Firsty KW802, thank you so much for this modification. It's a brilliant add on for our forums and our users love it.

I seem to be having some real issues mass importing games. We're running VB 3.8.6 PL1. The following folders are CHMOD 0777:

/admincp/games
/games
/images/arcade

If I've got this correct I need to do the following: Download V3 games, extract them and upload the entire contents of the extracted file to admincp/games.

Once complete in the admincp I need to browse to V3 Arcade >>> Import Games. once here I use the V3 Arcade mass Game Import and I specify the path admincp/games.

In theory the system should pick up any games I've uploaded to admincp/games. it doesn't, instead I get an error message stating "There are no more games to import."

I've looked on google and looked in the php files themselves but unfortunately my understanding is limited. I have reinstalled the arcade system twice including by re-uploading the files.

Nothing at all has worked so far.

Again, really appreciate this brilliant hack and any advice you can give on where I could be going wrong would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Clearly you're no longer supporting the system. Sorry to take up your time, I'll look for something else.

I'm using the 2.0.0 (vB3) v3 Arcade Stats Module for vBAdvanced CMPS found here and I'm having some problems.

I had this installed for a while and it worked fine. I moved the module from 1 side to another and now i'm getting the following error:

Fatal error:  Call to a member function do_parse() on a non-object in /home/xwnet/public_html/pts1/modules/arcadestats.php on line 141

any and all help is appreciated... thanks

(I posted over there with no response, hoping some1 can help me here.)

Checking in....

@Everybody: If you are using Mochi, be sure to grab the 2.0.3 update from v3Arcade.com; didn't realize I haven't updated the version here yet. If you are using vBulletin 4, we have just released v3A 2.0.1 for vBulletin 4 earlier today.

@Kila Bite: The primary place for support is at v3Arcade.com; support is provided here as time permits. The next time I refresh the first post I will make that more clear.

@Nando99: I must've missed that one. Please PM a link to the thread at v3A or bump the thread so it catches my attention.

@lubbie, @ComoEstaEso-com, @Leothefox: You guys/gals must've gotten the email. Glad to hear the new version is working out.

To insert the automatic navbar link it relies upon the "navbar_buttons_{location}" template hook in the "navbar" template.

In your custom style's "navbar" template, make sure these lines are present in there...

$template_hook[navbar_buttons_left]
$template_hook[navbar_buttons_right]

If you need help, just let me know.
