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):

Reality is, the vast majority of customers are not interested in modifications. That's always been the case going right back to vB2.

If the company sarted offering free licenses for 'modification authors', how do you police that? Someone says they want one in order to write a modification - how do you make sure they do? And what classes as a 'modification'? Yesterday I wrote a small piece of code to push the vB5 PM chat icon below the username, instead of being on the same line. Is that a modification? Can I have a free license?

You would end up never selling any licenses because every user would become a 'modification author'. And you'd need a team of people to administer and police it - who would pay their wages?

It's all a moot point anyway. There's a reason no software company does this - it isn't remotely viable. And vBulletin won't be doing it, ever.

If that is true I would agree with you, but how about all that modifications for VB4, I doubt that they were made beacuse "vast majority is not interested" !?

I am not asking for license, not for me or anyone else, just seeing that many coders would not upgrade their mods (simple or complex ones) to VB5 as they dont have VB5.... and saying that by my opinion this would be "win win" thing. I think that creator of "Ibproarcade" does not have VB5, in fact I am sure of that, and if he did this mod would probably be upgraded....

I just dont like seeing what I see here (vbulletin.org/com), this place now looks like it was nuked and here and there someone in hazmat suit walks through...

ps
I do understand that most of VB licenses are sold to people who dont need modifications, nor they will ever look for one, but I also understand that there is significant number of people who are

[Mark.B]

Whilst the vbulletin.org community has always been very active, its users represent a very tiny percentage of vBulletin users generally. The vast majority of customers do not modify their boards at all, and that has always been the case. People who modify their forums are a significant but small minority.

A basic hook system has recently been added back to vB5. Reality is though, there hasn't been much interest. Repeated requests for input on hook locations get roundly ignored. So it's not really gained much traction.

Look at other platforms and the market for free modifications has contracted considerably. Most coders are now only interested in what they can sell. There are multiple and complicated reasons why that's happened, but it's the way the market is.

I'm curious if anyone running vB 4.2.5 Beta 1 and PHP 7.x has managed to get this arcade running?

[MarkFL]

I found the issue was that I am now using mysqli instead of mysql, so in the file "arcade.php", locate the line that reads:

PHP Code:

$MYSQLI        = 0;        // set to 1 to use ibProArcade-mySQLi-driver (may cause problems!) 


and change that to:

PHP Code:

$MYSQLI        = 1;        // set to 1 to use ibProArcade-mySQLi-driver (may cause problems!) 


Next, download the attached .PHP file and overwrite the file located at:

arcade/functions/dbclass_mysqli.php

with the attached file you downloaded.

[MarkFL]

Also, when using mysqli, replace "admincp/arcade.php" with the attached file.

I am having a few members report and confirmed that they are not able to save any games to favorites on my 3.8.8 board and some cannot click their favorites tab in the arcade navbar without getting the following database error. This does not happen to all members nor does it affect only one usergroup.

mySQL query error: SELECT COUNT(gid) AS amount FROM games_list WHERE gid IN () ORDER BY gid

mySQL error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') ORDER BY gid' at line 1
mySQL error code: 
Date: Wednesday 11th 2017f January 2017 05:36:02 AM

And what is with the date showing this way?
I have no errors in the server error logs.

Any help from anyone in correcting this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Maybe someone has a viable version for php 7.x?

On 5.6 it runs but when I switch to php 7.x, I get in the arcade.php error.

Thanks in advance.

A couple of posts back I posted fixes for PHP 7.x.

[Coder2016]

Thanks Markfl but the error is still the same.

Have also the admincp / arcade.php exchanged and the dbclass_mysqli.php

My problem is the root arcade.php

This error message comes.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW) in /www/xxx/xxxxx/forum/arcade.php on line 3205

Here is my arcade.php file.

Many Thanks
