Game Modification

[Patman504]

Hey I run a gaming forum of about 210 members.I want to get a little section going to play like little arcade games like Pacman, Tetris and games like that.I would like it to have like a button saying Arcade or something right by all the other buttons on top like Calendar,Login,Profile,Help etc. IF anyone can help me out with this cuzz i really dont know much about modding and such it will be greatly appreciated.Thanks and I will check this topic periodacally.I have a couple sites where I have seen it at.

Hmm, go into your Themes/yourtheme/index.template.php and scroll almost to the bottom. Look for:

Code Select Expand


// Show the [home] and [help] buttons.
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/home.gif" alt="' . $txt[103] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[103]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'], '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help" target="_blank">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/help.gif" alt="' . $txt[119] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[119]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];


Then you might add after that:

Code Select Expand

<a href="http://yoursite.com/link/to/arcade.php" target="_blank">Arcade</a>', $context['menu_separator'];


Or if you have buttons for the games, use this method:

Code Select Expand

<a href="http://yoursite.com/link/to/arcade.php">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/arcade.gif" alt="Arcade" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : Arcade), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];


This modification will put a link to Arcade just after the Help button.

I use them on my site... works well... keeps high scroes as well.

You can modify the .fla file too, so you can put in your own links and text etc...
