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

axion, it was a hackin problem. I rehacked all the files and voila.

-viridus

ah ok, will give it another try!

Thanks

Any chance of a shw version of this?

Looks like alot of you seem to have got this hack to work great,But how about telling us fools how to get the bloody thing to work

I have hacked this 1 into our ubb version 6.04c several times now...All i get is the box along the top,no News....

Please help...

BTW,it's not just me 3 other admins have also done it on our board,all with the same result...

Doesnt work :(:(:(

@slurpee:Would it be possible to set the news fader width to "95--->PERCENT<---"???Because i use 95% for table widths and i want to center the nesfadertext!!!

HELP!!
the hack was working great when i was still using 6.04a
but when i upgrade to 6.04c recently, the control page of news fader went blank...........
i don't know why, i'm sure i hack the 6.04c upgrade files correctly
and the board still shows the news fader like before, only that i can only see a blank page in control panel
pls help me...........

Same here i need help i dont want to uninstall it

after you upgrade you have to reapply the hack to files that were upgraded-just be sure to back up your files, to save your self any head aches.

hi,


really nice hack......

i've got a little problem

the news fader doesnt appear on my board

i had ubb604 before and installed the new 604c english version of ubb

and now everything is alright i can configure it at cp control but the fader doesnt appear in front of my ubb

any ideas to make it visible???????

is it possible to change the font size of the news independently? (ie. not affecting other font size)
thanks a lot!

The fader doesn't appear on my board. Using 6.04d. URL: http://www.ultanime.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

Thanks for any help!

thanks for this hack

*BUMP*

Can someone help me? Look 2 posts up.

It would be nice if you added "CHMOD" newsfader.txt to '666' in your instructions, it would make a lot more people happier, and life a little bit better.

Just thought I should help you out in your code, it is far better than some I have seen... the LET'S START HACKING in someones code (not going to mention) should be changed to LET'S START PRAYING

another thing, and you can probably sudgest this quickly, I would rather the news to be above the Forum | topic | Post | Last Post, how can I do this, it just doens't look right underneath those.... again thanks for the extreemly wicked hack.

*BUMP*

Is anyone going to be able to help us that can't get it working 0.o?

Is it possible to call SSI events within the news fader?? IE: I have a calendar that I am implementing (Matt Kruse's) and would like to call events/days from that calendar into this news fader.

Great Hack! I had no trouble installing it with 10 other hacks installed.

(My Board)

Um this doesn't seem to work for the newest version of Internet Expolor, I guess that's why I'm having errors when I try to use it. B/c anyone under my version in IE can see it fine, but I can't =(.

why i only see this ?

i've triple check all the instruction and i can't find my mistake... anyone can help me?

forget it... i solve my problem and it works perfectly... in the instruction it say:


i change it for:

is there a way to set the width to 95%... 100%?

Oui!

ok... how????
if i set 95% in the width field, my fader does'nt display the news...

Go to Control Panel -> Primary Settings -> News Fader Settings, then change the news fader width to, say, 600 pixels. The default is 700.

I want to set it to 100%... not 600 or 700...

There is no such thing as the percent in news fader!

I think you have mistaken the news fader width with the table width in the Style Template. You can set the table width to 100% in the Style Template, but for the news fader width, it depends or your screen resolution, you have to set it to fit it in the table, therefore, a preferably small number. You news fader has a transparent gif image, and the width of this image is changed accordingly to the number of pixels you define in the News Fader Setting.

I better stop before you get lost.

Hey Free, 'Sup buddy? You adopt this mod??
If so, you see any reason why it can't be inserted into public_forum_page? Just glancing at the code, I can't see any reason why it shouldn't report correct topic and post numbers for each individual forum (if turned on) and pass along the news to each. Which would prompt one to think, what if I could add a different news file for each forum..?? Imagine...

it should contains , Registered # , welcome newest user .
also should contain the ability to adjust the vertical align to the middle it doesn't looks good if you have 1 line message and the line appears in the top .
also it will be nice if you can use diffrent fonts

what he said!

Different fonts should not be a problem. I'm using HTML font commands to change colors and break up my different entries and I'm also including small graphics and smilies in my news. This hack rocks!

can sumone please tel me whats wrong with this it says around 'my' at about line 303
please help!

v2 by the way i used

Hello Slurpee

On 6.04e...a little problem with the Newsfader2 and Hit Hack 2.0 beta.

If I turn on the "show hits counter on summary page" - thingy, I get a problem with the right side of the tabel on News Fader 2 hack. Between the "Moderators" headline and the moderators namefield in the forumlisting on the summary page, I get only an empty square space on the right site of the fader.
The newsfader will not fill the hole space/with of the forum summary page.

Any idea what this is, and how to solve the problem?

I want to upload an image to show you, but upload is disabled here.
Neither I can give you an url, as I am on dynamic ip, and the board isnt ready to upload.

Where can I post an image for you to see what I mean?

good work on the news fader i had no problems getting it working just one question, is there any way to ajust the hight to make the space for the news taller?

i can't get this one to work.... I get the files all modded and when I try and execute it gives me about 10 errors something about unterminated constants in line .......... if I tell debug to debug it it finally gets clear of all the errors and displays the hack as a catagory but no news...... Tried it twice where am I going wrong most likely?

Okay this is yet another one of those hacks that I try over and over until I finally figure it out. NEED Some help on this one Please! after I installed the newsfader, ran the CP for tne newsfader and cleared my cache I went to my test board at http://www.washingtonceasefire.net/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi My board now gives me this error: " line # 287,412,650,769,894,1019,1138,1376,1495,1620,1739,1864,1983,2227,2346,2465,2590,2715,2834,2953,3078, and 3197.... Error expected "]"
does that mean tht I have a wayward "[" with no mate somewhere? or I overwrote one some where?? In Public_Forum_Summary.pl I found this but it looks right to me.....

I really want this one to work so any assistance will be greatly appreciated Thanks!
I went through all four Modded files and Searched for a lonely "[" and to no
avail..... gettin frustrated.......
