I see ZTSKY, so I'm assuming those characters are Chinese chars.

first thankz for this hack but i have one problem
$newsfadebits = "\"welcome new member<b>$newusername</b>\",\"\",\n";
i use this code but it did not show up the username
what's wrong??
1. use "ultra edit32" open hack's txt file.
2. this hack can use in vbb220 or vbb221 because this code:
$newsfades=$DB_site->query("SELECT title,pagetext FROM announcement WHERE enddate>='$datenow' AND forumid=0 ORDER BY startdate DESC");
3. this code
$newsfadebits = "\"welcome new member<b>$newusername</b>\",\"\",\n";
I have no time to test.Because i have not use this code. :rolleyes:

what's wrong?? You have to move the code for index.php further down the page. $newusername hasn't been determined yet if you put it where the instructions say. I put it right after:
// get newest member
$getnewestusers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username FROM user WHERE userid=$numbersmembers[max]");
$newusername=$getnewestusers['username'];
$newuserid=$getnewestusers['userid'];on my test board and it works that way.

hmmmmm thanks for your help, but it only says welcome to or newest member, by the way i am using 2.2.1 so maybe its a different code?
THANKSA!!

THANKSA!! Read the first page of this thread. I explain how to fix that there. You have to move the hack further down in index.php so the $newusername value is determined before this hack. It's always a good idea to read the whole thread before installing a hack. I even read the 15 page ones. :)

I'm having the same problem, I put the code where you said but it doesn't cycle for some reason?

I just reread the instructions. Didn't realize I had to move the entire hack below that line. DOH :D

Well acutally no it's not now either :(
I made the changes, but it only shows the new member, then it cycles away and nothing comes up. I added a test news messge too:(
JTMON
11-27-2001, 01:50 AM
:rolleyes:
again I misspoke. It cycles to my test message but because I hyperlinked it, it's the same color as the bacground:D
How do I change the fader background color? and font color on fader itself?
Also, it cylces to my test message and stops. shouldn't it keep going in a circle back to newest member?

You can also change the color of the cell around the fader in the forumhome template addition. I am not sure why you wouldn't continuously cycle unless you changed the number of cycles in the fader.js file. I think it defaults to 100.

Can I use the vbulletin variables like {tableheadcolor} in the .js file?
THANK YOU:D:D:D:D:D:D

One question, i added:
$newsfadebits = "\"Welcome to our newest member <b>$newusername</b>\",\"\",\n";
After this:
// get newest member
$getnewestusers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username FROM user WHERE userid=$numbersmembers[max]");
$newusername=$getnewestusers['username'];
$newuserid=$getnewestusers['userid'];
And it works fine, it says: Welcome to our newest member username....
but it dont scrolls to the next news item, it only says welcome to our newest member :(
Does anyone know how 2 fix this?
JTMON
12-05-2001, 06:33 PM
I had the same problem, the solution is on page 1 of this hack, you need to move ALL the code below a certain point.

Thanks, first it didnt worked but then i replaced this rule:
$newsfadebits = "";
with:
$newsfadebits = "\"Welcome to our newest member <b>$newusername</b>\",\"\",\n";
And it works perfect now :)

Maybe:

???

I cannot get this hack to work for the life of me!
I have followed all instructions in the txt file and in all posts and still nothing.
Can someone please tell me were Im going wrong:
Running version 2.2.1
Installed the main index txt after this:
// get newest member
$getnewestusers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username FROM user WHERE userid=$numbersmembers[max]");
$newusername=$getnewestusers['username'];
$newuserid=$getnewestusers['userid'];
And put this txt: $newsfadebits = "\"Welcome to our newest member <b>$newusername</b>\",\"\",\n";
is this correct?
Can someone please write a better understanding install txt instructions for 2.2.1 please.
I have the news box on the main forum page but I cannot get anything to show or scroll across it.
Thanks. :confused:
If you have all the hack PHP code installed where you say it's installed, it should work. Make sure the new user line is first. Then make sure all the javascript code is installed correctly. Also, it does not work with Nutscrape 6.2. If you are using that, try IE.

Did you add the required javascript to your forumhome template?
Did you add the right code to index.php. And read the whole thread. It has to be in the right place, not where the instructions say.

No, but there are tons of other hacks that will, this is from vBulletin 2.0 and from the year of 2001. You might want to try looking at the 3.5 forums and not 2.0 ;)
