Miscellaneous Hacks - Cyb - Tic-Tac-Toe

Info:
Easy integration of Tic-Tac-Toe game with vBulletin forum software.

The forum user play against the computer, and it has 4 levels of difficulty that are user-selectable. It also includes history of the game. Admin can change competitor name, select usergroups who can play the game, choose different images for X, O, and BGD.

NOTE: Images are loaded from TinyPic by default (to avoid file uploads when installing hack). If you want you can upload them to your own server and then change paths in product settings. Of course, you can use your own images too.

Thanks to:
- Brian from Dynamic Drive for original version of this javascript game
- yoyoyoyo for his vB release for vB 3.0
- Atakan KOC for his vBulletin releases for vB 3.5/3.6

This version requires no file uploads nor template edits. It's easy to show/hide the game when browsing forums. It's phrased, looks little better, and integration with vB is improved. How? See screenshots and try it out.


Installation:
1. Import XML file as Product through your Admin CP
2. OPTIONAL (If you are using some very customized styles):
Open template "FORUMHOME" and add "$cyb_tictactoe" after "$navbar". Save.
Open template "navbar" and add "$cyb_tictactoe_link" after "vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>". Save.


Note:
Default images are stored at tinypic.com (to avoid files uploads when installing hack). If you want you can upload them to your own server and then change paths in product settings. Of course, you can use your own images too (one for X, one for O, and blank one).

I would prefer if this didn't try to auto add itself to my template so I could manually place it under 'community' and/or 'quick links' as my navbar is pretty full as is. Also I use vbadvanced so I guess I would need it to work with that also,

[BirdOPrey5]

so I edited out the auto link from the xml file and added the link manually to my community menu- works great... also I have vbadvanced and have no issues so I don't know what the other person's issue was?

If anyone wants these are some quick custom X and O transparent PNG's, look great on both white and dark backgrounds... the included ones weren't so great on dark styles. Also an optional 'tic tac toe' background image.

I am also getting a warning on the bottom of every page:
Uncached templates: cyb_tictactoe_link (1)
But only admins see it.

FYI this mod causes a conflict with the vbISpy mod... with Tic-Tac-Toe mod enabled the spy mod won't work. My solution is posted in the vbISpy mod thread.

I kept getting the error "Choose An Empty Field" on forum home as well.

So I put it in my FORUMDISPLAY template and it works perfect on 3.8.6.

Open FORUMDISPLAY Template. Add "$cyb_tictactoe" after "$navbar". Save. DONE!!
