I did what you said.  After agreeing to the terms and conditions which show upon entering my sites url/installArcade.php, I chose the first option. . .the fresh install one, I believe.  The results of this were successful according to the next screen that came up and I was taken to a screen that showed what looked like administration for the program.  Some of the text appeared to be missing, like the text to the right of the first info "question mark" at the top.  Also, there was no text immediately beside the version "2.0.9" boxes on the right margin.  And nothing new had been created in my options are on the left of the administrative functions area.  So I did what you said and checked the language and it was english-utf8.  I changed that to simply english.  But nothing new resulted.  I can't get back into the arcade admin area and there is no arcade button anywhere on my homepage.  I am stymied.  I certainly appreciate your time in helping me deal with this.  Surely, I must be close to having the arcade up and running, correct?

Hello,

Now this is getting weird.  Before logging in, the "Arcade" button is located in the topic option bar of the forum.  But, once I log in, it disappears as a choice.  So it would seem that guests see it and can access the arcade but a logged in member does not have the option.  What is going on?  Anybody know?

You must have the code inside an 'if' statement.

Look at the code inside (index.template.php ?) and make sure it's not inside the Register/Login if statement.

Nope, didn't find that, BUT, now it gets even weirder.  I have a member of my forum which I created for various reasons (he doesn't really exists) and when logging in under this member's name, the ARCADE remains in the top bar.  So it looks like it is visible to guests and all members except me.  This makes no sense at all.  I am nearly at wits end over this.  Not sure it has any relevance but another quirk seems to be that the shout box has unfilled in areas for me that guests and other members apparently see.

Hmm...

go to the index.template.php file for the theme you're using, and copy/paste the whole function template_menu() here. It's probably at the end of the file.

I am afraid that I do not have enough knowledge or confidence in the little knowledge I have to do that.  Wouldn't know what all constituded the whole function and any error at all could render the whole forum as useless, couldn't it?

Well you wouldn't change anything by copying and pasting

Go to wherever you can edit the file, and search for

function template_menu() and then just copy and paste everything after that into a post here

Is this what I'm after?  Couldn't find a specific template_menu () listing.

BogeyOne,

This sounds like a permissions issue.

Go to your SMF admin/permissions and modify. You should see options for Arcade.

[rider]

BogeyOne 1st off sorry for not getting back sooner but I have to sleep sometime.lol.I went to your site and could access the arcade.I think cfred is right check your permissions.See if you're able to access the arcade this way.www yoursite.com/index.php?action=arcade.

[BogeyOne]

Yes, I do see it that way as along as I don't log in.  When I do log in, everything about the arcade vanishes.  I have attached a screenshot which I just took of my screen in the admin panel.  Please note the arcade button missing from the options at the top and the blank area in the left vertical bar after the "FORUM" box of options.

Rider, if you have msn messenger, please contact me.  I will have my messenger turned on.  My contact is:  [email protected]

[cferd]

For future reference, if you check your attachment, on the bottom right-hand corner, the part that starts with "Support", you can select to manage permissions from inside that area.

Now, as for your blank space in Admin: (Don't use the following code, it's just for reference.) In  Sources/Subs.php, around line 2771, my copy of the arcade code looks like this:

Code Select Expand

}

// Admin area 'Arcade'
if (allowedTo(array('arcade_admin')))
{
$context['admin_areas']['admin'] = array(
'title' => $txt['arcade_admin'],
'areas' => array(
'manage_games' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=managegames">' . $txt['arcade_manage_games'] . '</a>',
'manage_category' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=arcadecategory">' . $txt['arcade_manage_category'] . '</a>',
'arcade_settings' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=arcadesettings">' . $txt['arcade_settings'] . '</a>',
)
);
               
} // Admin area 'Members'.
The top closing bracket is from the // Admin area 'Forum'. section.  If your code has less than the 3 brackets " }{} " in that area, you probably found your culprit.

[Fustrate]

I say the text for the button isn't define... look at the double-wide spacing after Help.

can you view the source code of any page with that space and tell us if you can find action=arcade in there anywhere?

I really don't have a clue about these matters.  I am just a "color by numbers" computer fellow.  I regret that I wouldn't know what or where to look for or much less recognize things amiss when and if they came into view.

It is most strange--what is going on--but with luck, it will all operable within a couple of days.

Thanks to all.

Hmm... could you perhaps PM me a link to your forum?

I'd like to test that double space theory...

[cristansolid]

Hello

I am spanish.. sorry my English..


I have a problem, I installed the versions 2.0.9 Arcade and the forum versions is 1.1.3

   
I can enter arcade. But the users and moderators cannot enter, appears to them the following message:

You are not allowed to access arcade.


that I can do?

[cferd]

Hi,

I speak spanish too, so maybe you can understand my english 

Go to SMF admin/permissions. You can modify the groups to access Arcade from there.
