[RELEASE vb2B2] NewsFader 2.0

[TwiZteR]

k tnx, works now..told u it could be a stupid qst ..anyways..is there any way to insert links there?, if I tried with html, it stopped working, if I tried with vbb code, it showed as text

[PeF]

fader_news template

If you wanna link it should look like this (an example of fader_news template with custom values):

prefix="$bburl/"; 

arNews = [
"Visit Yahoo,","http://www.yahoo.com",
"What's new on Blizzard","http://www.blizzard.com",
"Last line","http://www.google.com"
]

Be sure you didn't add comma at the end of the last line. This is very important. With the comma at the end News Fader won't work correctly.
Let's take a look at the values we have in our example:

"Visit Yahoo,","http://www.yahoo.com",

Visit Yahoo - a text which will be displayed when "fading". If this text is followed by hyperlink it'll the be changed to link so that the link will look like this:
Visit Yahoo

I hope I made it clear.

Last word: As soon as the hack(s) is(are) rewritten other versions than vBulletin 2.0 Final won't be supported.

cleared it all up, tnx alot

[SharkHead]

is it released to v2 already?

I just installed this hack. I love it, but I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to add Birthdays to it.

Also in the setup template, could you explain what the settings are, and what they do.

[Funkie]

@ dakota just put $birthdaybits somewhere in the fader_news template

[Dakota]

ok well I tryed that and I added this to the fader_news template

"Todays Birthdays:","",
"$birthdaybits",""

But now it doesn't load.

Edit: btw I am using RC3

Might want to upgrade to 2.0.1. RC3 will not be supported or written for.

[Dakota]

Well currently I cannot upgrade. I do not know the member info for my forum. I am not the one who owns the license, and I haven't been able to contact my host in a while.

[Funkie]

I'm running v2.01 final so I cant test this for you as news fader is not yet working for final but this should work


"Todays Birthdays: $birthdaybits","",

[SS2 Dan]

Sweet! I can't wait to try the hack

[First-Man]

When does it work with the final?

[Hooper]

ALL:

I would advise that everyone wait for the re-write for 2.0 final. There is a problem with the hack working with some of the jscripting. If you install this, your pop up PM's will not work for example. Hopefully Pef will give us an update to where this is at.

Cheers all,
Hooper

In the new version you should also have an option to have the text scroll across it.
