Non Gamedata Games Scores Not Saving

[joe43wv]

Hello all, Stannger5 was helping us over at Vbulletin and told us to come here. We're having trouble with games that do not come with a Game Data folder included in the download not saving scores. Any tar we upload and install that has the gamedata folder included the scores post no problem. One game we have tested with from here is Aztec Drop. Any thoughts?

[stangger5]

Aztec Drop is a v2 game..Its an older game and doesnt come with game data files..

It saves score to the index.php instead of arcade.php.
You need to add the save score code to your index.php files..

That code is in the INFO - vbadvanced or another Portal files that comes with the arcade..

I added that when I upgraded. This is a continuance of the discussion from VBulletin with Mike8823, if that helps ya pick up where we left off.

Mind if I have a look at your site ?

[joe43wv]

You are more than welcome to. Want the site link or FTP access?

[stangger5]

You can pm me both..

[joe43wv]

PM sent.

[stangger5]

One thing to try,, add www to your site..
Sometimes the arcade or games will not work right without it ..

[joe43wv]

Just tested it, no dice.The games worked before I upgraded to 2.7.3+, I'm not sure what changed with the upgrade but that is when it stopped working.

[stangger5]

After you played a game and tried to submitted score, the link in your browser had www ?

[joe43wv]

No. The old version didn't have www either.

[stangger5]

Just give it a try.. You will have to log in again..
If it doesnt work,,we can move to something else..

[joe43wv]

Okay, tested it and same result.

[stangger5]

I see the problem now,,, give me a few mins to fix..

[joe43wv]

Great, thanks Stangger!

[stangger5]

Its working now..

It was the arcades ibp_cleanhtml code for saving scores..

It would change game_AztecDropAS3v2DR to game_AztecAS3v2DR, it took out Drop..
I changed it to use vbulletins, $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc

[joe43wv]

Great, thanks Stangger! Does that fix all of the V2 games or just this one?

[stangger5]

Your welcome..

It should fix most v2 and v32 games with that same problem..

It will not fix v32 games, if they are missing their game data files..

[joe43wv]

AWESOME! Stangger, your the man!
