Liahona_dup1 Member Registered: 12/05/02 Posts: 177 Loc: Scotland	Hi all<br /><br />Brilllllllllllllllll.<br /><br />Another good hack.... I love it.<br /><br />What's next <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Q1. I have added the extra Josh attachment to not allow users to switch OFF.<br /><br />Login as User - this shows the MyHome-edit page as only having the left/right switch (no OFF) which is great but the boxes have gone alltogether, login as admin and the boxes are there, have I missed something or do I need to switch on somewhere. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Q. I have 3 boxes - can I add another one/two....<br /><br /><br />THX _________________________ Thanks Liahona

JoshPet I type Like navaho Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 11330 Loc: Charlotte, NC	My mod allows specific user groups to turn it off. It allows admins and mods to turn it of.... then you need to edit the number of the group that is allowed to turn it off.<br /><br />I think my sample was usergroup -5- but you can set this number to whatever group number you want. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br /><br />You can add as many boxes as you want. Just put the HTML in the sidebar.tmpl file. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> _________________________ Joshua Pettit www.JoshuaPettit.com My abilities are for hire.

Liahona_dup1 Member Registered: 12/05/02 Posts: 177 Loc: Scotland	Hi Chuck <br /> <br />It's not the turning OFF that's the problem It's when logged in as a normal User the side bar does NOT display <br /> <br />Edit: I deleted \|\| ($Status == "Moderator") as I only wan't the Admin to have the OFF swich, but now ONLY the admin sees the sidebar? <br /> <br />I don't understand " usergroup -5- but " what does 5 mean? <br /> <br />THX Edited by Liahona (01/13/03 12:07 PM) _________________________ Thanks Liahona

JoshPet I type Like navaho Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 11330 Loc: Charlotte, NC	5 id group number 5. A custom group you may have added.<br /><br />Not sure why it wouldn't display when logged out. Did you turn the sidebar on in your theme file? _________________________ Joshua Pettit www.JoshuaPettit.com My abilities are for hire.

Liahona_dup1 Member Registered: 12/05/02 Posts: 177 Loc: Scotland	Hi <br /> <br />I may have found the answer. <br /> <br />If a user has already selected to have it off before I put the hack in will this make it stay off with no way to put it back on. <br /> <br />Edit: Just remembered it's the same when logged out. <br /> <br />Just a thought. <br /> <br />THX Edited by Liahona (01/13/03 01:40 PM) _________________________ Thanks Liahona

JustDave That 70's Guy Registered: 06/24/01 Posts: 4097	Your style sheets will determine what the font sizes are on the entire page including the sidebars which is part of the page. If your putting plain text into the sidebar table cell then the "lighttable" class is what controls that. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> _________________________ ~Dave ChattersOnline.com

Liahona_dup1 Member Registered: 12/05/02 Posts: 177 Loc: Scotland	Hi Dave<br /><br />Thanks, I was looking to globaly change all the stylesheets at once but I suppose I will have to do one at a time.<br /><br />Thanks _________________________ Thanks Liahona

@JustDave I have included your sidebar hack and it works great! After that I tried to display Pal boxes in the sidebar but I was partly unsuccessful. I can get it working (when the sidebar is set to display left) by adding this to sidebar.tmpl:

Code:

&lt;? //UBBTREMARK <br /> <br />$palspath = "D:/www.sat4all.tv/www/ubbthreads"; <br />  include "{$palspath}/pals/languagepal.php"; <br />  include "{$palspath}/pals/configpal.php"; <br />  include "{$palspath}/pals/tablewrappers.tmpl"; <br />  include "{$palspath}/pals/onlinepal.php"; <br />  include "{$palspath}/pals/hottopicpal.php"; <br />  include "{$palspath}/pals/shoutboxpal.php"; <br /> <br />echo &lt;&lt;&lt;UBBTPRINT <br /> <br />&lt;!-- START OF SIDEBAR CONTENT --&gt; <br /> <br />$tbopen <br />&lt;tr&gt; <br />&lt;td class="tdheader"&gt; <br /> <br />Testblok 1 <br /> <br />&lt;/td&gt; <br />&lt;/tr&gt; <br />&lt;tr&gt; <br />&lt;td class="lighttable"&gt; <br /> <br />Binnenkort valt&lt;br&gt; <br />Hier meer te zien!&lt;br&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br /> <br />&lt;/td&gt; <br />&lt;/tr&gt; <br />$tbclose <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br /> <br />$tbopen <br />&lt;tr&gt; <br />&lt;td class="tdheader"&gt; <br /> <br />Testblok 2 <br /> <br />&lt;/td&gt; <br />&lt;/tr&gt; <br />&lt;tr&gt; <br />&lt;td class="lighttable"&gt; <br /> <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br /> <br />&lt;/td&gt; <br />&lt;/tr&gt; <br />$tbclose <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br /> <br />$tbopen <br />&lt;tr&gt; <br />&lt;td class="tdheader"&gt; <br /> <br />Testblok 3 <br /> <br />&lt;/td&gt; <br />&lt;/tr&gt; <br />&lt;tr&gt; <br />&lt;td class="lighttable"&gt; <br /> <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br /> <br />&lt;/td&gt; <br />&lt;/tr&gt; <br />$tbclose <br />&lt;br /&gt; <br /> <br /> <br />&lt;!-- END OF SIDEBAR CONTENT --&gt; <br /> <br /> <br />UBBTPRINT; <br />/* UBBTREMARK */ ?&gt;

But if I set the sidebar to display on the right (in my home) the page starts reloading like crazy and IE crashes! Ron.

JoshPet I type Like navaho Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 11330 Loc: Charlotte, NC	This is what I had to play with before I posted instructions.<br /><br />See if this helps....<br /><br />In ubbt.inc.php look for the send_footer function<br /><br />Add $dbh into the global call line....<br />see if that works. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> _________________________ Joshua Pettit www.JoshuaPettit.com My abilities are for hire.

JustDave That 70's Guy Registered: 06/24/01 Posts: 4097	Using the pals this way will bypass keeping private information from being seen by those that do not have access to it. Also, I believe that the "online" section may not know to keep invisible users from being seen by all. There is also a possibility of cross contanimating the .threads variables. A long time back I used to have a script called leftcolumnpal.php which created a left hand column using the pals. I ran into problems with it because it would contanimate the .threads variables that were in use but I worked on it and got it all running smoothly. From that point I believe I have kept the variables seperated but I have never checked since because that script is no longer in the package so it could be a problem.<br /><br /><br />Please keep these things in mind and let me know how it goes. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> _________________________ ~Dave ChattersOnline.com

Sat4all Member Registered: 04/30/02 Posts: 151 Loc: The Netherlands	@JoshPet and JustDave<br /><br />Thanks for your help, but I'm afraid I need a little more feedback in the form of an example.<br />I am really just a beginner when it comes to PHP and I don't understand most of it. <br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Ron _________________________ Those who fail to read ask many questions:-)

I can't do it tonight but perhaps Sunday/Monday night. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I've got a full plate right now and can't hardly get it cleared off as it is... lol <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> _________________________ ~Dave ChattersOnline.com
