I just installed 2.1.1 error free. I'll start testing it momentarily...

Post your findings in this thread unless we find the need to have separate forum threads for specific bugs.


Keep in mind the particular things Pragma is interested in:

- Was the install easy? Did it work as expected?
- Do IBPro games work for you without a hack now?
- Did the zip file installs work for you?
- Does the rating system work for you?
- Does the new control panel work for you?
- Does the JomComment/Shoutbox integration work for you?
- Does negative and decimal score saving work for you?
- Does the keepalive function work for you?
- Are the Module/Itemid bugs fixed for you?
- Do the scores display under the games if you have it enabled to do so? Does it look ok to you?
- Are you able to have multiple columns of folders? How does that look in your template?<br><br>Post edited by: Korrigan, at: 2007/06/29 05:35

This isn't a bug but I think it would be good to center align games by default rather than having to use the hack posted here.

Agreed. I have made this change.

The demo arcade here is now running 2.1.1 beta.

I've found two bug so far:
1. the rating system doesn't work on this site. I've got to figure out why.
2. I was missing a language string in the admin panel where it shows the number of games and number of scores you have.

- Was the install easy? Did it work as expected?
Install worked fine.

- Do IBPro games work for you without a hack now?
No, without hack score wasn't saved and I was redirected to homepage.


- Did the zip file installs work for you?
Worked great!


- Does the rating system work for you?
The rating system doesn't work for me. Ratings aren't saved and instead of the star gif, I see text numbers:


and


Also the bottom of my template gets a bit messed up when ratings are enabled.

Should look like:

With ratings enabled:


- Does the new control panel work for you?
The new admin interface is great. The only problem I have with it is that games are still listed 20 per page even though I have List Length set to 50 in Joomla global config.

- Does the JomComment/Shoutbox integration work for you?
I don't have JomComment but shoutbox integration works. I use SMO Ajax Shoutbox 1.0.3


- Does negative and decimal score saving work for you?
Decimal scoring works. I don't know of a negitive scoring game offhand to test.

- Does the keepalive function work for you?
I'll check later when nobody is on my site and I can turn down Joomla's session lifetime to something really low.

- Are the Module/Itemid bugs fixed for you?
Fixed!

- Do the scores display under the games if you have it enabled to do so? Does it look ok to you?
Works and looks great!

- Are you able to have multiple columns of folders? How does that look in your template?
My games are set up flat and I have them all in one category. I can check this later when I get some time.

I have download the beta. But how can I update?
Same like HERE?
I better ask and not try first. <br><br>Post edited by: artwido, at: 2007/06/29 18:48

Yes, the bottom part of that FAQ. Basically uninstall old version, install new version, and configure new settings.

You won't lose scores or games or anything.

Do you see the mambot installed in your site mambots area?
Is it both installed and published?

Ok, I've posted a new download that should have the rating system fixed. I had forgotten to add the star image to the installer. Oops. If you had already installed the beta prior to me updating this, you should:
1. Download the latest beta
2. Uninstall the old beta
3. Use PUDBA to drop the jos_puarcade_ratings table
4. Install the new beta
5. Continue your testing!

I also made it center align the game by default, fixed that language string problem in the admin panel.

Testers, please download and install the component again if you'd like to try out the rating system.

Thanks!<br><br>Post edited by: pragma, at: 2007/06/29 20:13

I added an '_old' to the com &amp; admin folders, removed the previous componant to install the new one, while attempting to install I recieved this error:

SQL Error DB function failed with error number 1101
BLOB column 'used_ids' can't have a default value SQL=CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `jos_puarcade_ratings` ( `count` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `total_votes` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `total_value` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `used_ids` TEXT NOT NULL default '0', `gameid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, UNIQUE KEY `gameid` (`gameid`) );
SQL =
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `jos_puarcade_ratings` (
`count` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`total_votes` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`total_value` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`used_ids` TEXT NOT NULL default '0',
`gameid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
UNIQUE KEY `gameid` (`gameid`)
);


I begged to beta this thing and worry I already messed up, any ideas?

I also did get the same errors while trying to install the puarcade_2_1_1c version.

