Forum Display Enhancements - Super Display Suite [Animated Rainbow] vB4

NOTE: This is originally made by: AlchemyX to vB Version: 3.5.4
Original Topic: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...effects&page=6

I Just updated it to work with vB 4.0.8 or any other version.


First things... What is "Super Display Suite"?
Answer: This modification allows you to add DHTML and javascript text effects to various areas of your forums, for example, if you put it in the HTML Markup for your usergroups, then all of your users in that group, and any legend you may have, will display with these effects. You can also add them around different phrases and words in your template to make it even cooler.
This can be used ANYWHERE in your forum that allows HTML code! you can even, with a few minor changes, turn it into a BBCODE.

The modification currently has 3 animations.
1.) Shining - Like the car in Knight Rider (Where, oddly enough, the main character also plays the German coach in "Dodgeball") this effect runs over your text from right to left and vice versa, highlighting a letter at a time, making a kind of... neon lighting effect.; if you will.
2.) Glitter - Very similar to the Shining effect, except it chooses a random letter from the string to light up, then lights up for an amount of time based generally around the set speed for your span item, but it is slightly edited (randomly, as said before, by up to 10 integers in difference going positive, and another going negative... giving it a variable range of 50-70 if you put in 60 as the speed.) In the end, making a kind of "glittering" effect.
3.) A new class all it's own, the dynamically self retaining rainbow effect (I just HAD to say that) this little miracle splits your string up into individual characters, counts them, and then sets a percentile range of colors chosen specifically from a 16bit color code variance, and display them across your string, a perfect rainbow, animating from left to righ. This is probably not a good effect for small strings (8 or less characters) but it is wonderful in longer strings.


Install instructions:

- Upload all files of upload.zip to your root folder.
- In AdminCP, go to: Style Manager, in the style that you want, select "All Style Options" and click in "GO"
- In first line of header add:

<script language="javascript" src="header_color.js"></script>

- In the first line of footer add:

<script language="javascript" src="footer_color.js"></script>

You're done!

Using This Modification...
We're going to go over how to use this modification as a usergroup markup here, if you'd like to use it in your templates, just follow the basic idea herein.
Find your usergroup manager, and open up the userroup you would like to add the chosen effect to. (In usergroup markups, the following code needs to be on ONE line before you paste it, or else it will only paste the first line)
A note about speed: speed here is reversed, if you want it to be fast, set it to a low speed, if you want it to be slow, set it to a higher speed.

1.) To use the "Shine" animation: Being careful to replace
You can configure all color and speed if you want editing the s1.js.

add this is the first box of the usergroup html markup

<script language="javascript" src="s1.js"></script>

and this is the second box of the usergroup markup

</span>

It is not recomended that you remove the <b> tags here, as it would make the animation nearly pointless, because you would hardly be able to see it, if at all.

2.) To use the "Glitter" animation: Being careful to replace
You can configure the color if you want.

<b><i><font face="Palatino Linotype" color="#ffa500" style="background:url(pxg.gif) repeat-x">

and this is the second box of the usergroup markup

</font></i></b>

It is not recomended that you remove the <b> tags here, as it would make the animation nearly pointless, because you would hardly be able to see it, if at all.

3.) To use the "Rainbow" animation:
You can configure the color if you want.

User: test
Pass: test123

add this is the first box of the usergroup html markup

<font color="red"><b><script language="javascript" src="r1.js"></script>

and this is the second box of the usergroup markup

</span></b></font>

Note: You can enclose the code here with <b> or <strong> (bold) if you like to add a thickness to your rainbow. Just make sure you add the <b> before <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> in the opening markup; and the </b> after </span> in the closing markup.

That's it for now... REMEMBER, you can use these animations anywhere in your forum where HTML is allowed, in templates, in posts that allow html... anywhere :-)

Not working for me... Even when I add it through phpmyadmin.

Doesn't matter how much I add it through the usergroup, the HTML is still being limited.

[DarkSupremo]

So, i don't know... my HTML Markup here is basically unlimited, lol...

[T.Nguyen]

Damn, unlimited? when I installed your product it's still 100 characters limit. But I saw some forum can use this mod too. Like muonline.biz/fortress or muonline.biz/grudge

It is added to topic, product-increasetag.xml

I installed the product-increasetag.xml, and The code in the HTML Markup is still getting cut short.

EXAMPLE:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">var rainbowcount=(rainbowcount+1); document.write("<span id='rain"+rainbowcount+"'>"); </SCRIPT>

Gets cut down too:


<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">var rainbowcount=(rainbowcount+1); document.write("<span id='rain"+rai

VB 4.08

[Hornstar]

In your number 2 code you need to remove "); </SCRIPT>

Yeah, I got the same problem

@DarkSupremo: You should do something, man. Make these code shorter or whatever you can do

[x9751]

well idk about the MOD itself but you got me a way to increase my character limit for that. For that i click install

[DarkSupremo]

Please test this new product attached to this post and report me...

Nope, That didn't work.
I believe the problem is the some servers only allow a MAX of 255 characters, so no matter what its limited.

I have managed to get Shadow text to work using CSS

[denman75]
