Basically, this will teach you how to make a custom arcade containing games from sites where they give you embed codes to use their games, like miniclip.com.

Some basic knowledge of HTML is recommended.

GETTING THE EMBED CODES
Any site which offers you games to use on your website usually gives you embed codes. For example, http://www.miniclip.com/games/en/webmaster-games.php.
Get the embed codes for all the games that you plan to use in your arcade.

MAKING THE ARCADE
This is fairly complicated. We'll use dynamic iframes for this. First, you need to make an individual HTML file for each of the games.
Code:

 
Code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>REPLACE</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
PLACE THE EMBED CODE HERE
</BODY>
</HTML>[code]


  [color=blue]You need to make one individual HTML file for each of your games. Replace 'PLACE THE EMBED CODE HERE' with the embed code for that game.. Also, replace 'REPLACE' with the game's name. Once you are done customizing the code, put it in notepad and save it as '*.html'. Replace * with a meaningful name that will tell you which game's it is. Upload the files somewhere (I prefer Google Pagecreator) Remember the urls of the files.

Now, you need the actual page that will be displayed to your users.
[/color]

 Code:

[code]<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Arcade</TITLE>
<script>
function loadIframe(id,theURL) {
document.getElementById(id).src = theURL;
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" id="AutoNumber1">
<tr>
<td width="25%"> </td>
<td width="75%"> <iframe id="arc" src="game1">Sorry, your browser does not support iframes</iframe> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</BODY>
</HTML>[code]

That is the outline for the body.
In between <td width=25%> and the </td> following it, you place 1 link to each of the games.  Also, replace 'game1' with the url of the first game. This will be the game which will be shown by default.
For each of the games, you put this code between <td width=25%> and </td>

Code:
[code]<a href="javascript:void(0);" onmousedown="loadiframe('arc','THEURL')">REPLACE THIS WITH THE GAME'S NAME</a>[code]

You can also put this just before </BODY>:

Code:
[code]<a href="javascript:history.go(-1);">Go back</a>[code]

 That will take you user back to your forum.
That will give you the HTML for the page which will be shown to your users. Copy-paste it into notepad and save it as Arcade.html
Upload it anywhere. I prefer Google PageCreator. Remember the URL, once again.
You can make any changes on that page to make it look better.

REDIRECTING YOUR USER
Then place this code into your headers/footers:

Code:

 [code]<script>
if(location.href.match(/action=arcade/i)) {
location.href="THE URL";
}
</script>[code]


 Replace 'THE URL' with arcade.html's access url.
eg. http://vikhyatk.googlepages.com/arcade.html
That will basically take your user to your page instead of the default SMF Arcade. Note that you need the SMF arcade installed for this to work.


If you have any questions, feel free to ask

Admin Cp Member Section


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
View all members

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the default page when going to the Members section of your admin panel. Here you will see a list of all the members on your forum.

The list of users shows this information:

ID - Their User ID.
Username - Their username, the actual name they registered with.
Display Name - The name that shows to other users.
Email Address - their email address.
IP Address - Their last known IP Address.
Last Online - The last time they were online, in days.
Posts - Their total Post count.

The last column is a check box, only select the members you wish to delete. The very top box will check or uncheck all Member boxes


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Search for members

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This section allows you to search for members of your Forum using many different filters.
You can search for members with an ID, age, posts, date registered, last online; with the values of: less than value inputted, less or equal to, exactly equal to, equal to or greater, or just greater than. So for example, you could use Posts => 300 and User age > 20 to list all members that have 300 or more posts and are older than 20 years of age.

You can narrow the search down even more by selecting the gender of the members you wish to list, the activation status of the member, and the membergroups the Member belongs to.

You can also try to find member(s) by their username, email address, website, location, ip address, and messenger address.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Awaiting Activation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This page displays a list of all of the members on your forum that have not activated their accounts. This page is only accessible if you have the setting: Method of registration employed for new members set to Member Activation or are using some other method of registration but have Members that registered when Member activation was once required. Another way there may be unactivated accounts is if you registered a member through the admin panel and had the checkbox "Require user to activate the account" checked.

The following information is shown on this page, associated with each member that awaits approval by an administrator:

ID - Their member ID.
Username - Their Username, the actual name they registered with.
IP Address - Their last known IP Address.
Registered - Their registration date

On the far right of this page are checkboxes that each correspond with the member they are next to. You can click any of the checkboxes you want and then use the selection box at the bottom of the page to pick what you want to do with the members who you checked.

You can perform the following tasks on the members you select on this page:

Activate the selected members - This activates the selected members' accounts. They will now be able to login and do whatever their permissions set for them allow them to do. Prior to being activated, the unactivated members are presented with this message when they try to login: "Your email address needs to be validated before you can login."
Activate and send email to the selected members - This will activate the selected members' accounts as explained above, but will also email the selected members, notifying them that their accounts were activated.
Delete selected members' accounts - This will delete the selected members' accounts, making it so they will not be able to login at any point. Note: Use this with caution as the deleted members' will be permanently deleted.
Delete and send email to selected members' - This will delete the selected members' accounts, but unlike the above option, will also send the members an email telling them that they were deleted. Just as the option before, this option will permanently delete the accounts of those selected for deletion.
Remind and send email to the selected members - This will email the selected members' accounts to remind them to activate their accounts.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Awaiting Approval

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This page displays a list of all of the members on your forum that are waiting for their account to be approved by an Administrator. This page is only accessible if you have the setting: Method of registration employed for new members set to Member Approval or are using some other method of registration but have Members that registered when Member activation was once required.

The following information is shown on this page, associated with each member that awaits approval by an administrator:

ID - Their member ID.
Username - Their Username, the actual name they registered with.
IP Address - Their last known IP Address.
Registered - Their registration date

On the far right of this page are checkboxes that each correspond with the member they are next to. You can click any of the checkboxes you want and then use the selection box at the bottom of the page to pick what you want to do with the members who you checked.

You can perform the following tasks on the members you select on this page:

Approve the selected members - This activates the selected members' accounts. They will now be able to login and do whatever their permissions set for them allow them to do. Prior to being approved, unapproved members are presented with this message when they try to login: "Your account is still awaiting admin approval."
Approve and send email to the selected members - This will approve the selected members' accounts as explained above, but will also email the selected members, notifying them that their accounts were approved.
Approve and require reactivation for the selected members - This will approve the selected members' accounts, however will still require the members' to reactivate their account by email.
Reject selected members' accounts - This will reject the selected members' accounts, making it so they will not be able to login at any point. Note: This will delete the selected members' accounts.
