What hacks would be good for a novice to try? & more... - 03/15/2001 8:02 PM
Greetings!
While I've had UBB for almost a year, I'm rather terrified to make changes to it for fear I'll mess it up! :rolleyes:
But, I'll never learn if I don't try and I did dink with some minor changes so I think I'm ready to try something else once the final release is out.
I've had requests for the following on my bb.
1. # of Views per topic
2. Have more than 4 categories for registered members. (I'm the only one that is the Divine Authority....)
3. BIG ONE: I'd love to do a few SSI, but not sure how to grab specific areas of the forums for the data. Are there instructions for this somewhere? I thought it would be neat to set up a forum, that I alone can post to and automatically update a webpage by posting thru the browser. (Is this just wishful thinking?)
I also saw someones hack that allows you to incorporate images into forum cells. (Really nice idea...would like to experiment with it) What's this hack called? I tried it, but don't think I have enough info from the forums to do it myself. (Not sure why images are not appearing properly so I pulled it off)
Last question: Is there a book, cheat sheet or website that shows some of the standard codes used in the bb? I'm used to html and a bit of basic, but that's it.
Thanks for any help you can give me!
