Good thing the drop-downs are persistent and you can scroll LOL ...

But what could be done to improve this is to evaluate which are the most popular 15 games, and only put them in the menu ... probably based on the number of times played, or the length of time played ... if it became an issue that could be implemented ...

now, that I like. The sql query will no doubt get abit complicated, though since you'd need to do a join table and use 'count', order by, limit etc. :)

Any chance to use it without DHTML on?

How would you want it - like in a Sidebar menu ? or a vBIndex custom box ?

Sure - could be done :)

THIS IS AWESOME LOOKING. But right now even with a dozen or so games the LIST is Huge!

I like the idea of HAVING an option like ONLY use top 5 games. or Whatever you want to make the limit. Personally I would like to use Top5 most visited Games. Someone might want to use Top 10. Perhaps a editable field in the Arcade Panel for this option.

Ill use this hack soon if it ever gets those features.

Ill keep in touch with this thread.

Another option (if it is just the size of the list that is too big) is to edit the CSS statements for the navbar popup links - drop them down a fint size and it should help a lot ...

Sometimes I forget that not everyone has 1280x1024 ...

I'll look into this ok guys ?

OK - I've created the new function to populate the menu with only the N most played games - atm the value of N will be hardcoded by you the hacker into your global.php (where the function is called), but for the next release (which will have this variant as an option) I will add it to the Arcade ACP Options page (once I learn how to do ACP options LOL) - I will not be updating the original instructions until the next release ...

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE ONLY N MOST POPULAR OPTIONS

Find in includes/functions.php
PHP Code:
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch
function genArcadeMenu() {
    global $DB_site,$vboptions;
    $theseGames = $DB_site->query("SELECT gameid,title,gamesettings FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games ORDER BY title");
    while ($thisGame = $DB_site->fetch_array($theseGames)) {
        $arcmenu.= (is_int($thisGame[gamesettings]/2)) ? "" : "\t\t<tr><td class=\"vbmenu_option\"><a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]do=play&amp;gameid=".$thisGame[gameid]."\">".$thisGame[title]."</a></td></tr>\n";
    }
    return $arcmenu;
}
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch 
Replace with:
PHP Code:
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch
function genArcadeMenu($limit) {
    global $DB_site,$vboptions;
    $theseGames = $DB_site->query("
                    SELECT " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games.gameid AS gameid, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games.title AS title, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games.gamesettings as gamesettings, COUNT(" . TABLE_PREFIX . "gamesessions.gamename) AS popularity 
                    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games 
                    INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "gamesessions 
                    ON " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games.shortname = " . TABLE_PREFIX . "gamesessions.gamename 
                    GROUP BY title 
                    ORDER BY popularity DESC 
                    LIMIT $limit
                    ");
    while ($thisGame = $DB_site->fetch_array($theseGames)) {
        $arcmenu.= (is_int($thisGame[gamesettings]/2)) ? "" : "\t\t<tr><td class=\"vbmenu_option\"><a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]do=play&amp;gameid=".$thisGame[gameid]."\">".$thisGame[title]."</a></td></tr>\n";
    }
    return $arcmenu;
}
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch 
Find in global.php
PHP Code:
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch
    $nav_arcade = genArcadeMenu();
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch 
Replace with:
PHP Code:
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch
    $nav_arcade = genArcadeMenu("6");
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch 
This should do it ... change the value in the global function call (above) to match your required number of menu options ...
