posted by Gardener: Yeah, I saw that too, don't know why it's like that. Span should work OK with mozilla. Is there a doctype in the html-page inside the iframe?
Why not have the iframe start next to the outer border instead, utilizing all area inside the box?
I went through and made all of the html in the shoutdisplaypal.php script XHTML 1.0 compliant. When I put the correct doctype in it causes the iframe to include a scroll bar accross the bottom. Any ideas why this would happen or how to get around it? This was happening in IE but I just finished installing Mozilla 1.1 and will check that too.
Just checked. Must be an IE related issue. Looks fine in Mozilla 1.1 here.
I'll be keeping the doctype in as it's a good thing.
Can't help you with MSIE, but it does look good in Mozilla 1.1 Linux now. Looks good with Opera 5 for Linux as well, although the width of the columns on the page is a bit strange. The right column is wider than the middle one and the middle column is just a bit wider than the left column.
Opera for windows is the same. I think it's because I'm using a percentage in the width of the iframe but I could be wrong. Mozilla and IE are adjusting and Opera flips out. LoL I will be making the frame size a configureable option based on browsers used to compinsate for this.
I had the same problem as you. For some reason the index page sometimes doesn't recgonize me as logged on, eventhough I logged on and checked "remember me" or whatever. But if I go back and forth from main index to entrance it will then remember me. Its weird.
Are you the "main admin". That is, your usernumber should be 2. In the database it is under U_Number 2. If not your the second "main admin" that isn't U_Number 2. That is not good. lol
ummmmmm Ok... Well, my birthday is tomorrow and maybe I'm feeling old?? I was using the account I always use which is an admin but not the original main one.... 'tis working now..... Goin' to the stooooopid corner.....
Thanks!!
Some people read their stars..... I choose to write my own
lol whew! good to hear. I had originally thought that this should only be accessable by the person that actually controls how the site looks and therefor didn't want just any admin accessing it.
*L* Came outta the corner to read this.... *L* Hey, I do have a display problem with pics.... The people on there love to see their pics on the index page.... It's making them full size instead of thumbnails... Is there a setting somewhere or should I dig into the code to fix this? BTW, thanks for the awesome work!!
Some people read their stars..... I choose to write my own
Great! Well, it's the new user box and all the newsboxes that are showing the pics.... I went ahead and turned the pic display option off for now.... Man this is great.....

One of the problems, well not so much a problem but it could be, was that if the picture sizes were not in the database I was accessing the file and reading the size. Each picture was 2 disk seeks... one to see if it exists and one to get the info. This is just not a good way of handling it. If the sizes are not in the database they will be defaulted to what ever the $theme sizes are set to in your theme.inc.php file.
Ok here's an updated zip file. All of the fixes have been included that I have listed in the main post of this thread. I also tossed in another piece of 5.0 but it's an earlier version with the language not seperated. It's called "Profile Index" and allows browsing of the profiles more easily. There are some new configureable options needing to be set too so bring up the online configure panel and set them.
Just a note, if your searching IP addresses with the profile index you need to place a wildcard * in place of . so you would be looking for something like 209*38*40* Hope that made sense.
Alot of this stuff just got better when I went to templates as I went through it all with a fine tooth comb but there may still be bugs I missed and having this older version getting some real use will help find any others.
Download the file. Unzip and upload all files with the exception of configpal.php (if your updating 4.6 that is) and then load the online configure panel and update the new settings and enjoy.
I'm headed north for a few hours. If you find bugs please do post them. I'll kill them when I get back.
sorry, when i click the To view the INITIAL SETUP box please click here. link and use that page I can set the variables and they stick
If I use the first page it wipes out the variables i set

Dave, using the latest MSIE on a Mac, the word wrapping's wrong on the shoutbox unless I reload. It fouls again everytime I've added a shout. I'll attach screenshots
That latest relese is XHTML compliant but I do have it leaving the doctype out becase it caused IE to include a scroll bar at the bottom of the iframe.
The doctype is only pulled for IE. Other browsers such as Mozilla get it included in the page when viewed.
It's hard for me to fix things or try to figure them out for systems I don't have so I'm not sure what to tell you about the shout box. It's standards compliant. Should work.?
I should make that more clear, the actual page the shouts are on is compliant. The pal that creates the iframe and loads it isn't.
That's screwed up. The 'attach a file' and the 'preview your post' are both accomplished via the same page, but you can't BOTH edit AND attach. That's totally unintuitive.
I think I'll get the Picture Post thingie in too and just call this 5.0 LoL Then I wont feel bad for calling what I'm working on next 6.0 and there's a bunch more features in 6.0 so there's definately more to look forward to..
I have debated on going through all of these and making them xhtml compliant. It's not that hard really. I just hate the idea of covering ground already covered in 6.0
Edit Note: Any major problems during the upgrade that can be made easier to deal with?
only if you are running 6.0.3 I had to comment out the version check
The one thing about doing the xhtml will be that there should be less support questions regarding it not looking right in different browsers (Mac/IE, Moz, etc.) You'll be sure it's not a table tag or form tag in the wrong place.
Yes I am looking forward to getting away from nonstandards code.
I remember my iframe not being compliant when I was putting the templates together. If I can talk my wife or daughter into forcefeeding me coffee all night I may run through everything in this version and make it xhtml compliant.
Okay just a little bug. Not any big deal. I added the entrance links to registered and unregistered templates. It points to $config('homeurl') well this results in the following

(one less stray variable in the mix) lol
global search and replace with ultra edit would have it done in an hour or less Make the search case-sensitive
I have considered using global search and replace with dreamweaver mx but I didn't want to change any variables that my match what I'm replacing... lol
I'm about half done with the index page itself... the pages in the menu box will be last...
i added a little script into my generic header I call a "Member Locator" that hits your profilepal
My members are raving!! At last they have a way to find a member without having to search through posts to get to their profile so that they can add them to their address book, etc.. http://www.pokemon-trading-cards.net/forums/ubbthreads.php?Cat= (its in the red nav down the left of the page)

I was wondering if the text size at my test site was large too? If not then perhaps it's a .css problem. The text is being wrapped with <span class="small"></span> so perhaps there is something different being done here?

Dave, makes sense to me; hey, I'm not complaining, I'm just adding my report to your mix so if/when you start hearing from mac/msie people it won't be a surprise...you can say "Oh, right...THAT problem"
Weird that it always looks right on a reload.
Even weirder that it doesn't just wrap wrong after I've shouted...it also looks wrong on new visits to the page.
Who knows...
