Here is the News Fader (in Multihack form) for 6.3.1. Click here to download and let me know if you have any problems

I have this same problem. Does anyone know how to correct it?

I have this same problem. Does anyone know how to correct it?<hr /></blockquote>Me too! I want mine to appear where Netwerkin's is. HELP!

The hack works great on our V6.3.1.1 UBB except for this.......

Edit: Grab this text file and good luck. I promise nothing but it only modifies one file and this is exactly how I did it at Netwerkin.

Click me .

Thanks for posting that but unfortunately we don't use the JCTemplates.

Anyone have a fix for standard templates?

Your forum look at Netwerkin is amazing!

Try placing the newsfader code right after this

Just installed this hack and while it works fine and dandy, I'm having a couple of aesthetic problems.

You can see it on our boards, here .

Issue #1) I realize that you can set the width of the news fader. We have our boards width set to 660 in the control panel, yet if I set the width of the news fader to be anything above about 530, it makes the width of our boards wider. However, if I made it less than about 550, our text messages break onto the next line. Any ideas on why this is the case? Is it because of the layout I set up for the boards in the header and footer? (It's all in a larger table)

Issue #2) There's extra space underneath the fading headlines. It looks like a paragraph break, but I didn't see one in the source code anywhere. I also thought fade.gif being 640x50 might be part of the problem, so I set it to a shorter and narrower size, but that didn't do anything either. What accounts for this extra space?

I'm stumped on this one, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Edited to add that I've played around with a couple things, and realize that when it starts off, the cell is one line high, but as soon as it shows my boards statistics, it goes to the height with the extra spacing. In case that helps.

Well at this point in time, I've solved issue #1 in my above post, but not #2. Anyone have any idea why there's extra space under our fader messages, in that same cell? Even setting the fader.gif height to 25px (instead of 50px) didn't help. And the extra height is driving up looney. Hope someone has an idea! Thanks guys!

And look for height="49" (that's the default box height) change that "49" to like 30 or something. My boards New Fader is set to 20 or 25 i think, look -->( Planethex UBB Forums )

I think that's what you are asking - yes?

Hope I helped.

Thanks Cuzz. Unfortunately, I tried that and it didn't seem to help. I've currently got height="20" in that part of public_forum_summary.pl, and even went down to 0px. All that seemed to do was change the height that the little 'jump' in the height directly before the messages appear. I even tried uninstalling it completely and doing it over from scratch. Still the same.

Edited to add that I scrapped it and jiggered my own solution which works pretty well for us.

me three

Will some one make a multihack file for 6.3.1.2 Plz Just can not seem to get it to work right with the jc's... THANKS!!!

I don't use JC, but here is my working mhp that I have on 6.3.1.2
http://ubbhacks.turboford.org/newsfader6312.mhp

No amount of tinkering with the HEIGHT settings seem to change the table height for me, and in the CP, it only shows a blank line where I figure it should say "News Fader"...

instead of just before this

<hr /></blockquote>When I tried using this code mod, The NewsFader did not show up for me... Any other thoughts?

Does this hack work with the new 6.4 version?

I'll update the hack soon which should work with 6.4 and fix a lot of the problems you're all having..

Give me a few weeks..

cool thanks

Im on like the 3rd step of this hack, and in the cp_common.pl file it says to find this:
document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_mod&r=$ran> - Moderator Settings</option>");

HOWEVER, that line is not in my cp_common.pl file.. Im using UBB 6.3.1. Thanks!!!!
