Bug Broken links on games

[jstear]

All my game links are going back to /# instead of their respected links. If I click "Play" from within admincp they work, but not in the actual arcade tab. Arcade - Heads Up Gaming is where they are now.

vB 5.0.5 changed the way URLs are created, so the old method I used for generating URLs no longer works. I will be updating all our vB5 mods to fix it as soon as I have the time

Is there anyway I can manually edit them or fix it?

Do you have a timeframe on this?

This should actually be an easy fix. Since the "Play" link works in the admincp, shouldn't it be as simple as just replacing the hyperlink in the arcade with the hyperlink in the admincp?

No, it requires a bunch of PHP/DB changes.

Unfortunately not, sorry. Due to the constant changes in vB5 we've elected to keep the vB5 versions in an "Alpha" stage until we feel that new changes aren't going to affect our mods, in order to get a bit more breathing room in cases like these.

It's unfortunate that this happened when it did, but I'm currently swamped with other projects and I don't have an ETA on when I'll have time to look into this, sorry.

The AdminCP and front-end work very differently, so that change may work for one forum and it may break on another.

Just wanted to let you know that the links to play the games are working now, not sure why. Now, I am getting a problem with scores not recording. So far I am only using Mochi games, not sure how to add others yet.

Please do not bump threads

As you can probably tell, we are extremely busy with the vB 4.2.2 update, so it will be a while before I have a chance to look at vB5 mods. vBulletin 5 mods are labelled "Alpha" (meaning they are very likely to break, in a more unfinished state than "Beta" and certainly more so than "Release") for this reason.

vB5 itself is in a very active state of development, and they are constantly making changes that improve the software as a whole, but unfortunately it sometimes has the side-effect of breaking custom modifications.

The vast majority of our customers are running vB3 or vB4, and our top priority is to ensure that this majority have fully working forums & mods


Thank you for your understanding and patience, and sorry for the inconvenience
