A couple questions regarding phpAS from Stephan

[JanArve]

Stephan asked me a couple questions through PM, and I thought I could post them here so everybody could benefit from the answers.

1. In the admin are settings for members to get points for referrals, but where is the referral link for the member?

Answer: This link appears automatically in the user profile.

2. The image verification is not matching for tell a friend and report broken game, anybody knows a fix for this? Strange the verification for the admin login works fine.

Answer: This is an confirmed bug, and a fix for this will be released in the next couple of weeks along with a number of other bug fixes.

3. Are there no pages to display all top played games or most played games? I search on some phpas sites but can’t find anybody show this pages. Do I have to custom code them?

Answer: No, there is currently no page that will display all top played / most played game. A little additional question though, did you want ALL the games on the arcade to be listed in this order, or just one full page of games?

I hope these answers are of some use to somebody.

Nice you post it here

1. NO, I have no URL on the user profile page, I purchased a template but also try it with the default and can’t see anything, so what code is pulling this info?

2. lets hope, more and more I see scripts getting sold but no updates coming out, and I don’t talk only about phpas.

3. phpas is a very nice script if you like to build up a member based arcade, more bad this one don’t have this pages, most trade scripts have this options.

I also never understand why coders not just code the script pages with an option in admin to set the page to show all, show X amount, sort ABC or top plaid, views, etc. Can’t be so hard to do this.

I personally would like to show all games sorted by top rated, but there is the next problem, bug, phpas4 don’t use the rating table in DB!?

Hey Stephan,

1. I've had a little look, and it appears to be missing from at least a few templates (I haven't checked them all). I've noted it down so it will be taken care of in the with the next bug fix release.

2. It is true unfortunately that phpAS have been neglected lately, but phpAS is about to take a huge u-turn and really shape up! More to come on this in the coming weeks

3. I've noted it down for a feature upgrade to make it easier to control and add more pages such as these ones. It'll take a little while longer for this to get out though as its full crunch time on bug fixing atm.

phpAS v4 have rating on each game and it is calculated like so: rating = totalvotepoints/totalvotes.

So if:
totalvotes = 5
and
totalvotepoints = 20
then
rating = 4

These are stored for each game in the games table.

Hope that makes sense
