Firstly, did you make the edit to the index.php file which has been posted here on numerous occasions?

Also, when you install vB4.2 it automatically sets the What's New activity stream to your default page, you need to change that.

AdminCP > Settings > Navigation Manager >

Find 'Home' tab and in the 'edit' dropdown select Set Default and save the settings.

Should all work after that.

There is a SQLi vulnerability in the tournaments area, developer of this modification can Private Message me for more information. Had to un-install the modification.

Should all be restored and working now :)

Works fine on 4.2!

Hello,my problem is:

have vb 4.2.0 and the scores dont save,

when i submit a score, this redirect to forum start page.

Have any idea´s?

I've made some posts about this a couple of pages back, you may need to edit your index.php file if you are running either vBulletin CMS or vBAdvanced CMPS and/or you may also need to set 'Forum' to default in the Navigation Manager instead of 'What's New'

Search back over the last 3 or 4 pages and you should find the answers you need :)

Been browsing online to find VBSEO Rewrite rules for vb3arcade and so far I ended up with this

Now is there anything I can add to that rule, so that I can show the game title instead of game-(whatever number is it)?

This was asked a few times over on the vBSEO forums and they said the core arcade files would need modified to support the rewrites.

Sadly, I don't think it was taken any further. Maybe someone on here has an idea of how to achieve this.

Hello -
I'm having some issues with the tournament system, which used to work fine.

If someone creates a tournament, The invitations are sent via pm as usual. the tournament shows up with the correct number of tiers, but with only the person who created the tournament shows. The other slots all say Empty Slot.

I just downloaded the new files and re-imported, allowing overwrite, thinking this was part of the latest vb upgrade issues, but it had no effect.

They don't automatically get entered into the tournament, they just get a PM inviting them to join - the PM link re-directs to the tournament page. They still have to sign up on the tournament page or the tournament awaiting players page - the only person automatically enetered into the tournament will be the tournament creator if they so choose to be included.

Thanks again Gemma.

So, if someone invites you to play a tournament.

You log into the forum, then:
1. Click Notifications, select Inbox
2. Click the subject line to open the message.
3. Click the "View Tournament Details" link in the message.
4. Arrive at the Tournament ladder page. At this point, the user, (and in this case me) have no idea what to do. Just a deadend.
5. Click randomly (or ask Gemma) until you click Tournaments Awaiting Players.
6. Click some more, or have an flash of insight and click "sign up". Hopefully, they signed up for the tournament that they were invited to, as there doesn't seem to be any connection here between the invite and the acceptance.

Is there anyway to reduce the clicks and to get to the point? Without an instruction manual, the users can get worn out by the time they figure out how to get on board.

How about something like this:
1. Click Notifications, select Inbox
2. Click the subject line to open the message.
3. Click the "Join Tournament" link in the message, which does the same thing as step #6 above? Or get fancy and have two links, with the second being decline invitation?

That shortens the rabbit trail by half, removes a dead end, reduces navigational ambiguity. Again, this is a great script, just looking for a way to keep the user moving forward in getting to play a tournament.

In the PM you receive it should link to the tournament you are invited to; all you then need to do is click the sign up button (link) on the page.

I guess you could expand the PM text a little to say something like below by editing the notify_tournament_invite_message phrase.

You will need to remove the ' from the coded lines as it is only included to allow the code to show)

['url={4}/arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewtourmnt&tid={5}]View Tournament Details[/url]
['url={4}/arcadetourmnt.php?do=jointourmnt&&tid={5}]Join This Tournament[/url]

Just installed, and it looks as thought the sub navigation bar overlaps a bunch of information, is there a fix for this? Thanks!

This should fix it.

Hello Gemma,

I have exactly the same problem as Recon describet it.

Is there a solution for that?

Thank you.

Can you show a screenshot of your navigation manager settings for the arcade tab(s)?

I am having a problem submitting the arcade scores, it just boots me back to the forum home page. I do not have an index.php my forum.php is my index.

So I noticed if I'm viewing anything to do with tournaments, such as the Start a New Tournament page, it gives me an unknown location. Everything else, though, like the main arcade page and leaderboard, is Viewing Page Arcade like it should be.

Is there a way to fix this?

