This Hack was originally done for Invision Power Board (IPB) by Chris Kelly and later adapted to work within vBulletin 3.0.x but had no real integrated AdminCP and even some illegal licensed Files from IPB included, so it was removed from official vBulletin-Sites.

ibProArcade for vBulletin comes along with a complete new AdminCP with even more options and improved functionality, has been bugfixed alot and I implemented some additional feature that where missing. All known security-issues found have been fixed.

ibProArcade is full compatible to PHP4 and PHP5 and works with all vBulletin 3.x.x (yes, 3.0.x + 3.5.x + 3.6.x + 3.7.x + 3.8.x) with all the same Scripts !
ibProArcade v2.7.5+ and later is full compatible to PHP5.6 and PHP7 and works with all vBulletin-versions 3.x/4.x with all the same Scripts !
PHP7.0/7.1 require minimum vBulletin 3.8.11 or 4.2.5 and ibProArcade v2.7.5+

Installation of ibProArcade is very simple and easy:

vBulletin 3.0.x
upload the Files
run the Installer
edit 4 PHP-Files
edit 3 Templates
add 1 new Template


vBulletin 3.5.x & 3.6.x & 3.7.x & 3.8.x & 4.x.x
upload the Files
import the Product-XML-File
edit 3 Templates



If you are upgrading from an existing Arcade, some information:

• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.6.6+ and older) check the included Upgrade-Information (look in Archive)
• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.5.1) just do everything like a fresh installation, your Games and Scores should be kept automatically
• For existing v3arcade-Installations (v1.0.x) for vBulletin 3.5/3.6 there is the converter available.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who helped in the 3 months of development, testing and bugfixing the initial v2.5.3+ (in alphabetical order):

Since v.4.x came out a lot of sites are running vb using forum.php It is pretty bad that with this arcade you can not tell it what the main file is, as it assumes index.php then you have to modify the index.php to include IBP information. Can we get an option in game settings to change the default from index to whatever .php

I haven't found any problems with this as of yet. But what problems has it caused you so I know to check for it on my forum?

[RollaJedi]

thanks hippy, but man, it would be a pain in the butt to have to change this everytime i added a new game.

[RollaJedi]

is there an addon that works with vbcredits or ucash? I could have swore there was one for vbcredits, and now i can't find it! :P

I'd like my members to pay each time to play, and be able to win jackpots.

[Robbed]

If anyone is having any issues with a custom style that uses additional.css

If a style uses additional.css it doesn't display right with a few addons

Fix:

Since version 4.0.1, there has been an additional template variable call (to grab additional.css) in the HEAD.

Please add the following:


{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}

Before </head> in your template and you're all set.

I also added everything from arcade.css to additional.css to fix other display issues.

The vB4 version of this seems to mess up the navbit a little. Somehow an additional span is wrapped around the code, causing the navbit to jump from where it typically is located. Here's a solution.

In arcade/functions/function.php

look for:

		// we are on vB 4 or later WHOHOOO
		$debug = false;
		$navbits = $output_array['NAV'];
		$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
		$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => $ibforums->lang['page_title']));
		$navbar = render_navbar_template(construct_navbits($navbits));

Replace with:

		// we are on vB 4 or later WHOHOOO
		$debug = false;
		$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => $ibforums->lang['page_title']));
		$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

open up admincp and scroll down to plugin manager..
now look for ibProArcade: ARCADE Template Cache
open it up, in there youll see..

if ((THIS_SCRIPT == 'index') || (THIS_SCRIPT == 'arcade'))

change it to this

if ((THIS_SCRIPT == 'forum') || (THIS_SCRIPT == 'arcade'))

not tested but I think it will do what your explaining
like samandsam said I have not had a problem with this either..
let me know if it works for you..
make sure you back up the code, just in case you need to revert it back..

[AfterWorldForum]

Hi hippy,

Sorry, I did search for something and dind't find it. Figured I'd add it to maybe help soemone else out.

What do you mean, though by "keeps arcade on every page"?

[Hippy]

no need to be sorry my friend,
all is good when your trying to help,
see the pictures above .. say your in the arcade modcp.. you have the little navbit icon and it should say modcp.. your edit says arcade..
if your viewing the tournaments.. should say tournaments but your edit it says Arcade..
same with playing a game should have the game name there your edit says Arcade..

[Kingpin55]
