UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications [6.4 - 6.5 - 6.6 - 6.7] [beta] Games 2.5.1

I found the problem, it's with the css (runs over to colorforums thread)

Works perfectly for me! Thanks so much.

you're welcome

I still don't have the members-only thing done yet

doing the member's only thing, does that mean IP's that are banned can't access it?

Also, what kind of code would I need to edit Game wordlets in the cp?

It should check banned ip's, but since it's not done yet, I don't know if it will

I didn't make anything to where you had to edit ubb code to use this modification, there's lots of sites who can't modify base code (those running beta's for example), so I made it to set a couple variables and upload to run. It might be possible in the future to have a cp integrated into this itself, but that's probably a couple to three versions into the future

My first goal would be to limit it to regged/logged-in users to minimize bandwidth issues. My second goal is to develop an .htaccess file to keep other sites from hotlinking to your files (jpg/gif/swf). Any input is welcome from those with the skill sets to write it

oh, to answer more your wordlet question, you can edit them directly for now until I can add a 'cp' at some point in the future.

ok, borrowed from LK's shoutbox code to get a 'members only' status. Please test and let me know how it turns out. I've tested here:
http://www.praisecafe.org/ubbcgi/games.cgi

and it seems to be working fine

ps: with the next release, I'll have the games and the ubb files in different download zips so you don't have to dl 2mb each time I update

I used beyond compare (just found out what that was, kept hearing about it) to make it work with css, and it does work. I logged out and it told me to log in.

ah cool, thanks WA

Any other ideas? I probably won't mess with a control panel if all that's needed is setting one variable

how about something liek DPK's smiliemod. It scans noncgi/games for swf/dcr files, and gifs/jpgs, and allows you to add those without writing in the actual games.cgi

whooo, that'd be good... tho possibly way outta my range of coding skills.

I'll need to see how he did it and go from there

ah dude, i just updated to version 1.5 today and now there is a 1.6?

wassup? i'm on dial up here!

just download the 6kb zip... it's the only files updated If 1.5 is working for you, there's no big reason to update, I just cleaned it a bit more

i did and thanks for the hard work it's bad enough the users on our board browse instead of working at their desk, now they have games to play.

You're welcome - yes, they're addicting

Trying to link it at the top and I get the seperation line but no link.

Here is what I have...

[code][/code]Any know what I may be doing wrong???

Thasnk and GREAT hack!!!

did you do the second part to what I said earlier?...

[code][/code]edit: your link is wrong too. do both of what I said

Thanks for the reply Al...

I did it as you said and played with it a few other ways and I cannot get the link to show. I c/p the code you listed above... I have Calandar and wordlet mods installed. No errors, just simply not there.

I may be confused, what was the "second part of what I said earlier"... that may be what I am missing.

Thanks for the help

I was making sure you added the line to vars_wordlets_mods.cgi If it's not added, you'll get a separator, but no link

Al... Yes, I have it. I'll try it again, I am sure I missing something obvious.

The help is most appreciated!!!

Hey Allen, I was wondering how I would go about games.cgi using the $show_logout from public_common.pl. It would be nice to be notified of a pm on the games page too, because sadly, that's where a lot of my members spend their time

a new version is in the works

OK, thanks to Burak for some great work, it's now updated so that it scans your /games folder for .gif files and loads them as icons with links to your games.swf files - You must name the icon and the .swf with the same name for this to work correctly (ex: crash.gif and crash.swf).

Have fun... now you can upload most any flash game for playing and specify how many games per page you'd like to appear. Thanks Burak

Where do I d/l the new update?

it's always linked in the first post - the large dl is the games files, the smaller one is the ubb cgi files

Allen, I tried doing Battleships.gif and Battleships.swf and it did not work. After playing around, these are the things that work.

format for getting it to work

{gamename}bigicon.(gif/jpg) < image
{gamename}.swf < gamename must be lowercase there.

that's the only way I'm getting them to work

ok, lowercase then? I haven't linked all ours here yet

any chance of getting the PM envelope to show up when we have a PM? maybe as an addon or something

I've done everything by the instructions but i get this


FYI
I can not open games dir for reading: No such file or directory

open games.cgi and set the options correctly. Directory option must be an existing physical path...

i cannot get this mofo working:


dir => "/u292/ncfb/ubb/games",
url => "http://myhost.com/ubb/games",
max => 8,
prg => 'http://myhost.com/cgi-bin/games.cgi',
members_only => 0,
);

all the file permission are set correctly, just won't load the page.

where do you have it installed? It's not on your fbody site, please post a link

Yes, I reverted back to good ol' version 1.3 since I couldn't get it to work.

upgraded to 2.1, small bugfixes and combination of games.cgi and lib_games.cgi

A little more is coming, should be ready this weekend (late) or early next

Allen, would it be possible to do either this:

I found a bug!...

http://www.undergroundnews.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/games.cgi?page=4

Page 4 of games is the exact same as page one (ok, so i was bored)!

http://www.undergroundnews.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/games.cgi?page=1

...

actually it is not the same. page 4 is an "unknown" page and games.cgi prints page 1 instead of giving an error... the bug is the extra page 4 in the links...

try this one . It'll print page 1

install the new version (2.1)...

still gives same error

WA, I've tried it multiple times, be my guest if you can find the fix for it.

Gizzy, what error are you talking about? Do you have more games than 3 pages worth?
