lol Poor Empire I'm here to bug ya knowledge again dude

I've decided that the only way I am going to be able to fix up my WhoseOnline/PrivateMessaging arrangement would be to put them both in a seperate table like C_P has done on his CyberPoetry site.

I was wondering if you could help me here ????

This is the code I have ::::

$pmlink = qq(<td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="center" align="center" width="20">$pmimg</td>
<TD valign=top $AltColumnColor1><FONT SIZE="$TextSize" FACE="$FontFace"><B><A HREF="$cgi_url/$viewprivate">Inbox</A></B></FONT>

<FONT SIZE="$FDTextSize" FACE="$FontFace">$user - $pmdesc</FONT></TD>
</TD> );

if ($prefs{'status'} eq "off") {
$pmlink = qq(<td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="center" align="center" width="20"><IMG SRC="$NonCGIURL/pmimages/pmdead.gif" alt=""></td>
<TD valign=top $AltColumnColor1><FONT SIZE="$TextSize" FACE="$FontFace"><B><A HREF="$cgi_url/$privateprefs">Preferences</A></B></FONT>

<FONT SIZE="$FDTextSize" FACE="$FontFace">Private messages are currenly disabled.</FONT></TD>
</TD> );
}

unless ($ShowMods eq 'no') { # display mod column unless set to No in CP
$modcolumn = qq(
<td valign=bottom>
<FONT SIZE="1" FACE="$FontFace" COLOR="$TableStripTextColor"><B>Moderator</B></FONT>
</td></tr>
);# end qq
}

if ($online_message eq "summary") {
$OnlineMsg = $OnlineUserMsg;
} elsif ($online_message eq "list") {
$OnlineMsg = $OnlineUsers;
}
if (lc($ForumTotalOption) eq "both") {
$colspan = 5;
$colspan1 = 6;
} else {
$colspan = 4;
$colspan1 = 5;
}
$onlinelink = qq(<TD bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="center" align="center" width="20"><img src="$NonCGIURL/online.gif" alt=""></td>
<TD valign=top $AltColumnColor1><FONT SIZE="$TextSize" FACE="$FontFace"><B><A HREF="$CGIURL/online.cgi">Currently Browsing the Boards</A></B> ($totalcount)</FONT>

<FONT SIZE="$FDTextSize" FACE="$FontFace">$OnlineMsg</FONT></TD>
</TD> );
if ($online_message ne "none") {
$onlinetable = qq(<tr><td colspan=5 $CategoryStripColor><FONT SIZE="$TextSize" FACE="$FontFace" color="$CategoryStripTextColor"><B>Online Users</B></FONT></td></tr>
<TR>
$onlinelink
</TR> );
}

okra dokra, I'll get on that likesay....maybe now. this damn file is taking forever to download.

and hey catboy, donnea worry about age. And if you want a good HTML resource [besides me ], try HTML 4: For the world wide web bu Elizabeth Castro (Visual Quickstart Guide, Peach Pit Press). It's about $20.

hmmm...why did I think this would be hard/time-consuming? It's actually pretty simple (not to put you down or anything).

Just find the table that contains the PM and Online users info and CUT and PASTE it below the main table. Then, be sure to change it's width to the width of everything else, which is probably the variable $TableWidth or something like that.

You don't need to change $pmlink or any of those, but be sure to get rid of the <tr> and <td>'s surrounding the table you just moved.

Hey Empire,

Mate I'm gonna go get that book when I have chance - lol I must need it because I don't understand what ya last wrote lol

I understand that it would have taken quite a while for you to have wrote it all up, and after all the help you've given me it's cool

No problems. It doesn't look that bad, and maybe when I learn HTML a bit better I'll be able to fix it myself

Thanks,

TotalNewbie
