Update I think you should put the images under images/misc/
Anyway, i put it there and change the stocks.php accordingly.

Yes and there was never a how:confused:

I posted that and here is how

Upload the images to images/misc/ folder instead of images/

in stocks.php file, look at the top lines where it said
change it to
change /forums/ to /forum/ if your url is forum

thanks

i'm trying to get this but i'm still a noob...definitely don't get the instructions

Create the 3 included templates, name of the file is name of template. Replace the hardcoded links /forums/ with yours. Upload the modules folder and the images folder in your forum root. Create the vbadvanced module as you normally would.

who can tell me step by step

what is vbadvance

go to admincp, Styles & Templates=>Style Manager=>Add new Template
Put the template name in the title box and the content of the template in the template box

Repeat for all 3 of them.

Use ftp to upload the files in the folder where your forum is install. Modules goes in modules

then go to admincp=>vbaCMS=>Add Module=>PHP file.
Give a name to module title.
Select the column where you want it to display
active yes,
update all pages up to you,
file to include: stocks.php
module parent: none
identifier: stocks.
Templates used : put the 3 remplates title separated by a comma.
clean file out put: no
use module shell: yes
Title row span: 3

you can forget about all instructions until you have http://www.vbadvanced.com installed.

Lionel,

How about a vbadvanced block for top 10 portfolios ?

That should be very easy to do. But i am busy doing a video on demand and a song playlist hack (99% done)

Lionel,
Do you know where to change the font color of the CMS block ? For example, the font "Market summary is in black. I want to change it to white.
Is it in the CSS of the style ? It's weird since the who online and Calendar have different color than the rest.

Thanks

almost all of them are black. I think it's because they are not linked. Enter the urll address in the module.

Ah ha... you are right....how do I find the correct link to those modules in vbcms ? only online and calendar have proper links...the rests are just...any link ?

Here is what Brian from VBA said
http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8525

I'm not exactly able to follow his suggestion.

you have 2 choices

1-add to your css, tcat or thead whichever it is this way all non links will also be white in there

2-Navigate to the page, e.g. http://www.site.com/forums/vbtrade.php to make sure it's the correct link, then you copy the address from your browser and go back to edit the module. In the Module Shell Template Options, if you are using it, then you put in the link in module link.

Go with the css solution also as sometimes you will not have link. But still link those you can.

Thanks so much, Lionel. You are always there when I need help.

By the way, I found a way to create the application status system using condition and custom pages...very clever way to use vb underlying code.

What are you working on ? Anything we can benefit soon ?

check my homepage. Main homepage, Videos and Entertainment section :-)

One word... WOW
Is this your fulltime job ;) ?

The entertainment section is way cool, music loads instantly....the songs kinda remind of my vacation in the Bahamas

Is the scrolling marquee a vb mod ?

The scrolling marquee is a vb mod.
I do this as a hobby. In entertainment section, members can go to downloads section and add as many songs they wish on their playlist, and then play them all.

I like the Hot or Not pic section. The girls are really hot.... ;)

Can you point me to the vb mod you use for marquee?

I added your site to my fav to see what new tricks you coming up...hopefully i'll learn a few thing along the way.

I modified this one to suit my needs. The original one pulls only the latest sticky

thanks,
Ok, back to topic. I'm trying to put the SYMBOL LAST CHANGE under the td class=thead

As you can see from my home, it breaks into 3 different blocks. I'm playing with it and trying this in the mainstock module template

<tr><td class="thead"><span class="smallfont"><strong>SYMBOL</strong></span></td><td class="thead"><span class="smallfont"><strong>LAST</strong></span></td><td class="thead"><span class="smallfont"><strong>CHANGE</strong></span></td></tr>$thestocks
<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo[userid] > '0'">

cool. You can do a lot with conditionals. There are plenty of them you can use.

Lionel,

Can you take a look at the background color of the vba cmps block ? All of my styles, the stock block has different color than the background of other blocks....

I think in the template code, the color is set differently from the default vba block.
thanks

Give the <td> a class="alt1" or altt2

Lol...was about to remind you, Lionel.

The vba module freaks out today because of the wrong feed....

Thanks for the quick update

Great mod - *installed* @ www.roicommunity.com

A few questions:
Is it possible to remove the gridlines that appear?

I used to use a wordpress plugin that would pop up a mini stockchart of today's action when you hovered over the link. I'm almost certain yahoo provided the stock charts. Perhaps something like that could be integrated into a future version of the mod?

Keep up the great work Lionel!

The gridline is from the table cellspacing="1". Set it to zero.
you need to fix your images path.

Thanks for the tip - It looks like the cellspacing is defined in the adv_portal_module_shell template. how do I adjust it to 0 here but no where else on my portal?

You would have to edit the adv_portal_module_shell template and set a conditional like

cellspacing="<if condition="$mods[name]=='the_name_of_module'">0<else />1</if>"
The name of the module is what you called it when you added it in Add Module.

I suggest you ask at www.vbadvanced.com for the the proper syntax (I am not sure if it's $mods[name])

Someone brought to my attention that my Homepage loads very slowly. After i disable this vba block, the loading time vbMicrostat is 0.18 second compared to around 10-20 seconds before. Testing using Firefox.

Maybe you should take a look and see why ? Something with the yahoo feed ?

Hi Lionel,

I've downloaded your updated_stocks.zip only to find a stocks.php.
Where are the codes and instructions to create the template files and module?

Please advise on this.

I just uploaded again. I forgot to include them when I updated the zip, sorry about that.

Hi Lionel,

Thanks for the quick response..I think you missed out the images too... :)

Gee, I am really out of it...

Uploaded.

Are there any changes in this new updated ?

nope

is there any related mod for VB4? I run a stock market discussion forum.

I would be interested in a version for vB4 as well. Also, do I need to have vBadvanced installed with this?

Thanks!!!
