Wish List

[Darkorical]

ok Im building a site for someone and they have presented me wit hthis wish list can anyone help me out with it

IP numbers instead of nicks on the access list

Can we add a drop down for fonts like the colors

Invisible login?

if not, multiple login from same IP?

Member list is still cumbersome.

New posts in news or even a marquee across the top?

smilies and more smilies  on the quick reply page?

passwords are no longer displayed, can that be fixed?

Where?  The click (access) log shows by IP... The error log shows the IP... what access list do you mean?

Can we add a drop down for fonts like the colors

You sure can.  It's not hard, the only reason it wasn't done is that it's impossible to know what fonts the user will have.

Invisible login?

There's a mod for this.

if not, multiple login from same IP?

Already works.... why would you not be able to?

Member list is still cumbersome.

Like?  Why don't you explain a bit more....?

New posts in news or even a marquee across the top?

In the news?  Do you mean the news fader?  Funky.  Why not just turn on the recent posts display bar?
By the way, no respectable site uses marquees.  They are corny as all llamaness.

smilies and more smilies  on the quick reply page?

Go ask Big P.  He's the Smilie guy.... maybe he'll make it for you.

passwords are no longer displayed, can that be fixed?

NO! What kind of weak hackable board do you want to run?  The passwords are ONE WAY encrypted *specifically* so that you cannot see them.  Use the reminder/forgot password if you forget.

The news fader would be nice ... and the recent posts at the bottom is on

The access log IS by IP.... What do you mean?!

For the font list, open up Post.php and find the printPostBox function.
Inside it, put a select (anywhere you want) with a list of fonts.
Make the select have no name, but rather have an attribute... onchange="surroundText(\'[font=\' + this.options[this.selectedIndex].value + \']\', \'[/font]\');"

Again, making the newsfader do that is possible - but funky.  If you want someone to make that mod, well.... keep looking, I'm not going to do it .

OH MAN!!! I feel stupid...

she wants the access log to show user names and not IPs or both like yabb gold

as for the rest thanks for the info

[[Unknown]]

You'd have to change the way ClickLog works... and modify the table a bit probably....

Personally, I'm all for removing the click log.  She probably wants basically Gobalopper's Who is Where mod.

**feels a little guilty that she doesn't ask the questions herself** I am glad that Darkorical is helping me.

To explain a little... I am new to being an admin, my first experience was with the YaBB Gold.  There were a few mods that were available that I would like again with SE.

IP numbers instead of nicks on the access list
I mean that the IPs are showing and Gold offered the list by Screen Name unless the person was a guest, then it showed the IP only.

Invisible login
My preferance would be to allow users do multiple logins at the same time from the same IP (In other words, let them open two boards on their comp with different names on the board at the same time.) or have a pull down with their nicks linked.

Font Pulldown
If there is a certain font set chosen, wouldn't people that didn't have that font see it in a default font, or can that be set up.  Like in AIM, Many people don't see my font, but see arial instead.

New posts in news or even a marquee across the top?
I happen to like the marquee ...
...AND llamas  :p

the smilies issue is not that important, however there is another issue I have been dealing with regarding the Admin Add more Smilies... the index I create doesn't show the same order as the table that is displayed... in other words, I can't tell where the darn things are to put them in the order I want.  I actually renamed each file numerically and uploaded them again to get the table in the correct order.

Passwords
Call me difficult, but I liked that mod for the YaBB Gold.  Many people will ask for their password rather than wait for an email.

Since I won't be back much for a few days, I'll just thank Darkorical again, in advance,for all his help **whispers to the powers that be** give this man a raise.  Double his wage.  I know, I know... double nothing is still nothing.

[Darkorical]

open Subs.php, search for

Code Select Expand

function yybottom()
{

}
add after:

}
and somewhere in your forum template, add <yabb rencentTopics>

u can modify what u want to show by editing this line:

Code Select Expand

$stringToScroll[] = $recent_icon . " " . $recent_topic . " by " . $recent_poster . " " . $recent_new;

i tried to do this using some DHTML to stop the scrolling on mouseover, but didn't seem to work well, so this one is only using <marquee>
maybe i'll play around with it again if i have the time

[Darkorical]

well it works .. kinda
first I had to modify your tag to add to the template....
recent posts not rencent posts
