OK, I got it working, but I thought of a good improvement to it...

Just so my forums look cleaner, this is what I'd like...

Is it possible to make the text flash also? what i'd like is to make the bar flash to that the background and the text alternate colors. example: if it is normally white text on black background, i'd like to see it so that it flashes back and forth from white text on black background to black text on white background.

i would do it, but know absolutely nothing about coding. could someone else make this happen?

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin

$pmblink pmBox.bgColor='{tableheadbgcolor}';

$pmblink setInterval("Timer()", 500);

$pmblink x=1;

 function Timer() {

        set=1;

        if(x==0 && set==1) {

                pmBox.bgColor='{categorybackcolor }';

                x=1;

                set=0;

        }

        if(x==1 && set==1) {

                pmBox.bgColor='{tableheadbgcolor }';

                x=0;

                set=0;

        }

}

// End -->

</script>

See {tableheadbgcolor } and {categorybackcolor } change it to the colors you want, you can use #000000 for black #FFFFFFF for white, etc..

well, yeah, i got that part. but that flashes just the background. i was inquiring on how I could get the text to flash also in sync with the background flashing. I want where it says "private message" to flash also, but different colors then what the background is flashing

did i make sense this time? i don't know if i'm expressing myself well here...

I have been using that hack for the longest time and it works fine. But is it possible to have just the text blink instead of the entire <td>?

How can I make this hack also appear on vbHome? It is working on Forums Home but I would like it on my vBHome homepage also.

Any help would be appreciated!

I installed 'as-is' and this screwed up my forum display (I have a fixed width forum), it made the forum wider than it should have been.

I changed the code in index.php and this cured my problem, this is how:

PHP Code:


		
			
  // PM Blink Hack

  if ($unreadpm['messages']==0) {

    $pmblink='';

  } else {

    $pmblink="<script language=\"JavaScript\">

<!-- Begin

pmBox.bgColor='#1D6AA0';

setInterval(\"Timer()\", 500);

x=1;

 function Timer() {

    set=1;

    if(x==0 && set==1) {

        pmBox.bgColor='#336D95" background="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/catagory_backing.gif';

        x=1;

        set=0;

    }

    if(x==1 && set==1) {

        pmBox.bgColor='#1C5780';

        x=0;

        set=0;

    }

}

// End -->

</script>";

  }

And changed the forumhome_pmloggedin template to simply:

$allpm[messages] total messages in all your folders.)</smallfont></td>
</tr>
$pmblink

Hope that's useful to others.

LOL vBulletin parses the code ^^^ never realised that before (ie the background color etc).

Well, hopefully you can figure it out if you need to!

I'm using it. Works fine. Just edit the bottom colour value in the template as you see fit I say (regarding 'same-colour' problems);

Code:

pmBox.bgColor='insert colour value';



                x=0;

                set=0;

        }

}

// End -->

</script>

I am sure it will work fine in most instances, but for some reason it completely screwed up my fixed width forum, the changes above meant no problems what so ever, and will also work for other forums (not just fixed width).

YES THANK YOU, this made my 2.3.0 start blinking...I LOVE YOU...

I have a piece of code that will give you blinking text (instead of a blinking background) that works in IE AND Netscape, if anyone is interested.

No problem. I'll let the wife know she has competition now. Maybe it'll straighten her out. ;)

Ok... one question.

On my forum index page the PM title BG is blue. However I can't find the part of code to change this to to the dark grey like the rest of the forum headers.

Why is it blue? Or where do I change this?

ImportPassion

03-13-2003 06:44 PM

I changed it up a bit and made it a little more efficient. For me at least anyway.

PHP Code:


		
			
<script language="JavaScript1.2">

//configure interval btw flash (1000=1 second)

$pmblink var flashspeed=500

function flashme(){

    var flashtable=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("pmBox") : document.all? document.all.pmBox : ""

    if (flashtable){

        var col1 = "{ firstaltcolor }";

        if (flashtable.style.borderColor.indexOf(col1.toLowerCase())!=-1) 

            flashtable.style.borderColor="{ tableheadbgcolor }"

        else

            flashtable.style.borderColor="{ firstaltcolor }"

            }

    }

$pmblink setInterval("flashme()", flashspeed)

</script>

I also added this to the TD
style="border: medium solid { firstaltcolor };"
remove the spaces inside the {}

Will this work with all browsers?

ImportPassion

03-13-2003 07:04 PM

unfortunately no, but should work with IE and NS6. Does not work with Mozilla 1.2, and I had it working with Opera, but it doesn't seem to want to work anymore.

I was looking for an all-in-one solution too.

Boofo

03-13-2003 07:29 PM

Well, you're in luck then. I have one that works with mozilla and IE and I think Netscape for sure. Want it? ;)

Boofo

03-13-2003 07:31 PM

Oh, I forgot to mention, mine only flashes the text.

ImportPassion

03-13-2003 07:37 PM

text i can do. need border or cell to flash.
thanks tho.

Boofo

03-13-2003 07:39 PM

Could probably re-work the code to do that. ;)

ImportPassion

03-13-2003 08:02 PM

send it over and let me see. :cool:

Boofo

03-13-2003 08:09 PM

Use the following javascript in the header of the page and put

<blink>Text goes here</blink>

where ever you want it to go. If you get it working for the background, let me know. ;)

doesn't work in Opera 7.01

WIll see what i can do with it, but I i know u can't change the visibility on colors.

Boofo

03-13-2003 08:19 PM

I just do this to get color:

Quote:

<blink>
<font color="red"><b>$bbuserinfo[username], you have $unreadpm[messages] new private messages</font>
</blink>

and it works fine here. ;)

ImportPassion

03-13-2003 09:09 PM

again, i am not talking about text. cells and borders

Mine flashes red one time...and then doesn't do anything else. Any idea why?

pixelpunk

03-19-2003 08:17 PM

Mine flashes ok but the normal color is IE's default color which is uaually a color that doesn't match A THING on my site.

Does anyone know how to set the default color?
