but thats without the proper files.


i do give up.

Success. it installed templates to styleid 1 but not the rest. i had not got my styleid 1 set to show up.
Thanks for trying to help The Sandman

Best hack i ever had on my forum,great job!!
The only negative is the phrasing,++++ i'm trying to do this by myself,but needs many time to spend.... :(

;)

This is a fantastic mod

I have Vbulletin 3.0.3 up and running and the only hitch was in the file includes/showthread.php the following is not there anymore
"// ###################### Start getreputationimage #######################"

Inserting the necessary code in where I next saw "reputation" code blew up cookies and all threads were not accessible.

So I used a little common sense and looked again, the code insertion was near the top so I popped it in above what looked like a new external function call for the reputation image.

here is what my file looks like that works fine with 3.0.3 now - note the // hack and // hack end comments delimiting the inseted arcade hack code.

require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');
//hack
if ($arcadegeneral['awardson']==1) {
// declares the arcade image directory
$stylevar['imgdir_arcade'] = "images/arcade";
$arcade_result = $DB_site->query("SELECT shortname,title,gamesettings,highscorerid,highscor e,miniimage,gameid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games ");
while ($arcade = $DB_site->fetch_array($arcade_result)){
if (($arcade[gamesettings] & $_GAMESCHECK['showaward'])){
$awards[$arcade[shortname]]['userid'] = $arcade['highscorerid'];
$awards[$arcade[shortname]]['gametitle'] = $arcade['title'];
$awards[$arcade[shortname]]['icon'] = $arcade['miniimage'];
$awards[$arcade[shortname]]['highscore'] = $arcade['highscore'];
$awards[$arcade[shortname]]['gameid'] = $arcade['gameid'];
}
}
}
//end hack
require_once('./includes/functions_reputation.php');

i'm having a problem with individual game installations. since i've upgraded, i've been getting this error when i try to install a new game:

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /forum/games/zookeeper.game.php on line 13

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp:/home:/usr/home:/usr/local/bin:/usr/share/') in /forum/games/zookeeper.game.php on line 13

perhaps i'm just installing it wrong. can someone give me a quick reply on exactly where to put the files?

so far, i put the images files in the /images/arcade folder (the .gifs)
i put the .swf and .php install file in the /games folder and run the .php from the browser.

it doesn't work and i get the above error. anyone have any ideas?

This hack works with 3.0.3.

Perfect install. Such a relief.

nice hack but i can't install :(

whene i press the "Add Templates" button (first step) i got blank page !

can any one help me ?

thanks,

Nvm, I got it to work perfectly

I need some help!

I edited all of the php files, then went to access my forums. I am getting this error on my forum home:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/texasatv/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php
Line: 3827

Here is the code I edited. I thought I did everything correct? Can someone please help me!

$stylevar['outerdivwidth'] = $stylevar['outertablewidth'] . 'px';
}
else
{
$stylevar['outerdivwidth'] = $stylevar['outertablewidth'];
}
// declares the arcade image directory
$stylevar['imgdir_arcade'] = "images/arcade";
// get CSS width for divwidth from tablewidth
if (strpos($stylevar['tablewidth'], '%') === false)
{
$stylevar['divwidth'] = $stylevar['tablewidth'] . 'px';
}
else if ($stylevar['tablewidth'] == '100%')

hmm how did u solve this problem of urs? i am getting the same situation.

I couldnt be bothered repeating the process of creating the styles again so that the templates would be inherited, so i went into Style Manager-> All Style options. Then i chose the styles that didnt have the templates, selected Edit Settings from the drop down menu and at the top I changed the Parent style to be the one with the installed templates.

It just means that i have 1 parent style and 3 Child Styles of that group now, rather than 4 parent styles.

damn.... still cant solve the prob. getting this error again and again:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home3/me/myname/www/forum/includes/functions.php on line 2853

alright stupid me.... LOL got the prob solved somehow :D thanks for the help, beth :D

What happens if I upgrade to 3.03? The arcade does not work anymore... Any solutions?

You did go back through and make all the source code changes again, right?

Good to hear. Anyone that has re-done all their work on version 3.0.3 I strongly suggest you record it somewhere so you don't have the same problem trying to get it to work again if you needed to use 3.0.3 for a fresh install or anthing like that. I didnt record it after trying me test forums and it was quite stupid of me not to so i would have a speedy upgrade of it to 3.0.3 on my live forums.

I installed this mod and I have a small, well sorta small problem.

I did all the template changes for two of my 4 skins..

Default Liquid
-----Default Fixed

White Powder Liquid
-----White Powder Fixed

I did the edits for the two Liquid versions. I figured they would auto do it for the child skins.

So when everything was complete. I found out that I get blank pages on all the arcade pages on every skin accept White Powder Fixed. This doesn't make any sense.

So I went back and checked to see if the edits got erased some how. They didn't..

You can see here..

http://symptales.net/forums/?styleid=1

Please try and see how the arcade only shows up on White Powder Fixed.

I did skip one edit in the php files.

In the includes/functions_showthread.php

I couldn't find

// ###################### Start getreputationimage #######################

What should I do? Could that be the problem?

If you read through the thread for the last few pages you'd have the answer to the getreputationimage.

Instead of putting the code into functions_showthread.php above this:
Put it above this:

anyone have an answer to this? please help!

the php file needs to be in the admincp folder.

Ok thanks.

hmm..it still didn't fix my problem with the skins. Any ideas for that?

Sorry I've no idea. I'm only a learner at this stuff. The solution i had for my problem was only worked out through what made sense on a test board so maybe someone with more experience can help.
Good luck. :)

can anyone else help me with my skin problem?

any body here ? :ermm:

OMG, you are the best! i feel so stupid...well, i am so stupid.. but thank you thank you.

Does anyone know how to help me?

Thanks ^_^

Can anyone offer me a fix????

It installed fime and everything, but when the link to it is clicked, by me, other admins/mods, or members, it says they don't have permission to access it. I checked all usergroup permissions and everything, but it still persists...

Nvm, i figured it out. I forgot to edit the global.php file. Thats what i get for trying to do it at 6am, after working w/ coding for the last 15 hours ^_^;;

Thanks, works great!

Just a quick question. Is there any Multiplayer games for this great hack so many users can play together? I had no chance to go deeper and investigate this myself, so if anyone could answer this I'll appreciate that.

Bump.. :(

the images have to be inside the forum folder in images/arcade
