Small hack to allow game installations from a remote server (with 1550 or so games)

I do need this tested - as the way I set it up its just a bit of a pain to test myself

With my limited testing, it appears to work - and since my addition is about three lines of code, (plus a copy/paste/modification of another 10 or 15 lines) - not much to mess up here - but if there is a way - I will always find it.

Attached - and link below

• Just fixed one small file location error I noticed when pasting in the code below

http://sportsforum.ws/_arcade.phps

oh - and since I didnt mention it - copy your arcade.php file in the admincp folder to a backup name, and then save the above file as arcade.php

This is the changes I made to the original

Find

PHP Code:


        $header = array();
        $header[] = "<div align='center'>".$ibforums->lang['acp_game_targame']."</div>";
        $header[] = $ibforums->lang['acp_game_tarfile'] ;
        $header[] = $ibforums->lang['acp_gamesort_game'];
        $header[] = "<div align='center'>".$ibforums->lang['acp_game_tararchive']."</div>";
        $colspan = sizeof($header); 


Above it Add

PHP Code:

        $header = array();
        $header[] = "<div align='center'>Download Games</div>";
        $header[] = $ibforums->lang['acp_game_tarfile'] ;
        $header[] = "<div align='center'>Grab & Install</div>";
        $colspan = sizeof($header);

        print_table_header("Download Games", $colspan);
        print_description_row("Download and Install games from <b><a href='http://sportsforum.ws/' target='_blank'>FSW</a></b>", 0, $colspan);
        print_cells_row($header, 1);

        $files = unserialize(file_get_contents("http://sportsforum.ws/arcade/tar/tars"));



                $install_link = "";
                if( count($files) > 0 )
                {
                        foreach( $files as $this_file )
                        {
                                $name = preg_replace( "/^(game)_(.+?)\.(\S+)$/", "\\2", $this_file );

                                $DB->query("SELECT gid, gname FROM ibf_games_list WHERE gname='".$name."'");
                                if(!$DB->get_num_rows() )
                                {
                                        $install_link = "<a href='arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]&amp;code=external_tar_install&amp;file=$this_file'>".$ibforums->lang['acp_game_tar_install']."</a>";
                                $cell = array();
                                $cell[] = "<div align='center'><b>".$name."</b></div>";
                                $cell[] = "<div align='center'>".$this_file."</div>";
                                $cell[] = "<div align='center'>".$install_link."</div>";
                                   print_cells_row($cell);
                }
                        }
                }
                else
                {
                print_description_row("<div align='center'>- <i>".$ibforums->lang['acp_game_tar_empty']."</i> -</div>", 0, $colspan);
                }

        print_table_break('', "90%"); 


Find

PHP Code:

// ##############################
// TAR install
// ############################## 


Above it Add

PHP Code:

if ($action == "external_tar_install")
{

file_put_contents( getcwd()."/arcade/tar/".basename($IN['file']),file_get_contents("http://sportsforum.ws/arcade/tar/".$IN['file']));
$action="tar_install";


} 


Thats it. As I said not much to mess up

I just gave this a whirl and it did not work. The error listed is:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_put_contents() in /home/site/public_html/admincp/arcade.php on line 2525

That line of code is your code.

You cant use file_put_contents()?



Wait - thats a php5 one isnt it?

Just ran over to php.net - figured there would be a cheap substitute siting there for php4 - and there was (cheap - there was a better one - but this one was shorter and I assume it works - dont need anything other than writing the file

PHP Code:

if (!function_exists('file_put_contents')) {
function file_put_contents($n,$d) {
  $f=@fopen($n,"w");
  if (!$f) {
   return false;
  } else {
   fwrite($f,$d);
   fclose($f);
   return true;
  }
}
} 


Throw that in above the last section - man - life without file_put_contents - I wouldnt even remember to how to write a file anymore
