How do I get the arcade access to work?
 

I turned off access under v3arcade and turned on 'Can this group purchase Arcade Access?' in vbPlaza for each usergroup, but am not able to access the arcade.

these are the settings that we need to be given extended instructiuoins on...either from CMX, or someone who has it working.....

cant wait to get charging me members to play...lol

I had the same problem guys..

after setting that option in the usergroup manager you have to then set 'No' for the Arcade Permissions in the usergroup manager (same page) for can play arcade/ can view arcade.

I did that. Now no one can play.

i have the same sort of troubles

The way to setup Arcade Access to make it so users MUST purchase access is quite simple:

Lets use Registered Users for example:

1) Set the arcade permissions to no for 'Can View Arcade' and 'Can Play Arcade.'

2) Then set the vbBux/vbPlaza option for "Can Purchase Arcade Access."

This will make it so all registered users will not be able to play the arcade unless they purchase the "Arcade Access" item from the vbPlaza.

If you do not wish for the usergroup to have to purchase Arcade Access, then simply set the Arcade Permissions for "Can View Arcade" and "Can Play Arcade" to Yes. And leave the "Can Purchase Arcade Access" set to No for the vbBux / vbPlaza option.

Thanks man. I had 'can view' still on.

thats excellent CMX, thanks for explaining that..
now..on the flip side of that....

if i want regged users to access and play arcade, but without having to buy access with pass...thats sorted above...but theres no clear indication anywhere that the user is being charged to play a game??

is there anything different that neeeds setting up to get this to work, or is it done using those settings u mentioned above, but its just not that obvious?

its a no go for me.. tried it but it won't work :(

i feel so noob or something near to that because i don't get it working...

this is what i did

on my site it was required to have at least 1 post to be able to play arcade.
so i made an user test
gave him 50 postcount
1000000 points


so logged in and bought arcade access

and then i get this error

test, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

well the account is enabled so that is not the issue

normally a user is only allowed to play arcade if they are member of arcade permissions... so thats what is making it extra confusing for me

By default all users are charged to play the arcade, I'll be adding a new usergroup setting for vbBux / vbPlaza so that certain usergroups can play for free anyways.

This hack will modify the permission variables to GIVE the arcade permissions if they have purchased Arcade Access. If its not working properly, I'd need to access your Admin CP with Can Administer Plugins to try and track down the issue. It's possible there's a bug that doesnt affect all v3 Arcade Owners as its working for me using the above steps at www.vbplaza.com.
