SMF Arcade

[rider]

Yeah CODude.  I fixed my problem but now like you the arcade is instsalled but no games are.  I don't know how to get the games installed.

D/L the games from smfgames.com.Then you have to upload the games to your FTP.put them in the games folder and then install them thru the arcade settings in your admin panel.Hope this helps

I have added the section you need in the permissions for the arcade, but prople still cant access the arcade, its open but only i have access.  The added code is:

Code Select Expand

'arcade' => array(
'view_arcade' => false,
'play_arcade' => false,
'submit_score' => false,
'challenge_send' => false,
'challenge_view' => false,
'admin_arcade' => false,
),

Any ideas?
Thanks

Have you go into your admin panel and into the edit permissions for each group and set up permissions there as well.

O,ok that fixed it... thanks

Glad it worked for you.

Hi all,

I love the sound of this mod and have uploaded the .zip via package manager and then clicked Proceed.

It unpacks a few files and then gives me this

Some  of the files this package needs to modify are not writable. This needs to be changed by logging into FTP and chmoding the files.

I put my ftp details into the provided box's and click proceed and nothing happens? I know my ftp settings are correct!.. any ideas please?

Did you reinstall it?did you run the arcade_sql.php.do you have a games button on the top of the forum..try to run the arcade_sql.php and go into the admin panel and enable the arcade thru the arcade settings.If you still need help grant me admin status and a link to your forum.I will get it going.

Sorry to bother, but I really can't find a thing to edit in the Admin section of my board. Where's it supposed to be and what's it supposed to say?

it should be under "Forum Configuration"

Edit Features and Options
Edit Server Settings
Current Theme's Settings
Theme and Layout Settings
Smileys and Smiley Sets
Arcade
Edit Censored Words
Edit Registration Agreement

or you can access it by going into the arcade.

Hi, I installed SMF 1.05 and installed the smfgames module 1.2.3. The arcade is the only module I am using.

Editing games descriptions text issue:

I have searched here and the smfgames site, but unfortunately have not found an answer.  I have installed about 6 or so games and that went ok, but I cannot go back and edit the description/help text for any of them or place them into a category. (They are un-categorized for now.) I get an error stating "Please fill form completely". I have no idea what would be missing, as all areas are filled in.

I am also not sure how the categories work. All I see after I create one is it listed with a checkbox in the search area. I am just not sure how the categories are supposed to be displayed I guess.

I don't know what fixes I should or should not apply as I did get the newest version, so I don't know if the issues have been addressed or not.

I do not know why because I did download the 1.2..3 package, but it shows as 1.2.2 in my arcade admin panel. Yet it shows 1.2.3 in the public area of the arcade.

My SMF itself runs perfectly, it's just the module giving me issues.

(I had posted this on the smfgames support forum days ago, but I am assuming they are too busy at this time with other things, so I thought it would be best to post it to the arcade thread here in hopes that someone else has run across the same issue with editing the game descriptions text.)

Thanks for any help,
Ruskin

Thanks

Update on my situation:

I decided to just reinstall the module to see what would happen, and for whatever reason it seems to be working now. I think some things were missing on the 1st installation, and it seems to be ok now. I am able to edit descriptions, change a game's category, and add new games.

Thanks very much anyway, it works great now!

try the default theme. Your runing a custom theme, and your'll have to add the button yourself. 

Try http://youraddress.com/YOURFORUM//index.php?action=arcade

If it appears, you should be in business.

I've tried to use the SMF search feature but it has been momentarily disabled due to high stress on the server or so the pop-up message says.  Anyway, I'm receiving an error message I need some help with,.

Table 'bleebiz_forum.smf_games_category' doesn't exist
File: /home/bleebiz/public_html/swforum/Sources/ArcadeAdmin.php
Line: 299

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum files are currently at version SMF 1.0.5, whereas your database is at version SMF 1.0.2. It is recommended that you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.

How do I go about fixing this?  I tried going to http://swforum.blee.biz/upgrade.php but got a 404 error.  Would I go somewhere else to fix this?

also you can try this as well...Ok I just wanted to let everyone know that I have gotten the arcade installed. I renamed the table "smf_games_caterogy" to "smf_games_category" that took care of the problem I was having with the error message telling me that "smf_games_category doesn`t exist" I was also getting an error in package manager about if failing to execute a modification in display.template.php I think it was. I gnored that warning when installing. It seems to be working now, just going to try installing some games. Hope this helped someone

I'm getting the same error.  How do you rename a table?  I think I found it.

Mick

[scrawl]

i'm pretty sure this is the code for the default theme, if you use another theme it might be a little different but you'll be able to change it to work

Code Select Expand

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/games.gif" alt="' . "Arcade" . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" /></a>', $context['menu_separator'];

just put it in "index.template.php" file. Scroll down in the code and you'll see the code for the other buttons and just put it in where you want the button to appear.
