Yes, but I can link from inside a page.

I've added some buttons and I think I can see how to change the text, but how do I change the colour and add a link to my other board?

It should work like this......
<td align="center" class="titlebg"><a href="URL OF LINK GOES HERE">BOX #2 TITLE </td></tr></a>
[/size][/font]
Sorry, it was the wrong way round

I know I keep saying it but you are a star. I searched the help boards for that and turned up zilch.

Would you like that scrolling banner also showing on the forum, 'Working for the pensioners of today and tomorrow?'
If so, then here is the code...put it in your Main Headers if you just want it showing on the homepage. If you want it on every page, put it in the Global headers.
<center><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" bgcolor="bbbbbb">
<tr><td><b><MARQUEE>Working for the pensioners of today and tomorrow</MARQUEE>
</center></td></tr></b>
</table>
I would have diferent coloured text for the links to message threads eg General Board. Instead of blue, I would have grey, lilac or black to keep to the colour scheme....grey or lilac might be too light for your members though.
I would also move the ads to the top of the board, code here
<div id="wel"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var welcomeTable = document.getElementsByTagName("table").item(0);
document.getElementById("wel").appendChild(welcomeTable);
//-->
</script>
....and I would move the 'Welcome Guest. Please Login or Register.
Jan 25, 2009, 2:29pm' as it is showing to the right of the banner and making my 15" screen side scroll
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* move hey x... by elindir */
var pos="0"; // 1 for above buttons, 0 for below
var pclass='titlebg'; //Class of the Box
//Do not edit below
var table = document.getElementsByTagName("table");
var iPM = table[0].insertRow(2-pos).insertCell(0);
var td = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
var PM= td[2].innerHTML;
td[2].style.display="none";
iPM.innerHTML='<table class='+pclass+' width="100% cellspacing="1"><tr><td width="100%"><center>'+PM+'<\/center><\/td><\/tr><\/table>';
// -->
</script>[/size][/font]

thanks, I'd been trying to figure out how to do that.
Can you tell me how to get the scrolling text larger?

Post by Lynnrose on Jan 25, 2009 23:14:34 GMT
Here you go, try as I have done, if it is too large, change the font size to 4 or 3...
<center><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" bgcolor="bbbbbb">
<tr><td><b><MARQUEE><font size="5">Working for the pensioners of today and tomorrow</MARQUEE>
</center></td></tr></b></font>
</table>[/size][/font]

I also think the side table isn't sitting correctly. It looks too high and needs lowering...
It's up to you if you want to try this side table instead....delete other one first
Global Header...
<table width="92%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="15%" vAlign="top" align="center">
<br />
<br />
<table class="bordercolor" width="91%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td class="titlebg" align="center" width="100%">
<font size=2>Menu</font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="windowbg" align="center">
<font size=2>Top Box Content</font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="windowbg2" align="center">
<font size=2>Middle Box Content</font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="windowbg" align="center">
<font size=2>Bottom Box Content</font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td width="80%" align="center" vAlign="top">
Footer
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Don't forget to copy your global headers and footers and save in Notepad as a text file before you make changes, just incase you want to put it all back as it was ( there is now an option to back-up all headers and footers in Admin, but just for a quick change to a particular header/footer, I just use Notepad)[/size][/font]

Post by Angelstardust on Jan 26, 2009 17:48:36 GMT
I tried the option, but the main message boards went very narrow and I was not sure where to put the links to the pages in the other setup.
Was the footer intended to replace the global footer already in place?
|

Post by Lynnrose on Jan 26, 2009 18:09:03 GMT
Yes, the footer is to replace this one...
<!-- SIDE TABLES GLOBAL FOOTERS //-->
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
table = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
for(i = 0; i < table.length; i ++) {
with(table[i]) {
if(width == '92%') {
width = '700';
}}}
//-->
</script>
</td></tr></table>
<!-- END SIDE TABLES GLOBAL FOOTERS //-->
I would leave your code for the side menu if you prefer wider boards. It's probably because I am using a small monitor on my desktop that is showing a little side scroll[/size][/font]

I think it's looking quite good and am almost ready for testing, but the link buttons to the other site are not working.

Right Angel, I have re-done the menu bar code for you which now has six links to pages on your main website.
When your members click on them from the message boards, they will open in a new window.
Replace the old code in your Global Headers with this one..
<!--

Save your changes. Take a look at the menu bar....like it?
If so, then go back to headers and fill in the bits where you need to put some information in about each page, or leave it blank...or add a small picture...

It took a bit of fiddling round; I got two pics (one a red X) at one point, but I think I've cracked it.
Another round of thanks to you LR.

I'm proud of it, now all I need are testers before we go live. Well we are live in a way, but before I announce it to the press.

Where do you get your testers from?
When, the site is mentioned in the press, can we see a picture or a scan of the newspaper article please:)[/size][/font]

I've emailed the only two people on the committee who are able to use a computer.
It would be good to find a few more out there before I go properly public and do a press release.
I might go to the support forum and ask the people there to try it out, but they will only do the proboards side, I need it from all sides.

H! Angelstardust,
Post a link i will have a look for one ;D

Post by Lynnrose on Jan 28, 2009 15:34:52 GMT
Elvis, this is Angel's proboard site
wnpc.proboards.com/index.cgi
and the main site
www.greywolves.btik.com
There are links to the main pages from the forum to the main site and the other way around
I think she wants feeback on the overall look and how the links work for navigation. The forum colours are based on the main site's theme.[/size][/color]

Yes, LR, that's the kind of thing.
I will post a separate message asking for volunteers.

Thanks, Elvis. It is mainly down to LR patiently talking me through and even writing some of the codes.
