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):

This error is from my admin panel under Arcade menu.

ERROR: Cannot find database <removed>  

    There is a SQL error.
    You can contact the board administrator by clicking here

mySQL query error: SELECT * FROM ahgames_settings

mySQL error: 
mySQL error code: 
Date:

I tried editing the arcade.php to reflect the new mysqli statement,

$sql_driver = FUNCTIONS_PATH . "dbclass_mysqli.php";

but still does not connect. Am I missing something obvious?

[stangger5]

Did you upload and overwrite admincp/arcade.php and the includes folder files with the new one`s from 2.7.5+?

I think I should read the config.php and use the value from there, to always fit the right database-driver... hmmmm first feature for v2.7.6

The best I can tell, that's what you're already doing. It was because I had the config.php file set to "mysql" that the wrong dbclass file was being read. Your product was functioning correctly, it was because I had the wrong value in my config.php file that the problem occurred.

You have the following code in arcade.php:

PHP Code:

// support for mysqli by MrZeropage
if ((strtolower($config['Database']['dbtype']) == "mysqli") && ($MYSQLI == 1))
{
    $sql_driver = FUNCTIONS_PATH . "dbclass_mysqli.php";
} 


That was what led me to check my config.php file, and there I discovered I needed to edit that file to define the db as "mysqli" and once I did everything worked flawlessly.

Brand new install using ibProArcade 2.7.5+.zip

vbulletin 4.2.3
php 5.6

[MrZeropage]

@hirlas:

Cannot find database <removed>

This is strange... looks like it does not find the DB itself ?!

Your TABLE_PREFIX seems to be "ah"
Which database-type you defined in /config.php?

For personal support, provide AdminCP-Account and FTP-Access via PM (!) to me, then I take a look and find the problem

[snakes1100]

Just updated a working arcade to the latest version on a 4.2.5 board, this has resulted in the same error as hirlas.

ERROR: Cannot find database xxxxxxx

mySQL query error: SELECT arcade_access, p_require FROM usergroup WHERE usergroupid = 1

Flipped a few switches, to give some more insite:

Problem solved

Was a weird problem, the database-connect was working fine with "localhost" while "localhost:3306" responded "connection refused". No idea why. Fixed by removing the port (setting it to empty).

I will include a setting for this in upcoming v2.7.6+ so that anybody having connection problems can easily switch the behaviour of the database-driver...


@snakes1100:
Enjoy ibProArcade :up:


@hirlas:
Please also try this:

open /arcade.php

search for

require $sql_driver; 
$DB = new db_driver;

ABOVE that, add:

// fix for mysqli-connection-problems (by MrZeropage)
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = "";
$port = "";
