Add-On Releases - Daily Game - Free games for your forum

Daily Game posts a new flash game to your vBulletin once per day in a new thread. Daily Game will help your forum 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 2.1 : simple_xml support is no longer required, enabled bbcodes on the game thread

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.

Not at this point... What kind of functionality do you have in mind?

I'm seeing the games on your forum perfectly, can you post a screenshot of the problem?

Oh, now I see what you mean...
I'll make an effort to fix this in the next update

Thanks for the hint!

Hi,

We've moved the daily game distribution time two hours ahead to 2AM PST.

FYI,

Worked perfect since I installed, I was wondering if there are plans to add a vba module, this would be great on portal page, even a side bar addon too.

Normally games are wider to fit in a sidebar. Would you find it useful if the post for the front page would be a teaser with a thumbnail image and some text?
