How to add images to the divider

Quote:

(Author bitg)

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="">

How to change the divider to a random image

Quote:

(Author bitg)

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

[high]Note:[/high] 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:

PHP Code:


		
			
$dividerimagenumber=rand(1,6);

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

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

[high]Note:[/high] 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>

[high]Note:[/high] 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.

If you use this hack please click the INSTALL button - thank you!

I don't suppose there's a way to make the announcements go back above the sticky topics is there? Don't worry if not, it's not often I post announcements anyway.. ;)

assassingod

07-01-2003 09:04 PM

There is a way, and I had it figured out earlier, IIRC its just messing around with the arrangment of the variables. I'll have another attempt at it later:)

This rules. :rambo:

If you manage to find out how to get announcements above (for us slightly n00bie PHP/VB-ers). That would be top :D

This mod also seems to be seperating any new threads that are moved and have the "Moved: " prefix.. :ermm:

Screenshot attached.

Note: I haven't moved the $announcement variable to forumdisplay_sepsai yet since I wanted the announcement to stay on top of my stickies.. Though this doesn't make a difference to this problem anyway.

assassingod

07-02-2003 06:07 PM

Ah right, I thought something like this might happen, never looked into it though.

I'll have a play with it later and see if i can fix it:)

07-02-2003 06:11 PM

Thanks Assassin ;)

What variable did you move? Im lost :confused:

I will take a look at moving announcements to the top later on tonight, if that's alright with you:)

07-02-2003 06:18 PM

Fine with me ;) Im just curious as Im in the n00b phase with PHP. Hacks I can install and generally nudge around if they aren't quite right but when it gets to this.. Im teh n00bness :alien:

awesome hack, saw this on someones board the other day and wanted it.. a few days later it apears! thx!!!

I modified mine a little bit because the seperator line colour was a bit too harsh.

For those who want this change but don't know how to do it:

Here's how to make it match your table header BG colour:

Quote:

$announcement
<tr valign="top" bgcolor=#1D6AA0>
<td colspan="10"><img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1"></td>
</tr>

open forumdisplay.php
cut:

PHP Code:


		
			
if(!$addedRow and $stickyids and $thread[sticky] == 0 and $addedRow = true){

          eval("\$sepsai = \"".gettemplate('forumdisplay_sepsai')."\";");

        } else {

            $sepsai = '';

        }

paste the code above:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($thread[open]==10) {

I just tested this out, and it didn't move 'moved' threads to the top.:confused:

Also, AXH, that wont work. Ive tried it and got a parse error (since you didnt mention you need a '}' after

PHP Code:


		
			
  $sepsai = '';

}

)

And after I sorted that it stopped my hack from working.

It doesn't move previously moved threads above the seperator, it's after you install it and move a new thread, things seem to go weird..

Any chance it's conflicting with this hack by Xenon?

Still working on it;)

Oblivion Knight;
Yes, I know, I installed my hack then moved a thread and it didnt move it to the top, strange:confused:
Xenon's hack may be conflicting with mine, I havent used his but I will test it out later tonight.

To make announcements appear at the top, open up template 'forumdisplay_sepsai' and remove

$announcement

Everything seems to be working fine for me.. The annoucements are placed at the top and so forth.. My only problem is that it only separate the stuff from other topics if I have an Annoucement and a FIXED(sticky) thread together. If I only have an Annoucement it does not separate the annoucement alone.

Here is the annoucement on top w/ stickys'..:

Here is just the annoucement:

Great little hack by the way.

Well I got a parse error...

Hmmm, I just tested this locally, and my announcement disappeared. Very strange. I'll sort this out, among other problems later tonight. Thanks for bringing this to my attention:)

Just to help those that didn't quite understand what they had to do with that code in oder to get it to mach your vB board..

On step 2 onto installing your SEPSAI hack change the following line:

..and that should use the clear.gif image in your's forum image dir . :banana:

assassingod

No problem..

assassingod

07-03-2003 08:13 PM

Thanks gltdn, I thought I changed that because I was using {imagesfolder} but vB converted it to vB.orgs images folder & clear.gif.

I will work on the problems tomorrow night.

Cool hack Assasingod!
Let's hope you can make the announcement threads to go with it aswell!

Hi,

have you fixed the moved threads issue?

Because i have the same problem now, and it looks horrible...

assassingod

07-07-2003 07:42 PM

I've had a look into it, but I can't find any obvious reason why it's doing that. I am sure a little more hackin' is required so I will have another go later.

David Bott

07-10-2003 06:11 PM

Any word? Nice hack, but at this point not 100% as it needs to be. :)

Im also having this problem.. Stickies move up, and as long as they are there, announcements are up too. But when they arnt, announcements go back to being regular

is now, template problem :P

Hostc

07-13-2003 03:17 AM

Why does this need file edits? Wouldn't it just require a template edit?

assassingod

07-13-2003 06:16 AM

How so Hostc? In vB3 it can be done via template edits, not vB2 though.

All times are GMT. The time now is 04:43 PM.
