Add-On Releases - v3 Arcade Add To Favourites In Game Play Area

I've noticed that there is no way of adding a game to your favourites whilst playing the game, at present you can only add via the category list or when submitting a score. Personally I think adding when playing makes more sense.

To do this, open your arcade.php file and find:

// ############################################################################
// Play a game
// ############################################################################
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'play')
{
    $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
        'challengeid' => TYPE_UINT,
        'gameid' => TYPE_UINT,
        'resolution' => TYPE_INT,
        'tid' => TYPE_UINT
    ));

Below that add:

$favcache = unserialize($vbulletin->userinfo['favcache']);
    $show['fav'] = ($favcache[$vbulletin->GPC['gameid']]);

// set favorites
    $favcache = unserialize($vbulletin->userinfo['favcache']);
    if (!is_array($favcache))
    {
        $favcache = array();
    }

Save the file and re-upload

In your v3ARCADE_PLAY template search for:

<div class="blockrow" align="center">
                        <vb:if condition="!$show['challenge'] AND !$show['tournament']">
                            <img src="{vb:raw vboptions.arcadeimages}/backtip.gif" border="0" alt="" />
                        <vb:else />
                            {vb:rawphrase challenge_warning}
                        </vb:if>
                    </div>

Below that add:

<!-- favorites -->
                <div class="blockrow" align="center">
                            <vb:if condition="$show['fav']">
                                <img src="{vb:raw vboptions.arcadeimages}/subfav.gif" id="fav_{vb:raw game.gameid}" class="point" onclick="dofav({vb:raw game.gameid})" alt="{vb:rawphrase sub_favorite}" border="0" />
                            <vb:else />
                                <img src="{vb:raw vboptions.arcadeimages}/addfav.gif" id="fav_{vb:raw game.gameid}" class="point" onclick="dofav({vb:raw game.gameid})" alt="{vb:rawphrase add_favorite}" border="0" />
                            </vb:if>
                            <span id="favlabel" onclick="dofav({vb:raw game.gameid})" style="cursor:pointer; text-decoration: underline">
                                <vb:if condition="$show['fav']">{vb:rawphrase sub_favorite}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase add_favorite}</vb:if>
                            </span>
                        </div>
                                <!-- end of favorites -->

If anyone wants to further develop any of my addons, you are free to do so.

I added this, and you're right, this is exactly where it should be!

I'm having one issue with this in that the phrase never changes from "Add to Favorites" This is whether I click the icons or the words. The icons switch back and forth as they should, and so does the alt text. But the phrase stays the same.

I just upgraded to 4.2.0 so I don't know if this is just a coincidence or not, but worth mentioning.

---just noticed that the words actually staying the same no matter what the phrase is, depending on where it starts after a page load. When page refreshes, the icon, words, and alt text all match and correct. However, from then on, clicking doesn't change the words.
