[DOWNLOAD] Converter (from v3arcade to ibProArcade)

Anybody who has v3arcade running on his site and wants to migrate to ibProArcade... Here is the solution


This will automatically convert your installed games and, if you want to, even all the scores from v3arcade to ibProArcade.
The converter is designed to be used on a fresh ibProArcade-installation as you will lose all installed games and scores in your ibProArcade.


The Converter is compatible to:

• vBulletin 3.5.x / 3.6.x
• ibProArcade v2.5.9+ and later
• v3arcade 1.0.6 (for vBulletin 3.5.x)
  usage with <1.0.6 are untested yet, please let me know if/how this works

Just follow those steps to migrate:

1) don't touch your v3arcade-installation yet, just close the arcade
2) download ibProArcade and install it
3) upload the attached converter to your forum's root-directory and run it

That's all, the converter is interactive and will tell you what to do ect.


Don't forget to remove the converter.php after everything is done !


The converter will let you choose if you want to remove v3arcade after conversion or not.

After you successfully converted, feel free to click UNINSTALL for v3arcade


Note to the sceptics
If you want to take a look on ibProArcade first while not losing your v3arcade, make sure you rename your /arcade.php to /v3arcade.php before you install ibProArcade. Then, after conversion is done, do not remove v3arcade at this time and test ibProArcade.
If you feel comfortable with it, remove v3arcade later via vBulletin's Product-Manager or (and that is what I point you to) run the converter again, it will provide a link for uninstallation on the first page and then guide you through the complete uninstallation (will even tell you which files and folders to remove, which the Product-uninstaller does not!). Remember to remove the renamed /v3arcade.php too
If you dislike ibProArcade, please let me know the reason and uninstall ibProArcade via the Product-Manager, then rename your /v3arcade.php to /arcade.php and you can use your v3arcade again.



If you find any bugs, if you have any improvements, ideas ect. please let me know

Welcome to the ibProArcade-Converter v1.0
=========================================
This will convert your current v3arcade-Installation to ibProArcade v2.5.6+

IMPORTANT
By starting this Script you will lose all Games and Scores in your ibProArcade !
This will convert all your v3arcade-Games stored in Database to fit the ibProArcade-Database.

Before starting the Converter ensure that:
1) ibProArcade is uploaded and installed correctly (you can enter it and play default Games)
2) Your ibProArcade is switched off while this Converter is running


PROBLEM DETECTED ! Can't fine the v3arcade-Data in your Database !

Conversion aborted.


This is on the latest release of ibProArcade, can you hep at all?

If I uninstall ibPro and enable V3 there's no problem with the db as everyone's scores and ratings are there.

I hope you can assist, I'd be most grateful..

Thank you

This converter is out-dated, and no one seems to care (speaking towards the dev of this plugin) as it won't work on the latest v3 of the Arcade system. Already replied here saying it won't work + PM'd the developer. He's recently active, but ignoring nor replying to my PM.

all you need to do I think is figure out what v3arcade-Data was changed to edit the converter file and you should be golden..
stangger5 would know best he used both arcades at the same time..

If you Convert from the newest v3Arcade to ibProarcade..

Looks like you need to add v3,,to two different tables in the converter.php file..

Two places change:

PHP Code:

arcade_games 


to

PHP Code:

v3arcade_games 


Then six places change:

PHP Code:

arcade_sessions 


to

PHP Code:

v3arcade_sessions
