[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

[peterpigman]

I have some v3 games i would like to add to my ibproarcade, how do you do that?

[MrZeropage]

if you have the ZIP files, just use the included auto-installer ...

[Neilll]

OK im new to all this can someone please tell me how do i run the converter?

[putergirl]

Neilll, see post #55 for your answer.

.......

To anyone, I installed ibPro arcade and followed the installation instructions included in the zip file, then I ran the converter and it went well, but the arcade won't open. I should say though, that the converter did tell me to see if the arcade would open and let me play a game first, and it wouldn't, but I thought it was because both arcades were there. It just says not found, it's a generic message, not an error with information that I can post here.

I also ended up with two links to the arcade in the navbar, and both took me to v3 before I uninstalled v3, now it gives me the not found message. Then I took the install instructions to the v3 arcade installation and reversed it - taking out and changing back the code that I changed when I installed it... and it still won't open.

I do have high scores scrolling over the persons details in posts, but there are two identical rows scrolling the same information.

I would have just removed v3 before installing ibPro, but I wanted to save the scores if I could. I should also say, I tried to install ibPro when I first opened my site a two years ago and I couldn't get it installed then either, which is why I went with v3.

I am running the newest vBulletin and my sql5.

Any suggestions? I could sure use some help. Thanks.

[MrZeropage]

did you upload all files ? is arcade.php in your forum's root ?

[putergirl]

Oh thanks for the reminder.. it looked like it was there, but when I upped it from the cp instead of the ftp proggy, the arcade showed up.. I've been having probs uploading lately so that was the trick. Thanks so much!

Oh, one more thing.. I still have the double scrolling high scores.. where do I look to get rid of that code?

[MrZeropage]

check your postbit-template, I guess there is something doubled in there
