Okay, after playing around with Brett's info--and not getting the fader to appear, I read through th rest of the forum and saw Ian Spencer's revisions. So I gave that a shot. The fader appears! YAY! Only there seems to be an *issue* ... Here's what I keep getting: quote: A Trojan Has Been Detected and Cleaned!
The file C:WINDOWSLOCAL SETTINGSTEMPORARY INTERNET FILESCONTENT.IE52TC7UXU5ULTIMATEBB[21].HTM was infected by the Univ.script/99 trojan and has been deleted to the complete the clean process This is a McAfee VirusScan message. It comes up every time I post a new topic, and then go to the front page to see the "fader" What on earth is going on, and how do I stop it?!

All-righty, cuz I'm a persistant person (it's da goat in me  ), I rehacked the files using Brett's directions, and I'm pleased to say that there is no trojan alert coming up any more. That's the "good news." The bad news is that my fader is acting very strangely. I have a graphic on the left. The news appears on the right (I know, duh!  ) Let's say it's 100 pixels wide for the graphic area (which is a bit much) and 600 for the text area. What is happening now is that it keeps flipping back and forth. One moment, the graphic area is 100 pixels; the next, it's 600. Is this making sense? I'm going to try it using the old script ... and cross my fingers and hope it works ... but if not, this is the *issue* I'm having with this mod.

smartalecs It wasn't really helpful to install it on my testboard to see it working great on mozilla 1.6 and IE6. : Nate: Could i have you replace (in public_forum_summary.pl) 'var tcolor = "$vars_style{CategoryStripColor}";' to 'var tcolor = "$vars_style{CategoryStripTextColor}";' ? You'll also have to clear the forum summary cache. When i tested it, i was using the default colors. So i may need to create a new variable to insert the faded color too... Also, line returns in the news fader text indicate individual messages. The only way to have an actual line return is too put the tag in.

I understand that a line return separates the individual messages. For some reason last night, a line return was not separating individual messages. Anyhow, I made the adjustment to public_forum_summary.pl, double-checked and reuploaded all the hacked files to make sure everything was done right. Checked permissions, went into CP, cleared the forum summary cache, closed my browser and opened a fresh browser window, and went to my test board. The text is now visible! The fader is very close to working perfectly, but I see two more abnormalities-- First, once the fader begins to display the news fader text, its adding a blank line message between my individual messages. In other words, if my CP news fader text reads: quote:</font><hr />This is a test Of the emergency broadcast system<hr /></blockquote>then my fader does this:
<blockquote><font class="small">quote: [qb]This is a test ---pause for a moment--- (blank line with no words) ---pause for a moment--- Of the emergency broadcast system ---pause for a moment--- (blank line with no words) ---pause for a moment---[/qb] The second abnormality that I noticed, which is fairly insignificant, is that while the words, "Total Posts" and "Total Topics" fade out, the actual values adjacent them do not fade out, but rather stick around until the words fade out and then disappear. Like I said, this is minor but I figured I'd mention it anyhow.

As a work-around, I simply elected to reduce the event time to 1 second, and chose not to leave the "greeting" field blank in the CP->News Fader Additionally, if the 1 second setting is still too ong for you (actually about 2 seconds), you can always go into the code in public_forum_summary.pl and changed this code: <script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var delay = parseInt('$vars_news_fader{nfspan}') * 1000;Change 1000 to what you need to make it right... 1000 milliseconds is default... If ou cut it down to 500, then you'll be right at one second total... Also, if I jump in here: <td width="100%" height="49" align="$vars_news_fader{nfalign}">and change the "height" value to 32, I get exactly two lines of text without the cell visibly "growing".... This is especially useful when folks pop up a "less than maximized" window (width), and causes even the shorter headlines to double up. Also... The var tcolor = "$vars_style{CategoryStripColor}";still hasn't been changed to: var tcolor = "$vars_style{CategoryStripTextColor}";yet in the download file in the first post. I think that's all I had to change. I like this hack... Here's my board if you want to see it: TurboFord.org PS - I am using the fader.js in Brett's zip, and it seems to be working fine.

Instead of having this display in the public-forums_summary would it be possible to have it display in each physical forum instead?
