Nice idea <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Time for another sub-domain <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Josh, <br /> <br />This is GREAT. <br /> <br />I know this is probably an easy one, but how do I code the "online" file to show "In Game Room"? <br /> <br />Thanks, <br /> <br />Bobby

Let me ponder that and see if I can easily post instructions. I'm not sure if adding the script name to the online.php language file will work right because it's in a sub directory.... and thus may show up as private like all admin functions.

Thanks <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Add this into the /languages/english/online.php file<br /><br />$ubbt_lang['battleships'] = "Playing a Game - Battleships";<br />$ubbt_lang['crashdown'] = "Playing a Game - Creash Down";<br />$ubbt_lang['flashman'] = "Playing a Game - Flashman";<br />$ubbt_lang['paintball'] = "Playing a Game - Stress Relief Paintball";<br />$ubbt_lang['rigelianhotshots'] = "Playing a Game - Rigelian Hotshots";<br />$ubbt_lang['rocketman'] = "Playing a Game - Rocketman";<br />$ubbt_lang['sheepish'] = "Playing a Game - Sheepish";<br />$ubbt_lang['smashing'] = "Playing a Game - Smashing";<br /><br />The only sticker - the game index is "index" but if you're using IIP you're already using that.... so without changing the name of the script you can't really show location on that script easily. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So, if I understand you correctly, there isn't a way to make this work without major hacking?

No do what I said above - the exception is the game index - index.php as if you have IIP you already have an 'index' file.<br /><br />You'd have to rename the game index to something else - and change the links back to the game index in all the game scripts if you wanted the game index to show up on who's online - otherwise - right now - it'll show up as the "entrance page" because it's got the same name "index.php" as your IIP page.

Oh, ok. I must have miss read your post, sorry <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I wouldn't be that hard to rename "index.php" to "games.php" then add an entry in the online language file for :<br /><br />$ubbt_lang[games] = "Viewing the Game Arcade";<br /><br /><br />Then in each of the game scripts - there's a link back to index.php - you'd need to change that to games.php<br /><br />But what I posted above will cover all except the index file. Didn't think about online when I was setting it up. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Works PERFECT !!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />BWilliams

One thing I noticed Josh since I use the tablewrappers and you would not see unless you validate the page is the HTML after the embed does not work. There is not links BACK TO THE GAME or anything. <br /> <br />http://www.reeftalk.com/ubbthreads/games/battleships.php

Hmmmmm I wonder why that is. <br /> <br />Is that a PC thing - I see it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Am I missing something HTML wise in the embed tag. I inserted the code that Miniclip said - but I wonder if it's not valid. LOL

Thats the weirdest thing ever. One mine it does not load the html after the embedded game.

Haven't looked at the code yet - but is it easy to add other games - there are a few UK games, that should keep my members hapy <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yes, you can use the game pages as templates - there are loads more at that Miniclip site - you just basicaly embed the swf file in the page. And add links to the game index of course. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh man! That Josh thinks of everything..... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Thanks Man!!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I just like playing the games at josh's site <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

OK <br /><br />Updated this - this fixes the issue with the HTML not appearing after the embeded SWF file. This also updates instructions to update the who's online page (including the game index).<br /><br />Instructions to upgrade - upload all the new PHP files - and follow the enclosed instructiosn (AAAInstructions.txt) for the who's online steps. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
