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Screenshots attached (outdated, but gives the general idea)..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 your abrupt nature in replying to things aint gonna win you any helpers......

so, stop slagging off the hack maker, and spend more time studying your hack implementation skills....coz the way it sounds, its found wanting somewhere...lol

Updated for v3arcade 1.0.5 Beta.

• Added stats mouseover for highscorer instead of linking to their profile.
• Added newly built-in AJAX favorites system.
• Moved game ratings to the far right of each game title using float.

The old version of this addon is still available until v3arcade 1.0.5 is publicly released.

I just installed this hack and it went smoothely and looks terrific, but I have one small issue: When viewing it in firefox, the rating (1-5 stars) appears behind the name of the game and makes it unreadable. I double checked in IE and it looks fine. Any idea what could cause this or how to fix it so it looks just as great in both?

[Oblivion Knight]

Fixed, please download new instructions and replace your arcade_game_bit_slim template.

I've now moved the rating at the top of the other stats, it was all getting too crowded on the fieldset legend, and it seems that it's impossible to achieve the layout I wanted with Opera and Firefox.

As mentioned, I don't use vbBux so there could be a possible conflict somewhere..

[Gizmo5h1t3]

probably, its only in brick mode, the standard mode shows up fine...

I have the same error.

[Oblivion Knight]

Hmm.. I think I know why.

The vbBux integration directly edits the game description, which is used by the Alternative Layout as the tooltip mouseover for the game's image. I advise you report this to John or the creator of vbBux; I won't be fixing it..

However, you could simply choose to remove the instance of alt="$game[description]" from the template, and that should provide a temporary fix.
