6900 Game Pack Images

[theodurus]

I have the above mentioned games pack, and I've noticed that with the images that come with them, some are missing. These are in the range of 6900 and 7000 (for filenames). As I said, only some (not sure how many) of these are missing.

Is there a way I can get hold of these?

TIA

Are you sure they are missing or are they just not displaying?
If you're sure that the files are missing then I'll take a look and see what I can do.
but.. you might wanna try chmod -R 777 on the images.

[theodurus]

Yes. They are definitely missing. I have cross-checked the missing files and the image that should be displayed.

[Adam LaCombe]

Okay, sorry about that.
I will speak to the others and see what we can do for you.

[Adam LaCombe]

Could I see your website where this game pack was installed?

The most I could do for you if its a ton of missing images would be to give you a discount.
Refunds can not be given as game packs are a digital product and can't be sent back.

If there are only a few (0 - 30-ish) I may just be able to find images to match the games for you and I would then fix the game pack for future customers.

Again, my apologies for the missing images.
If there is a better solution you cant think of please let me know and we can work this out.

[theodurus]

Yeah, the site is at http://www.theodurus.com. I think there are only about a couple of dozen images missing so it's not too bad.

Looking at the location of the missing images it links to: http://www.theodurus.com/games/thumbs/http://www.playpink.com/exclusive/heidi-and-spencer/heidi-and-spencer-180x135.jpg

It should be: http://www.playpink.com/exclusive/heidi-and-spencer/heidi-and-spencer-180x135.jpg

Did you add games manually aside from the game pack?
If so that is your problem..
You added the games under "hosted" when they should be under "enabled".

When games are added under "hosted" it will look for thumbnails and games file inside your preset directories (/games/thumbs or /games).
So when you added a url (http://website.com/game/images/file.jpg) it added your domain/game-directory/thumb-directory/http://other-domain/games/thumbs/file.jpg)

Change the type of game it is to "enabled" and it should work. Do that for every game you added that is missing a thumbnail.

Hi,

No, the games were added automatically and as they were, they are all set to 'enabled'. I have checked a couple of the games which have missing images, and they are all like this. All I would need to do is change the "playplink" part with the proper filename. Unfortunately, I don't know what these are.

[Adam LaCombe]

Yeah for some reason those games are enabled instead of hosted.
They should be enabled though because you don't host the thumbs or game file.

Could you give me a sql dump of just one of those games?

[theodurus]

Okay, done an sql dump of one of the files which is attached.

[Adam LaCombe]

Hmm weird.
I'll have to talk to Kurt about these enabled code games inside a game pack.

Basically you need to set the type as '2'. Remove the thumb url from 'thumb' and place it inside 'thumburl'. Remove the swf url from 'file' and place it in 'enabledcode'.

The 'enabledcode' filed should look like this:

Code: [Select]


<object width="WIDTH" height="HEIGHT">
<param name="movie" value="SWF_FILE_URL">
<embed src="SWF_FILE_URL" width="WIDTH" height="HEIGHT">
</embed>
</object>

How well do you know php?
If you have a pretty good understanding of php what you could do if there are too many games that are not loading or display thumbs is.. create a script that would pull the data you want and then UPDATE each row with the new data and have it in the correct fields.

If you really need help doing this just let me know and I'll set up a script to fix it.

I'll go ahead and contact Kurt and see if he can fix this game pack.

[theodurus]

Thanks for that! I was able to go through the database and make the relevant changes. There wasn't as many as I thought (half a dozen?).

[Adam LaCombe]

Okay great! Glad that fixed the problem.
