mishter Newbie Registered: 10/08/07 Posts: 10	This is probably a simple newbie question, but how can I make a custom island in the middle row for UBB.Threads? I want to place a chart, or graphic, in the middle between a couple of category islands, but cannot seem to figure out how.

mishter Newbie Registered: 10/08/07 Posts: 10	Gizmo, Can't seem to make this work, but I certainly can be doing something wrong. Couple of questions: 1. Does this work for v7.2.2 of UBB.Threads? 2. What is "WOL"? Thx!

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5134 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	As SD said, it will work with any version of threads (as the code you tae from the external link will be from your version) and WOL is Who's Online. _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

I followed the example that Gizmo gave me, no luck. I got the external use paths from the portal layout, and put them in the crfm.tpl file after the "{if $introtitle}" line, but don't see the Who's Online (just trying this for an example.

Here's an excerpt (the first 30 lines or so) of the cfrm.tpl file with the additional code:

Code:

{* Script Version 7.2.2 *}


{if $introtitle}
{$tbopen}
<tr>
<td class="tdheader">
{$introtitle}
<?php
if (!defined('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM')) define('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM',1);
$style_side="";$tbopen="";$tbclose="";
echo "<table width=\"100%\">";
include("/home/content/p/e/n/pennyprofilers/html/forum/languages/english/portal_islands.php");
include("/home/content/p/e/n/pennyprofilers/html/forum/languages/english/generic.php");
include("/home/content/p/e/n/pennyprofilers/html/forum/cache/online_now.php");
echo "</table>";
?> 
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt-1">
{$introbody}
</td>
</tr>
{$tbclose}
{/if}

{section name="cats" loop=$catrow}
{$tbopen}
<thead>

What am I doing incorrectly?

Thanks, makes sense. However, I tried this and it didn't seem to change anything, i.e., the WoL didn't appear at the top of the forum list as I would expect. Here's the current code:

Code:

{* Script Version 7.2.2 *}


{if $introtitle}
{php}
if (!defined('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM')) define('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM',1);
$style_side="";$tbopen="";$tbclose="";
echo "<table width=\"100%\">";
include("/home/content/p/e/n/pennyprofilers/html/forum/languages/english/portal_islands.php");
include("/home/content/p/e/n/pennyprofilers/html/forum/languages/english/generic.php");
include("/home/content/p/e/n/pennyprofilers/html/forum/cache/online_now.php");
echo "</table>";
{/php}
{$tbopen}
<tr>
<td class="tdheader">
{$introtitle}
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt-1">
{$introbody}
</td>
</tr>
{$tbclose}
{/if}

{section name="cats" loop=$catrow}
{$tbopen}

Anything else I'm missing?

Move it to this -

Code:

{* Script Version 7.2.2 *}


{if $introtitle}
{$tbopen}
<tr>
<td class="tdheader">
{$introtitle}
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt-1">
{$introbody}
</td>
</tr>
{$tbclose}
{/if}

{php}
if (!defined('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM')) define('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM',1);
$style_side="";$tbopen="";$tbclose="";
echo "<table width=\"100%\">";
include("/home/content/p/e/n/pennyprofilers/html/forum/languages/english/portal_islands.php");
include("/home/content/p/e/n/pennyprofilers/html/forum/languages/english/generic.php");
include("/home/content/p/e/n/pennyprofilers/html/forum/cache/online_now.php");
echo "</table>";
{/php}

{section name="cats" loop=$catrow}
{$tbopen}

That's how mine works.

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5134 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	Sorry for not getting around to posting; basically what was happening was that you where saying for the code to only apply when the intro was enabled.
