do ya know how to change the background settings of the fader box?

fader_setup template

FDRbackCol = "white"; should do the trick.

top banana!
can you use code instead of text?

:confused:

you know colours have colour codes
Can i use them, instead of using text, like "white"

Yep, sure.
Use any color in hexa format to fit your needs. Ie #ffffff or #003366 etc.

wowsers...It looks incredible!

hmmmmmm....I use vB 2.0 beta 1 ...any reason why it doesn't work there ?? ..like..where do I add news?, and also, when I check the option to view the fader in my prefs, it keeps unchecking, so there is just the vbtitle showing on the index ... :confused:

Read the first post where stands vBulletin Beta 2 as supported version.

Why are you running Beta 1?

Hi Pef,

Your hack is incredible. I really like it. It does however not allow the PM popup to work. Actually any other javascript will not run with the fader. Any suggestions, or are you going to wait until the final to see what this might be?

Running RC2
Thank You.

I'll wait till final version. I'll try to make News Fader in Flash as well (of course, a source code will be available to download).

Well that is nice Pef. Work well done already.
Looking forward to your new work.

Thank You.

does it work on vb2 rc2 ?

wow!

looks very well!

works perfectly in my board!

I got a little problem with installing the newsfader...

I followed the entire readme, but something is wrong with the manual (which I doubt) or something is different in my template...

I'm on step 6:

But....

The only part I can find that looks like it is this part in the modifyoptions template:

I found it under User Option Templates

Why can't I find it?!?
Or am I doning something wrong?!?

News Fader hack has been written for Beta 2 as mentioned in the first post. And as already said, I'll make a rewrite as soon as the final version hits the shelves. :D

any idea why it wont display on v2 final I've had it running great on all the other versions?

might be an awfully stupid question, but I have to ask, I have now installed it on RC3...shows up and looks nice and all that, but heh...where can I add those nice news ?? ;)

Pef said that he will be releasing a new version for the final. I'm quite sure that he is aware of the final being released. Patience is a virtue.

TwiZteR -

You add the news to the news template that you created.

k tnx, works now..told u it could be a stupid qst :D ..anyways..is there any way to insert links there?, if I tried with html, it stopped working, if I tried with vbb code, it showed as text

fader_news template

If you wanna link it should look like this (an example of fader_news template with custom values):

Be sure you didn't add comma at the end of the last line. This is very important. With the comma at the end News Fader won't work correctly.
Let's take a look at the values we have in our example:

"Visit Yahoo,","http://www.yahoo.com",

Visit Yahoo - a text which will be displayed when "fading". If this text is followed by hyperlink it'll the be changed to link so that the link will look like this:
Visit Yahoo

I hope I made it clear. :)

Last word: As soon as the hack(s) is(are) rewritten other versions than vBulletin 2.0 Final won't be supported.

cleared it all up, tnx alot ;)

is it released to v2 already?

I just installed this hack. I love it, but I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to add Birthdays to it.

Also in the setup template, could you explain what the settings are, and what they do.

@ dakota just put $birthdaybits somewhere in the fader_news template

ok well I tryed that and I added this to the fader_news template

But now it doesn't load.

Edit: btw I am using RC3

Might want to upgrade to 2.0.1. RC3 will not be supported or written for.

Well currently I cannot upgrade. I do not know the member info for my forum. I am not the one who owns the license, and I haven't been able to contact my host in a while.

I'm running v2.01 final so I cant test this for you as news fader is not yet working for final but this should work

"Todays Birthdays: $birthdaybits","",

Sweet! I can't wait to try the hack

When does it work with the final?

ALL:

I would advise that everyone wait for the re-write for 2.0 final. There is a problem with the hack working with some of the jscripting. If you install this, your pop up PM's will not work for example. Hopefully Pef will give us an update to where this is at.

Cheers all,
Hooper

In the new version you should also have an option to have the text scroll across it.

anyone have news about the new fader hack????

Would be possible somehow to use this hack with changes to the code to do the following?

Say you have a page either in vb or just a plain page that has a border with a color of blue for this example. Could you place code like this in somehow to have the dark blue border fade to lite blue and back to dark blue. Just steady rotating of the border color fading in and out?

Joey

I'm forced to say I have to leave this community for some time due to my new job and some projects I work for (and of course my personal life). This all means I won't be able to rewrite my hacks as promised so if anyone is interested in the rewrite, just go ahead. You'll find links to my old hacks in my signature.
I apologize for any inconveniences.
