few problems

[Winterworks]

I'm working for the guy who owns http://www.manlystuff.com/forum/index.php

I have two questions about his site that we both need to know.

Question 1) How can I align both of those top boxes? The "Connect", and "Status Feeds". Right now they're aligned by the bottom somehow, but I want it done by the top, so they're at the same height (starting at same height).

Question 2) Why won't the Status Feed box collapse?

Question 3) How can I make the "Connect" box not display on our vBAdvanced page? The other box doesn't show, only the Connect one does.

Here's the template:

please help!

1) Clean up your html. Look at what is in your source code:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="display: none;margin-bottom: 20px;" id="ajax_vb_status_table">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><a style="float:right" href="#top (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/view-source:http://www.manlystuff.com/forum/index.php#top)" onclick="return toggle_collapse('statusfeed')"><img id="collapseimg_statusfeed" src="http://manlystuff.com/forum//images/raven/buttons/collapse_thead.gif (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/view-source:http://manlystuff.com/forum//images/raven/buttons/collapse_thead.gif)" alt="" border="0" /></a>

Status Feed<!--BEGIN VB STATUS-->
</td>

</tr>
<div id="collapseobj_statusfeed" style="">
<tbody id="ajax_vb_status_rows"> </tbody>

</table>

Both of those lines in red are going to cause problems. The <div> isn't in a <tr> and it isn't closed. The <tbody> is useless. Clean up stuff like that and then work on getting things aligned. The improper html is probably causing the problem.

2) Clean up the html. I'd guess it won't close because of all the problems you are causing with your improper html.

[Winterworks]

Lynne, I did not code that part. And as a matter of fact, the div is closed down below in the template.

The tbody was added with the modification that imk installed. What should we replace it with?

[Lynne]

You can't just put stuff in a table if it's not in a <tr><td> All things must be in a <td> tag. The <div> tag is not. And, you can't start a div and not close it within the same element. You can't go <td><div></td></div> that is not proper and WILL cause problems - it has to be <td><div></div></td>. Maybe you didn't code it, I don't know who did, but it's causing problems.

Fixed Lynne.

Problem still persists. What could the problem be? Now both boxes are same height, but one is bigger. The first one still won't collapse also.

Oh, and one of my questions has been answered. The one on how to hide it on vBa page. I got support on their official forums. Please help with other questions though.

[Lynne]

The first one won't collapse until you modify the table to be the same as for the other one. Right now, you have this div just thrown in there, around a tbody tag?!?!, and it is useless and causing problems. You can't do that. Copy the code you used for the Connect box.

[Winterworks]

Okay, the <div> is gone, but now how do I make all that area collapse? I do not understand Lynne. Everytime I try touching something, it ruins it. This modification was coded horribly, and now it won't let me remove anything.

Removing the <tbody></tbody> tags makes the box not show at all. It makes no sense.

Those are all the ones that would affect this. I just want them to be aligned together, and be collapsable.

[Lynne]

There is an article in the articles forums on how to make a collapsible box. Also, your second box is collapsible, so you have the code right there. This is for your Status Feed:

<tr>
<td class="tcat"><a style="float:right" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('statusfeed')"><img id="collapseimg_statusfeed" src="http://manlystuff.com/forum//images/raven/buttons/collapse_thead_collapsed.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

Status Feed<!--BEGIN VB STATUS-->
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>


This is for your Connect:
<tr>
<td style="margin:0px;" class="tcat">

<a style="float:right" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('connect')"><img id="collapseimg_connect" src="http://manlystuff.com/forum//images/raven/buttons/collapse_thead.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
Connect</td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td height="156px" class="alt1" id="collapseobj_connect" style="">

Notice the second row td tag has an id that relates to the collapsible box id.

[Winterworks]

Yes. I've added it to the status feed one too before, but it wouldn't work. Could you edit the template and put it where it belongs?

[imk]

grrrr now my usc2.2 hack wont even work

this is such a mess
please can anyone help?

[Lynne]

You did not add the id tag needed to collapse the box to the <td> tag like I suggested. I'm not sure what else to suggest for you.

[Winterworks]

I actually did try it, Lynne. It only collapsed about 3 empty pixels.

[Lynne]

Exactly what did you try? Post the code or I can't see if you did anything wrong.

edit: Actually, I can see what you are talking about. You may have to change the code in the javascript to get it right. I don't do javascript, so....

[Winterworks]

Try it on the website, it simply collapses that top white part.

[imk]

also why isnt my usc hack working?

[Winterworks]

imk, that is what was making the sidebar. I can make it work for you again in a few minutes.

[Lynne]

I did try it on your site and saw what it did. As I said, I think it is probably something in the javascript you need to change and I don't play with javascript.

[imk]

how about the alignment?

[Lynne]

how about the alignment?
Look at the tables holding each box. They are totally different:
<table class="tborder" height="188px" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="<if condition="$show['vbstatus_forumhome']">display: block;<else />display: none;</if>margin-bottom: 20px;" id="ajax_vb_status_table">

And

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

One of them has a height and a margin. You need to be consistent of they will act differently.

[Winterworks]

Fixed, thank you Lynne!

The status feed has originally worked properly, otherwise this thread would appear a few months ago when the feed was first coded. Furthermore, if the mod was malfunctioning, the author of this thread would not contact me just a few days ago asking me to make additional custom coding for the feed.

From the screenshots posted in this thread, it looks like the author of the thread might have one or two other hacks installed that messed up the HTML layout and prevent the status feed from working. Possibly, it is the facebook connect hack with that little box that was added to the right of the status feed, but could be something else.

Whatever is the case, I was never told that there was a problem with this mod, and I was never asked to resolve any such problem.

P.S. Since most of the mod is now quoted in this thread, I assume it would be fine if I released the whole thing publicly on this website?

oh hell ya, thats a sick mod!

It never fully worked in Internet Explorer, that is the problem. We have it fully working in Firefox. Please look into it.
