Arcade Games

Looks good!

OK, OK, personal preferences aside, there are some things catching my attention...

- Did you turn off the leaderboard? Usually in the sidebar at the bottom of the "Arcade Champions" section there is a link to view the leaderboard. (ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade Leaderboard Settings)

- On the index page there appears to be a shadow at the bottom of the TD elements for the game description. Normally not there. Likely due to the style.

- With the style using white for some elements like the table header, it makes some things a bit off (like the "Arcade Games" text appearing on white instead of on a different colored background). To see what I mean, check here for comparison.

I know the style is available from vBSEO but did you make any modifications to it? If not, I'll grab a copy and put it on a test site to check out to see if we can't get those styling elements more inline with how it really should appear.

 

not that I know of, I didn't setup any tournaments but other then that, it's stock

it's the vbseo 2 style in the vbseo downloads, haven't changed it to much yet

I do like how you can pick new games and add them right from the admincp, that's pretty cool IMO

 

I have a CD too, but these come in via the admincp without me having to fire up the FTP.
Are there any v3arcade, vbadvanced modules?

 

Sure. You can find some v3 Arcade vBa CMPS modules here.

Any in particular you're after?

 

thanks, I like this one but it through up a DB error when I enabled it.

 

Try this version instead.

 

thanks, I just added it but it doesn't seem to show anything?
(bottom right module ATM)

 

That is a tad odd. If you run this query from your ACP, what do you get?

Code:

SELECT * FROM v3arcade_news ORDER BY datestamp DESC LIMIT 6

If you're using a table prefix, put it in front of the "v3arcade_news" name.

When you imported the new module, did you make sure to delete the old one first including the /modules/arcadenews.php script? My 1st guess is that either the old template is being used yet or the old script (I changed the name of one of the templates in the updated version).

If you want, you can also submit a ticket over at v3A and I'll take a look.

 

yup, I just tried again with the same results.

 

{Looks at the XML file...}

Ooops! I guess it's been a while since I've created a CMPS module from scratch. Give me a few minutes for an update.....

OK, let's try that again. :rotfl: Grab a fresh copy and you should be good to go.

 

Will do, thx for making it
On the phone right now
Will be back on later tonight

 

^Get off the phone slacker!

 

I was at the store standing in line
I uploaded the module but it has funny characters in front :dazed:

 

Modify the template "adv_portal_arcade_advancebit" to remove it from there. It is supposed to be a dot character like in the screen shot but.... looks like when I exported the module to XML format the character got distorted. I'll experiment a bit to see if it was a vBa CMPS thing when exporting the template or a vB thing; if with vBa CMPS, then I'll mention it to Brian to take a look at.

 

do you know why we're getting this after the games when it's time to submit our score?

Brandon, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
