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.

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)

In the v3ARCADE_MAIN and v3ARCADE_PLAY, most likely adding the code just below {vb:raw navbar} but you'll need to ask in the chatbox thread about how to display it only on certain pages.

i feel so proud, thats just what I did and it worked great thats my first intuitive template edit.

[FudgeBalls2002]

It was working perfect until I upgraded to the most recent vbulletin update. Now the games show up just white space and if I right click, it states that the flash has not loaded yet. Every game does the same thing. Its basically the default template with modified colors/logos. Here is the url. http://www.tomosmopeds.org/forum/arcade.php

Have you edited any of the arcade files (php files)?

Make sure there is no white space after the ?> tag in the arcade.php file

Hi,

Just a hint and what I do with the scripts I write for people is that last ending ?> tag on a php page, I leave it out. That removes problems with white space at the bottom of any php page. It's not really needed as it''s the last one and I have never had white space issues on any server I worked on after I started leaving it out.

I got the idea from Zencart which does it. It's not really needed since PHP will end when the end of file (EOF) is reached anyway.

Did you edit it? Works fine at my end and it's a great script. Any attempt to set cookies must be done before any other output. A white space above <?PHP is considered output. First look for output before set_cookie or any header statement. Both are problem children if you already started sending output. Any HTML before set_cookie is also output that will cause this error.

You can use output buffering to send output prior to the call of this function, with the overhead of all of your output to the browser being buffered in the server until you send it. You can do this by calling ob_start() and ob_end_flush() in your script, or setting the output_buffering configuration directive on in your php.ini or server configuration files.

I usually run set cookies like this:

    ob_start();
   set_cookie(PARAMS HERE);
    ob_end_flush();

This gets me around the set_cookie problem when other output has already been sent, which can also be an echo or print_r or similiar.

hadnt done any edits, but have just uploaded the arcade.php file and overwrote it, all fine now..

[Datenpapst]

there is no

PHP Code:

require('content.php'); 


in my index.php

[Gemma]

Try placing it above

require(INDEX_SCRIPT);

So it looks like this

require_once('./includes/v3arcade_vbsuite_index_compatibility.php');
require(INDEX_SCRIPT);
