It's worth noting with the above file that some language files have been removed. That was done so that new languge files can be added by others.

Quote from: Dave on September 20, 2025, 04:26:42 AMI have attached a mod that was used in 2.0 that does what you want, but it needs updating to 2.1 if you want to use it on the latest SMF version

That particular file attached in the previous post has a mysql error, I've fixed that in the one attached to this post. I have installed this on a test 2.0 site I have on localhost and it works fine, so you just need someone to update it for 2.1

There are different skins & lists to choose from which show that info in different formats.
However, currently there isn't a skin that allows an admin to change the order of its layout other than enabling/disabling some of what is displayed and/or the amount of info displayed (ie. number of champions, games, etc.).

If you have some HTML/JavaScript/CSS experience then you can manually edit a skin template to a custom display of Arcade data.
This sort of thing can also be developed to use a skin hook that can be shared amongst Arcade admins.

hey all first of brillient job on the arcade modifacation i love it!

however im wondering how/if i could rearrange/remove certain iitemsin the arcade info screen (latest games, champions ect)

any help would be greatly recieved

12 hour shifts will do that! 

I'm not positive I understand the Arcade email behavior.
So I think you're saying precursory is working but signature and inline css is not?
 

Precursory works correctly, but the following are not displayed correctly:
- The signature
- Custom Inline CSS
- Message Inline CSS

All this data is configured in Zhenmailer, but Arcade does not use it.
I understand that the arcade code must be edited to include those values in the same way that the precursor was included.

Hi Chen,

That's working fine now tested on both Hobby and Quizland, thank you

I see I neglected to put in backslashes which caused it to throw an error.
Anonymous functions can be used to negate the use of backslashes in that part of the code.

The cache was messing up the use of that best players function, so try this with a custom function included:

Please let me know if it resolves your reported issue.
