can I use this icon instead of the basic?

I'll have to edit the code so the icon will read from the NONcgi directory and not the ICQ site where that Image comes from.

ok..just read your edit

Ok open up public_topic_page.pl

Find:



Replace with:



I'm not sure about this though, just try it and upload that image into your NONCGI directory as icq.gif. Make sure you make a BACKUP of this file.

nope doesnt wrk

Whoa boy, XHTML alert...worst HTML coding i've seen since the first incarnation of UBB Code Hackers hideout.

hmmmm.... I think that was charles's work... heheh

Sorry. It was my first try at a hack, guess I'm not good enough to be coding any hacks. Please close/delete if you want I don't mind.

It's not that.. just clean up the html. I haven't even looked at it, but am interested when we can begin adding modifications to this site

Since we're in this extended beta, now's the time to learn

[edit: ok, checked the html.. it isn't bad, just doesn't follow xhtml constructs.

• Lowercase all tags - <A HREF= shoud be <a href=
• Close all tags -
  should be
• Quote all values - <IMG SRC='http://wwp.icq.com/scripts/online.dll?icq=$this_icq&img=9' border='0'> should be: <img src="http://wwp.icq.com/scripts/online.dll?icq=$this_icq&img=9" border="0" />

Finish the wordlets toward the bottom and you are pretty close to having a finished modification.

Thats better coding.
br needs to be br /
all lowercase letters need to be used.
etc..

Thanks for that AA and MM, I updated the file. If you spot any code typos or bugs please inform me and I will fix them ASAP.

Gonna add this one as well.

StealthAngel installed it on a Beta 1.4 and it worked, but I'll test it on my Beta 1.4 to see if it works just incase. Whats the problem, just won't appear?

I will completely rehack this back into my boards again and relay weather or not it worked.. If memory servers.. it didn't show up and I kept getting Compliation errors like.. error at line 127.. etc.. I'll try again and let you know.

EDIT::I think I found the prob, the XHTML updated code isn't working, I have removed the link till I figure out the problem, v1.0b will be available soon1

A newbie question: why do i need to close the "br" tag? In other words why should i write "
" and not "
" ???

You don't have to, but that's how it is in XHTML, a HTML standard.

thanks
