vB Hangman 1.2
---------------------

The classic word game is now integrated into your forums.

Features :
------------

1) Allow/ Disallow guest access to Hangman in Admin CP
2) Set number of attempts in Admin CP
3) Add words in Admin CP
4) Use words of any length
5) Use as many words as you want
6) Put in a SENTENCE, or MULTIPLE WORDS
7) Ability to use NUMBERS and CHARACTERS like ! or ?
8) Totally integrated into your forums, with your forum colors and layout
9) Easy installation file that you run to automatically add database settings
10) Store hack version of the hangman.php courtesy of Zajako

Installation :
---------------

Simple.

1) Upload vbhangman_install.php to your admin directory, and run it, and then follow the instructions (you can run it again to uninstall this hack). This will add settings to your database automatically. Delete this file after you have done this.

2) Upload hangman.php to your forum directory.

3) Make a hangman subdirectory in your images directory. Upload the image files to the images/hangman subdirectory.

4) Make a new template "hangman" and add the contents of the hangman.txt file into this.

5) Go to your Admin CP, then to the vBulletin Options section, and set whether you want guests to have access to Hangman, how many attempts you allow (default is 6, any higher and you will need to add your own custom hangman images), and then add your words. Separate each word or words or each sentence with a comma. For example...

hello,yahoo!,3 blind mice,12 apostles,vbulletin,good morning,good afternoon,this is cool

(numbers and special characters are fine!)

Then, just go to http://www.yourforums.com/forums/hangman.php to play Hangman!

Enjoy!

They do already don't they? I use a random function to randomize the words.

Please, check this out.

Thanks for yet another fun hack that adds even more "stickiness" to a community! Simple to install, easy to play and modify. Great work!

And now, after the butter, I have three questions.

First, I wanted to raise the number of wrong guesses to 10, and so I created four more images (adding hands and feet, LOL) using the same naming convention (hangman_7.gif, etc.). I uploaded them, and then made the change from 6 to 10 in the vbhangman options in my cpanel. But while the number of guesses was changed, the new images aren't showing up. It just shows the same hangman_6.gif image. Is there something else I need to tweak to get the hack to display the extra four images?

Second: I added the template change to my default style as well as a secondary style. But I can't seem to get the hack to run displaying the secondary style -- I just get a blank page. Is it possible to have hangman.php show up in different styles, and if so, how?

Third: I'd like to use different sets of words, depending on different forum categories. Is it possible to create additional "categories" of word lists? Maybe by uploading/installing additional copies of the hangman.php script (renaming them hangman1.php and hangman2.php?)? I dunno, just hoping.

None of these are HUGE issues, and they sure don't take away from the enjoyment of the hack, which as I said is terrific. Thanks again!

Oops, somehow I missed that post of yours with the fix!

Sorry!

Thanks!

That's a bug. Darn it, I don't believe I missed it.

I've fixed up the ZIP file. The hack is now up to version 1.1

To fix this manually, read my next post. Sorry!

Make sure you add the "hangman" template to ALL your template styles - not just to your default.

It's not that hard to do.

You will need to add another setting in the Hangman setting section, and call the variable $hangmanwords2.

To do this, just run this query:

PHP Code:


			
INSERT INTO setting (settinggroupid, title, varname, value, description, optioncode, displayorder) VALUES (NULL, 'vB Hangman Word List 2', 'hangmanwords2', '', 'Separate each word or words or each sentence with a comma. Numbers and special characters are okay. For example... hello,vbulletin,good morning,this is cool!,3 blind mice', '', 3)");

Then copy hangman.php and rename the new file hangman2.php

Then in the hangman2.php file, change

PHP Code:


			
$list = $hangmanwords;

To

PHP Code:


			
$list = $hangmanwords2;

I haven't tried it but it should work.

Update Version 1.1

To upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1, replace the old hangman.php with the new one in the new vbhangman11.zip

1) Fixed a bug that does not allow you to increase the number of images when you increase the number of attempts.

To fix this manually, open hangman.php.

Find:

PHP Code:


			
  $nwrong=$wrong; if ($nwrong>6) $nwrong=6;

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
  $nwrong=$wrong;

2) For people using the Store Version of this hack by zajako, lalo landa has posted a new version with a bug fix so that people will lose points if they get it wrong. I have linked to this new file in my first post.

Sorry for the bugs, and enjoy!

a word for the wise... you can check to see if somebody has already submitted the word. read all the words already listed into an array by lines. then just simply loop thru and check against each word using if ($var = $var2) type stuff. *blinks out*
