Modding something in a mod

« on: June 16, 2003, 06:30:29 PM »

Hi guys,
Pardon me if this is not the right forum to post this in. I though maybe "Other help" but I'm asking about where to change something in my forum after installing the SuperMod, so this seemed the most logical choice of places to post.

1. I'd like to change the colour of the "0 are new" part of the you have messages.. right now it's bright red, which clashes with my forum (and hurts lol). The "browsing this board" notice and the "you must enter your user name"warning (from the profile) are also that red colour... which file do I edit to change the colour? (I already checked my forum template... if it's in there, then I'd need to know what line to add).

Forum is at www.Wherethegamesare.com
login: test
password: testing

2. one of my users is asking for a "auto refresh". I know I can't put this in the forum template or I'll have people complaining that the page refreshed while they were typing a message lol. the user only wants the main board index to refresh now and then. Any hints?

Thanks a lot folks!!
Ruth

Alright, I believe the link colors are in your forum template, and default they're generally by the top, I believe. They'll be called A:link, A:visited, and A:hover. As for the main page refresh, you'd have to put something like this in your index:

Code Select

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="10;url=http://www.youraddresshere.com" > Where the number '10' is the number of seconds until a refresh. I'd recommend setting it pretty high, but it's up to you.

Hi Metho, thanks!
The link colours though is not what I need to edit. The entire link isn't one colour (the link colour is white, but the one part of it "0 are new" is red) it has something to do with SuperMod, so I'm hoping I'll be told which files to edit.

So add that one line into my index.php file?

Thanks!!

Putting that one line of code in, that won't make all the pages refresh will it? I only one the board index to refresh, I would hate for someone typing a message to have it refresh on them

Yeah, when I said index, I meant boardindex. Sorry for the confusion.

try to:
1. add this somewhere in BoardIndex.php, preferably: after global statement:

Code Select

global $yyrefresh;
$yyrefresh = '<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="10;url=http://www.youraddresshere.com" />';

2. add $yyrefresh at the global statement of template_header() and footer() in Subs.php
3. add <yabb refresh> inside <head> tag in template.php

another way to do this is put in template.php:

Code Select

<head><?php
global $action, $board, $threadid;
if  ($action == '' && $board == '' && $threadid == '')
    echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="10;url=http://www.youraddresshere.com" />';
?>

for the red text check in Subs.php

for these lines to see if there is any thing like <font color=\"FF0000\">$munred $isare $txt</font> around that area, this will be in the template_header() function.

Code Select


      if ($mnum == '1')
         $yyim = "$txt[152] <a href=\"$cgi;action=im\">$mnum $txt[471]</a>$txt[newmessages4] $munred $isare $txt[newmessages2].";
      else
         $yyim = "$txt[152] <a href=\"$cgi;action=im\">$mnum $txt[153]</a>$txt[newmessages4] $munred $isare $txt[newmessages2].";

if not look in english.lng and see what they got for these
$txt['newmessages0'] = 'is';
$txt['newmessages1'] = 'are';
$txt['newmessages2'] = 'new';
$txt['newmessages3'] = 'New';
$txt['newmessages4'] = ',';

Thanks Aquilo! (love your smilies by the way

)

Now I have another question... I looked in the first few replies to the SuperMod thread, but I didn't see it.

What's "Highlight"? It shows up in current posts beside the "Split" button.

I tried clicking on it, nothing seemed to change. $:-\$

For the forum refresh, this is the code I use. I added it to the forum template right before this code

Code Select

<BODY text=#ffffff bottomMargin=0 bgColor=#14212e leftMargin=0 topMargin=0 
rightMargin=0 MARGINHEIGHT="0" MARGINWIDTH="0">

add:

Code Select

<?
global $action;
global $board;
   if ($action == "" && $board == "")
     print " <meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"90; url=$scripturl?action=$action\">\n";
   if ($action == "expandcat" || $action == "collapsecat" )
     print " <meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"90; url=$scripturl?action=$action\">\n";
?>

This has worked well for me. Then it only refreshes the index page, even if they have expanded or collapsed a category.

probably doesnt work because you dont have a highlight css class

Highlight is a thing you can do to make your post stand out. It highlights all the text with a bright background color.
