Floating notice box in forumhome.
1 Attachment(s)
This "Mod" will allow you to have a floating notice box in your Forumhome, however it can easily be adapted to show wherever you like!
The original javascript for the float and the box are from here http://www.jtricks.com/javascript/na.../floating.html all the information here does is help you understand where to put the code and how to use it etc
Go to AdminCp>Style Manager>YOUR STYLE>Header and underneath add this (currently it is set to only show to unregistered users)
PHP Code:
<!-- float div -->
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND is_member_of($bbuserinfo,1)"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<!-- float div end -->
Now go to Headinclude and right at the very bottom add
PHP Code:
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND is_member_of($bbuserinfo,1)"><<div id="floatdiv" style="
position:absolute;
width:200px;height:50px;left:0px;top:0px;
padding:16px;background:#FFFFFF;
border:2px double #2266AA">
This is a floating javascript menu.
</div> </if>
the reason for capturing the SCRIPT and the USERGROUP in both places is to prevent a page script error (denoted by a little yellow triangle at the bottom left of your browser)
I used a little css to jazz mine up, again go to your style>Main CSS and in the additional CSS Definitions add this
PHP Code:
/* ***** Notice colours ***** */
.notice,{padding:.8em;margin-bottom:1.6em;border:2px solid #ddd;}
.notice {background:#FFF6BF;color:#514721;border-color:#FFD324;}
.notice a {color:#514721; background:none; padding:0; margin:0; }
now in your headinclude change this
PHP Code:
<div id="floatdiv" style="
position:absolute;
width:200px;height:50px;left:0px;top:0px;
padding:16px;background:#FFFFFF;
border:2px solid #2266AA">
for this
PHP Code:
<div id="floatdiv" style="position:absolute" class="notice"><img src="images/statusicon/announcement_new.gif" alt=""/>
And thats it, you should now be able to see the floating box with your message when you aren't logged in at your forumhome.
