[vba_cmps] Random Clock Module

[Moya]

Currently, I have 4 different clocks in swf format and are called randomly on adv cmps. It comes in modules format and requires a little editing. Do you want this mod? :D :D

1 Clock is in regular rotation and regular time format
1 Clock is in reverse rotation and regular time format
1 Clock is in binary format
1 Clock is in base 10 format :D :D

Here is the instruction:

1) Create a folder under your forum directory called : Clocks

2) Upload those flash files into this new folder

3) Open currenttime.module with notepad

-> look for

$path = 'c:/inetpub/wwww/foldername/forum/' . $foldername;

and change c:/inetpub/wwww/foldername/forum to your physical forum location. Keep the ending slash

Save and import your module


NOTE: If you have more flash clocks, just upload them under the clocks directory. They will be pulled in automatically.

Have fun

Interesting, I may try this :)

[Sooner95]

looks cool, will try.

[Sooner95]

I get this when importing.

The file you have uploaded is not a valid module file.

[Moya]

I think this error is commonly known at vbadvances. I am not sure what the fixe would be. I will give a manual setup module when I get home.

Or take a look at Brian's reply

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14692&highlight=The+file+you+have+uploaded+is+valid+modu le+file.

Try looking in your admincp/vba_cmps_admin.php file for this code:
if (substr($modfile['name'], -7) != '.module')

Add this right Above it:
clearstatscache();

And let me know if that helps.

[Sooner95]

Thanks for the help, tried that, but just get an error back that the clearchache is undefined ect..

I will wait for your update. Thanks!

[Ziki]

You could add an install file into the zip

I get this when importing.

well i wanted this hack that i went back to his old one here:https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=71256

Even though i'm not a coder:) but a curious person to get things done and this happen to be easy to me so far:banana:

ok this is what i did to help everyone out and hope you can understand my chicken scratch as i have no sleep yet..:D

i open his module files and did everything manually created the php files and template seperated like the old days..;)

<?php
// ++================================================ =========================++
// || vBadvanced CMPS 2.1.0 ||
// || Random Clock Module By Stitch / Moya @ Vietsaga.com ||
// ++ ================================================== ======================++
//directory here (relative to script)
$foldername="clocks";
$path = 'c:/inetpub/wwww/foldername/forum/' . $foldername;
$urlswf=$vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/' . $foldername;
$clock_name='';
$i = 0;
$swfDir = opendir ($path);
while ( $file = readdir( $swfDir ) )
{
//checks that file is an image
$file_type = strrchr( $file, "." );
$is_clock = eregi( "swf",$file_type );

if ( $file != '.' && $file != '..' && $is_clock )
{ $clocks[$i++] = $file; }
}
closedir ($swfDir);

srand( (double) microtime()*1000000 );
$clock_name = $urlswf . '/' . $clocks[rand( 0,sizeof( $clocks ) -1 )];
//ends script if no swf found
if ( $i == 0 )
{
die();
}

//okie spit out the whole thang
eval('$home["$mods[modid]"][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_clocks') . '";');

unset($clock_name);



?>


now after that as stated above name the template adv_portal_clocks

and follow his instructions

<tr>
<td class="alt2" align="center" width="100%">
<object width="150" height="150">
<param name="movie" value="$clock_name">
<embed src="$clock_name" width="150" height="150">
</embed>
</object>
</td>
</tr>

and import all .swf to forum directory in the clocks file that you were suppose to create and that's it also i had problem figuring out the path as i said not a coder:cool: for those that don't know i used /home/username/mysite.com/ yours will probably be different so go admin control panel and under php info everything you will need will be there.

I'M NOT TAKING CREDIT FOR ANY HACK ,THIS IS TO HELP MEMBERS OUT WITH THE ISSUE WITH THE MODULE NOT UPLOADING CORRECTLY AND HAD TO REVERT BACK TO OLD HACKING METHOD....:bunny:

[Ziki]

OK I know what the prob is.....edit the forumpath AFTER importing the MODULE file or else it will show that error

i did it the old way hard code which i'm not much of a coder...:D but ii open his module into text and compared it to the hack he had done on 3. version look up on post 10 or 11 and i guess try to read that chicken scratch..:confused:

and that did it for me.
