Click,, Create New Lines,, for each one..

If you want it to show in adv or the arcade ,,
add this under the $navbar in the adv_portal and ARCADE templates..

<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="0" style="width:100%" class="tborder">
<tbody>
 <tr class="tcat">
  <td width="100%" align="left"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('lcd_display')"><img id="collapseimg_lcd_display" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_lcd_display].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

Installed ! does not show anywhere on www.nepalhub.com/

There is nothing in the instructions to say what code to put if adding manually.

[Martell]

Find in product-lcd_display.xml a code $replace = (' <! - main-> ');

Instead of <! - main-> try $navbar or $header, оr other values.

[admin0]

OK..

got it working in the homepage .. I changed the $replace to $navbar.

Question: why does it work only on homepage? and not on internal pages?
Is it possible to show it on arcade page , and also on a non-vb page, but on the same server.

[stangger5]

Yes it will work in the arcade..
Try the adv and the Arcade template edit I just added to the first post...

You should be able to add that to any template..

I can also include http://www.nepalhub.com/lcd.php into an iframe into any external website

How can i change the title in the main forums page to NepalHUB LCD ?

You can add the adv code from the first post..
Then go into the admincp >> Plugins & Products >> Plugin Manager
and find LCD Display[forumhome_start],, uncheck it and save..

In foxfire in shows near the bottom of the lcd box,,to move it up,,you can edit the
lcd template...

Look for

margin-top: 0px;

and change to

margin-top: -3px;

See if that helps..
