PNflashgames does even offer Multiplayer-Games.


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):

I have tried it with the full path including www.politikstube.de of course and without.

What MKPortal does is to add a Line at functions.php :



Why does this not work for this Arcade ?

The fix I posted had nothing to do with portals. It resolved the vbseo problem of not saving game comments.

In the navbar, how do I make it so the link to the arcade only shows if the user is in certain usergroups? (ie. Forum Leader, Registered User, Admin)

Is this normal?

That's the problem. It seems it is doing a query for each stat for each post. If you want the awards and crowns in postbit turned on, that is what you will get.

[dan35]

IC!
Thx, Boofo!

[Jenta]

Wonder if theres a way to cache that data daily or something with a cron job and eliminate the queries. I don't see a need for it to be a real time statistic.

Btw, I presume the badwords table is just a leftover from IBP and we can delete that table?

[C_P]

Good news and bad news.
The install and functionality went without a hitch. Great instructions and EXCELLENT program!
However, I too am getting the

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class db_driver in /home/cpfools/public_html/mkportal/include/mk_mySQL.php on line 7

error after playing a game when it looks to save the score I am not sure.
I looked at the now imfamous post #301 and not sure this is my answer to fix. If so, I would love a little bit better step by step on what file and where to edit this file if possible for all of us mkportal users?
Thank you VERY much!
