v3arcade Alternative Layout

This is a port of GenSec's 3.0.x release (here).

This modification changes the layout of your main index page, and makes much better use of the space available.. It has been completely rewritten from scratch (using previous code as guidance), and is fully integrated with the Arcade Settings in the Admin CP. It is also fully phrased for our foreign friends..

All credit to GenSec for the layout design, who has kindly given permission for me to release this.

Note: If you use the vbBux integration, please ensure that you're using the latest arcade_game_bit_slim template, otherwise you may get a display error.


Compatability: 1.0.6
Screenshots attached (outdated, but gives the general idea)..

And I remember that we also need a instruction to integrate amykhar's "v3arcade Favorites Mod" into this Alternative Layout...

This cannot happen under normal circumstances, and I can't reproduce it.

Using the Favorites addon in conjunction with the Alternative Layout:

In your arcade_game_bit_slim template, find:

<strong>$game[title]</strong></a>

Add next to it:

<if condition="$game[favid]">&nbsp;<a href="arcade.php?do=delfav&amp;gameid=$game[gameid]">$vbphrase[arcadedelfav]</a><else />&nbsp;<a href="arcade.php?do=addfav&amp;gameid=$game[gameid]">$vbphrase[arcadeaddfav]</a></if>

Save, and you're done.

I'd recommend changing the phrases for layout purposes..
I'm using (+) and (-) for 'add to favorites' and 'remove from favorites' respectively.

[sinoeu]

Thanks for the instruction! It works!

Yes, if we don't change the phrases for layout purposes, there will be no place for the rating stars. But the (+) and (-) seems not so clear for the function meaning...do you think it's better to change a little the postion of phrases for layout purposes or of the rating stars?

It's down to personal preference..
Everyone is free to customise things as they see fit.
