Zip file updated. It now fades in and out, and is still mozilla friendly. wink

Just reupload the fader.js and search the instructions for the addition in public_forum_summary.pl for the differences.

I just tried it and it still has issues in Opera. I'm going to keep using the one I have now in the iframe. Thanks for trying Brett, this function just doesn't like cross browser compatibility in UBB.

I just tried to re-install this mod after doing some other work and I'm having the same problem. I've re-installed it like three times and I still don't get anything to fade. I even used your new updated code. What changes do I have to make to get this to work properly?

Well, I get the box and all, but that's it. Funny thing is, no errors are generated. I can't explain it. Everything else works beautifully. Any ideas?

I uploaded the version from 6.4 and when that didn't work, I tried the one from 6.6... Is there a link to one that I should use? I'd like to re-import this hack and be done with it. wink

Thanks,

Man, I can't tell you how much this bugs me! I had this working before when it was one of the first mods I added. Now, I can't add it in at all. Everything comes up fine, but it doesn't fade. Nothing, nada, zip, ziltch. No text is written to the page. All I get is a box (as if I had no text in the CP).

I've checked the error_log file and nothing's there. I've looked over the code and found nothing that should be modified in leu of other mods being added.

I just can't figure it out. If anyone can help solve this mystery please help. FYI, I already have the following mods installed with complete success:

Wordlets
AIM
Authority
Backup
Calendar
Stats
MegaMod
LastTotalMembers
Smilies
QuickReply
Thumbnail

Good luck!

Absolutely.... I can't figure it out. Fader.js should be in the UBB folder, right? That's where I put it. I'm sure there's a real simple answer to this that I'm missing, but I just don't see it.

You are correct, it should be in the ubb (noncgi) directory.

I hate to give up on this one, but it's just not happening. I've gone over and over and over it. I can't seem to figure it out:

1) No error messages are being created.
2) No CGI errors.

It's just not working. It's almost as if a different hack that installed earlier is over-riding this hack.

If anyone has had this issue or knows how to get around it, please let me know because I'm at a loss.

Just uploaded the hack w/ Weird Al's mod and the 6.4 fader.js. The newsfader automatically started working on my BB. Thanks for the mod, but where is the edit for it located in the CP of 6.6? I cannot find where to turn it on/off and where to enter text.

Thanks

In the left bar, there should be a link saying "Newsfader" or something similar

I do not have anything on the left hand side of the control panel for the newsfader. I was confused in the install notes that it said the cp.cgi would be modified, but then the install mentioned cp2_lib.cgi. I'm assuming the cp.cgi gets it info from this, but if it does not then that is my problem since I never edited the cp.cgi in any way.

Any ideas...the fader looks great on the site, except for the lack of being able to modify.

cp.cgi isn't modified. cp2_lib.cgi is the file modified, and that's the file that would show the link on the left.

Make sure you did both of those steps correctly

That code is designed for NS4 and IE4, not web standards.

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:

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?!

Although I'm sure that Gizzy's reply is exactly what you wanted wink


There is no trojan horse in this mod. However, alerts don't go off for no reason (most of the time) so I reccomend you look into downloading Ad-aware (lavasoft.de if I remember correctly) and see it that finds anything.

If you're going to go the spyware approach, go Spybot Search and Destroy; it's free and has more spyware issues than most other programs.

Ha ha ha ha tipsy

I actually have the ad-aware program ... and will run it ...

Still, it bugs me that I try to install the fader hack--and I get that kind of a message ... I know very little about viruses/trojans, et al--other than they can really mess up a lot of systems ...

And I know this, until I can figure out WHY this mod is creating this trojan message, I cannot use the fader ... which will really, really, really bum me out ... it's one of my most effective ways of communicating with my members.

All-righty, cuz I'm a persistant person (it's da goat in me wink ), 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! tipsy )

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.

Well, the old fader script file created errors, so I went back to the newer one ... it's still behaving strangely, though ... any ideas why?

Okay. How does one fix the problem of the alternating sizes (i.e. 100 for the graphic/600 for the message ... then 600 for the graphic/100 for the message)?

I really would like to have this mod!

I thought I'd share my problem with this news fader, as it may present a clue to where the bugs lie.

I made the mods as described in the .zip in Brett's first post in this thread. I also used the fader.js in that zip.

I'm running UBB 6.6.1, and viewing it on IE6. Everything appears to be working except that the text doesn't show. The text is there, except that it is the same color as the background. The only text in the fader that is the color that it should be (ie. the only text I can see) is the numerical values for the number of posts and the number of topics.

I know the text is there-- if I run my mouse over it as if to highlight it, I can see it in the negative. Why is it doing that?!? I tried going into public_forum_summary.pl and including font color attributes everywhere and still no luck!?

Has anyone gotten this to work on 6.6.1?

Clue#2 - Its not reading carriage returns that separate the lines of text. In my CP where you type in the text to be displayed, I have carriage returns at the end of each line. These carriage returns aren't recognized, even if I leave two carriage returns between lines.
