This plugin interacts with Mochi's auto-post feature to allow you to easily gather information about the game you've selected and then even gives you a button to post it! == Installation == 1. Upload the `mochiArcadeAutoPost` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 3. Go to http://www.mochimedia.com and create a publisher's account. 4. Go to https://www.mochimedia.com/pub/settings and scroll down to Auto Post Settings 5. Enter the web address of `mochiArcadeAutoPost.php` in the Auto Post URL section eg. http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/mochiArcadeAutoPost/mochiArcadeAutoPost.php 6. Copy your publisher ID, and paste it into the form on the plugin's settings page. (dashboard->settings->Mochi Arcade Auto Post 7. Pick a game from http://www.mochimedia.com and click "post game to my site" 8. Go to your Dashboard->posts->Mochi Games Queue and click "post and publish" or "post" 9. There is no 9, you should have a wordpress post (published or unpublished) with the game's name, categories, tags, and a shortcode that will embed the game in valid xhtml. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Why are there screenshots missing from some games? = All of the data about games (including screenshots, descriptions, videos, etc) is entered into mochi's system by the game's developers, if they neglect to include some information, it won't be in Mochi's system, and as such, won't be in the plugin either. = I wish the plugin could do something it currently doesn't = Write me a comment on the plugin's page! I'll be adding new features as time goes by, I already plan to add support for storing high scores locally so they can be accessed on user profiles, among other things. = What if I want to delay the posting of a game? = Click `post` on the game queue page, then click `edit`, and select a date to publish as you normally would for any post. It won't even be published for a moment as the `post` button doesn't publish the post it creates. = Will there ever be a games browser? = Eventually there will be a games browser, as well as a shortcode to post a full arcade (eg. in a page), and an option to hide game posts on your homepage, although you could already if you wanted to using a plugin that excludes posts with specific tags, and specify the tag 'mAAPBS' since the plugin tags every game post with it. (this identifies them for such purposes) = I use google adsense, is it ok to put games on posts that may have an ad? = It is ok, however, google recommends that you place the ad at least 150 px from the flash game. In the future there will be a section in options to add a google adsense snippet that will be placed exactly 150 px from the flash game. As always though you will be responsible for ensuring that no more than 3 ads are placed on a page at any one time (IE: Set any other plugin that places adsense accordingly to ensure this does not happen). If you get a lot of `accidental clicks` google may suspend your account if they believe you have placed the ads very close to the flash game specifically to farm accidental clicks. IE: Don't do this, ever. = The games queue page is empty! = The games queue page defaults to showing only unposted games, clicking the "posted", or "all" buttons should show your already posted games. Barring that, if you haven't already, you need to add games to the queue by clicking "Post game to my site" on http://www.mochimedia.com == Screenshots == 1. The game queue screen. == Changelog == = 1.0.7 = * Added an option to choose thumbnail size to post on games queue page. Small is recommended as it is more consistently the game's logo. * Fixed several (minor) bugs. * The mochigame shortcode now wraps a <div id="mochi_game"></div> around its flash embed code so it can be more easily manipulated by CSS = 1.0.6 = * Added option to post games under only a single category (new posts only) * Added game categories (genres) to tags as well (new posts only) * Added three new parameters to the mochigames shortcode, author, authorlink, and overridewidth, they accept the values true or false (default to true if unrecognized or not specified), author shows the SWF author's name, and authorlink transforms that into a link to the author's mochi profile and/or website. overridewidth=true will cause the game's default width to be used even if it exceeds the minimum or maximum width in the settings. * The Genres the game fits into (categories) are now also added to the tags to increase game searchability, particularly when single category is turned on. * Added minimum and maximum width settings on options screen * If a custom size is specified it will override the minimum and maximum width settings in order to keep the game's aspect ratio, so if you set max width to 600, and a 640x480 game's height to 500, you will get a game embed that is wider than your maximum width setting, if you wish the aspect ratio to change, you'll have to set both width and height. * NOTE: As with all game embed size altering functions, some games are hard coded to a specific size, and will experience issues (such as unused game elements appearing slightly off screen, or game elements clipping off the edges. = 1.0.5 = * Fixed swfs with sanitized names in the style 'name%20with%20spaces' to re-sanitize in a more wordpress-friendly formate eg: 'name-with-spaces' Additionally any other % codes simply have the % removed.(Any game with such a swf will have to be reposted) * Fixed a bug causing the game queue to improperly list games when there are more than 100 in the queue. * Added an option to hide posts created by this plugin so they don't appear on the home page (but still appear in archives). = 1.0.4 = * Fixed the url on settings screen FOR REAL this time = 1.0.3 = * Fixed the url on settings screen for your plugin file to point to the correct file = 1.0.2 = * Made the settings screen more user friendly * Added a password function = 1.0.1 = * The plugin now works. (v 1.0.0 didn't, which is why it was never released :P) == Features == * Adds information about mochi games to your database * Creates posts to display said games * Deletes those same posts, and all supporting documents (flash games/screenshots) from your website * Erases all changes it made to the database should you decide to delete (not deactivate) the plugin. (This includes much of the data it gathers about the games, but does not include any posts made to your wordpress site, or media such as the swf files, and thumbnails (which ARE deleted if you click delete on the game queue page).
