vb 4.0 compatibilty?

Has work begun on this mod to make it compatible with vBulletin 4.0 coming out late this year/early next?

That's a good point. I certainly can't have a situation on my own forum where there's no arcade for any amount of time, the members would hate it.

Unless the author is on the alpha team there is no way to be able to start to make things compatible with newer version. Hopefully if he is not then there will not be that many changes needed to the actual code. Templates for 4 are supposed to be vastly different so that area will need a heavy re-write.

To be fair, we know the template syntax. It's here:

MrZeroPage do you by chance have any information regarding this?

same here..
im sure i'll be done.. just take some time i suppose

I hope we can get some news ASAP, our users like this tools a lot!

Any Information on this? :confused:

A Lot of us are waiting for info for vb4.

Last post by the author, according to his profile was around July time

If you really think about it,,,ibproarcade only uses one vb template..

And knowing my luck, it will be that one template that screws up my board lol

So far,,looks like some conditionals will need to be changed..

i dont think i can upgrade to vb4 until this mod is upgraded. it is the pivot of my forum

I'm interested to know the answer as well.

I'm the same way unfortunately.

I think you can convert to v3 but i'm not entirely sure

me too

Its not compatible with vB4!

I really need a vB4-compatible version of ibProArcade if I'm going to upgrade my forums. It's a show-stopper deluxe!

I have the main part of ibproarcade working with vb4.0 right now..
Still need to work on the css tho..

How is it working on your end? do you modified files and templates?

Will you post the needed changes here, or will it be available form your site?

Is the mod author still available, sadly, i dont see any recent activity from him

I did some template and php edits to get it to work..

I`m trying to get up with MrZeropage before posting anything..

That's great.

I have upgraded my forum to vb4 and trying to change arcade template and files as well, but it is very hard for me cause I don't understand most codes. :(

ditto.. Messed around some here but with no real progress.

Unfortunately will remain Disabled for now :eek:

I sent MrZeropage a PM some days ago with question about his commitment to bring this addon to vB4, but still no reply.

What all would it take stangger to make the mod available for you to take over?

Ohhh july? Is a lot of time!:(

I don't know what the rules are here about editing someone elses work,
so if the mods feel this is "over the line" then please delete.

I take absolutely no credit for ibproarcade, it is a fantastic mod and so good, it was essential I get it up and running on VB4.

Perhaps there are better ways to do this and there could be glitches, but here is what I did to get my arcade back.

First, this assumes you still have ibproarcade installed.

Step 1: Log into Admin, deactive "ibProArcade: ARCADE Template Cache"
(Perhaps someone else can help with this plugin)

Step 2: Erase and replace your ARCADE template with the following:

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">

  <head>

    <title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</title>

    {vb:raw headinclude}

  </head>

  <body>

    {vb:raw header}

    {vb:raw navbar}

    <div id="pagetitle">

      <h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>

    </div>

    <h2 class="blockhead">Arcade</h2>

    <div class="blockbody">

      <div class="blockrow">

  {vb:raw arcadeheader}

  {vb:raw maincontent}

      </div>

    </div>

    {vb:raw footer}

  </body>

</html>

Step 3:

Locate the arcade standard file functions.php in /arcade/functions/
Near line 1345 you will see the following:

Code:

// HTML-TITLE DONE :)

$debug = false;

$navbits = $output_array['NAV'];

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

eval('$navbar="' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

eval('$footer="' . fetch_template('footer') . '";');

$maincontent = $this->to_print;

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('ARCADE') . '");');

exit;

Erase this code and replace with:

Code:

// HTML-TITLE DONE :)

$debug = false;

$navbits = $output_array['NAV'];

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Arcade'));

$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

$maincontent = $this->to_print;

$templater = vB_Template::create('ARCADE');

$templater->register_page_templates();

$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);

$templater->register('footer', $footer);

$templater->register('pagetitle', 'Arcade');

$templater->register('maincontent', $maincontent);

$templater->register('arcadeheader', $arcadeheader);

print_output($templater->render());

exit;

Step 4:

Edit your index.php file in root to support the score saving routine by adding the following code at or near the top of the index.php file.

Code:

// ibProArcade modification

if($_POST['module'] == "pnFlashGames"){

$_GET[act] = "Arcade";

$_GET['module'] = "arcade";

}



if($_POST['module'] == "pnFlashGames"){

$_GET[autocom] = "arcade";

$_GET['module'] = "arcade";

}



if($_POST['func'] == "storeScore"){

$_GET['do'] = "pnFStoreScore";

}



if($_POST['func'] == "saveGame"){

$_GET['do'] = "pnFSaveGame";

}



if($_POST['func'] == "loadGame"){

$_GET['do'] = "pnFLoadGame";

}



$act = $_GET[act];

$showuser= $_GET[showuser];



if($act == "Arcade") {

include "arcade.php";

exit();

}



if($act == "autocom") {

include "arcade.php";

exit();



}



if(!empty($showuser) && $showuser >= 1) {

$u = $showuser;

$_GET[u] = $showuser;

include "member.php";

exit();

}



// end of ibProArcade modification

Hopefully this will work for you. I am by no means a pro so don't bust my chops if this don't work for you.
Just trying to get a patch out there until the REAL coders provides a better solution.

One more note... Be sure to make a backup of your index.php file as - like me - I am sure you will overwrite it with future VB4 updates.

Oh an props to Lynne for her consolidated article here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228112
It helped me get the idea behind this alteration.

Well done cory_booth :)

Your patch worked for me, but the template is not looking good, I think it require some CSS editing too..

Still not bad for now, thanks so much mate.

well done will keep my members happy untill true fix is brought out

Can those that have done this "hack" give us a link to the vB4-compatible ibProArcade site you have upgraded? So that we can see how the end-result is supposed to be.

i think it looks ok.
problem i have is that scores dont save :( and yes i edited index.php in the root forums folder.

My arcade is members only.

But here is a screen shot of how it looks. (I have some other modifications in place).

As others have said, there could be some layout glitches.
I personally have no desire to start tackling css issues until VB4 Gold is out.
I am more than happy to have the few glitches exist until later on when the dust settles.

I have a few that don't save. Score saving is one of those battles that is hard to pin down.
Could be the game, could be the script, could be the edit, could be the timeout setting.

I have confirmed on my arcade that the majority of games do save, but yes, a couple don't.
On the other hand, those games that don't might not have saved before VB4 either - hard for me to tell.

One more note...

My little hack does nothing to modify layout or format of your arcade.
The arcade still processes the 3.8 (or prior) layout scripts.

the only difference is instead of exporting these scripts to the legacy (3.8) VB template functions, it now exports these scripts to the VB4 template functions.

The layout is determined by the /arcade/skins/ directory depending on the setting you have in the arcade (V3 or IBPRO layout). I made no changes to those files.

Cory, my hat of to you.
you have done a great job in getting this incorporated into the v4 setup.
i think the template looks fine.
thanks alot mate, my members remain happy :)

I have the same. I tried multiple games, also games of which I knew they were saving the scores before.. No luck though. All I get is this message:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If anyone has an idea it would be greatly appreciated :)

I tested few games, I see no problem in saving scores.

woot

Applied edits and default games save score no problem, uploaded a couple to test with, and they seem to sit on transferring score, But thanks for sharing your code edits sofar.
