PHPNUKE versions v6.0-v7.4 will need to download the additional admin
scripts for your particluar version nuke version.. If they are not available yet

ALREADY RUNNING A OLDER VERSION OF PNFLASHGAMES FOR PHPNUKE???
-------------------------------------------------------------
YOU MUST REMOVE THE FREE pnFLASHGAMES MODULE COMPLETELY..
I HAVE NOT WRITTEN ANY SCRIPS THAT ALLOW YOU TO UPGRADE FROM
the FREE VERSION TO THE LATEST NEARLY FINAL RELEASE.
You can ofcourse do a full backup of the hiscores tables and others
if you wish but you will have to manually edit them to match the new
database fields.
Im sorry but i just cant support 100's of people installing a free version
I only wish i had the time guys.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Flash Games Installation: (v0.6b FREE VERSION ONLY)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
** Always make a backup of your data before installation any modules. **
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1) Unzip the module.
2) Copy file /!ROOT!/index.php to the root of your phpnuke installation.
You will have to replace the existing index.php OR your can edit the
your index.php and copy and paste code into your existing index.php.
All code is clearly commented. (IF YOU DO NOT INSTALL THIS FILE
FLASH GAMES using pnFlashGames Component v1.0 or higher will only work
and not older pnFlashGames)
3) Insert the module into your phpnuke website
e.g. copy Whole Flash_Games Directory to your webserver \ROOT\modules\
4) Copy files and folders /!ROOT!/images/ to your phpnuke installation root
directory. Just copy and paste.. It wont hurt anything.. its only the 1 image
needed for the administration area.
5) Now login to your site as administrator (superuser)..
PHPNUKE v7.6+:
-------------
****** THIS IS FOR PHPNUKE V7.6+ USERS ONLY ******
With Nuke v7.6 you can change the name of your admin.php file. I have found
this causes problems with the module so its best to leave your admin.php file
alone and do not change.. I will fix this in the near future.
****** THIS IS FOR PHPNUKE V7.6+ USERS ONLY ******
6) Choose the 'modules' admin icon and activate the Flash_Games module by
clicking the activate link.. The module link should then show up in your
left hand navigation with your other active modules.
7) Go to admin menu and click on Flash Games Icon
Click on 'Database Options' from the menu accross the top
8b) Choose which installation you want to do from the drop down.
FIRSTIME! Then click on the 'OK' button
8c) A confirmation are you sure screen will come up.. Select 'yes'
9) It will create all highscore tables, flashgames tables,
comments tables, ratings tables and will also inject 1 sample (Bloody Pengu)
if you are installing for the first time.
I have added my flashgames frogger and Ms.Pacman in this .zip file too so
go and test those games too.. They have full hi-score support.
11) Add and remove games as you like using the admin system and enjoy
all my hard work heheh elol.
