SMF Arcade

Veej · December 08, 2005, 01:30:27 PM

Hi!
I am completely know to this and was wondering if someone would be kind enough to answer my questions.

Firstly, is there any version of the SMF forum which will work with the installation of any of the versions of the arcade without the need to manually edit files?

If so, which SMF version and which arcade version is this?

Thanks.

If you get a upgrade database error, I think there is a way to upgrade your database to make this work. As for the few files it fails on, you should be able to use programs like "Winmerge" and "php designer 2005" (Both are freeware or open source) to manually edit the files that dont take during installation.

Hi. I want to know how to install the arcade into the "classic" skin, since my forum doesn't use the "default" skin. i don't even know how to install the arcade. :O

Bigguy · December 10, 2005, 10:34:21 PM

Install it like you would by the package manager and then add the button to the classic skin.

Could you please explain how to do this? (Package manager) I see this option, but don't understand how or where to upload the arcade.
Sorry, I'm a newbie and just learning how this board operates

That's sort of the thing. I'm new to SMF and I really don't know how to install these mods. ):

Bigguy · December 11, 2005, 01:20:13 PM

The package manager basically does it all for you. If you go to the package manager and click on [Browse new packages] it will take you to the downloads page for mods. click on the one you want and it uploads it to your server. After this you will see it in a list under [Browse packages] click the [Apply Mod] button to install, follow on screen instructions. After all this is done, all you have to do is edit the template of the skin your using to show the button. I hope this helps a bit.

EDIT: this is how to do it in smf 1.0.5, 1.1rc1 should be pretty close to the same. Remember to back things up BEFORE making modifications.
