Daily Game posts a new flash game to your vBulletin once per day in a new thread. Daily Game will help your vBulletin by:
  • Starting up conversations on slow days
  • Increasing retention since users are playing on your forum
  • Help you get links and improve SEO (flash games get a lot of links!)
  • Make you money! Use your own ad code to display an ad while the flash game is loading. These pre-roll ads get very high eCPM!

Install time: 5 minutes
Installation difficulty: Easy
Demo: http://www.playedonline.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40

Updated to version 1.5 : No manual template modifications and title and content customization

Updated to version 2.1 : simple_xml support is no longer required, enabled bbcodes on the game thread, support for switched off boards.

Installation instructions
  1. Upload add_daily_game.php to the vBulletin root directory
  2. Import the product XML file (Plugins & Products -> Manage Products - > [Add/Import Product])
  3. Configure the Daily Game settings under vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> Daily Game:
    • Set ?Enabled? to Yes
    • Visit www.playedonline.com/register_vbulletin to register (input your forum's url and your email) and get a shared key for authentication.
    • Configure which userid will post the daily games (input 0 for guest)
    • Choose a forum for Daily Game
    • Customise the title (useful for non-English forums) or leave blank for default
    • Enable or disable description and instructions
    • Paste ad code (e.g. AdSense) to show a pre-roll ad before the game starts (optional, leave empty to show no ads)
    • Click the Test link you got in the registration e-mail to post a test daily game (you can delete the test post after you verify that it works)
    • You're done! A daily game will be posted on your forum every day at 3am EST.
  4. Optional : if you switch off your vBulletin from time to time you can make sure the games are posted even if the board is off by making those small changes:
    • Add the following code to /includes/functions.php
      PHP Code:
      function endswith($string$test) {
          
      $strlen strlen($string);
          
      $testlen strlen($test);
          if (
      $testlen $strlen) return false;
          return 
      substr_compare($string$test, -$testlen) === 0;

    • In global.php find the line
      PHP Code:
      if (!$vbulletin->options['bbactive'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'login'
      and replace with
      PHP Code:
      if (!$vbulletin->options['bbactive'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'login' AND !endswith($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"], '/add_daily_game.php'))

For some reason I'm not getting any new games and can't figure out why...I did move the forum from one section of the board to another, but it's still the same forum so I wouldn't think that would change anything... I've checked all the settings and everything appears to be right.. The only thing I can think of other then that is that I did change my email address awhile ago; do I need to update that somewhere? Just grasping at straws as I don't know what could be causing this...

All I can think of is make sure the poster userid has permission to post in the new forum.

It's not a new forum, I just changed which section of the board I had the forum in. For example, if it was this board, it might have been moved from the styles section to the mods section...

Either way, can you try posting as the user you have it set to to make sure it works?
