Thank you. I got it.

sorted. ;] ty

Can someone tell me where is my ini? Did he mean init.php file in the install folder? Can someone tell me more detail please?

I'm not a php guy, and I've installed this great hack! I love it.

I want to modify how my navbar works, though.

In the instructions it says to add this code to the navbar:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="arcade.php?$session[sessionurl_q]">Arcade</a></td>

In editing the navbar, I would like to have the Arcade option only show up on the navbar if the user group has the rights to the arcade.

Thank you!

has nothing to do with editing the navbar, add that line like the instructions say.

its a simple option in the AdminCP

go to the 'AdminCP' and expand 'Arcade' Click 'Group Permission' then just look for the Usergroup you want to edit and under "Level of Access" switch it to "Can't view or play Arcade"

let me know if that helps

Thank you for the reply.

I guess I didn't explain well enough.

I don't want the navbar text showing up on the navbar unless the user has logged into vBulletin and has rights to the arcade, similar to the quick links option, etc.

I hope this helps to explain it further.

Any other thoughts?

the first option in 'Group Permission' is for "Unregistered / Not Logged In"
switch that to "Can't View or Play Arcade"

IE if there not resgistered or not logged in it should not display. though i dont know how that works for the navbar, im not sure if it makes it disappear. if you have tried it tell me what happends

to change the disaplay in navbar you need to alter the code in the navbar-template and include a check if the user is logged in or not. Just wrap the check around the Arcade-Link

I'm glad you caught the meaning of my post.

Your idea does get me closer to what I want, however, is there a more granular code than this that would verifiy if the user has the rights to the arcade system, and if not, don't display the "Arcade" text in the navbar? I don't know the code, but I would guess there'd be a variable that could be referenced that would determine group rights.

I do thank you immensely for the first piece of the puzzle!

Ive searched the threads, and found 1 reference to following error, bt no answer.

Its so frustrating when users beat a high score and get this....
