Add-On Releases - v3 Arcade - Professional vBulletin Gaming (vB4)

v3 Arcade is now a member of the vBadvanced family!

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47571

The support forums & data from v3Arcade.com have been merged into the vBadvanced.com site.



=================================
v3 Arcade for vBulletin 4.x.x
For vBulletin 3.x.x, please see here.
=================================

Please note... until v3Arcade.com is upgraded to vBulletin 4, some demo sites can be found here. Also, because of styling changes introduced in vB 4.0.8 to allow customized user profile pages, this version requires 4.0.8+ to be installed.

"v3 Arcade" is the premiere arcade system written specifically for vBulletin. It's coded from scratch - not a port of an older version - and because it was coded specifically for vBulletin it uses the product system for code modifications & utilizes AJAX technology throughout. Here's a brief rundown of the features in this version of v3 Arcade.

v3 Arcade for vBulletin 4 also has some feature differences versus v3 Arcade for vBulletin 3. Currently that list includes....

• The separate Arcade navbar has been replaced with the options being moved up to the standard vB navbar. Be sure to turn on the navbar link! (ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade General Settings => Navbar Link Position)
• When viewing a game categories other than the 'All' category, the category name will now be included in the navbar breadcrumbs.
• Added a new template "v3arcade_postbit_userid_trophy_wrapper" to allow adding some HTML around the arcade award images in the postbit.
• The category tabs shown on the main page will use the vB styling instead of their own defined styles. As we go forward the vB4 version of v3A will lose more & more of it's custom styling and instead use more of the new vB4 styling features elements.
• New option to display a "New" game category tab that will display all games in newest to oldest order. In addition to the new tab a "New Games" link will also be shown in the vB "What's New" navbar link. (ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade Homepage Settings => Display "New" Category Tab)

Do you know what coding is needed to add an image to the "Arcade Welcome Message". I've tried <img> but doesn't work. Any ideas?

I have two things right now. First, the navbar in the arcade is sowing links from two different tabs. Is this possible to fix? It makes it very hard to figure out what I'm clicking on. It appears it might be showing both the links for Forum and Arcade, as both appear to be selected at the same time. I have attached a screenshot to show what I'm talking about.

Also, I would like to add that publisher bridge javascript provided by Mochi directly into my Homepage of the arcade. I want it to be displayed on the same page that users see when first entering the arcade. For me, I have it set to default to the "New" tab upon entering. However, I would also like for it to appear at the top of the page no matter what tab is being viewed. I would also like for it to be placed at the top of the page in activity stream. I am not very experienced at this yet, so any insight as to where I need to place the code would be awesome.

Try searching and you'll find the answers.

I am seeing this error:

Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in [path]/arcade.php on line 2901

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/arcade.php on line 2901

please help!

Does the error disappear once someone has won an arcade crown?

Gemma, you are a diamond in the rough, lol,

Unbelievable how much you lend yourself to support this mod, when you don't have to,

Many thanks, very, very appreciated, it isn't said often enough, so thanks for all you do,

A HUGE Thank You! I love this!!! The other one (pushed around here ) was tested on one of my sites briefly (a couple years ago). I disliked it immediately and removed it the same day. This one rocks!

Question: I have a CMS site and like to add the hack I saw here, but this link is broken:
