When I try to install the arcade I get this-
FTP Information Required-
Some of the files the package manager needs to modify are not writable. This needs to be changed by logging into FTP and using it to chmod or create the files and folders. Your FTP information may be temporarily cached for proper operation of the package manager.

I fill it out, but nothing happens,why?

Try this before installing the arcade,goto admin>packages>options>choose make all files writable and then install the arcade.

Then this comes out again-

Hey guys....i havent done any upgrades or added any games in ages. All of the sudden i get this message:

"You need to enable javascript in order to play games. "

What gives?

If you are receiving this message most likely you have the Pretty Urls mod installed. Try uninstalling this mod and the enable Javascript error should vanish.

does anyone know how to install the arcade into ApolloBB theme please?

does anyone know how to install the arcade into ApolloBB theme please?

The mod should install ok but you'll have to edit the index.template.php and create a button to show in the tab bar.Have you posted a copy of it over at smfarcade.info?One of us should be able to help.Also if you don't see the admin arcade settings then you need to change the forum langauge to english and not english-utf8.

Just to add to what rider said. A package parser could be of use to you here. I have one installed and running here if you need to use it:

btw... do i need to copy all those codes that the package parser gave me?

[NoelF1]

The parser told me to ...

Find:

// How about the [search] button?



Add before:

    echo ($current_action == 'arcade' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
         <td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'arcade' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
            <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade">' , $txt['arcade'] , '</a>
         </td>' , $current_action == 'arcade' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

but when im doing that the template is frigging up what am i doing wrong? but the arcade button showed up!

and also the admin panel thing i fixed it at last!

i did attach my current index.template.php file...with 3 qaurters of the code done... but still without the arcade button as the above coe aint showing up the template right!

thanks in advance.

[Bigguy]

The easiest way to make a button is to copy the help button code below itself and change the action. Any part in the code that says this:

?action=help

would get changed to this:

?action=arcade

So if we find the help button code for your index.template.php that looks like this:

Code Select Expand

// Show the [help] button.
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help" ' , $current_action == 'help' ? 'class="nav_important"' : '' , '>' , $txt[119] , '</a>&nbsp;|';

We would change it to this:

Code Select Expand

// Show the [help] button.
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade" ' , $current_action == 'arcade' ? 'class="nav_important"' : '' , '>' , $txt[1190] , '</a>&nbsp;|';

Also notice I changed your txt string:

$txt[1190]

So you will also have to open your index.english.php file and add this to it:

$txt[1190] = 'arcade',

or however they look in there because if you don't you will have 2 help buttons; one will go to the help section and one will go to the arcade but be labelled help. I hope that was clear enough.

[NoelF1]

but that will change the help button into an arcade one right?

i wish to keep the help button, because it helps newbies to understand how the forum works out!

[NoelF1]

and now i tried that and didnt even work at all! it erased the help button and nothing showed up instead!
