ONLINE GAMES MODULE

To start working with this module you need to install it. The module can be installed in the Control Panel of your website -> "Inactive" tab.

When installing the module you will see two options:

Without content and Online games set

If you select without content you will have a full-featured module that you will be able to use as you like. Module name by default will be "Online Games" but it can be changed in Control Panel in module settings; there you can also customize fields for adding of new entries. Default phrases for the module can be changed in the "Substitution of default phrases" section on the main page of Control Panel.

If you select Online games set you will not only get a full-featured ready-to-work module, but also content with the possibility of its regular updating (the option "Update game database automatically" during installation). The default set includes games of various genres and categories – online games, downloadable games, mobile games.
You can edit/delete all default content and add your own games.

The new module "Online Games" is one of the most general-purpose modules. It has such possibilities as adding of sections, categories, filters; a lot of additional fiends; new features added by default.

Module templates have the new rating system by default (in the form of stars).

It has the following code in Page with entry full text and its comments template:

Code

<?$RSTARS$('30','/.s/img/stars/3/30.png','1','float')?>

There are 12 different image sets, each of them is available in 4 sizes.

$IMGS_ARRAY_JS$ is realized in the module – in the form of screenshots on the page with entry full text and its comments.

When adding an entry, you fill the field "Images" by means of uploading your images which are then displayed as thumbnails on an entry page. After you click on such thumbnail, an Ajax window with all images of this entry will open.

It's not so hard.

Link to game file for PC:
Insert the link to your game file if it's for PC
(PC is a conventional computer and it uses Windows)

Link to game file for MAC:
Insert the link to your game file if it's for MAC
(MAC is a different type of computer and it uses another operating system, not windows)

Link to game file for Mobile:
Insert the link to your game file if it's for Mobile
(Mobile = cellphone and etc)

Platform

Online
Check it if your game can be played online
(No need to download it)

Downloadable
Check it if your game needs to be downloaded to be played

Mobile
Check it if your game runs only on mobiles
(Mobile = cellphone and etc)

Hope this helps you.

I've made grammar mistakes ?? Google's fault !!

You must be doing something wrong. How did you upload the screenshots?
It's working fine for me. Did you browse and select the screenshots?

Hmm.. Strange. I see you uploaded the images in "png" format. Try uploading it in "jpg" format. Just try and see whether it's working or not.

Hmm... If it's not working, Remove all the images you have added and save the page. Then again add the images. This may help.

Nope, its not worked. But .png files should work anyway.

Code

Images [b][?][/b]

When you click the "?" this Helper comes up and says:

Quote (helper)

Only GIF, JPEG, PNG image formats are accepted.

You may insert images into any place of an entry with the help of the special codes $IMAGE1$, $IMAGE2$, $IMAGE3$...

An image may be aligned relative to text in the following way: $IMAGE1-left$.

But other than that, its not worked at all. All the games added by uCoz work but the ones I add manualy dont show the screenshot wacko
Here is an example of a game I manualy uploaded: http://gamescenter.ucoz.com/stuff/other/ragdoll_avalanche_2/7-1-0-5009

Hmm.. Mistory i know we can use "png" also, but it's just a try to change it to "jpg".
Am not sure what's the problem. Dartz or Sunny will help.

For me adding two images isn't a problem. Did you touch any code or
settings of game module? Like "Fields of a new entry form" in Module
Settings? Also, show us which type of images you're trying to upload.
