v3arcade Favorites Mod

As written, the favorites list is generated by the number of times a game is played. This modification changes that behavior so that users can select their own favorite games. It includes the ability to add and remove games from the favorites list.

I am not offering support for this modification. It is provided as-is. It is working fine for me, but I'm not guaranteeing that it will work for you.

Not quite.. my edits were done after installing the mod from the zip file. So, my hack does not include instructions to change a couple of things that do need to be changed in arcade.php.

If you're having the problem where games are not showing up in specific categories, I would suggest starting with a fresh arcade.php, applying the edits as instructed in the arcadefav.zip file, and then applying the edits specified in my hack.

On my board they only show up in their specific categories, if they are added to the favorites category.
This includes games from the default categories, not only user defined categories.

Now i wonder if it is something i did wrong, or do more people have this problem?

I downloaded this hack and installed it. I had the problem with games not showing up in the proper category so I installed the hack later in this thread to fix it.

I do have a problem though with the arcade_favorites_fix.txt file. The I don't have the code in my arcade_game_bit template that it says I need to modify.

The only hacks installed on my arcade is the arcade champion which doesn't change the arcade_game_bit template, and this one.

I assume it's because I don't have the alternate layout installed??? Is there any changes that need to be made to the original game_bit template?
