Setting up MyArcadePlugin Pro

When you click on "Settings", you will get to the MyArcadePlugin Pro administration page. In
this chapter, I will guide you through all settings and explain you how to setup your new arcade
site.
Mochi Settings
Mochi Media is one of the biggest flash game distributors. Mochi has over 30.000 free games in
his database that we will use for our arcade site. First, you should create a Mochi user account.
An account is needed if you want to earn some extra money from Mochi and if you want to save
game scores.
If you do not have a Mochi Media account, click here to create one:
https://www.mochimedia.com/r/23f4b6b9ad680165
Mochi Media Feed URL
This field contains the URL to the Mochi Media's game feed. The default value is:
http://www.mochimedia.com/feeds/games/
Mochi Publisher ID & Publisher Secret Key

If you just have registered on Mochi, then you have to change your account type from
"Developer" to "Publisher". Therefore, click on "Publishers", accept "Terms of Service" and click
on "Send".
Now click on "Settings". The next thing you should do is to verify your Domain. Just follow the
instructions on the Mochi's site. To get your Publisher ID scroll down on the settings page to
the "Bridge Settings" section. There you will see your Publisher ID and your Publisher Secret
Key.
Copy and paste these ID's to the corresponding fields on MyArcade Mochi Settings.
Feed Games
Feed Games gives you the option to setup how many games should be fetched every time you
click on "Fetch Games" and start fetching.
If you want to feed all games that Mochi Media offers, then leave this field blank but keep in
mind that this can take a while and that your server can overload. This is not recommended!!
To avoid server overloads we would suggest you to use values between 100 and 1000.
Filter by Tag
You may choose this option to include games that include or exclude a tag. To exclude a tag you
must preface it with a minus sign (-).
Example 1: '-zh-cn' will exclude all Chinese games
Example 2: '-snow' will exclude all Game that are tagged to snow
Example 3: 'snow' will include only games tagged to snow.
Enter tags without quotes ( ' )!
Mochi Auto Game Feeding (Cron)

This option allows you to turn your games site into an autoblog. If this option is checked,
MyArcadePlugin Pro will fetch Mochi games automatically.
Go to "General Settings" to select a fetch (cron) interval.
Special Categories
Mochi Media provides some special game categories e.g. Premium Games, Featured Games
Games that will bring you money are tagged to Coin Enabled and games that are able to save
user scores are tagged to Leaderboard Games.
Enable Global Mochi Scores

To achieve more game plays many Mochi games are able to save user scores. The scores can be
saved locally at your site and on Mochi's server.
With this option, you can enable the score submitting to Mochi Media and this option will
enable a global Leaderboard Widget that you can drop into your sidebar.
We would recommend enabling this setting. That could bring you more visitors and keep the
visitors on your site.
HeyZap Settings
HeyZap is another big flash game distributor. Compared with Mochi Media, HeyZap does not
offer score submitting but they have many social and multiplayer games.
To be able to fetch HeyZap games a user account is needed. Click on the following link and sign
up on HeyZap: http://heyzap.com/publishers/
HeyZap Feed URL
This field contains the URL to the HeyZap's games feed. The default value is:
http://www.heyzap.com/publisher_api/v2/
Edit this entry only when HeyZap feed url has been changed otherwise MyArcadePlugin will not
work properly.
Site Key & Secret Key
To be able to fetch more than 10 games at once you have to enter valid site and secret key.
Feed Games
Feed Games gives you the option to setup how many games should be fetched when you click
on "Fetch Games" and start fetching of HeyZap games. HeyZap allows you to use values
between 1 and 200.
Game Variants
HeyZap offers two kinds of games that you can add to your site: SWF and Embed games. The
most of the social and multiplayer games are "Embed-Games". If you want to fetch all HeyZap
games then you need to select "SWF + Embed Games".

This option allows you to turn your games site into an autoblog. If this option is checked,
MyArcadePlugin Pro will fetch HeyZap games automatically.
Go to "General Settings" to select a fetch (cron) interval.
Playtomic Settings
Like Mochi and HeyZap, Playtomic offers you also a lot of quality games for your site.
http://playtomic.com
Playtomic Feed URL
http://playtomic.com/games/feed/mochi
Edit this entry only when Playtomic feed url has been changed otherwise MyArcadePlugin will
not work properly.
Languages
Here you can select the languages what the games should have. Only game tagged to the
selected languages will be inserted into your games database.
Audience
Playtomic offers you to filter games by audience: Everyone, Teens and Mature. If you want to
fetch all games then uncheck all the options.
Advertisement
In this drop down you can select what advertisements the games should have included. Every
selection except "Any" will limit the number of games that you will get from Playtomic.
Thereby, I would recommend you to choose "Any" for this setting.
Leaderboards
On this setting you can limit the leaderboard type of games that should be fetched.
MyArcadePlugin support Mochi Scores and it is recommended to select "Mochi Media" if you
want to save scores on your site.
Every selection except "Any" will limit the number of games that you will get from Playtomic.
Microtransactions
Playtomic doesn't provide a description of this setting.
Minimum Rating
Playtomic calculates an engagement rating for all games which is a score out of 100 for how fun
the game is according to actual player data. A rating of 90 or more is an excellent game but you
will get fewer games. 70 or more is a great game. 50 or more is a good game. Below 50 many not
be very good.
Fetch Games
How many Playtomic games should be fetched at once. Leave blank if you want to fetch all
games (not recommended). This option only affects the manual game fetching. It is
recommended to use values between 100 and 1000 to avoid server overload.
Kongregate Settings
Kongregate provides a sponsored games XML feed that you can add to your site. The feed is
updated regularly.
http://www.kongregate.com/
Kongregate Feed URL
http://www.kongregate.com/games_for_your_site.xml
Edit this entry only when HeyZap feed url has been changed otherwise MyArcadePlugin will not
work properly.
General Settings
In this chapter, the global settings for MyArcadePlugin Pro are described.
Save User Scores
This option enables the score submitting to your site. If the checkbox is checked,
MyArcadePlugin Pro will save submitted user scores.
Actually, MyArcadePlugin Pro is able to save following score types:
Mochi Media Scores (Publisher ID and Publisher Secret Key needed)
IBPArcade Scores
Save Only Highscores

