Is that Prosilver or Subsilver2 installation?
How do I change the code so that it displays only their regions, the messages that I want to show?

[cisco007]

did he give you permission to post it here? boardtalk.net is a member here! if so I will let him answer you when they come by!

[Oliver]

There is link in his site

[cisco007]

yeah, but if you put a link to his site, you shouldn't have posted the edits for that mod, unless you had permission!

[boardtalk.net]

That mod is by BlacksunTR and is a mod in development. I only changed it very, very slightly for my database. This is the topic: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=2087645

Boardtalk.net is mostly a place where i keep notes on mods i'm using, where i've found them etc. Humm, I must go through the topics to make sure this is made clearer. I hope I haven't done anything wrong by doing that.

Thanks guys,

How do I change the code so that it displays only their regions, the messages that I want to show?

First, can you change in the first post;
Open forum/styles/your_template/template/overall_header.html
Find:

Code: Select all

      var fwidth='80px'; //set scroller width
      var fheight='30px'; //set scroller height

Replace the '80px' with

Code: Select all

'100%'

Its Prosilver

If you wish to select only specific forums from your board to display;

1. Find out the required forum id number or numbers you wish to display.
For example on this forum we will use,
Stokers Site Announcement is 14 - posts.forum_id=14
and Missing Stuff is 15 - posts.forum_id=15
On the forum index, place your mouse over the forum and in Firefox it will be displayed on the bottom left of the browser.

2. Open forum/include/functions.php
Find:

Code: Select all

      $query1= $db->sql_query("SELECT posts.post_id, posts.topic_id, posts.poster_id, posts.post_time, posts.post_subject, users.username, users.user_avatar_type
               FROM posts LEFT JOIN users ON posts.poster_id = users.user_id
               ORDER BY posts.post_id DESC LIMIT 10");

Replace with:

Code: Select all

     $query1= $db->sql_query("SELECT posts.post_id, posts.topic_id, posts.poster_id, posts.post_time, posts.post_subject,  users.username, users.user_colour
                       FROM posts LEFT JOIN users ON posts.poster_id = users.user_id
                       WHERE posts.forum_id=14 or posts.forum_id=15
                       ORDER BY posts.post_id DESC LIMIT 10");

Save, ftp back, Purge the cache

********************

To change the quantity of recent messages showing:

2. Open forum/include/functions.php
Find:

Code: Select all

ORDER BY posts.post_id DESC LIMIT 10");

Change 10 to what ever number of posts you want to display.

Save, ftp back, Purge the cache

******************

To change the Size and with:

Open forum/styles/your_template/template/overall_header.html
Find:

Code: Select all

      var fwidth='100%'; //set scroller width
      var fheight='30px'; //set scroller height

Change the 100 and 30 to what ever works for you.

Save, ftp back, Purge the cache and refresh your styles template

Hope I've answered your questions

Thank you.

I have the Forum, two areas which I do not want to display all messages, advice?


You put it in that example, showing how the desired area, how to change the code so I get out of the two areas that, but that all the other shows?

Code: Select all

     $query1= $db->sql_query("SELECT posts.post_id, posts.topic_id, posts.poster_id, posts.post_time, posts.post_subject,  users.username, users.user_colour
                       FROM posts LEFT JOIN users ON posts.poster_id = users.user_id
                       WHERE posts.forum_id=14 or posts.forum_id=15
                       ORDER BY posts.post_id DESC LIMIT 10");

[Oliver]

I would like to take only two regions out of sight, how will it succeed?
