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):

[maf1973]

the mysqli was already entered in my config.php

PHP Code:

$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysqli'; 


I added the SKIP_DS_ERROR and now the error messages are gone.

[rinkrat]

Suddenly when I try to use the arcade, it is being redirected from arcade.php to arcade.html which doesn't exist.

Anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks!

[blind-eddie]

Does anyone know how to get the .swf files to go into their own directory when games are installed?
Meaning, not in the arcade root, but in another folder within the arcade folder.

Please read through the following to understand why I am asking this.

===============================

Today, I finally get the chance to address this issue.

I call my host to ask for assistance as to why folders show up in file manager but not FTP.
After a long hold I was told it was a permission issue... I told them there was no problem with permissions and both sites running same addon with the same files/folders with the same permissions... only one shows all the files via FTP and one does not.

They said they were running a file permissions program and to wait at least ten minutes and refresh FTP, its been over an hour, files still will not show via FTP.

I use SmartFTP and have been for years, I tried every free FTP program and files will not show on them as well.


Has anyone else ever had this issue, if so, how did you fix it.

FTP:



Cpanel/File Manager:

I removed a whole bunch of the .swf files and my files are now showing.

I need figure out how to change the max viewable files via smart ftp and/or figure out how to edit the arcade to automatically move the .swf files to its own directory.
I will have to seek support there now that I figured it was the arcade mod issue.

===============================

[stangger5]

Your host and change that viewable amount..

I had a host in the past that would only let you view 1998 files per folder..
Using that host I had 10.000 games installed and they all worked fine..

I now have all my game.swf files in their own folder...arcade/games

[ozzy47]

I said the same thing to him here as well, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....05&postcount=5

[blind-eddie]

I now have all my game.swf files in their own folder...arcade/games

That's what I am after, would you mind sharing how you did this?

Chris, Gary, My host tells me they can't raise the max amount viewable via FTP, they tell me that its a setting in FTP and all FTP programs will only allow up to 8000 files viewable... but I can not find anything regarding this on Smart FTP.
I will have to call them back.

[ozzy47]

No, that is wrong, I had a issue like that when I had 9000+ arcade games installed, and the host resolved it for me. But this was on a older server, so I don't have access to the support ticket to see exactly what they did.

[blind-eddie]

I am on Shared Hosting and really never have any issues.
They just told me that on shared hosting that MVF via FTP is set to 8000 and will not increase it, however, if I upgrade to VPS or Dedicated I can set it to whatever I want....Go figure.

So, without upgrading my plan I can not see the tar, tmp, skins and zip files without removing a ton of .swf files that are added to the arcade root when the games are installed.... Unless Gary is willing to share his edits to have the .swf files go into their own directory....

[ozzy47]

Yeah I knew they were wrong when you said they can not raise it, it's that they don't want to.

Hopefully you can get ahold of the edits to make it work.

[blind-eddie]

I found the edits here. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=271336

Working great.
