Arcade Block for TP.97 with SMF 1.1.2

[URPG]

Weee! it worked, at least for default theme (where i changed the index template file)...

Thanks a lot! Now i got to get those blocks running and some games installed

[URPG]

Argh!

Installed some games, all running, but:

I got the <arcade> Link twice now (and can only see it one in index template php) where might the second one come from???

Is there a way to minimize the sidebars when someone clicks that menu link?

[tick]

The code for the button is in the file twice.  Just remove the actual button code on one of them. 

To remove the sidebars when in the arcade open you arcade.php in you sources folder


add

Code Select Expand

// Turn off side tp side bars true=on false=off
        $context['TPortal']['leftbar'] = false;
        $context['TPortal']['rightbar'] = false;


Right after

Code Select Expand

function Arcade()
{
global $scripturl, $txt, $context, $sourcedir, $ID_MEMBER, $modSettings;


BACK UP ALL FILES YOU ARE EDITING FIRST.


Credits for this go to Ichbin

Fine

I selected a full page of games, sidebars do minimze and come back

I can simply add it to other themes by adding the button to index template php or do i have to copy all the arcade files over?

hmmm.... now we are giving arcade support? lol

Not knowing how the arcade works, I can't say for sure how it will work. I think instead of asking all these questions you should make a backup and try first.

Yeah, i did backup all files and renamed them to .old

I may be a trial-and-error coder but it am not that unexperienced

Well, i still got no answer on the arcade site on how to solve the error with installation... and here we figured it out in minutes

Didn't I just answer your ? at the arcade site.

[tick]

I only gave this answer about tuning off the blocks because I use it this way.  I have tested and still use it this way

[URPG]

Yes, you did rider, but i was writing here, not reading there. It's working well for alienation, amber, manuscript, smf default.

I got into trouble with mercury... can i get mercury TP skin support here? *smile*

I took the "search" button image, used photoshop to give it anohter icon, write arcade onto it, saved it into /mercury/images/english and ...../buttons folders (everywhere search.gif was present)

The i "cloned" the "// How about the [search] button?" lines and added:

Code Select Expand

      // How about the [arcade] button?
                echo '
                                <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/arcade.gif" alt="ARCADE" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />ARCADE</a>', $context['menu_separator'];

For some reason what was working well with all other skins got amiss, i get an error message when i use the new index template file

you can make a button here with Boc's button maker.......
