However, before any commitment, is there any test-board we can play with to see how it's like or at least screenshots, or is this pretty much the same as the abandoned arcade mod for now?

Whoever says he's stealing work obviously doesn't understand how open source works under the GPL license.

Thanks. At the moment the only changed from the ABD MOD are some find fixes for AutoMOD and compatibility for 3.0.8

Nobody claims that stealing.
For my part I say that nothing meaningful improvements are not included in this release.

This version is not worth installing.

You should never have user facing files in includes/ To edit the original htaccess file is to do it the wrong way. Rewrite the MOD instead.

Well this is a strange discussion going on here. I asked some time ago at origon.dk about the ABD status of this mod and the site admin confirmed me that Jeff will be back maintaining his mod after a certain off-time.

I'd suggest to try get in touch with him over the origon.dk admins - maybe they have a closer connection. If that fails as well there is no need to blame anybody who want's to keep this mod over. In the meantime every hotfix for phpBB 3.0.8 is very welcome of course. Speaking of that I don't really understand if there's a fix needed since some people did confirm that they have no problems with 8.0.8 and the arcade mod. Is ist just related to autoMOD users?

I install all mods manually that's why assume that there is no hotfix needed in this case or am I wrong?

I did contact Jeff Russo himself and got no reply. I dont' understand why contacting admins on another site would help?

There is an issue as well as the autoMOD fix. You add the following to the includes/.htaccess at the moment. But this is a bad way to fix it and the mod needs some serious changes as tumba25 said.

Code: Select all

<Files swfobject.js>
   Order Allow,Deny
   Allow from All
</Files>

Plus there are some bugs inside the arcade MOD as there were for 3.0.7-PL1.

This version is also supported and being improved and updated.

IIRC that admin is the co-admin on Jeff's page as well so I can imagine that he might have other ways to get in touch.

His MOD doens't work with 3.0.8 and it also has a number of bugs in it.

Huh??? I installed 3.08 and all works fine. I never had to adjust the .htaccess code either.

Due to the fact this is a development topic for a Modification, we require that discussion here stays limited to development and testing related. Any other talk will be removed from the topic and repeat offenders will be warned. If you have any questions regarding the GPLv2, you can read it here.

Since it looks like significant recoding may be involved maybe the [RC] prefix should be replaced with [DEV] until the recoding is substantially written and tested.

I think DEV is a bit much. I think I'll stick it back into beta.
