I don't know if this is a bug or not, but when I set the minimum number of posts required to play to zero and "became" another member with a zero post count and I couldn't play the games. I upped their post count to one with an SQL command and then I was able to play the games.
BTW, feel free to use the new arcade.tmpl file with the table fixes I posted a few messages back in the original download. All work was done by Josh, so it's good.
i am using an own session handler for my ubb board. now the arcades dont work correct any more.
its possible to play, but doesn`t insert the score. in flashgames u can read "waiting for transmit score" and it never end.
the db connection must be ok, because when i start playing a game it write an insert to table gamesessions. but after the game it doesn`t do any updates of score, validate,...
ALL games have issues with saving score? or just IBPRO type? because ibpro was written using a session script where the stock 5 that came with this did not..
if its just ones marked as ibpro type then it could be that but if its ALL then something else is happening..
Since installing 1.8 I have not been able to play Yeti Sports. I have just reinstalled the game and it starts to open, but does not get as far as 'Type in your name' or (whatever it says) screen. Anyone know why???
what the self createt index.php in the directory arcade is for? it doesn`t work (save rankings). i cant switch do cookie moder because of the own session handling on our community.
4) Cookies/Sessions are only used for ibpro type games so... basically if you can't use cookies.. and you can't use the session function that was scripted for ibpro games.. dont use ibpro games.. stick with the v3arcade type games that don't use sessions/cookies and uses $_POST. $_GET instead...
ok, thx anyway. u are right, ubb threads is at end of life.
but 1 question i still have: maybe i can solve the problem by my own. i just need to know how the flashgames transmit their variables. which file they are asking for and what are the var names?
[]DrChaos said: Its something with the avatars. if they have one it spreads them out. if they dont have an avatar is normal. [/] That can't be the problem, those users above and bellow have avatars also.
if that doesn;t work you won't be able to use the optional marque section. either that or return the showflat.php back to stock version but I figure ya rather not use the marque then do that!

did you modify your showflat.tmpl any? or is it basically stock? looks like a table size issue? does it happen in ALL browsers?
[]scroungr said: did you modify your showflat.tmpl any? or is it basically stock? looks like a table size issue? [/] To the best of my knowledge, it is stock except for this mod.
[]does it happen in ALL browsers? [/] Not sure as I only have IE available to me right now.
Barry thats a definite bug with IE.. It does not happen in mozilla.. and if you notice as you scroll up the page the space gets bigger and smaller.. it does happen when I pulled the code out just not as noticeable.. thats one of the reasons I detest Internet Explorer.. You have two choices.. live with it. or do what I ended up doing on my site and not put it in.. thats why its optional.. they can still see the scores in the arcade itself or under their member pages... sorry...
[]scroungr said: Barry try one other thing.. switch the <span> to <div> above the code and the closing </span> to </div> and see if theres any difference in IE [/] I don't see a <span> in the code.
right where the {$postrow[$i]['Location']} is in the showflat.tmpl you will notice a <span class="small"> and a </span> is encompassing it.. try changing the span to a div
I have installed a few flash games, everything works great on the ones that i installed, other than the scores being saved. I ahve checked everything, even the database and everything seems to be the same as far as format, and stuff. i have tried everything in all posts above also and cant seem to figure it out.
Here is the error i get when i try to run fixarcade.php:
SQL Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ' highscorerid = WHERE shortname = 'battleships' ' at line 5 SQL Error #: 1064 Query: UPDATE w3t_games SET highscore = , highscorerid = WHERE shortname = 'battleships'
i have tried to even query the database and everything.
