do you have file text version for this also?

Sweet! Thank you so much, Allen! You're the best (no matter what Charles says ).

I do have one question: how can I make the field a little taller? I have the ability to control its width, but not its height.

Thanks!

WASSUP!

Look for --> FDRboxHgt = 43; to set the overall height of the News Fader cell.

Look for --> FDRlinHgt = "10pt"; to set the inner cell which affects the text display. I always set it at least 1pt higher than my News Fader text.

I hope this helped!

THANKS!

You didn't use the code I posted in one of the last pages, so I don't think it will show smilies correctly.
Try to use:[code][/code]

Is this the same as the one posted in one of the 6.1 forums? Or is there something new?

Undefined subroutine &main::NewsFaderSettings called at cp.cgi line 511.



Edit: I think I know what the problem is. I edited the files by hand because I have never has much success with multihack, but I cannot extract the other files from it. Help?

Edit: NM I figured it out

Humm LK Read This

LK. Where would that code go for the smilies. I just ran into that problem. thanks in advance.

bizkit73 it is in ubb_forum_summary.cgi
after you install it

find**

It works fine in my board

I'll look at it again, just when I updated to that sub I got quite a few errors with the syntax...

thank you clankiller. it is working like a charm now.

I only see one small flaw. It displays your current topic and reply totals, but only counts the ones in the forums in the first category.

Looks very sweet and it is working fine
Many tnx for your efforts Allen!

Question 1: I changed the FDRboxHgt = 43; to value 20, which results in the text to be displayed in the vertical center of the box.
I like to make the vertical size of the display smaller so it will only be 2 lines in height.
Sadly I fail to do this.

Did I change the wrong values?

Thanks in advance!

My News Fader table doesn't pops up
Settings are ok, I guess..

is it possible to make it so the news fader is above the forum,topics,posts,last post,moderator line?

Simkin, "43" is also in:[code][/code]Change it to "20" It worked fine in my board
