is there a way to make it transparent?

i added your bgcolor code and got the color to change to what ever i want it to be...but i was hoping to make that little section transparent so the background image would show thru.

i tried lasto's thought of a simple break or space...but im not exactly sure what the code should look like in the file. is it just a simple tag that replaces what is in the custom template?

sorry...but im new to all of this stuff...

i do appreciate the help :)

Yes, I am almost certain a tag will work in the custom template. However I cannot test this due to some problems with my localhost (im running ancient PHP/Apache versions hehe)

ok do i insert the break tag in place of the code you have listed? or does it go somewhere inside of the code you have?

Thinking about it, it may not work. But try it, open the template forumdisplay_sepsai and replace contents with 

(Dont think it will work due to the tables)

I can guess there would be no problems. [/B]

You mean my forumdisplaybit?

Well,

Code:

$sepsai

<tr align="center">

        <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$thread[newoldhot].gif" border="0" alt=""></td>

        <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}">$thread[icon]</td>

        <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left" width="70%"><normalfont>$thread[gotonew] $paperclip$thread[movedprefix]$thread[typeprefix]<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$thread[threadid]">$thread[title]</a></normalfont> <smallfont>$thread[pagenav]</smallfont></td>

and so on....

Sorry, I meant for foumdisplay_sepsai template

Code:

<tr valign="top">

 <td colspan="10"><img src="{imagesfolder}/clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>

</tr>

That should be it. :speechless:

Thanks in advance..

Well, I think I've got the answer... my table border color.. and that's the one!

How stupid am I as it took me weeks to clear this doubt..

thanks for your time anyway... :)

Well glad you got it:)

Any fix for the Moved: issuse yet? I would really like to add this hack.

Sadly I still haven't found an obvioud fix fort he moved issue, although I have some ideas, I will work on a fix soon:) (Today probably)

Anxiously awaiting both the moved threads and the announcements without stickies fixes, as this is a very nice hack to have for a board with at least 2 or 3 stickies in each forum!

Oops.. almost forgotten to click install. :speechless:

YEs...Still looking forward to this hack.

great hack,

I know someone prob did this, but I was updating my forum with vb 2.3.2. and made this small template change if anyone is interested :) works great :) good job!

Edit: Template "forumdisplay_sepsai" change contents to:

Code:



<tr valign="top">

 <td colspan="10" bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}"><img src="{imagesfolder}/clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>

</tr>

basically I just added {tableheadbgcolor} with a bgcolor change, to make it fit any style :) again I didn't read the whole post so not sure if someone did this or not, but hope it helps.

assassingod, thanks for a wonderous and simple hack.

Somebody said earlier that the divider was a bit harsh and they offered a suggestion. what i ended up doing was using an image as my divider. This can be done by making the following change to your 'forumdisplay_sepsai' template.

Code:

$announcement

<tr valign="top">

 <td colspan="10"><img src="{imagesfolder}/clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>

</tr>

Just change the "clear.gif" reference to the image you want to use. You must change the height and width settings to the height and width of the new image though. If you do not know what that is, just remove it. You would then use a line simular to the following:

Code:

<img src="{imagesfolder}/InsertYourFileNameHere.gif" alt="">

I took mine a step further. It pulls a random image out of a directory and displays it in the divider spot.

See the image I have provided for an example of how mine looks or you can goto http://www.dungeonkeepersdomain.com and look in any of the forums for a working example. Reload the page and see if the image changes.

If you want to know how to do this, follow these instructions.

Note: Do this only after you have successfully installed this hack.

Make a directory under your {imagesfolder} directory called "divider" or whatever you want to call it and put all your images that you wish to pull from in there. Name them "1.gif", "2.gif", etc...

Edit your "phpinclude" template and add the following to the bottom of it:

Code:

$dividerimagenumber=rand(1,6);

$dividerimage="/divider/$dividerimagenumber.gif";

Note: Modify the "divider" to be the name of the directory you created under {imagesfolder}.

Note: Change the (1,6) to 1,the number of images in your "divider" directory). If you 25 images in your divider directory, it would says (1,25);

Save the "phpinclude" template.

edit your "forumdisplay_sepsai" template.

Replace the default values from the hack in this template with the following:

Code:

$announcement

<tr valign="top">

 <td colspan="10" bgcolor="#000000" align="center"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$dividerimage" alt=""></td>

</tr>

Note: Change the bgcolor="#000000" to any color you like. You can type in a 6-digit hex code (if you know it) or just replace the "#000000" with "black" or "red" or whatever.

That is pretty much it. Now when you load up a page where this hack is necessary, it will pull a random image from the "divider" folder and display it.

I am still waiting for it to work as needed. (or intended) :)

bitg nice idea,

I soppose if people wanted to they could add or banner script to that as well. Which would be easy as well :)

That was my plan for down the line on my site.

bitg, very nice. If you don't mind i'll add this to the first post for people who want what you did:)

I think this should go into beta until it works correctly..

assassingod, I do not mind at all.

It actually does work properly, but as with most hacks there are some bugs. I have only encountered 2, and 1 has been fixed

bitg, Thanks much!

I've updated the first post. Thanks again bitg

Assassingod,

The download link of the hack is broken.. can you fix it?

I tryed downloading last night and I got an bronken link.. but now it went through ok... :)

Haven't heard of this problem yet.

Are you sure you installed everything correctly?

im positive..... would you like me to post my forumdisplay.php and the edited template file???

No, you can't post full vB files.

What other hacks have you installed that required editing forumdisplay.php?

Any lick on the "moved" issue?

I can't see how any of those hacks will effect mine.

Try uninstalling the hack, then reinstalling it
