Ya but Zero said that would cause bad entries in the "games_scores" database.
Did you check and see if that happens?

Sorry, misunderstood what he was saying exactly. I've checked the database and there are no other entries than what need to be there.

Guests do not add extra, unwanted, illegal, etcx entries into the database.

print_select_row($ibforums->lang['acp_group_guest'], $GROUP['g_id']."_access", array('0' => $ibforums->lang['acp_group_noperm'], '1' => $ibforums->lang['acp_group_viewperm']), $GROUP['arcade_access']);

And replace with:

Code:

print_select_row($ibforums->lang['acp_group_guest'], $GROUP['g_id']."_access", array('0' => $ibforums->lang['acp_group_noperm'], '1' => $ibforums->lang['acp_group_viewperm'], '2' => $ibforums->lang['acp_group_playperm']), $GROUP['arcade_access']);

This will allow you to change Guests viewing/playing permissions in the AdminCP->Arcade->Group Permissions list. I've tried this out with a few different games and even though it might look like it submits a score (with a blank user name), when you click on "View High Scores" there is no listing for a guest (or blank) high score.

That works absolutely brilliant thanks.

so is this safe to use? It wont mess up the db with weird entries?

cyberhypnotic · #19 02-09-2006, 08:27 PM

Like I stated, it didn't do anything to my database. It didn't enter any odd tables or any other tables at all.

Besides, read the post right before yours. Seems someone thinks it works just fine also.

The edit only works with the ibproarcade skin. with the v3arcade skin it still says "login to play", only the Newest games and Most Played Games work (the two blocks on the sides).

I found a few bugs with this after having it on my site.

1. It a guest beats the high score the person with the highest score will still receive a Private Message. The PM will say "Invalid Private Message specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator" after you click on it or sometimes it will show but it will not say who the highscore winner is.

2. If the scores get into your Highscore-Champions it will show up as a blanck with a trophy.
