Panic Button 1.0.1

This is a Panic Button (Should work in IE and FF) in case a member is worried about being on your site at a particular time, for example, at work.

The button defaults to staying glued to the lower right hand corner, but this can be changed in the CSS settings stated below.

The button can also be turned off by each member if they don't want to use it.

This is a hybrid of my Boss Button and yinyangs work to make the java right.

If you have the Custom Error Pages hack installed on a Windows server, you need to edit the settings to use URLs and not files or this will conflict.

The image I use is can obviously be substituted with anything else you like. Just be sure to name your image "panicbutton.gif".

For further 101-ing, I found out TRUE the source of the error:

Profile Field Type: Single-Selection Radio Buttons
Title:  Turn "Panic Button" on?
Description: The Panic Button is an icon that resides in a fixed place of your choosing on your screen on your screen. Clicking the icon immediately sends you to another URL of your choice.
Options: Yes (carriage-return)
		 No

and

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field12] == yes">

which should really be:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field12] == Yes">

(note the small/capital "y"?)

I'll make a note of that in the file and reload.

Done.

well I can't get this to work on vb 3.0.7 and all files, paths, etc are correct.

Shame that, I could do with it on www.meeting4fun.com

What problem did you have?

[unkemone]

I have the same problem. im running a board with 3.0.7 and it just wont come up. i verified that the field #'s are correct and the capital and lowercase y correspond and it wont work.

hmmm.

let's strip it and try it this way first before doing the profile fields.

1. add the new CSS definition
2. make sure the panicbutton.js and panicbutton.gif files are uploaded into the proper folders.
3. add this stripped down code to the beginning of your header:

PHP Code:

<!--[if lt IE 7]><script src="clientscript/panicbutton.js" type="text/javascript"></script><![endif]-->
<div class=panicbutton>
<a href="http://www.google.com"><img src="images/misc/panicbutton.gif" border="0" alt="Panic Button"></a>
</div> 


4. the panic button should show up on the bottom right of your screen and stay in a fixed position.

Thanks for your support but when i add that to the header i get this error

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/content/b/i/g/bigdog829/html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3096) : eval()'d code on line 104

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Take the </if> off the end.
