Don't use colour=yellow :eek:

Use the [high] tag instead.

I dont get it
The high tag changes for each style. On Dark Blue its yellow and on Purple & both green styles, its red. Its very hard to see yellow on purple style. Thats why I said use the [high] tag instead of color=yellow

Thank you so much. I requested this hack here--

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=57540

So dont know if that had anything to do with it, Either way i dont care, this is the hack i needed THANK YOUUUUUUU

Glan you guys like it,

MindTrix: accually I didn't see the request, I was just working on some java code for one of my other projects that needed custom time code, and thought he this might make a kewl hack for vb.org ;)

I've got some variations and addons for this coming, soon, as well as video messenger chat system I'm playing around with .. but we'll save that for it's own thread later ;)

gmarik: so far it's only the little things I can read in your mind ;)

This hack took about 6 hours to make including the java from scratch... I origionally was trying to make it interactive with replacements, and vbhome. I may still add those as an addon.

Please let me know how the hack install is, as I was butching my forum as I made the install and hack at the same time, I'm trying to improve how I write my install.txt files etc as well :)

hey pixel......i got a problem...the hack is kinda screwing up my template =(

is there a way to load the "getvbtime()" w/ out it being in the body tag?? =/
PixelFx
10-09-2003, 10:30 AM
getvbtime()

is a fuction in my java script, with out it you won't be able to load the js script on the page properly. The only thing I can think of off hand, might be to setup a Replacement for it, but this is something I'll have to test.

I have it working perfectly on my own site, with xhtml strict 1.0 and CSS 2.0 ... there might be a php work around, although I'm not sure since the backend of my script is Java ;)

Ok, here's what I got.


It is now: .


In other words... it's not showing up. I'll upload the index.php so you'd have a look. Yes, It has been hacked already. ^^;;

Sonikku, just FYI...I hope your aware, that you are NOT allowed to attach full vB files, on post like you just did there. You should remove that asap.
Red Blaze
10-09-2003, 04:50 PM
I'm sorry. I really wasn't aware of that. =S I'll put in the code that I edited shortly then. Kinda busy with another hack. Again I'm sorry.

Its a good hack! Though I might not get to use it as Ive fallen in love with vBB3 from an administration perspective. Hope there are future versions for that !

Ok i just installed the hack LOL yeah yeah im lazy. Anyways you have a typo which some people may not have noticed and may be the reason why Sonikku could not get the hack to work.

In your instructions you say---

FIND:
================================================
<head>
================================================

REPLACE WITH:
================================================
<script language="javascript" src="vbtime.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
================================================

Surely the </head> at the bottom should become <head> ;)

I changed it to this during my installation and it works like a dream. I expect you made the error because you was tired as you explained at the beginin.

Hope im right lol, amazing hack works perfect for me
PixelFx
10-13-2003, 07:44 AM
thanks accually it should of been find: </head> and replace with ;)

I'll fix that soon :) the main thing is to keep the

<script language="javascript" src="vbtime.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

somewhere between the <head> and </head> on the file ;)

again I'll fix that soon... it would be lack of sleep ;)

Ok, i figured how to get around it ^_^

just FYI

all i did was add another <body> infront of the <body onload...> and </body> after the origianl </body> :D

hopefully it would screw everything up.......it should right?? :rolleyes:

I've never seen a html template, or page with two body, and two closing tags doubled up. It might work, but I don't think it would validate with other systems. IE is farily lax in it's specification for what you can get away with in html coding ...

why not check out with google, w3schools, and see if that helps you with your problem or w3.org ... ;)
MindTrix
10-13-2003, 03:58 PM
I wudnt of thought u was allowed 2 <body> tags. Anyways i put the code mentioned above before the <head> and it works fine
NightWalk8r
10-13-2003, 04:07 PM
yeah.......the call to the script, u can put anywhere......it worked for me when it was above the <header> tag too :)
PixelFx
10-13-2003, 08:51 PM
I'm working on version of this script that uses php currently ;) or attemping to ;)

the goal is to have native real time in php and or using java ;)

10-13-2003, 09:57 PM
cool........update us on this......caz i dont like the idea of having 2 <body> tags -_-;
PixelFx
10-14-2003, 03:48 AM
Still not sure why you need two body tags, less your trying to put the code out side of a template ;) still I'm working on vbhome update as well. When I have a bit more time I'll make an update.
MindTrix

Seein as you made an add on for the welcome panel i was wondering if theres any chance in another add on for Forum Quick Stats v1.0
(By Boofo)

Because there is a part on the statistics that tells you when the last post was, example --- 7 minutes ago

I was wondering if your hack could be modified for this so it counts up etc, so like it would go 7minutes ago, 7 minutes 5 seconds ago, 7 minutes 6 seconds ago etc.

What you think?

Sweet hope you can, also i just installed a new style, and no matter what i do the clock wont work, but only on this style, odd no?

Sers NightWalk8r

Original :

<body>

You have to do:

<body>
<body onLoad="getvbtime()">

and not only:

<body onLoad="getvbtime()">
