I wonder whether there are Chess games available

Edit

I visited the site and saw that Sudoku is also available

The following games are different then the first in that you can't make your own versions of these games, but you may still embed the existing games on ProProfs.com. The example code is probably the only code you need to ever call the game.

Sudoku

Title: Sudoku
BB Code Tag Name: sudoku
Replacement:

Example: [sudoku]26[/sudoku]

In the embed code look for 'FlashVars' value='id=NUMBER' and put NUMBER between the [sudoku] tags.

---

Sudoku X

Title: Sudoku X
BB Code Tag Name: sudokux
Replacement:

Example: [sudokux]27[/sudokux]

In the embed code look for 'FlashVars' value='id=NUMBER' and put NUMBER between the [sudokux] tags.

---

Memory Game

Title: Memory Game
BB Code Tag Name: memory
Replacement:

Example: [memory]48[/memory]

In the embed code look for 'FlashVars' value='id=NUMBER' and put NUMBER between the [memory] tags.

---

Tic Tac Toe

Title: Tic Tac Toe
BB Code Tag Name: tictactoe
Replacement:

Example: [tictactoe]40[/tictactoe]

In the embed code look for 'FlashVars' value='id=NUMBER' and put NUMBER between the [tictactoe] tags. Due to the random nature of the game you could always use the example code.

---

Checkers

Title: Checkers
BB Code Tag Name: checkers
Replacement:

Example: [checkers]93[/checkers]

In the embed code look for 'FlashVars' value='id=NUMBER' and put NUMBER between the [checkers] tags. Due to the random nature of the game you could always use the example code.

---

Chess

Title: Chess
BB Code Tag Name: chess
Replacement:

Example: [chess]93[/chess]

In the embed code look for 'FlashVars' value='id=NUMBER' and put NUMBER between the [chess] tags. Due to the random nature of the game you could always use the example code.

Hi, I installed the bb code, but I have a problem.
In the message preview everything works fine, when I send the message i don't see the flash but only the code
ex. [chess]90[/chess]
any help??

Weird... do you have custom bb codes off or a mod that gives 'advanced' permissions to bb code? DO you have any other custom bb codes working?

Yes I have other custom bb codes perfectly working, and as I said in the preview (either in the admin and in the preview page in the forum) everything works perfectly.
I don't have other Mod relating to bb code.

Can you give me a link to a post where it isn't working?

sent in pm, thanks

nevermind, solved the problem.
thanks for your attention

may I request for the code for http://www.proprofs.com/games/kakuro-daily-game-deluxe/ ?
tia

BB Code Tag Name: kakuro

BB Code Replacement:
Example: [kakuro]3682[/kakuro]

thanks

So you just plug in the code in any thread?

I'm having some problems. Probably where to put the number.

Does something have to be done thru the Admin CP first?

Please advise.

Thanks!!

Yeah, like it says at the start of the first post in Admin CP go to Add A New BB Code and follow the rest of the instructions. For each game you want to use you need to add the BB Code associated with it.

If you've never added a BB Code before you might want to start with a slightly simpler one like this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=247608

I got this when trying to add the bb code:

The following BB Code replacement may not be properly formed. All HTML attributes should be enclosed within double quotes.

<object width='630' height='580'><param name='movie' value='http://www.proprofs.com/games/crossword/swf/crossword_w.swf' /><param name='FlashVars' value='id={param}&level=easy' /> <param name='allowScriptAccess' value='always' /><param name='quality' value='high' /><embed name='proprofs_flashGame' src='http://www.proprofs.com/games/crossword/swf/crossword_w.swf' FlashVars='id={param}&level=easy' width='630' height='580' allowScriptAccess='always' quality='high' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'></embed></object><div style='font-size:10px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000;'><a href='http://www.proprofs.com/games/crossword/' title='make crossword puzzle' target='_blank'>make crossword puzzle</a></div>

OK, I actually got it to work except:

The actual game is not visible (I'm talking the crossword game)

You can safely hit "Continue" and it will work as expected.


You will need to refresh the page to see the game show up if you add it via quick-reply to an existing thread. (The page needs to reload for it to show). If you've done that and it still isn't showing can you give me a link to a page where it should be working? I'll take a look.

Too bad it's just hotlinking other work.
It would be so awesome, if you could have your own words, especially for forums not in english.

While it is linking to other work it is totally OK to do so. ProProfs.com encourages users to embed these games in their own sites by providing the embed code like YouTube and many other sites do. They know with each embedding they grow their brand and it's like free advertisements for them. This isn't "stealing" anything, they give it away, I just made it easy for vBulletin admins to use.

As for non-english words you'd have to contact them.

Is there a way to limit who can use the BBcode for each game?

ahhh - found another one of your mods - Advanced BBCode Permissions
The beta 4.0 version with the post #303 fix seems to work with 4.20

Thanks :)

Not my mod but glad the fix works for you. :up:
