SMF Arcade Support + Plugins / Re: Searching by Category?
Last post by Grammy - February 08, 2025, 09:48:06 AM
Quote from: Chen Zhen on February 07, 2025, 07:35:01 PMIf you select a category while in the arcade & search for games, you don't have to use the popup suggestions.
Just hit enter or the search button and it will search your criteria in the current selected category.

Note that the system records the selected category & stays focused on it until you select another (or all).
 

I see.  Thank you so much, Chen.   :)

Currently the short answer is no.

If you want to search by Category it means that you probably know the name of the game you're after. The current search function finds all games in all categories, by just starting to type a game name it will start to produce results below the search box which when clicked on will take you to that game.

Alternatively select the category you want to search in and then list a-z and go through the category that way, as the settings allow you to have as many games on a page as you like, it probably wouldn't take long to find the game your after. The member settings, for games on a page, override the main arcade settings.

After Chen reads this he may have a solution for you but I don't know of one that will do what you ask, sorry

SMF Arcade Support + Plugins / Searching by Category?
Last post by Grammy - February 06, 2025, 11:36:11 AM
Hi.  Just installed the latest SMF arcade on my 2.1.4 default forum.  It's working beautifully.  I just wondered, though, from within the arcade itself, is it possible to be able to search for games by category?  Currently, I see "Latest, A-Z, Z-A, Most Popular, Lease Popular, Champions, Latest Champions, Rating, and Favorites".  Is there any sort of file edit that would add the categories to the search?  Currently, since the arcade is new, I only have "Default, Cards, Mahjong, Arcade, Matching, and Word Games". 

I'm sorry if this has already been asked, I didn't come across it using the search.

Thank you.   :)

So the unassigned cat icon stays solo on the left?
I recently changed the css to use flex containers so perhaps I missed testing that scenario.

SMF Arcade Support + Plugins / Issue with the category window
Last post by Dave - February 01, 2025, 09:26:08 AM
Hi Chen,

It seems there is an issue with the category window when you install games but don't assign them a category at the start and the game goes in to the unassigned category, see attached
