Add-On Releases - v3 Arcade - Professional vBulletin Gaming (vB4)

v3 Arcade is now a member of the vBadvanced family!

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47571

The support forums & data from v3Arcade.com have been merged into the vBadvanced.com site.



=================================
v3 Arcade for vBulletin 4.x.x
For vBulletin 3.x.x, please see here.
=================================

Please note... until v3Arcade.com is upgraded to vBulletin 4, some demo sites can be found here. Also, because of styling changes introduced in vB 4.0.8 to allow customized user profile pages, this version requires 4.0.8+ to be installed.

"v3 Arcade" is the premiere arcade system written specifically for vBulletin. It's coded from scratch - not a port of an older version - and because it was coded specifically for vBulletin it uses the product system for code modifications & utilizes AJAX technology throughout. Here's a brief rundown of the features in this version of v3 Arcade.

v3 Arcade for vBulletin 4 also has some feature differences versus v3 Arcade for vBulletin 3. Currently that list includes....

• The separate Arcade navbar has been replaced with the options being moved up to the standard vB navbar. Be sure to turn on the navbar link! (ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade General Settings => Navbar Link Position)
• When viewing a game categories other than the 'All' category, the category name will now be included in the navbar breadcrumbs.
• Added a new template "v3arcade_postbit_userid_trophy_wrapper" to allow adding some HTML around the arcade award images in the postbit.
• The category tabs shown on the main page will use the vB styling instead of their own defined styles. As we go forward the vB4 version of v3A will lose more & more of it's custom styling and instead use more of the new vB4 styling features elements.
• New option to display a "New" game category tab that will display all games in newest to oldest order. In addition to the new tab a "New Games" link will also be shown in the vB "What's New" navbar link. (ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade Homepage Settings => Display "New" Category Tab)

You've lost me. I've checked your arcade using Firefox, IE8 and 9, Opera and Google Chrome and cannot see any problem with your categories

I think I've only ever mentioned php.ini here - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....7&postcount=56

SBKTR for the shortname problem you need to access your database and check the v3arcade_games table. If the shortname field for any installed IPB games is blank the score won't save.

Gemma, I guess I am not understanding this part at all.

Are you talking check my files in my cpanel?
I don't know where to locate the shortname field.. where is THAT at? Is it called that or something else?

[SBKTR]

Thanks to everyone, I finally got this working. It took FOREVER too..

What I had to do.

Fix the index.php file AND set my forum path correctly.

My scores are now saving, least the test one I did, saved.

Thanks again.

It's explained in the first line of Gemma's paragraph. You check the v3arcade_games table in your database for that fieldname. I take it you didn't do your own vB installation? The database is what you had to create in MySQL before you could install vBulletin. If you have cPanel, then you probably have phpMyAdmin, too, which will let you view the tables.

Can you tell me the steps you took please? I've asked for help before and my scores still don't save.

It's possible I missed your open issue.

Please either post a link to your site or a link back to the post with the details on your problem (eg: what version of vB are you running [vB4 Suite or vB4 Forum], are you using vBa CMPS, any other 3rd party software, what types of games aren't saving, etc.).

Thanks

Thanks

I am using VB4 4.1 PL2

Using CMS. http://the8thlegion.com

Some games do not save. This happened before when I had ibproarcade. I tried several different fixes before and they didn't work which is why I switched over to v3arcade and I still get the same issue.
