Ok 2.1 is out, I recommend that people upgrade to this version from 2.0. It does fix a minor, but annoying bug.

* Fixed bug in the display of the fader. Javascript code was being duplicated throughout the Main Forums page causing long page loads for some.

There are update instructions for those that are updating from 2.0. For those that have versions older than 2.0, you will just want to re-install the whole hack from the new readme file, there have been many changes since those older versions.

Problem. http://www.h-realms.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

Hmmm...looks like you didn't turn it on MM. Go into the News Fader Settings and turn the News Fader on by clicking the radio button. I turn it off by default so you can get it all set up first.

Its on now. Now look!

slurpee still didnt work!

no go.

Hey guys if you ICQ, drop me an email and I'll give you my username to see if we can get this real quick. It's just a tables issue.

i found the problem
you hafta add..
$newslinefader
into the html part!

even after doing so it give me error's!

Jigga - I found the error. The chunk of code above, change all occurrences there of $Colspan to the number "6". That will fix the problem. If you want the headlines centered, look for all the code in hack that says "left" and just make it "center". I like my news fader aligned left so that's why it is that way.

Directions fixed.

n/m i got it to work now!~

very nice work there
but how do i get the
forum/topics/post/last post/moderators bar
underneath the fader instead of on top

Minor typo in the colspan portion of the instructions, Slurp. Otherwise, this now works perfectly!

Replace:

if ($vars_news_fader{nfon} eq "ON") {
$newslinefader= qq~<TR bgcolor="$vars_style{CategoryStripColor}"><TD colspan="6">
<FONT SIZE="$vars_style{TextSize}" FACE="$vars_style{FontFace}" color="$vars_style{CategoryStripTextColor}"><B>$vars_news_fader{nftitle}</B></FONT>
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="$6" bgcolor=$vars_style{AltColumnColor1} align=center>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align="center" width="$vars_style{TableWidth}">
<tr>
<td colspan="$6" bgcolor=$vars_style{AltColumnColor1} align=center valign=top width=100% height=43><div id="elFader" style="position:relative;visibility:hidden;width:550"><div align="center"><font face="$vars_style{FontFace}" size="$vars_style{TextSize}">News Fader for DHTML Browser.</font></div></div>
</td>

With:

if ($vars_news_fader{nfon} eq "ON") {
$newslinefader= qq~<TR bgcolor="$vars_style{CategoryStripColor}"><TD colspan="6">
<FONT SIZE="$vars_style{TextSize}" FACE="$vars_style{FontFace}" color="$vars_style{CategoryStripTextColor}"><B>$vars_news_fader{nftitle}</B></FONT>
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="6" bgcolor=$vars_style{AltColumnColor1} align=center>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align="center" width="$vars_style{TableWidth}">
<tr>
<td colspan="6" bgcolor=$vars_style{AltColumnColor1} align=center valign=top width=100% height=43><div id="elFader" style="position:relative;visibility:hidden;width:550"><div align="center"><font face="$vars_style{FontFace}" size="$vars_style{TextSize}">News Fader for DHTML Browser.</font></div></div>
</td>

Damn typos!! Ok fixed and updated zip file. Thanks Alien.

Grr, now I get to throw the one I worked on out

No, thank YOU!

Least I could do, Slurp. I'm loving all the new stuff, and trying to post the bug reports as quickly as I can, so everyone can get all this new stuff up as painlessly as possible!

Now, I'm looking forward to the "move hack".

...and will it be compatible with the newbie hack?

Orb, I think moving the $newslinefader from here

} # end mods column

$Top .= "</tr>$newslinefader";

to here will do the job

# this is the table displayed on regular forum pages
my $Top = qq~
$newslinefader

thanks very much did the job nicely
this is a great hack

The move hack is almost done alien, and so far it seems to be compatible with the newbie hack as I have it running on my board.

Very Nice work Slurpee. I can not wait till the move hack.
