This Hack was originally done for Invision Power Board (IPB) by Chris Kelly and later adapted to work within vBulletin 3.0.x but had no real integrated AdminCP and even some illegal licensed Files from IPB included, so it was removed from official vBulletin-Sites.

ibProArcade for vBulletin comes along with a complete new AdminCP with even more options and improved functionality, has been bugfixed alot and I implemented some additional feature that where missing. All known security-issues found have been fixed.

ibProArcade is full compatible to PHP4 and PHP5 and works with all vBulletin 3.x.x (yes, 3.0.x + 3.5.x + 3.6.x + 3.7.x + 3.8.x) with all the same Scripts !
ibProArcade v2.7.5+ and later is full compatible to PHP5.6 and PHP7 and works with all vBulletin-versions 3.x/4.x with all the same Scripts !
PHP7.0/7.1 require minimum vBulletin 3.8.11 or 4.2.5 and ibProArcade v2.7.5+

Installation of ibProArcade is very simple and easy:

vBulletin 3.0.x
upload the Files
run the Installer
edit 4 PHP-Files
edit 3 Templates
add 1 new Template


vBulletin 3.5.x & 3.6.x & 3.7.x & 3.8.x & 4.x.x
upload the Files
import the Product-XML-File
edit 3 Templates



If you are upgrading from an existing Arcade, some information:

• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.6.6+ and older) check the included Upgrade-Information (look in Archive)
• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.5.1) just do everything like a fresh installation, your Games and Scores should be kept automatically
• For existing v3arcade-Installations (v1.0.x) for vBulletin 3.5/3.6 there is the converter available.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who helped in the 3 months of development, testing and bugfixing the initial v2.5.3+ (in alphabetical order):

does this mean the latest downloadable version of vbArcade (2.7.2) doesn't work out of the box with the latest version of VB ? (4.2 ? )

I'd rather just wait for him to update it...if he ever does. That seems like a lot of manual updates.

Hippy -
Spoke with my hosts and Rewrite mode is available and ON, must be written directly via htaccess

we did that and still nothing ?
will peeks agan tomorrow

[TheChief]

has anyone had any issues with the scores being recorded when they upgraded to 4.2?

The games all work fine but the highscores don't register and it sits on the same page doing nothing until you refresh or head back to the forum

[Hippy]

did you try this ?
do you use forum or suite

as per
edit your .htaccess If you have one

add

  # Send hardcoded ipa scores to arcade instead
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} act=Arcade [OR]
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} autocom=arcade
  RewriteRule ^index.php arcade.php [L,QSA]

under

  RewriteEngine on

if you don't have a .htaccess file ,make one and add this to it and upload to your root dir

  RewriteEngine on

  # Send hardcoded ipa scores to arcade instead
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} act=Arcade [OR]
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} autocom=arcade
  RewriteRule ^index.php arcade.php [L,QSA]

if your RewriteEngine is not one this will not work
ask your host to enable it

Hey Chief,

Read the last 10+ replies before your post and you'll see I am having the same problem.
Included in the replies are some fixes that I have tried and that Hippy has suggested.

Try them, so far none have worked for me mate as I still have no score posting page, it goes default to the new damn streaming / activity page NOT index.php = index.php doesn't exist anymore!

Try your domain and then index like so = www.mydomain.com/index.php

you'll see the index.php directs you now to the streaming page * activity.php* where ibProarcade relies upon index.php

This is the problem I think. I have tried editing the file myself to point to different locations and it takes me to all other pages including custom pages I have made, but NOT to the submit score page..

Hopefully they will fix this to work with VB v 4.2 ASAP as it does NOT work right now.

[Hippy]

Go into your navigation manager. Click on forum. Then the drop window set as default this will also it from redirecting to the activity stream. This has been the first arcade I didn't fix in a couple tries..I think there is more going on there with server configuration... I have update forums / suites with what I posted and all are working.. with the htaccss resort /rewrite ..

[mikeinjersey]

so i'm guessing it doesn't work out of the box with the latest version.

Is he gonna hop on anytime and make an update ? seems like a lot needs updating.

I shall keep the arcade disabled until then.
