Addon: Auto-populate Navbar menu (for John's Arcade V3)

What this hack does:

It replaces the link in your navbar for the Arcade with a Dropdown menu of all the games that are active in your Arcade.

Motivation: Extrapolated from my other auto-populating menu for Erwin's vB3 hack ...

Files to edit: 2
global.php
includes/functions.php
Template to edit: 1
navbar
New phrases to insert: 1
Queries added: 1

Step 1: Add the following in the Phrase Manager under GLOBAL

Alternate: you can import the single phrase using the included XML file

************************************************** ******
Name: arcade_addon_title
Phrase: The Arcade!
************************************************** ******

Step 2: Add the following at the bottom of global.php

Find:
Code:
/*======================================================================*\
|| ####################################################################
|| # Downloaded:
Add Before:
PHP Code:
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch
    
$nav_arcade genArcadeMenu();
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch 
Step 3: Add the following at the bottom of includes/functions.php

Find:
Code:
/*======================================================================*\
|| ####################################################################
|| # Downloaded:
Add Before:
PHP Code:
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch
function genArcadeMenu() {
    global 
$DB_site,$vboptions;
    
$theseGames $DB_site->query("SELECT gameid,title,gamesettings FROM " TABLE_PREFIX "games ORDER BY title");
    while (
$thisGame $DB_site->fetch_array($theseGames)) {
        
$arcmenu.= (is_int($thisGame[gamesettings]/2)) ? "" "\t\t<tr><td class=\"vbmenu_option\"><a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]do=play&amp;gameid=".$thisGame[gameid]."\">".$thisGame[title]."</a></td></tr>\n";
    }
    return 
$arcmenu;
}
// Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch 
Step 4: Add the following to the template 'navbar'

Find:
Code:
<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->
Add Before:
Code:
<!-- Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch -->
	<if condition="$show['member']"> <!-- remove this line and the endif if you wish all users and guests to view the menu -->
	<!-- flash arcade auto-menu -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="flasharcade_menu" style="display:none">
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
		<tr><td class="thead"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]" title="$vbphrase[arcade_addon_title]">$vbphrase[arcade_addon_title]</a></td></tr>
$nav_arcade
		</table>
	</div>
	<!-- / flash arcade auto-menu -->
	</if>
<!-- Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch -->
Find:
Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]">Arcade</a></td>
REPLACE WITH:
Code:
<!-- Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch -->
			<if condition="$show['member']"> <!-- remove this line and the endif if you wish all users and guests to view the menu -->
				<td id="flasharcade" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#flasharcade">$vbphrase[arcade_addon_title]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("flasharcade"); </script></td>
			</if>
<!-- Addon to John's vB3 ArcadeV3 hack - created by Natch -->
NOTE: in the two navbar edits there are conditionals that WILL CAUSE the menu to only appear to Registered users - remove these conditional wrappers to show the menu to all and sundry ...

Should work Enjoy, and props to John for his great Hack ...
U can see a demo @ http://www.mobileforces.org/ << running vBulletin 3.0.0 RC4 and vBIndex RC3, on PHP v4.3.4, MySQL 4.0.15

Screenshots attached: one with all default games enabled, and one with asteroids disabled

UPDATE: fixed up my comments - damn that copy and paste ... those that downloaded the attachment b4 5AM +11GMT, re-get the attachment, or make the following alterations to the above script:

Find twice:
Code:
// remove this line and the endif if you wish all users and  guests to view the menu
Replace with:
Code:
<!-- remove this line and the endif if you wish all users and guests to view the menu -->
UPDATE: IF YOU WANT ONLY N MOST POPULAR GAMES - check out this post

UPDATE: if you wat IMGAES in your dropdown menu, check out this post

How can i get it so that in the postbit, it just shows trophies for the number of games that the person has won, and then when you roll over a trophy it shows which game it was for? In a horizontal fashion under the username in the new postbit setup not legacy???

Thanks a ton!

That's more a question for John in his thread but it's a simple postbit template modification ...

You should be able to add <a href tags pointing to the arcade home page around the title of the menu (if I didn't do it already ...)

I thought so too ...

Code:

Yup

There is a link already - look @ the link @ the top of the list of top games - it will be a link to the arcade ...

I installed this hack, but the drop-down menu won't populate.

I can call $nav_arcade manually, on a separate page, and it displays a list of all installed games, but when it is put in the drop down box in the navbar, I get nothing.

http://forums.nzboards.com (top navbar)

Does anyone have any suggestions?
