SMF Arcade

[mickyd2006]

Yes, its the index.template.php file which fails the install, however I have been to the arcade site and checked on the manual install documentation and have tried all suggested code replacements to make, the problem is none of them match... the syntax, i beleive it is called is different. The problem there is that the manual install doc only covers three template designs. The lines of coded that are needed in order to show the arcade button do not fit, the lines it suggests to look for in order to paste the needed code in after do not exist, they differ radically, Im just wondering if someone might look at the 2 peices of code for me needed in order for the buttons to show and have a little look at the code area where it is needed to be pasted to see if there would be much work needed in order to acheive the desired results.

My coding skills are edit, configure and perhaps a little more but that's about it unfortunately.

To add in a button to your menu, open up the index.template.php and then find this:

Code Select Expand

function template_menu()
Then scroll down just a little bit from there and youll see:

Code Select Expand

// Show the [home] button.
Scroll down a little bit more until you see

Code Select Expand

// Otherwise, they might want to [logout]

Copy the code under this section and paste it into an empty notepad document or something. Replace

Code Select Expand

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=logout;sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">' , $txt[108] , '</a>
with

Code Select Expand

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade">Arcade</a>
^I THINK arcade is the right action but fix it if its not

Anyways, then take what youve got in the notepad window and copy it into index.template.php right before

Code Select Expand

// Otherwise, they might want to [logout]

or somewhere else in there if you want the button to appear elsewhere. If it doesnt work Im sorry I couldnt help, but thats all I know for adding buttons.

Hey,

I managed to get this to work using a combination of tactical penguins post, the arcade manual install manual and the radio and admin buttons and came up with this

Code Select Expand


//Arcade Button
if ($context['allow_arcade'])
        echo ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/arcade.gif" alt="' . $txt[arcade_modname] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[arcade_modname]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];


I noticed tactical penguins variation was a simple text link which was a good suggestion but it was still a visable link to all user groups. By adding the line

Code Select Expand


if ($context['allow_arcade'])


before the echo the link button command it stops unauthorised groups viewing the button.

If someone could check it for mistakes that would be good.,. but from this end it seems to be doing its job = ]

Not bad for a non coder lol.... thanks for the advice and suggestions cuz I wouldnt have got this far without them!!!!!!!

Is there a version of SMF Arcade that actually works with SMF 1.1.1?  As the latest version in the downloads section isn't working properly.

1.  I'm getting a "Missing field:" error every time I try to install a game - even when that's not the case. 
2.  Game icons are not showing - even though they're correctly labeled and placed.
3.  Games are not showing player names in the scores section

What the heck is going on?

[fwitt]

I believe E1.5.2 works with SMF 1.1.1

also smfarcade 2.0is in beta testing atm and is designed to work on the SMF 1.1 series

[Gargoyle]

Yes the E1.5.2 version does work with 1.1.1 as I installed it on a 1.1.1 forum the other day and it worked perfectly.

[chase_m]

I uninstalled the package, cleared it from my database, and I'm still getting a blank "Missing Field:" error during game installation. 

Is there a way to clean install the package?  What else did it edit?

I have smf arcade 2.0 and I am using wowdk them anddhave modified the index.template.php file to add an arcade button. But when the button shows up the text on the button says search. Also in the admin section the arcade admin panel is blank and I cannot accses it. The mod works flawlessly on the default themes so its obviously a hack i need for the wowdk theme. Can anyone help please.

The arcade mod guys use the example of copying the search button code in index.template.php, but you need to change the $txt[###] code to $txt['arcade'] to make the labels work.  Also, the wowdk theme has its own Modificiations.<language>.php file- so to be safe, copy ALL the lines that start with '$' in /Themes/default/language/Modifications.<language>.php to your /Themes/wowdk/language/Modifications.<language>.php file before the '?>' code.  The label for the button is $txt['arcade'], so if that definition is missing from your Modifications file, you need to make both the changes I've mentioned to make it work right.
