I added a category background image to my site this week (courtesy of Michell69). Everything looks great, but it broke the blinking PM bar. This hack of FireFly's hack will let you get the blinking PM bar back. It will not alternate between the flashing color and the image. But, it will allow you to have the flashing color and any other color you choose. I added the cat background image using the replacement variable trick where you enter:
#color" "background="{imagesfolder}/catbgimage.gif as the replacement variable. I used the first color to alternate with the flashing color. My users are very happy now. :) |
Sweet, I always wanted something like that

Nice hack, thanks. :up:
|
I followed the direction in the txt file, but it doesn't work for my forum

Nice job FWC! :)

hey fwc. i am using a nt machine and i cannot download the txt file because of the security setings that the sys admin has imposed.
Can you email this to sgtsling@hotmail.com ? yes I am a member and the staff around here can verify that [if he weren't licensed he wouldn't be able to post here anyway... -ff] |
FWC- I added your modified version after adding a graphic to my category bg and I'm still not having luck with it working for me. I'm using 2.2.8 this shouldn't effect it though, right?

Why not simply create a "highlight" version if your background image...
Then use pmBox.background='/images/whatever.gif'; instead of pmBox.bgcolor='#whatever';? Then you would have alternate flashing images, and the flashy box won't look odd being the only one in the page with flat colours :) |
Nice Idea. But I solved it without any hacking, just with template-changing and two shading backgrounds. Coz my "Code" needs no php-hack I won't attach it here, but will post it on vBtemplates.
All you have to do is to check the variable $lightbulb Code:
if ("$lightbulb" == "on") { |
Do you have to have Fireflys pm bar installed already for this to work?
