Screenshots are all in zip.
Please use winrar 3.0 or newer to extract it.

What's the deal with all the new "2.0's"? Why didn't you just post this in the old thread? It's not your hack to take full credit for anyways.

[xware]

Credit have been given in the rar file and you can see.

[Dean C]

can you put it in a zip please and not a rar? :D

[Ian]

I attatched it:

[Chris M]

Cool:)

[Crazy Mofo]

is it me or is there alot of £ in it?

[DestyNova]

no, it is not just you. I saw these too, just use replace feature to replace all of £ with blank or backward

[Schorsch]

thanks for your work !!

ehh..just like the old proboard days, scarry *runs*
This actually might be very useful on my vbhome page... ;)

Although you really should have just released it in the original thread..but I know..it's the whole fame ego boosting thing..

I've got a quick offtopic question about your avatar xware, why does that character seem like he's always coughing? whenever I see that avatar it always questions me...:p

[squid93087]

thank you very usefuly hack

[TheComputerGuy]

Thanks friend, this is awesome

I cannot get more then one line of a thread in the box where it says news. I type something like, this is the newsfader, i will be adding news here everyday etc, but only the first line shows up and the second line is scrunched and not viewable. How can I expand the data box so I can have about 5 lines of text? would also be nice to have a newsfader that can change from one set of text to another like the ubb news faders. is this possible?
.....mauisun

[mauisun]

another problem I have is I did a search for £ and it came up with nothing. when it announces the newest member it has that figure and another one in it before the members name. I am sure that must be in the fader.js but I can't find exactly where in there. I don't want to sound stupid but if someone can fix all this and re-up the zip file to make this hack a bit easier on all of us I, and everyone else would appreciate it very much. thanks

You can add a news as "test1 test2 test3".
Put it in one new.
:D

The file is not need to be re-up or fixed.
You can figure you index.php file in this hack :
$newsfadebits = "\"Welcome our new member $newusername\",\"\",\n";//you can figure in it

Is this version work properly under netscape? The first one was a mees in Netscape and I never found any workaround for this, all sites I've seen using this were a mess under NS... I don't care a lot, but some newbies still use this stupid browser.

[mauisun]

xware, hank you very much for the help. that fixed my strange letters in the welcome new member, I'm still not sure what you mean by the test1,test2 part I know you are talking about adding seperate links so to speak, but how can I get more lettering in any one box? I tired expanding the box size from 30 to 70 but the actual text area itself still remained the same small size, do you have an example you can show me? thanks
......mauisun

[scottct1]

Why is the area where text can be shown only....


----> THIS BIG <-----

While the space on my bar is

----> THIS BIG <--------

I dont have enough room and some words are being bumped to a second line which is really on top of my other text.

Any way to fix?

[scottct1]

I figured it out.

I edited the fader.js

I found

FDRboxWid = 350;

and made it

FDRboxWid = 650;

Works like a charm now.

Scott Clicks on Install

[mauisun]

that works good for getting more words in one line, how about being able to make the box height, say 60 instead of 40 and adding more then one line of text to each fader box? I would like to have the box twice its normal height and be able to fit 4-5 rows of text per fader box as they cycle. one other question, where in the fader code is the rate of cycle? It looks liek it is about every 5 seconds or so but I want to change ti to about 10. thanks for the help on the widening part, that helped alot :)
...mauisun

[mauisun]

take that back, I found the blend at 6 seconds here
FDRblendInt = 6;

now I just need to figure out how to add more then 2 lines of text and to space them so they look decent. anyone know where in the code that is? thanks

[scottct1]

One problem I have with this is that if a users is 640x480 (yuck) the fader bar pushing the tables under it too wide so that a user has to sroll to see the entire table below.

It should auto resize so that when you resize your screen the bar also resizes with it.

[ZiRu$]

I installed it....Thx so much

[Okiewan]

now if I could figure-out how to change the text size... board uses styles :(

[AndrewD]

This works fine with IE6 and Netscape 4 but breaks on Netscape 6 I think - isn't it true that Netscape have disowned the 'div' tag?

[Juanito]

I gave up, I've managed to use a little flash movie in the header that load news from a text file instead, so I don't have this problem anymore. I hate netscrap but it must work 100% at least on netscrap and IE

[Kenji Wing]

Having some problems with this hack on vB 2.2.9
When i've installed, he's givin' an Admin error :(
Only the main index.php file, templates & admin are working :S

[cono]

i installed this hack, i am not getting any errors, but the test i put in doesnt show up? i have a white background. any ideas?

thanks,

** edit, its working now, nevermind **

[cono]

ok, i got a new problem.

if your not logged in you can see the fader and it works perfect. no errors no problems at all!!

if you log in, you can see it the first time you visit the forum home page. but then, if you click on a link to a forum and click the back button... its fine. but if you click on a link to a forum and look around or what ever and dont click the back button a bunch of times to get to the forum home, it doesnt show up? its just blank?

any ideas? i cant think of any? i have seen sites that have this working with no problems? i am running vb v2.2.9 and vportal.

thanks,

[ZiRu$]

Installed and working on vb 2.3.5

Thanks

<!-- main -->
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">

I can't find it?
