Sometimes I forget that not everyone has 1280x1024 ...

I'll look into this ok guys ?

OK - I've created the new function to populate the menu with only the N most played games - atm the value of N will be hardcoded by you the hacker into your global.php (where the function is called), but for the next release (which will have this variant as an option) I will add it to the Arcade ACP Options page (once I learn how to do ACP options LOL) - I will not be updating the original instructions until the next release ...

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE ONLY N MOST POPULAR OPTIONS

Find in includes/functions.php

PHP Code:

// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch
function genArcadeMenu() {
    global $DB_site,$vboptions;
    $theseGames = $DB_site->query("SELECT gameid,title,gamesettings FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games ORDER BY title");
    while ($thisGame = $DB_site->fetch_array($theseGames)) {
        $arcmenu.= (is_int($thisGame[gamesettings]/2)) ? "" : "\t\t<tr><td class=\"vbmenu_option\"><a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]do=play&amp;gameid=".$thisGame[gameid]."\">".$thisGame[title]."</a></td></tr>\n";
    }
    return $arcmenu;
}
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch
function genArcadeMenu($limit) {
    global $DB_site,$vboptions;
    $theseGames = $DB_site->query("
                    SELECT " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games.gameid AS gameid, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games.title AS title, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games.gamesettings as gamesettings, COUNT(" . TABLE_PREFIX . "gamesessions.gamename) AS popularity 
                    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games 
                    INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "gamesessions 
                    ON " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games.shortname = " . TABLE_PREFIX . "gamesessions.gamename 
                    GROUP BY title 
                    ORDER BY popularity DESC 
                    LIMIT $limit
                    ");
    while ($thisGame = $DB_site->fetch_array($theseGames)) {
        $arcmenu.= (is_int($thisGame[gamesettings]/2)) ? "" : "\t\t<tr><td class=\"vbmenu_option\"><a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]do=play&amp;gameid=".$thisGame[gameid]."\">".$thisGame[title]."</a></td></tr>\n";
    }
    return $arcmenu;
}
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch 


Find in global.php

PHP Code:

// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch
    $nav_arcade = genArcadeMenu();
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch
    $nav_arcade = genArcadeMenu("6");
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch 


This should do it ... change the value in the global function call (above) to match your required number of menu options ...
