Add-On Releases - Daily Crossword Puzzle for your site

I just found a neat online crossword puzzle that you can add to your site and I thought, it would be really easy to just make a page to put this in. So, I did just that and made a vbadvanced page as well. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=141333

Step 1: Upload vbcross.php to your forum root
Step 2: Go to your admincp => Plugins & Products => Manage Products => Add/Import Product
Import product-christianb_vbcross.xml

And they are looking for spanish and french translators as well.
See this page for details.

Demo location: http://www.christianboards.org/vbcross.php

This is loaded in an iframe so it is coming from the source site. Because of this there can be a 1-15 second delay.

You can put a link to it in the navbar by doing something like this...

Go to Styles & Templates => Style Manager => Style Choice Drop down All Style Options and choose Edit Templates - Click Go.

Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates >> => navbar

Find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>

Add after:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbcross.php$session[sessionurl_q]">vB Crosswords</a></td>

Changes

V. 1.1 Added support for Who's Online

all you are doing is calling another page via iframe - so no, I don't see how.

Strange.
I'll keep an eye out.

Mine has not changed for 3 days.

If it does not change, then there is an issue with the site onlinecrosswords.net where the crossword is being pulled from. As per their site:

* Absolutely free!

Update: I emailed them today after I checked a 24 hour difference and noticed it had not been changed - they emailed me back notifying me it was updated and - they had done so

I really like this hack and have installed it and am sure it will become as, if not more popular, than our arcade, but I have a couple of questions to ask and a comment to make.

Please don?t get angry, but some of us have no idea how to use these hacks and we are not going to type in things like http:?yoursite/forum/vbcross.php every time we want to use this program. Anyway, for us ?dummy types? might I suggest you include a link in the navbar, maybe in the product file, so I don?t have to think...

I?m not a programmer and I have no idea if I did this right, but since it worked fine, I used it in my navbar template so my members could access the program by clicking on the link.

<!-- Crossword -->
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbcross.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Crossword Puzzle</a></td>
<!-- /Crossword -->


My question, assuming you are not terribly annoyed that I have made a possible negative comment about your "hack," I fixed the width to 595 and now I would like to know how, if possible, to get rid of those nasty scroll bars so our members don?t see things that are unnecessary. I understand some stuff but couldn?t figure that out. Can you help?

Any chance we can get the Who's Online fixed? Right now it's showing 'Unknown Location' for people in vbcross.php.

Usually I do have something, but I must have missed that - I will add something today.

You should be able to edit the iframe by adding scrolling="no"

Btw, asking how to do something like this is no problem

I'll have to figure this one out.

[davidw]

I've updated to include Who's online support.

[deezelpope]

I'm probably asking what's obvious to everyone else, but to update, I just need to re-upload the php and re-import the xml, right?