Also, is there a way to separate games? Currently, it says Viewing Page Arcade when playing games, but I would like it to be Playing Game [Game].

Gemma, could you tell me how to edit my template to correct a problem I have had since upgrading to 4.2 some how I ended up with over writing of the navbar in the arcade :o http://crackercoast.com/crackerchat/arcade.php

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1344996588

Well DUH I didn't see this before posting going to see if that is it :p

That should fix your navigation problems.

I'm nothing to do with v3 Arcade now that it has moved to vBAdvanced (other than it is one of the pieces of arcade software I run), so you (and anyone else) would probably be better directing support questions to the vBAdvanced team - if I'm online and I see your post I'll try and answer it if I have an answer but folks may be better of asking on www.vbadvanced.com if they are looking for a quick or definite answer as I'm not online much just now.

Yeah but your always have the best answers :D

I didn't even know about the new navigation tool till I read your instructions , I put one up for my calendar too.

Hello!

Using VB 4.2 and the last v3 Arcade Mod.

Is there a way, to enter the Game, User and Points-Data into the activity-Stream (activity.php) (without creating a topic) ?

Does anyone know how to have it beat High scores??? I notice one person got the highscore and ever since, no one can beat it even when they do.

The rest works fine as far as I can tell.

practice :D

No it does not work fine, the person that is the leader is NOT the leader he has a lower score and it does not replace with the correct person.

Hi,

I have a blank (new) installation of vb 4.2, I installed all the files from the zip into the root directory on the server.

But when trying to install the xml file I get the error:-

"No file uploaded and no local file found."

Any ideas?

EDIT:- I even tried leaving everything in the "Forums" folder, and having the 2 sets of files. Still the same error.

Have you tried running the Maintenance Tools?

AdminCP > v3 Arcade > Maintenance - run both Rebuild Awards & High Score Cache and Rebuild Game Scores

Not seen this before, with any product so forgive me for dumb questions :)

Are you using the latest version of the arcade and is it the vB4.x version?
Have you had any difficulties installing other products?
Anything like mod_security installed on your server?

Hi thanks for your reply.

Yes I am using the latest version of arcade (v3_arcade_for_vbulletin_2_0_3A_(vb4)).

I have had no problems installing any other mod/theme etc.

As of yet there is no security mods employed.

But I did try the other arcade (ibProArcade2.7.2+) that installed and ran OK, i just do not like this version. I installed this after deleting all of the v3_arcade version.

The product file could be corrupt, trying using the one in the attachment I've posted and see if it installs using that.

I'm having this eror when I try to Import games from MochiMedia.com:

Seems to be problems with some games, try following the steps in this thread - http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46930

I've come across this error myself lately and had to go back and install the games in smaller batches until I found the game causing the error. I then downloaded and imported that game manually and everything was fine again.

Hello -

I need a little troubleshooting help.

When I look at my "Pending Challenges" section, the challenges I have already played are still there. When clicking the link, I get this messge: "Our records show that you've already played your part in this challenge before. Only one score can be submitted per challenge."

Do you know where I can look for the problem or where I can fix it?

Thanks!

Has the other player played their part of the challenge?

Yes, they have, and the score of the challenge is displayed at the top of the "Recent Challenges" block.

When the other person tries to challenge me again, she gets "You've already challenged doubleclick to a game of Bloots.

Can you only challenge someone to a game once, or is a record not being updated?

I just checked the tables, and both the winnerid and loserid fields for the challenges still showning up were 0

I deleted the challenge records, and will keep an eye out for this happening again. I hope it was just a random fluke.

no.. it does not help... in a game someone have (ex.) 1000 in score and is the first place, but other user has 2000 and its the second place :/
I did the maintenance tools but it does not work :/

Are the games set as high or low scoring? To check, go to

AdminCP > v3 Arcade > Manage Games and select any game where this problem occurs. Click to edit and scroll down to Use Reverse Scoring - Reverses the scores, so that the lowest numerical value is the highest score (YES/NO).

If it is set to YES then all the scores are set to lowest score wins. If this is the case then, this should fix your problem - http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/show...04&postcount=2

I want to rid myself of ibProArcade for vBulletin and go to V3 arcade for vBulletin?

What exactly must I do?
Where do I get games for V3 Arcade?

Thanks!! :up:
