Geez.

I'm going to have to upgrade to Vbulletin 3.5 soon, and I heard that the upgrade to 3.5 will involve erasing virtually every hack currently on previous versions. I have a list of 900+ links stored on my forum, using your wonderful tool. Is there any way I'll be able to save all the links I have stored, install 3.5, and "dump" the list on the new 3.5 board?

I don't want to go through the headache of manually putting in every single link again, assuming there will be a version of this hack compatible with Vbulletin 3.5.

wow... I don't have that many, but still.

Is this true, 3.5 is going to wreck all my hacks? Oy, I don't want to do all that again!

The Geek 08-12-2005 02:52 PM

Guys... this will not work with vb3.5 however upgrading to 3.5 will not erase the hack - it just will stop working. You wont lose any of the data and the port for 3.5 of this version is too far off now.
Even if you upgraded to vb3.5 and this didnt work ... as soon as the port was released, all your old links would start working again.

900 is a hell of a lot! I would have anticipated server load problems with that many! (BTW I am playing with some ideas to optimize even more).

OrangeFlea 08-12-2005 03:12 PM

No server problems, or noticeable slow-downs actually. We run a book forum and whenever a certain novel or author is mentioned, your hack does its part with no problem. This hack is the MVP of the community and I'm glad I don't have to re-enter all the values again. I'd do it again if I have to, but I'm glad don't have to. :)

I know. That's what they said at Vbulletin.com, and that's why you're seeing a lot of re-releases of hacks for 3.5. If it wasn't for the plug-in/hook feature, I wouldn't bother, but support for pre-3.5 versions of Vbulletin will drop gradually as more and more people install 3.5. I'm not gonna upgrade until Geek's Autolinker is ready.

Make sure the box style and other style options are set to a valid css option.

Hi I know your busy... and I know I am not the most popular guy here... but take a look at this link.

http://istockphoto.com/file_search.p...5414035&page=2

you see how you can move your mouse over the small thumbs and a moving window pops up.

I want that effect for the forum threads... like how it is if you was to click on my name here on the left....

I dont know about moving but the persons avatar and small links. I come to you because I KNOW you could do it. I KNOW you could but its just to get you into to it.

I will donate or whatever to the cause... I think it will look crazy sexy and make the overall look of the site hot.

TALK TO ME!!! lol

Hey man... Cool little thing you pointed to there. Yes, it is possible with GAL but would require very minor modifications. I wish I could say I could do it... but Im gonads to the wall with projects right now.

Maybe post something in modification requests... I would be happy to help someone through it (as long as I didnt have to do every little tidbit for them). Could be a cool mod of a mod :)

GlobalFusion 08-15-2005 03:31 PM

Ok, not sure if this is a script bug or user bug.

Here you can see 3 examples i've setup to test output:

I have no boxes!! It looks like the CSS isnt getting processed.


Upon further investigation...

what should be something like this in the DB:
Code:

onmouseover='GAL_popup(this,"1", 200, "class=\"GAL_tablebox\"",

is in fact missing the 'class' part upon DB insertion:

Code:

onmouseover='GAL_popup(this,"1", 200, "",

HELP!



I am running GAL 4.02 on vB 3.0.8

All box styles are set. (set to 'Yellow Box')

I noticed on your own site, in your css it says 'yellowbox' - would this help? (ie; no space etc)

In fact, EVERYTHING has been done as per your instructions in the readme.html file.


I have gone over the instructions several times and double checked all settings time & time again...

have you tried debug->rebuild? Are you using the DB option in settings?

axi 08-16-2005 03:56 AM

Yes I have also tried debug, the boxes are set to something too..

What could possibly be the problem?

axi 08-16-2005 04:05 AM

hkmmm actually it just started working out of nowhere, i tried debugging it again and works. wierd. thanks though

Im not using the DB cache if thats what you mean.

GlobalFusion 08-16-2005 05:21 AM

ok. i set the DB cache to 'yes', and one of them now works. I will look into the code further.

wolfyman 08-16-2005 11:34 AM

Hey Geek... What's the ETA of having this on 3.5? I reeeeeeeeeally want it, I'll sleep with somebody if I have to.

GlobalFusion 08-16-2005 12:23 PM

Ok. I found out the problem.

The reason why it wasnt showing the CSS box for the autolinks was due to the # of chars.

For some reason, while it would still show the characters, after a certain amount(?) it prevents the css from showing.

Is there a particular area/file i should look in to increase this character limit?

axi 08-16-2005 01:59 PM

its actually not working for me again. wierd once again.

axi 08-16-2005 03:01 PM

geek you should try getting a version out with alloving pics in the popups too.. would be so mad

I just got a stiffy.

The Geek 08-16-2005 03:54 PM

It does allow pictures so stiff on :)
(descriptions allow for bbcode and html)

Global- maybe the field size?!? Actually, that is all stored in the datastore so there isnt really a limit. Saying that - I would strongly advise you to use the class and put the CSS in your style section of the CSS as it dramatically cuts down on the page HTML output and renders faster.

Axi - make sure you are using the DB instead of the cache and click debug->rebuild that is almost always the problem (and make sure your box and styles are set to something valid).

The Geek 08-16-2005 03:56 PM

oh, BTW - a port to 3.5 is not far off. I think the initial code is done and now I just have to make the plugin and installer. Those are pretty minor as this didnt really have many file changes to begin with. I was hoping to improve on the code a bit - however I think ill just start with the port so I can feel like I am making progress to 3.5 (I feel like I have spent every availible minute coding the past 6 weeks and its driving me batty).

axi 08-17-2005 11:14 AM

geek, any chance of gettin a Scroll bar happening for Popups with characters that exceed box limit?

Thats an easy CSS attribute.

Code:

overflow:auto

In the CSS for your 'box'.


Code:

border: 1pt solid #000000;
background-color: #FFFFCC;
padding: 1px;
font: 8pt;
overflow: auto;

note: havent tested this idea yet - but that would enable scroll bars. just not sure whether it will fix the 'no css' with excess chars problem.


will try it out now.

In your AdminCP >> GAL >> Styles:

you need to set the styles to be used by your GAL MouseOvers
If you followed the readme file, these should be:

Code:

Yellow Box
border: 1pt solid #000000;
background-color: #FFFFCC;
padding: 1px;
font: 8pt;

Grey Title
border-top: 1px solid black;
border-left: 1px solid black;
border-right: 1px solid black;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
padding: 1px;
font: 8pt;
font-weight: bold;
color: #000000;

The You can either set your styles in

AdminCP >> GAL >> Categories

or on a link by link basis

AdminCP >> GAL >> Display

GoTTi 08-18-2005 01:21 AM
