Category in game information

Is there any way to add the category to the game info? I've created the spot but haven't figured out the code to pull the information yet.

Try this: In arcade.php search for "//get games", right under that is:

       //get games
               $DB->query("select g.*, c.password from ibf_games_list as g
            left join ibf_games_cats as c on (g.gcat = c.c_id)
                  where g.active = 1 ".$show_all.$search.$catselect."
                    order by ".$this->arcade->settings['g_display_sort']." ".$this->arcade->settings['g_display_order']." ".$query_limit);
                while( $this_game = $DB->fetch_row() )
        {
                $games[] = array(	'gid'                =>  $this_game['gid'],
					'gwidth'    =>  $this_game['gwidth'],
					'gheight'   =>  $this_game['gheight'],

change to (parts in red added, don't miss the comma after 'password'):

        //get games
               $DB->query("select g.*, c.password, c.cat_name from ibf_games_list as g
            left join ibf_games_cats as c on (g.gcat = c.c_id)
                  where g.active = 1 ".$show_all.$search.$catselect."
                    order by ".$this->arcade->settings['g_display_sort']." ".$this->arcade->settings['g_display_order']." ".$query_limit);
                while( $this_game = $DB->fetch_row() )
        {
                $games[] = array(	'gid'                =>  $this_game['gid'],
					'cat_name' => $this_game['cat_name'],
					'gwidth'    =>  $this_game['gwidth'],
					'gheight'   =>  $this_game['gheight'],

This should fill in $entry['cat_name'].

included this in next ibProArcade v2.7.0+ as it is a good idea ...

[tigrattack]

This is a great feature...thanks

The category doesn't show when viewing favorites, any ideas on getting it to crossover?

Thanks

Just seen this thread and MrZeropage post he said it was added in ibProArcade v2.7.0+

I see the code used in the arcade.php but It does not display..

what am I missing
I never new it was added so till now
thanks

the code is prepared to push category-information to the skin/layout, but if you want to use it, you need to add it to the skin

/arcade/skins/skin_Arcade.php

search for

<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend><b>{$ibforums->lang['gamebox_persbest']}</b></legend>
<center><span class="smallfont">
{$ibforums->lang['your_high']}<b>{$pbest}</b>{$ibforums->lang['gamebox_persbest_p']}</span></center>
</fieldset>

after this add

<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend><b>{$ibforums->lang['acp_gamesort_cat']}</b></legend>
<center><span class="smallfont">
{$entry['cat_name']}</span></center>
</fieldset>
