HTML source needed?

Hi,

Ive been asked if I can add some arcade games to my forum, and ive been searching on here. And figured I may have to add another HTML page.

Ive got to the part that I need, but I dont know what HTML source I need, or where to find one.

Could someone please help me?

My forum is

www.bullbreedsunite.niceboard.org if you need it?

Thankyou.

Hello,

To put games, first of all, you need to find games that you want to put on your site. You can search for flash games on google and get the source code of that game. Most of the game sites provide source code to put game on your site.

You just have to copy and paste that code to your HTML page and save
You can search goole for keywords like 'flash games for website'.

Hope this helps

Ok, just one more question then.

If I go to the add new page bit, i can put more than 1 code in the HTML source? Or do I have to add each game individually?

Thankyou.

If you add more than one code for one game on one html page, then you'll have more than one screen on the html page displaying the arcade game.

P.S, if you would like a link to a site that offers you arcade games, also giving you the source codes, private message me,

Also, all credits will go to Krik for that arcade,

Ok, im quite impressed with myself being able to add a game, lol! But where is it?

I found it, via way of preview, but where has the page gone?

You need to add the link of the game page to your forum manually.

There are many ways.

1) Add link in your site navigation bar...
Admin CP > Display > Headers & Navigation > Add customized menu

2) Put link in a custom widget block...
Admin CP > Modules > Forum Widget Management > Create custom block.

3) Add link in your forum homepage message...
Admin CP > Display > Generalities > Homepage Message.

Hi, ankillien, so what ive done so far with the game is correct? Making the HTML page?

If I was to add them to the Nav bar, would this not mean that I have 10, 20, 30 even extra tabs? Or could I add one tab, and this would take you to a page with the other games on? If that makes sense?

Adding 10, 20, 30 links in nav bar won't look good

You can add links to games in a custom widget box or you can also put it in a forum description.

To put a link you can use this HTML code...

Code:

<a href="GAME PAGE LINK HERE">GAME NAME HERE</a>

Hope this helps

Ok, im new to this so please excuse me

Would I need a widget for each game?

Is it impossible to have somethings along the lines of this?

Or is it impossible for a newbie lol! And if it is possible, am I allowed to request someone on here to help sort it out with me?

Miniclip.com has a pretty cool arcade. You can get the script, throw it on an html page, and post the link of it on your forum.

well i will be writing up a few different ways to have arcades.

level one arcade being simple and easy to set up.
level two arcade setting up a basic index with stickies.
level three arcade being what i call a mega arcade. all three concepts are easy to apply but it depends how much work your willing to put into it if you where to do level two or three.

here is an example link of one i am working on now.
this would be conciderd the mega arcade when completed.
it's basically just all in the indexing. as far as haveing the games. you just add them to your site. it's the linking,adding the grid,creating the text images and adding the game logos that takes the most time.

anyway when this arcade is finished i will then write up a new tutorial on how to do it. once again it's an easy concept and not hard to do it just depends how much work you want to put into it.

example arcade.. the game codes are there to if you want to use them on your forums.

So it will be at least two more weeks befor i can have everthing writen up on the 3 methods i have plus i will have to get them approved here as well. there is an arcade tutorial here now. but my ways are a lil different and updated versions.

Hi,


Just about the copying and pasting onto the source code, I have tried to do this also. It seems as though the source code is locked?


How can you edit it?
