Ok 2.1 is out, I recommend that people upgrade to this version from 2.0. It does fix a minor, but annoying bug. * Fixed bug in the display of the fader. Javascript code was being duplicated throughout the Main Forums page causing long page loads for some. There are update instructions for those that are updating from 2.0. For those that have versions older than 2.0, you will just want to re-install the whole hack from the new readme file, there have been many changes since those older versions. Download: News Fader V2.1 Old Versions: Download: News Fader V2.0 Download: News Fader V1.4 Download: News Fader V1.3 Download: News Fader V1.2 Download: News Fader V1.1 [color:#000000" SIZE="1][ July 19, 2001 01:45 PM: Message edited by: Slurpee ][/color]

Hmmm...looks like you didn't turn it on MM. Go into the News Fader Settings and turn the News Fader on by clicking the radio button. I turn it off by default so you can get it all set up first.

Jigga - I found the error. The chunk of code above, change all occurrences there of $Colspan to the number "6". That will fix the problem. If you want the headlines centered, look for all the code in hack that says "left" and just make it "center". I like my news fader aligned left so that's why it is that way.
Directions fixed.

Minor typo in the colspan portion of the instructions, Slurp. Otherwise, this now works perfectly!<br><br>Replace:<br><br>if ($vars_news_fader{nfon} eq "ON") {<br>$newslinefader= qq~<TR bgcolor="$vars_style{CategoryStripColor}"><TD colspan="6"><br><FONT SIZE="$vars_style{TextSize}" FACE="$vars_style{FontFace}" color="$vars_style{CategoryStripTextColor}"><B>$vars_news_fader{nftitle}</B></FONT><br></td></tr><br><tr><br><td colspan="$6" bgcolor=$vars_style{AltColumnColor1} align=center><br><table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align="center" width="$vars_style{TableWidth}"><br><tr> <br><td colspan="$6" bgcolor=$vars_style{AltColumnColor1} align=center valign=top width=100% height=43><div id="elFader" style="position:relative;visibility:hidden;width:550"><div align="center"><font face="$vars_style{FontFace}" size="$vars_style{TextSize}">News Fader for DHTML Browser.</font></div></div><br></td><br><br>With:<br><br>if ($vars_news_fader{nfon} eq "ON") {<br>$newslinefader= qq~<TR bgcolor="$vars_style{CategoryStripColor}"><TD colspan="6"><br><FONT SIZE="$vars_style{TextSize}" FACE="$vars_style{FontFace}" color="$vars_style{CategoryStripTextColor}"><B>$vars_news_fader{nftitle}</B></FONT><br></td></tr><br><tr><br><td colspan="6" bgcolor=$vars_style{AltColumnColor1} align=center><br><table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align="center" width="$vars_style{TableWidth}"><br><tr> <br><td colspan="6" bgcolor=$vars_style{AltColumnColor1} align=center valign=top width=100% height=43><div id="elFader" style="position:relative;visibility:hidden;width:550"><div align="center"><font face="$vars_style{FontFace}" size="$vars_style{TextSize}">News Fader for DHTML Browser.</font></div></div><br></td>

No, thank YOU!  Least I could do, Slurp. I'm loving all the new stuff, and trying to post the bug reports as quickly as I can, so everyone can get all this new stuff up as painlessly as possible! Now, I'm looking forward to the "move hack".  ...and will it be compatible with the newbie hack?

Orb, I think moving the $newslinefader from here
} # end mods column
$Top .= " | $newslinefader";
to here will do the job
# this is the table displayed on regular forum pages
my $Top = qq~
$newslinefader

The move hack is almost done alien, and so far it seems to be compatible with the newbie hack as I have it running on my board.

Looks like you forgot to make the documented changes in the cp.cgi file. Did you do that?

Hey Slurpee, Here's some bugfixes, feedback, feature suggestions, and an feature addition all rolled into one post:
BUGFIX
-------
Where: Install Doc
Line: cp_vars_news_fader.cgi -> To your cgi-bin folder (CHMOD this file 755)
Change to: cp_news_fader.cgi -> To your cgi-bin folder (CHMOD this file 755)
SUGGESTION
-------------
Where: Install Doc
Line: Control Panel Lines
Suggestion: change the equality checks to ' instead of " because this is what 6.01 is using now
Example Line: if (($ubb eq "vars_news_fader") && ($status eq "Administrator")) {
Example Change to: if (($ubb eq 'vars_news_fader') && ($status eq 'Administrator')) {
SUGGESTION
------------
Where: Install Doc
Line:
if ($vars_news_fader{nfon} eq "ON") {
$newslinefader= qq~
$vars_news_fader{nftitle}
|
News Fader for DHTML Browser. |
|
~;
} else {
$newslinefader = "";
}
Change to:
if ($vars_news_fader{nfon} eq "ON") {
$newslinefader= qq~
$vars_news_fader{nftitle}
|
|
~;
} else {
$newslinefader = "";
}
Reason: Chops off a few bytes
BUGFIX
-------
Where: Install Docs
Lines:
Look for:
~;
} # end mods column
$Top .= " | $newslinefader";
Change to:
Look for:
~;
} # end mods column
$Top .= '';
NEW FEATURE
--------------
Where: cp_news_fader.cgi
BEFORE: &cp_confirm("News Headlines and Settings Updated");
ADD: &ClearSummaryCache;
What it does: Clears the summary cache whenever you updated News Settings so you won't have to go into Maintenance and do it manually
FEATURE REQUEST
-------------------
* ability to choose an icon to be associated with News Fader (like a newspaper or something)
* ability how high the display headlines ar (i.e., 10 from top, 20 from top in relation to the FDRborWid argument
* ability to choose left, center, or right alignment
* Version and Coypright Info for the Hack @ the bottom of the template
Great job Slurp! Keep up the great work

There's only one way you can get that error - hacking the file incorrectly. Re-hack it again.
And that post was referring to M_E_W too.

Double typo Look for:
~;
} # end mods column
$Top .= " | $newslinefader";
Replace that code with:
~;
} # end mods column
$Top .= "$newslinefader";
(should be) Look for:
~;
} # end mods column
Add after:
$Top .= "$newslinefader";
Or replace with:
~;
} # end mods column
$Top .= "$newslinefader";

Yeah I don't get any errors, but it just doesn't want to show up. Did you people that got it working change some of the code from the readme file? Because I just can't figure out why it won't work for me and decimator and it works for all of you people.

They must of done M_E_W its impossibe for 2 people to have exactly the same problems, no doubt lots of others to, its just that most people wont bother posting they will just wait for an update or bug fix, ive installed lots of hacks and they all work fine, but this one does not, it has lots of bugs that have been pointed out above, i found one myself, and thats without looking. lol But guys im not picking, you are doing a great job, and we do apreciate it honest!!! But when it wont work for a few of us it just so unfair..
