New look when the forum is OFF

1 Attachment(s)

Hello,
This is a very small modification and in the same time it is my first hack.

What it does: when you turn your forum off, the letters for what ever you write in the field for the reason of closing the forum will be moved (like typing).

Time to install: ~ 1 sec.

Demo: Click here.

How to install: in the field for the reason of closing the forum, just place the content with the following: (of course you can change the content reason). :)

PHP Code:


		
			
<span id="typing">


Sorry, the board is unavailable at the moment while we are testing some functionality.
<br>
We will be back soon...
<br>

</span>

<script type="text/javascript">

interval = 100; // Interval in milliseconds to wait between characters

if(document.getElementById) {
  t = document.getElementById("typing");
  if(t.innerHTML) {
    typingBuffer = ""; // buffer prevents some browsers stripping spaces
    it = 0;
    mytext = t.innerHTML;
    t.innerHTML = "";
    typeit();
  }
}

function typeit() {
  // mytext = mytext.replace(/<([^<])*>/, "");     // Strip HTML from text
  if(it < mytext.length) {
    typingBuffer += mytext.charAt(it);
    t.innerHTML = typingBuffer;
    it++;
    setTimeout("typeit()", interval);
  }
}
</script>

Does this have any server draw?

And please post a text file. ;)

Thanks for installing and your replies :)

- Yes, it is not exactly a hack, it likes a vb tip as ZIKI-SET said.

- As you can see from the demo, I think it will not draw a lot from the server. Also, in the same time, the forum is closed, so no more load.

- a txt file was added.

Many thanks :)

Indeed. To fit into this Forum, (as per the box at the top) it must use a hook.

Doesn't appear to use a hook to me..

Why would you need a hook for this when all you have to do is replace the text with it?

You could use global_start, I would think.

EDIT: Ahhh, ok, I get what you meant. Sorry about that. ;)

Wrong forum.

LOL I'll bet you were trying to get a look at the driver to see what I looked like, huh? ;)

kall	04-29-2006 07:10 AM

The avatar made me really surprised when you turned out to be a hot blonde.

Surprised...and a tad disturbed. :P

You think you're disturbed, how do you think I feel wearing a dress? ;).

This looks interesting. I would much rather see a style of my choosing show up when the forums are closed or a redirect to a url of my choosing when the forums are closed. That would be more useful to me.

Works for me in Firefox (for Mac) as well as Camino...

Do you at least see the text (just without the typing effect?)

Roms	05-27-2006 02:09 AM

Great Tip, however:

This isn't a template modification... People that post outstanding tutorials don't get credit for installs (which is a shame).... Why should this?

This is not a tutorial. "+_-

So, where do you think I should post it?

If you liked it, just click install. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/02/1.gif

It's more of a "tutorial" than anything, it's a "how to". It doesn't belong in this area, it does not modify a template in any way.

No, I didn't install it, I was being "nice" by saying it was a great tip, I'm really not big on the typing... :p (it's called "be nice and tell them the bad news..." )

BoYagoob

05-27-2006 04:11 AM

I know, but still you didn't mention any section where I can post my tip. :(

So, I posted it here ..

Roms	05-27-2006 04:18 AM

You're welcome:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=110

I'm not trying to be rude but this does NOT qualify as a template modification. Period.

I've had staff bugging me for things that were very minute, and yet this is far from a template mod and is still here, go figure... (didn't Kall mention this fact? ) :p

Yeah, but that was before I was staff, and had this big stick, and Kerry-Anne to do it anyway.

It can actually be done as a template mod, if done slightly differently, but as it stands this is the best forum for it.

The template modifications forum is soley for items that require modifications to one or more template. As this is extra code to input into an existing textbox in the ACP, and does not require any template modifications, it does not qualify as a template modification but is rather a tip on how to do aomething a bit different with your site, hence it's location in the Hints and Tips forum.
