Add-On Releases - IBProArcade 2.5.7 make a Post/Thread on new Highscore

Good Morning from Germany

After the Realease of the Mod IBProArcade 2.5.7+ i bring out a little peace of candy for the Arcadians

Just a little Addon that do the Following :

You have to setup 2 Things :
1.) An existing User ID (Under this User id, the Highscore Post is made)
2.) An existing Thread ID (The Highscore Post is append there)

I create a new User called ArcadeMaster an write the User ID in the Settings.

Just Create a new Thread in your Board like Arcade Highscores.
Write the Thread ID in the Settings.

Safe and thats all.

Every Time a HighScore is beatn , a Posting is generated with some Informations.

The Text for the Posting comes from 4 Phrases. You can edit it by your self.
GLOBAL -> ibp_hscore_p1 -p4 .

Install is easy : Just import the Product and make your Settings.
Have Fun

New in this V.1.0.1 : The Highscore is now in the Posting.
Just edit the phrase ibp_hscore_p5 to fits your need.

New in this V.1.0.2 : New Thread on New Highscore
Settings for Highscore Thread Title, Open or Close The Thread (Reply Allowed) and the Forum ID .

Bug Fixed for Users with AdvancedCMPS or other Portals. (No Highscore Post was create)

Now we have 2 Plugins. One for a new Post and one for the new Thread. It's your Choice.

2 Screenshots here an many Cups of Coffee *g*

Easy Updating : Just import the new Product , and you are done.

Whats the problem?

I just installed on my 3.6.2 board without any problems. It works but just not 100%

1st, the spelling is pretty bad, i need to know where to find it to fix the issues. I assume English isn't the authors 1st language.

The Highscore of Knobs im Game 9-Ball was beatn by Dirty_Sanchez. Go and get it back.


"HighScore" should be "high score" (2 words, no capital H)
"im" should be "in"
"beatn" should be "beaten"

The real issue is that when my Arcademaster posts it doesn't look right.

This is the plugin making a post


This is what it looks like when i log in as the Arcademaster and post.

So i downloaded the xml file nd upped it as a product ...

Under which exisiting Username we post the New Thread. (Look at the PostUser ID User name GameMaster (used his id not name)

Highscore Thread ID
The Thread ID where we append the New Highscore Posting. (i posted a thread in his name and copyed the id of it )

Foren ID
In which Forum we create a new Thread. ( i wrote the forum id tht the thread was posted in )

And saved everything ... but no joy yet so far . Wth am i doing wrong !!!

Thnks in anticipation

how i did it,

username, i didn't use the id# i used the name of the user, it's case sensitive so make sure you type it in correctly, i made a user "ArcadeMaster" then put "ArcadeMaster" in the user ID box.

The thread # and forum#, you don't need to enter both, it's either going to make a new thread, or make a new post in an existing thread, you pick which one you want it to do. You do this by going to:

Plugins & Products >> Plugin System..
check, New Post on Highscore or check New Thread on Highscore ,then Save

i checked "new thread" and then in the options mentioned above i left the thread # blank and put the # of the forum i wanted the new thread posted in.

Hope this helps, the directions aren't very.

I have come to realize although this hack works it isn't written very well. It's seems kinda rigged together.
As you can see from my screen shots above there is an issue with how these posts are created. If this is just me someone please let me know.
