SMF Arcade

[Skhilled]

Huston make sure that you have a games.gif file in the /home/isaac/public_html/your_forum/Games dir. Please check that it isn't a .jpg or other extension also.

Just updated to smf 1.1 rc 2 and smfarcade 1.2.4b and TP 0.8.4 but for some reason the games icon can not be found. All the permissions are set to allow. The arcade is enabled and this is what I have in the index.template.php file.

Code Select Expand

// the [member] list button
if ($context['allow_memberlist'])
echo ($current_action == 'mlist' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'mlist' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=mlist">' , $txt[331] , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'mlist' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';


echo '
<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'];

// If the user is a guest, show [login] button.

But the darn icon is not showing up. Has anybody else had this problem.

Thanks

Never Mind. When the forum re-loaded after the upgrade it reloaded to the Babylon theme.  As soon as I set the theme back to the SMF default low and behold there it was. 

Thanks.

I've installed the package and it is working perfectly, two questions:

How do i add a button or link on my main forum so that members can see that there is an arcade zone? - currently the only way of accessing the arcade zone is if you are logged in as Admin / Mod & click the direct link: "1234.com/forums/index.php?action=arcade"

also only Admins/Moderators currently have access to the arcade zone.. to play..?

How do i get both of these to work?

[Jay T]

What versions of SMF and SMFArcade are you using?

Also, these questions most likely have already been answered at www.smfarcade.net

Are there any downsides in placing the Games folder outside of the forum? - It's just easier to make a global backup of the forum without having to download all the arcade game files. However, when I moved the Games folder outside of the forum directory, the games would not load (and yes, I did change the path and URL appropriately).

Any thoughts?

[DemonicInfluence]

I don't think it works when it is outside the forum dir..

[niko]

It works as long as you have correct path & url... for exaple i use same directory for two forums to save space.

[Col]

OK Niko,

I guess I need to check this again. I did check and recheck though; and when I moved the Games folder back to its original location, and changed the path and URL back to match, I did so correctly. - I'm at a loss as to what I was doing wrong.

Thanks.

You should check that topic on adding standard tabs to RC2.

You have to set permissions for games from the permissions in admin.

Anyone know how to solve the problem of not being able to install games

Do you get an error message?

[Bigguy]

Nope. I have games installed and they work. I had to do a bit of an edit to the arcade as I had some problems after my host upgraded. All the games that are installed work fine, I can upload new games and they show in cpanel just not on the site. All my paths are correct and permissions are set right.

EDIT: Host problem, this is solved

Hi,

I get this error on auto-installing the package:
2.     Execute Modification     ./Themes/default/index.template.php     Test failed
3.    Execute Modification    ./Sources/Subs.php    Test failed

when I ignore this and try and run arcade_install.php I get "Installer version is: 1.2.4 while Arcade version is 1.2.4b."

I am on SMF 1.1 RC2 , PHP Version 4.4.1

Thanks very much for a great app. Keen to get it to work on my setup.

[baselinej70]

Oops - forgot to say that I tried to install 1.2.4b

[DemonicInfluence]

try going here:

http://www.smfarcade.net/index.php/topic,400.0.html

That is an error free installation into rc2 of 1.2.4b. That should fix it

[baselinej70]

Thanks DemonicInfluence!!! You've been a very positive influence..

Runs great!

I think you need to edit some file in 1.24b before installing it. Check previous posts.

Is there an arcade for smf 1.1 rc 2 ?
