Until an update is released for 4.2 you can follow these steps to set up the arcade navigation system. Shouldn't take any more than a few minutes to do.

1. Disable the plugin - Arcade Navbar Link
2. In the new Navigation Manager, create an Arcade Tab

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: Arcade
Target URL: /arcade.php
Tab Script(s): arcade

3. Now we will create an Arcade Games Link

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: Arcade Games
Target URL: /arcade.php
Parent: Arcade

4. Next, we want to create a View Leaderboard link

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: View Leaderboard
Target URL: /arcade.php?do=leaderboard
Parent: Arcade

5. Now, we need to create a Tournaments dropdown menu. In the Navigation Manager go back to the Arcade Tab we created in step 2 and from the dropdown box choose Add Menu

Product: v3 Arcade
Active: Yes
Title: Tournaments
Parent: Arcade

6. Now we can populate the dropdown menu, first up is Your Tournaments. In the Navigation Manager you should now see a record for Tournaments (Menu); select Add Link

Product: v3 Arcade
Active: Yes
Title: Your Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewyour
Parent: Tournaments

You now want to create the rest of the tournament links following the same steps but replacing the Title and Target URL as follows -

Title: Tournaments Awaiting Players
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewwaiting

Title: Active Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewactive

Title: Finished Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewfinished

Title: Start A Tournament
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=newtourmnt

7. Now, one final link to create for Edit Your Settings, in the Arcade (Tab) record select Add Link

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: Edit Your Arcade Settings
Target URL: /profile.php?do=editarcade
Parent: Arcade

You will need to set the permissions according to your setup, ie admin, guest, member etc in the Show Permission Name box.

For the AdminCP help


Or use https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=283123 for more options.

Fixed it. I had tournaments disabled in the Arcade settings in the Admin CP. I had turned it off when I thought we had the same arcade, the one that had a security issue, that KHV had.

Hello -

Where are the links to challenge someone? This was one of my favorite features of v3arcade, but I can't find it anywhere. I would have asked sooner, but I figured it would eventually jump out at me.

I was just playing some games at an ibpro arcade site, and they have have a nifty feature where a challenge link for each game. When you click it, it opens up a popup window where you can select users by username from a dropdown, or use a search box. I suppose there is something similar here, but I can't for the life of me find it.

Do you know if they have any plans to unhide this. or if a mod is in the works? I really like the way the method I showed you, that lets you choose your opponent from the droptdown. The only improvement I'd make to their presentation would be to have the challenge in the V3ARCADE_PLAY template, right below the plugin you made to "Add to Favorites". I think that would be the most likely spot for user activity. What do you think?

Well, I finally figured out how to move the challenge option out of the basement and somewhere easier to find. Not a rocket science solution, but here it is:

I pasted this into the postbit template:

Still hope sombody will make the link beside each game, so when a user is playing it, he/she has the option to select a user to challenge like I mentioned above. But making something that fancy is way beyond my abilities.
