line 57

The only plugins active are the arcade and iquote. Any ideas?

VB4.2.3 running 2.7.3 of the arcade

PHP 5.5.32

---------------------------------------- I figured it out ------------------------------

Go to the plugin manager and disable crowns showing in the postbit .

To fix that, read this:

Thanks,

Made the change and it works like a dream....

I changed the two instances I could find that didn't have the single quotes and I'm still getting the message. Could someone post up their working code so I could compare?

Just installed this on 4.2.3 and everything works! however I need help on how to edit the font colors as I have a dark theme!

plz help!

For dark styles:

Change this in the ARCADE.css

to

If you have problems with this plugin when it comes to saving scores because the game name contains strings such as "delete", "update", etc., try replacing the ibp_cleansql function at the bottom of the arcade.php file with:

Arcade for vb5 ?
Is anyone having arcade and google adsense working, if so would you share a link with us?

try dragonbyte arcade for vb5...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=299200

I dont have vb5 to test with.

Guys, we should get together somehow and "force" MrZeropage to upgrade this to VB5 and also to fix some issues with VB4. Small donations and nice word can do miracles. Are we allowed to create separate thread in order to do this, to gather and see who is interested?
Can we talk about ammount of donations and to see how many of us are interested and later on to contact "Zeropage" and see is this possible.
If we are not together we cant do much, but together we can do a lot!

Pretty sure you'll run into a blank on that, because of this:

Where would be proper place to ask "vBulletin Solutions, Inc" to simply give free licenses to some coders here?
This would benefit everyone, if only license is a problem but I am afraid there is more to this than just a license.
Only trying to do something, better than doing nothing.

In your dreams. It's not happening.

It was an idea, suggestion. You sound like I placed my hand in your pocket :D
Big companies with lots of resources tend to invest in future, and this will be investing in future of VB.


Anyways, I am 99% sure that Ibproarcade will be upgraded to VB5 sooner or later, I bet sooner

This comes up from time to time, and I can categorically state it isn't going to happen.

This wouldn't be investing in the future of vB though - it would be investing in the future of people making add-ons and then selling them for profit (which is what would inevitably happen).

As I can see many of us will not upgrade to VB5 as there is no enough modifications, would say that many of us will not go for VB5 without favorite modifications.
If you look at VB5 modifications that really looks pathetic now, after how many years ?

Things go two ways, no mods less sold licenses, more mods surely few more or much more (I dont know) licenses will be sold...
How it is not investing in VB future?
Its like when real estate companies invest in parks....

I upgraded to VB5 because I was thinking few of my active members would not mind that much when it comes to modifications like Ibproarcade, I was very wrong and now thinking to go back to VB4...

ps
Used VB5 license we can find from 80$, think about it.
And I bought my first VB license because of modifications, if in that time I would see just few modifications I would never purchase it....

Reality is, the vast majority of customers are not interested in modifications. That's always been the case going right back to vB2.

If the company sarted offering free licenses for 'modification authors', how do you police that? Someone says they want one in order to write a modification - how do you make sure they do? And what classes as a 'modification'? Yesterday I wrote a small piece of code to push the vB5 PM chat icon below the username, instead of being on the same line. Is that a modification? Can I have a free license?

You would end up never selling any licenses because every user would become a 'modification author'. And you'd need a team of people to administer and police it - who would pay their wages?

It's all a moot point anyway. There's a reason no software company does this - it isn't remotely viable. And vBulletin won't be doing it, ever.

If that is true I would agree with you, but how about all that modifications for VB4, I doubt that they were made beacuse "vast majority is not interested" !?

I am not asking for license, not for me or anyone else, just seeing that many coders would not upgrade their mods (simple or complex ones) to VB5 as they dont have VB5.... and saying that by my opinion this would be "win win" thing. I think that creator of "Ibproarcade" does not have VB5, in fact I am sure of that, and if he did this mod would probably be upgraded....

I just dont like seeing what I see here (vbulletin.org/com), this place now looks like it was nuked and here and there someone in hazmat suit walks through...

ps
I do understand that most of VB licenses are sold to people who dont need modifications, nor they will ever look for one, but I also understand that there is significant number of people who are

Whilst the vbulletin.org community has always been very active, its users represent a very tiny percentage of vBulletin users generally. The vast majority of customers do not modify their boards at all, and that has always been the case. People who modify their forums are a significant but small minority.

A basic hook system has recently been added back to vB5. Reality is though, there hasn't been much interest. Repeated requests for input on hook locations get roundly ignored. So it's not really gained much traction.

Look at other platforms and the market for free modifications has contracted considerably. Most coders are now only interested in what they can sell. There are multiple and complicated reasons why that's happened, but it's the way the market is.

I'm curious if anyone running vB 4.2.5 Beta 1 and PHP 7.x has managed to get this arcade running?

I found the issue was that I am now using mysqli instead of mysql, so in the file "arcade.php", locate the line that reads:

and change that to:

Next, download the attached .PHP file and overwrite the file located at:

arcade/functions/dbclass_mysqli.php

with the attached file you downloaded. :)

Also, when using mysqli, replace "admincp/arcade.php" with the attached file. :)

I am having a few members report and confirmed that they are not able to save any games to favorites on my 3.8.8 board and some cannot click their favorites tab in the arcade navbar without getting the following database error. This does not happen to all members nor does it affect only one usergroup.

And what is with the date showing this way?
I have no errors in the server error logs.

Any help from anyone in correcting this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Maybe someone has a viable version for php 7.x?

On 5.6 it runs but when I switch to php 7.x, I get in the arcade.php error.

Thanks in advance.

A couple of posts back I posted fixes for PHP 7.x. :)

Thanks Markfl but the error is still the same.

Have also the admincp / arcade.php exchanged and the dbclass_mysqli.php

My problem is the root arcade.php

This error message comes.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW) in /www/xxx/xxxxx/forum/arcade.php on line 3205

Here is my arcade.php file.

Many Thanks
