[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

thank you for your reply

I don't know how to uninstall it?
should I only remove the old files ?
what about the tables for the old version in my DB?

please what should I do to uninstall it?

thanking you

[MrZeropage]

there never was real uninstall-function for v3arcade, sorry, even not for those who paid for "premium support"

If you want I can manually do the uninstallation and install ibProArcade on your site, I just need full AdminCP+FTP Access and myphpadmin, send me all access-data via PM.

If you place a little donation via PayPal for that work I would be happy

One thing I noticed is it did not transfer over the categories from v3.. Is this something not implimented in the converter, or did I miss something?

[MrZeropage]

this is not implemented, if I will do another version I will look for that, but my current focus is set on ibProArcade v2.5.7+

I did as you said now v3 games work and yours do not.

[stud]

why I ever stuck with v3arcade - i don't know. Your arcade is great! Thanks!

I must admit being fairly new to PHP & vB that I was scared to death to move from vb3arcade to IBproArcade.

This installed effortlessly and without flaw!

Awesome Job on this mod ... kudos!!!