Activate this option if you want to save only the highest score that a user has achieved per game.
That means that only one score per game and per user will be saved. If the option is deactivated,
all submitted scores will be saved (default value).
Publish Games

click on "Add Games To Blog".
Post Status
Here you can select how new game posts should be added to your blog.
"Publish" This option will publish the game posts immediately.
"Draft" This option will only add the game posts to your blog. They will not be published.
Thereby, you will be able to edit or review each post before you publish it.
"Scheduled" will publish games in a time interval, in minutes. For example, if you want to
publish every hour one game then enter 60 into the field "Schedule Time".
Download Thumbnails, Games & Screenshots

These options allow you to download game files, thumbnails or screenshots to your server. That
will speed up the loading of your site and your site will be independent of the game distributor.
In the other hand, enabling these options will increase your disc usage and your traffic.
When the download options are disabled, MyArcadePlugin will only link to the game files.
Make sure that the following directories are writeable (chmod 777):
wp-content/games
wp-content/thumbs
Delete Game Files

This option will delete downloaded game files when you delete a game post from your blog. That
will free up your disc usage.

The fetching will trigger when someone visits your site, if the scheduled time has passed. On
each trigger MyArcadePlugin Pro will get the latest game. That means: one game per trigger.
Game Categories To Feed
At this section you see all the categories that game distributors (Mochi Media and HeyZap)
currently offer. Select categories from which the games should be fetched.

category. This option is useful if you have a mixed blog and not only a pure arcade portal.
Use Only The First Category

Many Mochi Media and HeyZap games are tagged to more than one category. Activate this option
to avoid game publishing in more than one category.
When this option is checked, MyArcadePlugin Pro will only use the first category of a game!
Publish In A Single Category
This option will publish all games only in the selected category. This option is useful if you have a
mixed blog and not only a pure arcade site.
Max. Game Width

automatically resize bigger games to the given width. This option will prevent your theme from
demolition trough games that are too wide.

code in your posts. This option is very useful if you are using a default WordPress theme and not a
special arcade theme e.g. FunGames.

arcade sites. This text area allows you the usage of HTML and special MyArcadePlugin Pro
placeholders to style the game post. This feature will work for all standard WordPress themes

many games a guest can play before he needs to register.
Set to 0 to deactivate the game play check.

How to use MyArcadePlugin Pro

When you have adjusted the settings, you can start to populate your new arcade site with flash
games. MyArcadePlugin Pro offers you several options to do that. You can fetch Mochi Media,
HeyZap, Playtomic and Kongregate games or you can import individual games.
Fetching and publishing

The easiest way to add a big number of games is to use integrated "Game Fetching" features. A
single click on "Fetch Games" will bring you to a new page where you can select a game
distributor and populate your games database with new games.
While fetching MyArcadePlugin will download the game feed and add many games to your
database.
After the game fetching is run, you will get an output like this:
At this point, the games are added to your database and are not visible to your visitors. Now you
have two options to publish the fetched games: Manual Publishing and Automated Publishing
Automated Publishing
A single click on "Publish Games" is sufficient to publish a defined number of games on your
site. The number of games can be adjusted under "General Settings" "Publish Games".
With that feature, you are able to populate your new site with thousands of games in just a few
minutes.
Manual Publishing
The second method to publish games on your site is to use the manual publishing. After the
game fetching, you will get a game box for each fetched game with some buttons. There you can
preview each game, edit game details like description, instructions, tags or categories. A single
click on "Publish" will publish a single game on your site.
Offset Game Fetching

