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):

I couldn't agree with you more, If it wasn't for the likes of Hippy and Stannger we wouldn't be having this conversation as this mod would have been dead in the water years ago.

The mod is no longer supported by the original developer,yet he pops in, to fix the security issue!Hmm.. right ok.Goodwill gesture? I don't think so.

What it needs is the original developer to give the right to people like Hippy to apply all the fixes to the original code.That way now 448 pages can be deleted and start afresh.I'm sure everyone would agree with that.

As you said the product is not paid,so why dosen't the developer give up the rights to it? And give the people who put their heart and soul into it, a fair crack of the whip..

That's the way forward,not page after page of manual edits.

100% agree

Who said anything about the script being a "Goodwill" gesture? It was was the security fix I was referring too..So please don't misinterpret or insult my Intelligence.

Furthermore, Why on earth would the inventor of the modification give up rights to anyone else? That's just a really really stupid assertion in my opinion.

Well it would be to you.But as seeing you asked the only person keeping this alive to solve your problem..The balls in your court on that one.

At the end of the day - if the modification doesn't work for you - or you are simply too tired to find the fixes you need ==> DON'T USE IT! is my suggestion!

As above..

Again = I'd personally like to say thank you MrZeropage for sharing your modification with the vBulletin community

J.

Again you would,but always remember,this arcade was created long before you popped along..This is arcade territory,not a hair salon..

if the fixes were in a doc that was easy to follow and not contradicted every other post then that would be fair rnough - but they are not and they are all over the place. several versions of several files to download and several maybe and ifs on php and template edits.

this isnt vb2 this is vb4 - this mod belongs in the graveyard along with all the other outdated unsupported products.

it used to be awesome but now its simply garbage for the average user.

and before anyone gets on their soap box about how this is free etc etc - that's all very well and good, and you are entitled to an opinion - and so i'm entitled to mine by saying that as it stands its junk for vb4.

uninstalled until it gets fixed CORRECTLY.

note to hippy: I appreciate your efforts but if you are going to be telling people to follow your fixes - at least have the fixes laid out in a legible fashion with date amendments or at least upload a complete pack for gods sake - stop all the faffing around. do it right or dont do it at all.

you have alot of nerve pal...

it's there and when it's updated I mention it ..when a fix is added to the archive by Mrzero I remove it frm the list..

you read the whole damn thread here and the support forum.. and make your own Like I did ..
If it's not good enough for you... don't read it

Move one..

your one most ungrateful person I have ran into helping with this mod to date!

[Hippy]

Busy with life .. dunno

Fool! It was YOU who said, "Hmm.. right ok.Goodwill gesture? I don't think so."
I didn't insult your intelligence. But you sure did insult the hell out of MrZeropage. And whether you meant that the script itself is a goodwill gesture or the fact that MrZeropage pops in to sort security issues is the good gesture... That really is a moot point. Okay.

And since you apparently didn't or couldn't translate what I meant to say, I'll translate for you ==> The modification is free. If you don't like it or can't get it to work for you = DON'T USE IT!

Simple eh? Yes. I thought you'd agree. And what the hell does a "hair salon" have anything to do with anything? Are you smoking drugs?

J.

[BirdOPrey5]

OK calm down everyone.

No one is taking over this mod unless the mod author gives permission, which is unlikely.

If anyone doesn't like this mod please simply do not use it, do not insult others or the mod author. There are several arcade mods you are not limited to this one- it just happens to be the oldest and most popular.

And to insult or criticize Hippy who provides all this support for a mod that even his is also uncalled for. As has been said many times this is a FREE mod you can use or not use- no one has a right to demand anything.

[skol]

Then should the mod go to the graveyard..It's not been supported by the original developer for years..So why is it still here?

You did send it to the graveyard when the security issue came about..But that was resolved..So why is ibproarcade still here? Unsupported from the original author...I see many mods sent to the grave yard as not being supported....Why does this one have an exception?

[Hippy]

No reason to.The mod works. And the security issue was resolved. And its supported and still work...don't have to use it.. many many others do..
