Random Arcade for vbAdvanced CMPS

This will display a random arcade game in a side box or Evan a center box if desired.

Install is in the zip.

Hope it don't sux like the Coppermine hack. lol
Coppermine is freeware and I do applaud them for their fine work.

Let me know if you need help.

Idea and part of the code is from Chris-FH hack - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=random+arcade

I added an image and converted to cmps and changed the template.

Nice one tcs. However, I've noticed if you have disabled games, it shows these too. I have a load of games that I release in drip-fashion. What needs changing in the code to exclude disabled games?

I will look into that on the disabled games.

Thanks tcs.

thanks for great module.
i have seen this on numerous sites, i know it works, and works well.

when i make this module active, i get white screen or action cancelled screen.

i have looked over everything 5 or 6 times i have no idea.

if i take the random_arcade.php out of the files to include, the template shows up,
but when i put to incude the .php, the whole thing goes bad.....

what could it be ?

thanks

You have the Template name in the wrong box by the sounds of it. Make sure it is in the Templates to include box.

An since you know me,, you can call me bro and I will help you install it. (Think "V")

LOL !!

I'm not sure if this is still supported but changing the first line of the template from

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center">

to

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center">

makes it fit better with the standard arcade templates (cellspacing ).

Great module btw, cheers.

Just a note of caution....

I upgraded one of the sites to 3.0.5 and this hack broke some portions of it..

I would get the error:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
yada yada /modules/random_arcade.php
Line 11

Out of pure curiousity - I removed

?>

and all is well.

While I had this on the cmps_index page - it worked fine - but I have the left bar showing on several other pages - and once I got into the forums - it would break.

Remove the ending seems to have solved the issue.

I'm not seeing the image, when looking at the properties of where the image should be I see

PHP Code:

portal/forum//snake1.gif

I've ran this hack for a few months without problem. Upgraded VB 3.0.3 -> 3.0.5 and still ran flawlessly for a atleast 4 full days. Then all of a sudden one day this hack is causing my CMPS page to go blank. Once I set this module inactive the page loads fine again. The rest of the forum works fine. I've now updated to 3.0.6 and same problem. A blank white page. Any clue on how to fix this?
