Two Vbulletin Questions - Add an Arcade and Youtube Vid's

J S · #1 12-05-2006, 09:13 AM

We have recently updated our forum to vbulletin and I would like to add an arcade for our members...

I know a few of you have arcades added in and have just recently started searching around the net for info on where to go to get good games and how it all works.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. I want the games asteroids and donkey kong for sure!

2nd question - I would like to post youtube vid's directly into the forum with the video playing right there in the forum (not having to click over to youtoube to watch it). Anyone know how to do this?

Thx!

The you tube is easy, they provide a code just right of the video you want to add, just add that code where you want the video to play, i use them on my sites! You can also resize the video if you like!

yeah, i know they have the imbed object file (we can add youtube vids on .html pages no prob)... but I couldn't figure out how to use that code directly into a vbulletin forum (such as this one). I could just be overlooking how to do it, but I couldn't get it to work.

JS,

Vbulletin.org has everything you need in terms of mods.

Example, the YouTube mod is found here http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...hlight=youtube

Everything with the new vbulletin versions are done via plugins so it makes it really easy even for the novice webmaster to install these plugins.

Check this thread, I think it's what you are looking for.

Edit: Sorry didn't see Nick0r's post. Yes, using a plugin is easier.

Arcade - I havn't tried this script; I see Donkey Kong, but no Astroids:

V3 arcade comes default with Asteroids IIRC.

awesome, thanks guys. uploading the plugin for youtube and going to look into V3 arcade (do you get that from vbulletin.org as well?)

Yep.

How much traffic does V3arcade?
Will hostgator SWAMP *package be enough for this too? (main site+a rakebackone+a casino one+ v3 arcade maybe)

* 200gb space
2000 gb traffic

cheers
