I didn't "find" a script for a slot game. I paid over 1k for someone to develop it and am having issues with the database or something to this effect. I don't want a site that allows gambling so I want to remove that part and use it as a demo type thing where you get free spins. I would get the original developer to do it but I can't get in contact with them now.
Yes you are right about it being difficult because I have spent over 40 hours messing about with it so far and still can't get it to work so might have to get another one coded from scratch when I can afford it.
Then you should state that you need a developer who will complete your software because the previous one left everything unfinished and you no longer have contact with him.
It makes a big difference when you need someone to help you with setup or if you need a developer to change the code. Maybe that's how you got non-functional software, at least not what you need, and in fact, you didn't have good communication with the previous dev.
Anyway, good luck with the search.
Duly noted, thanks for your feedback.
So here's what I'd do step wise if I were you :
Disable Payment Features: To remove the bitcoin payment feature from your PHP software, look for any payment processing code (functions, API calls, etc.) and comment them out or delete them. Make sure to test thoroughly after making changes.
Free Spin Configuration: Modify the game logic to provide free spins. Look for variables or settings related to spins and adjust them to allow users to play without payments.
Deploying on cPanel and WordPress:
cPanel: Ensure all files are uploaded to the correct directory (usually the public_html folder). Double-check file permissions.
WordPress: If you are using WordPress, consider using a specific casino or gaming theme that supports slots. Plugins like "MyArcadePlugin" might help in integrating and displaying your slots game.
Fixing Layout Issues: Issues with layout (like the login button and code snippets) often arise from HTML/CSS conflicts or incomplete code. Validate your HTML and CSS, and ensure all necessary files are correctly linked.
Learning Resources: Utilize forums like Bitcointalk, Reddit, and sites offering coding tutorials to improve your skills. YouTube tutorials can also be quite helpful.
If you're still facing issues, sharing specific error messages or screenshots can help the community provide more targeted advice. You should post in the development section. Many devs here just never get out of that category in fear of ads and sig campaigns.
Thats a brilliant comment. I will take notes of your points above and have another go at it using your ideas.
Much appreciated!