I have re-install the puarcade_2_1. There was still some script left from 2.1.1.c so in the admin I could setup the new features but in the front-end it wasn't there. Just the functions of 2.1

I removed the {default '0' from the 'used_ids' table and was able to install to continue testing.

(I removed it from the install xml in the zip then did a re-install)

I thought I would start giving you feed back while things were fresh in my mind I will try to fill in some blanks with more testing latter. I installed the beta on two websites.

Installation was not a problem

&gt; - Do IBPro games work for you without a hack now?
No. As of yet all IBPro games were kicking me back to the front page although it didn't log me out.

&gt; - Did the zip file installs work for you?

PNFlash zips worked like a charm! IBpro don't. These are tar files and of course the system takes only zip. I unpacked the tar file and zipped it. When I tried to install I got the following error.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: delete_directory() in /home/apicture/public_html/administrator/components/com_puarcade/admin.cls.puarcade.php on line 30

I also learned that if I zipped up any file such as PNFlash games it would do the same as above. Only files that came originally zipped from the PNFlash website loaded up properly

&gt; - Does the new control panel work for you?

Yes great?
&gt; - Does the JomComment/Shoutbox integration work for you?

Don't have JomComment and I couldn't get Shoutbox to work on one website. On the other it was announcing my scores.

&gt; - Does the keepalive function work for you?

No, played a long game and it logged me out without saving the score as usual.

&gt; - Are the Module/Itemid bugs fixed for you?
Yes, models stayed with the arcade regardless of whether you were with games, folders whatever.

I tested several different templates and the look seemed very nice. The options of multiple columns was great. This part of the beta functioned flawlessly for me. Even on a template that had little width room it did good by adjusting the column width.

Other stuff. It is still incompatible with transmenu. I would recommend everyone using a menu system based on moo effects for drop downs if they use the PU Arcade. Scoring overall was temperamental. Games that I never had a problem with weren't scoring well. While others were fine. If they scored once they seemed to have no problem. Some games were scoring and others did not.

Didn't know there was a mambot till now. I clicked on it from the backend and above it was the following

Warning: file_get_contents(/home/apicture/public_html/mambots/system/PUArcadeSys.xml) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/apicture/public_html/includes/domit/xml_domit_lite_parser.php on line 1079

I assume this has something to do with the IBpro games not scoring.<br><br>Post edited by: jcarnley, at: 2007/06/30 01:59

I think com_puarcade_2_1_1d.zip might be corrupt. I've downloaded it three times and get an unexpected end of archive error when unzipping. The zip file should be 253kb but when I download it it's only 212kb.

- Was the install easy? Did it work as expected?
One hitch with the install, posted above.

- Do IBPro games work for you without a hack now?
They are working but I have yet to remove the hack &amp; test atm...

- Did the zip file installs work for you?
One hitch with the install, posted above.

- Does the rating system work for you?
I have what appears to be a div issue with the stars
(the 'high lighted' version shows up half way down the static star when rolled over, Im using IE7).

- Does the new control panel work for you?
Looks &amp; works great so far.


- Does the JomComment/Shoutbox integration work for you?
Shoutbox announce works, we do not use jomcomment.


- Does negative and decimal score saving work for you?


- Does the keepalive function work for you?
Not sure yet, need to do more testing in this area...

- Are the Module/Itemid bugs fixed for you?
Mostly fixed, once a score is submited the hi-scores show on thier own fresh page, when clicking 'Play this game again' side bars are lost.

- Do the scores display under the games if you have it enabled to do so? Does it look ok to you?
Looks &amp; works great.


- Are you able to have multiple columns of folders? How does that look in your template?
Single &amp; 2 column look very good on our template.

I opened up the game section on our site for outside viewing/testing. http://www.vodguild.com
More testing to come...<br><br>Post edited by: arsdigita, at: 2007/06/30 02:48

I have succesfully installed the d version!
Everything looks fine!! I will give my comment in a short time. I have to testing first.

I must be stupid or something cause I can't see a download link. When I click the link you provided Pragma,I see a &quot;details&quot; screen about 2.1.1, but I can't find a way to download it. I am logged in. Perhaps you didn't add me to the group that has access to the download?
