Yes, cp_common.pl changed in 6.3.1 onwards..

Instead, find this:

For those of you only wanting 1 line of text at a time, I just found a great fix...

Open: public_forum_summary.pl

Look for FDRboxHgt = 43; -- set number lower (I'm using 15)

Look for height="49" -- again, I'm using 15.

I know the 2nd line has been mentioned previously, but I have not seen where the first has been... I had immediately changed the 2nd line when I installed the hack, but untill I also reduced the 1st number, nothing changed.


* Now, if I can just figure out how in the hell the get the NewsFader on top of the box that says FORUM - TOPICS - POSTS - Etc... I'll be ecstatic! [ ]

Also, any update on getting the blank line in the CP say News fader..?

Did you upload your wordlets file?

I've had WORDLETS installed for quite awhile now, but if there is a specifc segment of code that I should look for, would it be possible to have somebody post it for me..?

After:
And in your vars_wordlets_mods you should have:

FANTASTIC

It worked like a champ, and should be noted for others with the same problem...

I have read through this topic, and found a few questions the same as mine, but no answer. My question is:
When I install this hack, I find that the newsfader appears below the "Forum Name" "Moderator" etc.. Can someone please help me? Thanks!

Strange, I installed this and it worked first time for me in 6.3. I noted the above with reference to the cell size, that was my only bug about it, so I'll try and adjust it with that.

After:
That SHOULD place it just above the mentioned fields.

when i copy that it doesn't copy spaces, so it is all drawn out horizotnally when i paste it..I am trying to just copy and paste it to replace the old coding..Please help!

Didn't work..hmmmm

I'll throw my 6.4 news fader in the 6.4 section, take the code from that.

nm, found the answer

Here's a fix for JC Templates, it will stick the fader above the Forum/Topic/Post/Moderators etc.

This fix is assuming you have not hacked the file yet.

I have a new and interesting question that pertains to the spacing in this hack...

I just purchased a new 19" monitor (Sony Multiscan G410), and have obviously increased my screen res. I went from 17" @ 800x600 to the new 19" set at 1024 x 768, but now there is such a large difference in the centering offset of the NewsFader script. I have adjusted the NewsFader CP to reflect 900 pixel width, but now am receiving complaints from the guys with the smaller monitors.

What I would like to do, is have it set as a percentage (95%) to match the characteristics of the rest of the board, to allow for the "float" for various screen resolutions.

I'm still using 6.3.1.2, and need to know if this is a possibility..?

Any solutions yet..?

Tim, I used both 800x600 and 1024x768 and your table looks perfect on both settings.
I am probably one of the "guys with smaller monitors"?
