You edit it in the lcd_display template..

find,,

<span class="normalfont">&nbsp;<b>LCD Display (liquid crystal display)</b></span>

very nice can you remove from forum home and add in arcade only?

edit: ahh you just turn off and add the code and it works in arcade right?

[stangger5]

To remove from forum home..
Go into the admincp >> Plugins & Products >> Plugin Manager
and find LCD Display[forumhome_start],, uncheck it and save..

If you want it to show in the arcade ,,
add the code from the first post under the $navbar in the ARCADE template..

[ShawneyJ]

One last thing, any chance of a little guide or example on what to add to get the mod to draw from the database?

The data base part it kind of limited..

If you have ibproarcade install..
Try this,,

Create new line

Table-Name: games_list
Field-Name: gtitle

Sort Datenbase-Entries: ascending
Entry-Limit: 3

Then Submit..

That will give you something to play with...