On the "Fetch Games" page you have two methods to get games from game distributors: Lates
Games and Use Offset.
Latest games fetching will get the last X games from the game distributor but if you want to
fetch older games, you will need to use the Offset method.
Offset fetching will help you to fetch older games without overload your server. Thereby,
MyArcadePlugin Pro will download the given number of games from the given offset.
Mochi offers over 30.000 games. If you leave blank the setting "Feed Games" under "Mochi
Settings", MyArcadePlugin Pro will fetch all available games. That means that a huge feed has
to be downloaded and encoded. That will cause an overload of most web servers. To void this
overload you should use offset feeding like this:
Select "Use Offset" and enter 1.000 at "Fetch" and 2.000 for offset. When you now click on "Fetch
Games", MyArcadePlugin will fetch 1.000 games started from the 2.00oth game.
Manual Import
With MyArcadePlugin you are also able to import individual games such IBPArcade, PHPBB,
SWF, DCR, EMBED or IFRAME games. To add such a game to your site click on "Import
Games".
First select an import method:
After selecting the desired import method the form below the selection will change and show
you all needed fields that needs to be filled out for the selected import.
For uploading new game files, thumbnails and screenshot MyArcadePlugin offers you two
methods. At the one hand you can upload files from your local hard drive and on the other hand
you are able to grab files from a given url.
To upload a file from local hard drive, click on "Browse", select a file and click on "Start
Upload". To grab a file from a given url, enter the url and click on "Start Upload".
You should upload all needed files before you do anything else on the import form because
MyArcadePlugin is able to fill the form automatically on some games for you.
MyArcadePlugin will also try to detect the game dimensions and insert them into the form.
Auto Post from Mochi Media

MyArcadePlugin Pro allows you to post games directly from Mochi Media's website to your
arcade blog when pressing the button "Post game to my site".
To be able to use this feature you have to setup your Mochi Media account. Login to your Mochi
Media account, click on "Settings" and scroll down to "Auto Post Settings". Select "Custom
built script" on "Auto Post Method" and enter the following URL to "Auto Post URL":
http://{YOUR URL}/wp-content/plugins/myarcadeplugin/modules/mochi_autopost.php
Replace {YOUR URL} with your own site URL
CubePoints Integration
MyArcadePlugin has a built in CubePoints integration. CubePoints is a point management
system for WordPress. Users can earn points by playing games, submitting scores and getting
highscores or even by logging in on your site.
The achieved points are displayed with widgets and user can donate their points to other user.
For more information about CubePoints please visit:
http://cubepoints.com
After activating CubePoints you will need to setup the plugin before use. Click on CubePoints ->
Configure and set how many points user should get for several actions.
MyArcadePlugin will handle the rest for you!
Function Reference
MyArcadePlugin Pro will work with every standard WordPress theme but you can also use
several useful functions to create a nice looking site with special features. In this chapter, you
will find all available functions that you can use in your themes. Use these functions if you use a
standard WordPress theme or if you want to create your own individual theme.

myarcade_get_leaderboard_code();
}
?>
MyGameListCreator
To save your server performance MyGameListCreator will create game list that is saved in a
static file. A list with a big number of games is a great SEO-Method to get more visitors. This
method is well known and Miniclip is using it, too. The game list will be refreshed when you

Function Reference
You build your own themes and you want to integrate score boxes to your theme, then you can
use following functions:
Todays Scores
myscore_get_todays_scores($limit)
Latest Scores
myscore_get_latest_scores($limit)
Most Active Users

myscore_get_most_active_users($imit)
Highscores Of A Single Game

myscore_get_game_scores($limit)
Global Mochi Media Scores Of A Single Game

myscore_get_global_game_scores()
Latest Scores Of An User (e.g. On The Profile Site)

myscore_show_users_scores($user_id, $limit)
Leaderboard Check
Returns "true" when the displayed game has Leaderboard enabled. This function can only be
used inside the WordPress-Loop.
myscore_check_leaderboard()
Leaderboard Bridge
Mochi Media games submit their scores over a "Leaderboard Bridge". This bridge has to be
added to your theme to be able to receive game scores. You can embed the Leaderboard Bridge
with this function call:
<?php
if (function_exists('myarcade_get_leaderboard_code')) {
myarcade_get_leaderboard_code();
}
?>
Template Coding
In this chapter, you will see some code examples that you can use in your themes.
Display 10 Todays Scores

To display todays scores in your sitebar, you can use the following code:
<?php if (function_exists(myscore_get_todays_scores) ) : ?>
<h2>Todays Scores</h2>
<ul>
<?php echo myscore_get_todays_scores(); ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
Display 20 Most Active Players

<?php if (function_exists(myscore_get_most_active_users) ) : ?>
<h2>Top Players</h2>
<ul>
<?php echo myscore_get_most_active_users(20); ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
Display 10 HighScores Of A Game

Note: This function needs a new global variable called "$mypostid" to be able to show scores of
a single game. For that, you have to add a single line of code after the "get_game" function call
(single.php). Here is an example:
<?php
if (function_exists('get_game')) {
$embedcode = get_game($post->ID);
global $mypostid; $mypostid = $post->ID;
echo $embedcode;
}
?>
Now you are able to show latest scores of a game. You can use this example for your sidebar:
<?php if ( is_single() ) :?>
<?php if (function_exists(myscore_get_game_scores) ) : ?>
<h2>Best Players</h2>
<ul>
<?php echo myscore_get_latest_scores(); ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
