RELEASE NOTES:
This version will work will all versions of phpnuke from v6.0 through to the
current release v7.6... Users of PHPNUKE v6.0 - v7.4 will have to manually download the /admin/ files needed to install. Apart from that the module will function normally.. There were some major changes in the way the admin module worked in previous versions of nuke so thats why the additional admin files are needed.

***************************
******* IMPORTANT *********
***************************
This version of the pnFlashGames module is for all phpnuke installations. YES, Thats right all.. You only need a different admin scripts for each particular version and i will support them all if you are a VIP MEMBER.
PHPNUKE versions v6.0-v7.4 will need to download the additional admin
scripts for your particluar version nuke version..
ALREADY RUNNING pnFlashGames v0.1++ (VIP ONLY VERSION)????:
' NOTHING IN THE DATABASE HAS CHANGED AT ALL WITH THIS VERSION. I HAVE JUST BEEN
TWEAKING THE THEME PROBLEMS AND ADDING MORE STATS ETC TO THE PAGES '
If you already have v0.1++ installed then all you have to do is upload
and replace all the files. Thats it.
Flash Games Installation: (v0.2++ VIP 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
one supplied to 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) PHPNUKE v6.0 - v7.5:
Copy file /!ROOT!/includes/my_header.php to the /includes/ directory of you phpnuke installation. You will have to replace the existing my_header.php or you can edit the file supplied to copy and paste code into your existing index.php. All code is clearly commented. NO NEED TO COPY /custom_files/ as its not needed for this version of nuke.
PHPNUKE v7.6+:
Copy file /!ROOT!/includes/custom_files/custom_header.php to the
/includes/custom_files/ directory of your phpnuke installation.
You will have to replace the existing custom_header.php or
you can edit the file supplied to copy and paste code into your existing

6) 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 ******

9b) Are you sure screen will come up.. Select 'yes'
10) It will create all highscore tables, active users tables, flashgames tables,
comments tables, ratings tables and will also inject 1 sample (Bloody Pengu).
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.

all my hard work heheh elol.
