Add-On Releases - v3 Arcade - Professional vBulletin Gaming (vB4)

v3 Arcade is now a member of the vBadvanced family!

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47571

The support forums & data from v3Arcade.com have been merged into the vBadvanced.com site.



=================================
v3 Arcade for vBulletin 4.x.x
For vBulletin 3.x.x, please see here.
=================================

Please note... until v3Arcade.com is upgraded to vBulletin 4, some demo sites can be found here. Also, because of styling changes introduced in vB 4.0.8 to allow customized user profile pages, this version requires 4.0.8+ to be installed.

"v3 Arcade" is the premiere arcade system written specifically for vBulletin. It's coded from scratch - not a port of an older version - and because it was coded specifically for vBulletin it uses the product system for code modifications & utilizes AJAX technology throughout. Here's a brief rundown of the features in this version of v3 Arcade.

Supports MochiAds, v3 Arcade and IBPArcade games!

• Download THOUSANDS of *legal* free and premium games directly from Mochi Media to your v3 Arcade installation. Earn money from people playing games on your site! With just a few mouse clicks you download games directly from within your ACP or from the Mochi Media web site. You have to check it out it to see just how easy it is.
• Tournaments! Challenge your friends to see who the champ is!
• Integrated arcade statistics on your user's profile pages!
• AJAX based instant ratings, for simple to use game ratings.
• AJAX based inline score moderation.
• AJAX based instant game searching.
• Tabbed, customizable categories.
• Challenge system for one-on-one contests.
• User-permission based settings for email/PM notification, challenge settings.
• Streamlined viewing modes for users with lower resolutions.

• Reverse and decimal based scoring.
• Arcade-only closure with customizable message.
• Per game criteria, allows you to control access to games by reputation, posts, registration length.
• Postbit based awards.
• Personalized recommendations for other games users might like, based on what they?re playing.
• Quick stats, letting a user know how many other scores are above and below theirs.

• Full admin control over the types of content allowed in comments (BB code, HTML, smilies, etc.)
• Usergroup based access permissions.
• Fully phrased, for each translation into other languages.
• An ever growing collection of third party add-ons
• A slick, professional layout.
• Edit-free template updates!
• User ability to specify viewing resolution while playing games.

v3 Arcade for vBulletin 4 also has some feature differences versus v3 Arcade for vBulletin 3. Currently that list includes....

• The separate Arcade navbar has been replaced with the options being moved up to the standard vB navbar. Be sure to turn on the navbar link! (ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade General Settings => Navbar Link Position)
• When viewing a game categories other than the 'All' category, the category name will now be included in the navbar breadcrumbs.
• Added a new template "v3arcade_postbit_userid_trophy_wrapper" to allow adding some HTML around the arcade award images in the postbit.
• The category tabs shown on the main page will use the vB styling instead of their own defined styles. As we go forward the vB4 version of v3A will lose more & more of it's custom styling and instead use more of the new vB4 styling features elements.
• New option to display a "New" game category tab that will display all games in newest to oldest order. In addition to the new tab a "New Games" link will also be shown in the vB "What's New" navbar link. (ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade Homepage Settings => Display "New" Category Tab)

=================================
Branding Free

All v3 Arcade installations carry and require a small "v3 Arcade" logo in the footer, as well as the text "Powered by v3 Arcade" which links to http:www.v3arcade.com. For information on legally removing the branding, please visit www.v3arcade.com.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean (I'm more blonde than usual in the mornings). Can you post a screenshot?

Nah, I just explained poorly, tired sorry...
sigh some reason my screenshot won't link properly

I added it in my public profile, I know thats ghetto but I'm not sure what is the deal tonight, anyways what happens is that the arcade sub forums are over riding a forum sub forum , which the arcade sub forum should be there alone, its showing both over one another ... also when I select arcade forum and arcade is highlighted at the same time ...

So you can read what is under what is new, forums since 2 things are on top of one another. If you look at the pic I circled the area where it happens .

Did you use the Navigation Manager to set up your links?

Until an update is released for 4.2 you can follow these steps to set up the arcade navigation system. Shouldn't take any more than a few minutes to do.

1. Disable the plugin - Arcade Navbar Link
2. In the new Navigation Manager, create an Arcade Tab

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: Arcade
Target URL: /arcade.php
Tab Script(s): arcade

3. Now we will create an Arcade Games Link

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: Arcade Games
Target URL: /arcade.php
Parent: Arcade

4. Next, we want to create a View Leaderboard link

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: View Leaderboard
Target URL: /arcade.php?do=leaderboard
Parent: Arcade

5. Now, we need to create a Tournaments dropdown menu. In the Navigation Manager go back to the Arcade Tab we created in step 2 and from the dropdown box choose Add Menu

Product: v3 Arcade
Active: Yes
Title: Tournaments
Parent: Arcade

6. Now we can populate the dropdown menu, first up is Your Tournaments. In the Navigation Manager you should now see a record for Tournaments (Menu); select Add Link

Product: v3 Arcade
Active: Yes
Title: Your Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewyour
Parent: Tournaments

You now want to create the rest of the tournament links following the same steps but replacing the Title and Target URL as follows -

Title: Tournaments Awaiting Players
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewwaiting

Title: Active Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewactive

Title: Finished Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewfinished

Title: Start A Tournament
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=newtourmnt

7. Now, one final link to create for Edit Your Settings, in the Arcade (Tab) record select Add Link

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: Edit Your Arcade Settings
Target URL: /profile.php?do=editarcade
Parent: Arcade

I did all of this and double checked, I got rid of the nav bar like you said here, now its no longer over riding, but now the forum is still highlighted when in the Arcade tab, and the info from forum is there instead of the arcade nar bar stuff, like Tourment etc, I added all of them as seen here, but none of them show up.

I think what the issue is the forum is highlighting when I click arcade and the nav stuff from there is showing up over riding it, and I,m not sure why, I looked every where and even made more nav bars tabs and it does the same thing, any time I make a new nav bar tab, it high lights the forum tab even though I'm not clicking it, which is Odd.

If you want to PM me temporary admin access to your site I'll take a quick look, sounds like a reference to forum or arcade is being made where it shouldn't be.

Hello -

A couple of quick questions.

1. Where is the code for the News, Arcade Champions, etc. I'd like to change the order in which they appear.

2. How can I display one of those blocks like the News and events in the forum sidebar?

3. Can you point me to some resources that would help me figure out how to display these arcade boxes in a column on existing pages outside the vbulletin folder?

1. Here is the section of code from the v3ARCADE_MAIN template which displays all the arcade sidebar. The bits in bold highlight the start and finish of each block.

2 and 3 - If you check the code in my CMS/Forum Sideblock add-on it may give you some ideas of what code is required to make the blocks; you basically need the database query to pull the information (usually found within either arcade.php or v3arcade_functions.php) and then generate a template to display it.
