UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] News Fader V2.1 Hack!

Tovok, good call I will do that, and I forgot to credit you and I meant to do that damn it! Updating my zips.

CN - Change all the font tags from this part:

okies

thanks again

Amazing you totally ignored what i posted thanks

Phase, let's see there are 7 friggin' pages of posts and I have gotten no less than 50 emails on this hack, so give me a break if I miss a post. :rolleyes:

Your code is in the right place, are you sure you put the code for the $newslinefader in and did you turn it on?

Ok i got it up but now i'm getting a script error. On line 204 i remember this from the other one i'm missing something am i not? And sorry a little stressed from a programming project!

Line 204 of which script?

2.0: I'm not getting any total posts or topics working on front page no matter what option I select in the control panel.

It seems to be always off, even though showing 'both' is selected.

Can anyone else confirm, or is it just me and I should go play with my code some more?

Same problem on my board

Same here.

Let me look at my directions guys, you all did upload Tovok's Total Posts/Total Topics hack that is included in 2.0 right?

Guys I found the problem, I am a MORON sorry, forgot the key part there.

In public_forum_summary.pl:

Look for:

Underneath that add:

I apologize!! Updating zip right now.

Don't worry, humans make mistakes
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to see more hacks from you

its all good dont worry~

Trying that fix now! Thanks, Slurp!

...edit: Worked perfectly! Woo!

All ok. Thx.

Its says line 2o4 char 3 error class not registered. I left the page up if you want to see it. http://gamenexus2k.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

I'm getting a bunch of script errors on your site Phase, looks like you didn't upload some files in ASCII.

Ok do they all go in ascii from your hack? I'm almost thier i took down the whose online so i knew whats causing what

Phase, just got on your board, the News Fader is working just fine. Sure you got javascript enabled on your browser, I checked on IE and Netscape, it's working.

Ok uploaded it all in ascii same error.

ok i'll look

Edited: Fixed

Nope sorry the fader words don't work and i still get a error

Why Doesn't the download work? Anyone care to email me the addon?


Update: Van Helen was down. Back up again!

Phase, I just looked again and it's working, what browser are you using? Someone else go to his site and tell me I'm not crazy. I'm out for the night fellas, catch ya tomorrow.

Sorry my server was down for a few. BTW, it's Van "Halen," not Van Helen.

Good job

Slurp,,,,


I need your wisdom. I have your thangy installed and I must say "IMPRESSIVE"!

I however need to know how I can change the color of the...well... I guess the pic fader background color to match the table color.

Here: GimmeTech
So you might see what I'm saying.

Secondly, How do I get the text to be in the middle of the table. In other words, centered as is horizontally and vertical middle?

Thirdly, How would I go about having the
News Fader Greeting have a font color of the numerals (redish) in the Board Stats Display?

How do I do this master? Grasshopper seek wisdom. Where to change in the code would be a real asset.

Even if this wouldn´t be an appropriate evidence to proof that, Slurpee

@ Phase,

I tried to register on this site to check it - after regestering I always get this:


After clearing my browser-cache and changing the whole browser to netscape it remains...

Any ideas?

The Fader doesn't run on Microsoft IE5.5 or newer! That's the reason for the Failure on line 204 in ultimatebb.cgi !

And please, why I cant make them 95 percent wide? Only with pixels... that's not so good!

theangel - yeah IE 5.5 has a problem with faders, not just this one. It's the script, not my code. You can't use percentages on the fader, if you could that would solve that problem in a snap, and I wouldn't have included the variable. You have to use pixel width on the fader unfortunately.

i'm using IE 5.5 and it works fine for me...

1. Well if I'm reading you right, it should be the same already. The fader image has the same background tag as the fader itself.

2. If you want it centered horizontally, go into the News Fader control panel and choose "center" alignment, and make sure that the fader width is correct, you might have to experiment a bit with that. For vertical alignment, in public_forum_summary.pl, change this line in the $newslinefader from:
to:

3. For the greeting, add the font color tags in this line from the public_forum_summary.pl:

DON'T USE "" IN THE FONT TAG IN THERE OR THE GREETING WON'T DISPLAY. USE ' OR NOTHING AT ALL.

Wots the Board Stats Display because nothing seems to happen if I swith this option on or off!

Slurp,

Thanks for responding to me. Will you check the link up there so you can see what I am saying about the color of the table? It isn't the same color for some reason. I do have 2 table colors though. One lighter one and one darker one. I'd appreciate it if you could click on my link and let me know what I am doing wrong.

Also on changing the font tag. Could you post what it would look like with being changed to the red color you used for the Board Stats Display?

You'll have to forgive me, but I worked rather hard at getting this to work and I don't want to mess it up!


Thanks for the other info too, getting ready to work on it. Again, very impressive hack.

Thank You,
GimmeTech


PS..... I use IE 5.5 with no problems with the fader. Just leave the parenthases"" that was in the default txt file and change the wording. That fixed the error problems for me. If you don't you will get the errors.

For the background, try changing these variavbles in public_forum_summary.pl.

FDRborCol = "$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}";
FDRbackCol = "$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}";

Change them to:
FDRborCol = "$vars_style{AltColumnColor2}";
FDRbackCol = "$vars_style{AltColumnColor2}";

See if that does it. Here's how the link for the Board Stats looks, use the same format for the greeting.

$NewsStats = qq~"Current Forum Stats: $AllTopics Topics","",~;

tiny bug Slu..


don't put % for width else you will get errors

Slurp,

Your knowledge has improved my page!

All colors are correct and I have the tables set to where I want them.

Still one problem with the text being centered vertically. I tried valighn="center" and valighn="middle".
Neither have been able to get my text centered vertically. I even pulled the text out of the .pl and took a look at it in Dreamweaver as a full table and it looks correct there. It is still hanging at the top though.

Here is the updated look. GimmeTech Forums

I'm close, move me closer please

Thank You
Slurp.

Bafai - I tell you in the control panel to use pixels, not percentages. It's not a bug.

Gimme - You did spell it "valign" right??? If you didn't that could be the problem. Also, try removing that height=43 tag in there along with adding the valign=center text and see what happens.

Slurp,

Yes it was spelled correctly. I don't think we are on the same page though.

There are 3 items displayed in the text box.
They are:

Board Stats Display:
News Fader Greeting:
Add/Edit News Headlines

Just changing the news text will not vertically align the items. All 3 needs aligned "middle". This is what I am trying to figure out.

Thanks Slurp.

Gimme, try messing with the valigns in the
