Search the thread, or read the FAQ in the zip file from the latest release. (On v3arcade.com)

I searched this thread and did not see an answer, so I apologize if this is a dumb question:

I am looking to be able to find the user that has spent the most time playing in the arcade. I want to issue them an award for "biggest time waster" and would like to know if it is possible to find out this information.

Thanks!

I will try it now ;)

Suggestion:

It can be cool if we can show the user best score (not the global hight score) for this game in the play template (at the right of the game). Will be a good motivation for people to beat there own best score...

thanks!

v3arcade.com has a modification for that.

Hey guys,

I am currently using vBadvanced. My website is:

www.younghogget.com

Is it possible for me to install vB Arcade even though i installed vB advanced?

Thank you

definitely

If you're talking about 1.0.2, try reading the FAQ.

thanx. sorry about that. i forgot to read the faq

Can anyone help with a problem installation? Have followed the directions to the letter. Templates modified. Phrases created. Files uploaded...but the .php files edited when uploaded give me the following errors and I can't locate the issue.

Parse error: parse error in /home/pwna1b/wwwroot/pwnabbs.org/includes/functions.php on line 1795

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: exec_nocache_headers() in /home/pwna1b/wwwroot/pwnabbs.org/admincp/global.php on line 37

p.s. this hasn't been "installed" yet due to this...since installation is the last step...

I really wish vBulletin got the word out about this.... using Dreamweaver kills functions.php.

Upload a fresh functions.php and STOP using Dreamweaver to edit the files. Use notepad or EditPlus2 or any good text editor. Dreamweaver has changed that line in functions.php. That is why you are getting the error. ;)

*sigh* I'll try notpad... AGAIN.
Tried that initially. Went to Dreamweaver to look to see what was on the specified line. Decided to edit the files while there...

Question, will the original file, if opened in Dreamweaver but not edited, be changed?

<bang head here>

As long as you don't save it, or it doesn't auto-save it, you should be fine. Try going to http://www.editplus.com/ and download their editor. It has a great search feature (with multiple line search, too) and built in FTP. That's ALL I use for vb files. ;)

You can use Dreamweaver to edit the files BUT and this is a HUGE BUT, you have to first open dreamweaver, goto Edit > Preferences > Click on "Code Rewriting" on the left > Uncheck Everything in there. Save your preferences. It will no longer change the code on it's own.

Just an FYI and remember: Your mileage may vary!

works fine for me

Ok, I ran accross a problem while installing...
I was editing the files just fine then I came to this:

I was wondering, where exactly is this? Is it in the same file? I'm lost :ermm:

EDIT: I think I found it.. :P

John,

can you please tell me WHERE he missed the comma?
I?ve got the same Problem.....

Just follow the instructions properly.

Sorry....Thread #109

Everything works fine right up until this... I spent over an hour onthe phone with my host trying to sort this out. If I already have access to the database what's the problem here?

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0 Release Candidate 4:

Anyone?
I have the same problem....

cLord

seems like a good hack but should i install this one or the latest version?

everythings been working fine but today we received an errror. Running Gold and using latest arcade version. Here is the error

Error

SQL-query :

SELECT COUNT( * ) +1 AS scoresAbove
FROM gamesessions
WHERE score > AND valid =1 AND gamename = ''

MySQL said:

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND valid =1 AND gamename = ''' at line 3

I'm having a small problem, whenever I finish a game and it's loading to take me to the comments page, it just returns me to Arcade Home and it says this at the very top:

Warning: No content-type in POST request in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent in Unknown on line 0

Any reason why?

Hi,

this sounds like a typical PHP Error where someone did not put the session variables into the right order. They have to be placed directly after <?php. If there is something between the header is already placed and cannot be redefined twice. I am not sure if this applies here but please have a look at the beginning of your PHP file. Just a hint.

Cheers,

Pseudomizer

I'm trying to translate and I almost near the end but I can find this phrase:

Welcome back, admin!
So, you think you're the best!?! Prove it! Earn your trophy!

In fact I'm missing other phrases but I guess that If I find where is this one I can find the other ones missing, thanks to anyone who can help me with this.

What do you mean by "session variables"??

Are you saying I should look through and see if something is written more than once in the beginning somewhere? And which PHP file?

I've been totally stumped by my error.... I mean..... an Unknown file on Line 0 is causing an error..... how do I go about troubleshooting that :P

Juanchi, I think that not everything is phrased and some things are in the templates, try looking in the Arcade Hack's various templates for those words. (And then try phrasing them yourself)

MGM out

Thanks MGM but I already look for them at the templates but this an another phrases where not there either, I know this is weird but unless I'm doing something wrong, I have no idea where this phrases could be.

In Arcade.php, search for:

There goes your text ;)

how do u show medals for number of games high scores in post bit? its already activated in arcade panel

Thanks!!!

Hi Boofo,
Yes, it is. I spoke to the Host on the phone for an hour, and he says it has to be in the install script or something. I can connect to the database with VB3, but for some reason this automated process won't do it. Also I'm new so be gentle guys. I really need to finish this installation.... right now the forums are opne, the link is on the main index, and people click it and get errors but no games.

Please help someone.... :(
Beth

LadyBeth, are you having any problems with any other hack installs like this or is this the only one?

I was going to say, it seems like a server setup problem. (I.e. nothing code related.) :ermm:

Fantastic job on this hack John. Very well done.

One small note. When the board is turned off in vb3 Gold, attempting to access the arcade results in an error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_no_permission() in /pathto/arcade.php on line 1352

Again.. Well done. :)

I'm trying to order my games in alphabetical order. I've added this:

but the "ORDER BY shortname asc" orders them in descending order and when I use desc it does the same thing.

Any ideas guys?

My arcade can be viewed here - http://forum.cricketweb.net/arcade.php?

The host suspects that because the username and password are not the same for the database as my admin user name and password, it's an issue. Also it is a very secure server and database and the host is not willing to open it up anymore to install this. (he's also not a VB fan) So....it boils down to having the thing half (or 3/4) installed and people click the link and I get an inbox of error emails. I really need to get this installed. Can anyone help?

I am running vb 3.0 Gamma. I could upgrade to vb 3 gold but I don't see what good it would do for this install. (but if it would I can do that) Also I am relatively new to databases so be gentle.

The install tries to run, but it can't create the table or whatever in the database which is goofy since VB3 knows it has access, but for whatever reason the install script for Arcade doesn't work - the host thinks if the script was modified it would. That is way beyond me at this point.
