@tomic,
THis looks fantastic. I have a couple of quick questions. For internal purposes (I.m working on a small part of a large intranet) my main site is on a separate server to the forum. Are there any major implications for this? I'm probably going to put all my references in as absolute links (http://intranet/forum or http://webforum/forum for example), and wanted to make sure that I won't have any issues... I probably won't have full access to the root directory either (for reasons too complicated to go into...) any problems here? I'm not worried about my images being robbed (I'd be grateful if any of the buggers even used them!).
Cheers for more excellent work, I look forward to implementing it (I'm tempted to have a crack this afternoon, but suspect I might be asking for trouble!

Thank you for your help............
I have managed to get the topics to display on my front/main page but it is really out of wack.
Were I put the topics it has distorted the look of the page. It's like it has taken everything on the right and moved it to the bottom.
This has also formatted the color of all my text on the page so now it is hard to read the text
Is there any way to get rid of the header?
Is there a way to confine the topics to inside a table?
here is a link to the test page with the attempted mod

Here is what my page looks like without it

I really appreciate all your help. This Mod is exactly what I have been looking for

@tomic,
Remember that I requested a display mode that queried the subject based on today's date? Well, I was able to do it myself very easily and it works well so far!
I've seen a few minor glitches, though. If I expand the width to about 600 (or even past 200 or so), you can tell some of the display modes were optimized for a smaller table. The text only goes about 200 or so pixels into the table and same with the horizontal rules. Let me know if this ends up to be my problem.
Also, I tried to choose the "Basic News Display" (number 12) and it is linking to the article.asp page. This may be on purpose, though, because I can see where you're going with it. (Have you posted a "clean" article.asp page, yet?)
The last problem I ran into was that if there are no topics returned, my footer gets swallowed up into the table outputted by content.asp. This may just be a simple closing of a table or row tag in content.asp.
I really appreciate all your work on this. If you've read Rob Poretti's original posting of the first and second release, you'll noticed I was heavily involved in testing that mod and helped him with testing it with Access. I've been using a modified version of his first release... until now.
Let me know if you can't duplicate any of these problem. I could probably do that for you. Thanks a lot! |

For right now I have added a clean article.asp page called article2.asp. News was deliberately set up to use this page until I make a news.asp and maybe a few other templates for things like recipes or whatever I can think of. Feel free to submit ideas.
I also added a page called contentdisplay_tester.asp to try to find out where the HTML errors are and to facilitate the trying out of different display modes.
If you do not want to use the image protection, change the links in the PhotoAvatar function near the bottom of content.asp to reflect where your avatars/photos are. This is the only place you need to make changes. One line is for avatars and one is for member photos. So just take out getimage.asp yada yadda and replace it with strImageURL or strImageURL or whatever suits your needs.

| I have updated the files but I still get the same errors. Do I have to change somthing for the article2.asp to work? Will this make the difference. I have looked back at my HTML code and tried everything I could think of to get the display to fit into the middle of the page. |

I didn't get a chance to look at the HTML yet. All I did was make a blank test page to start working on that with and an article page with no left menu. I also added a bit to the readme but apart from that nothing else was done. I just didn't get a chance today. I will as soon as possible so please be patient. Remember, this is a beta and I only released it so more people could test it.

Whew, ok I have fixed the HTML in display modes 0,1,2,3,7,8,11,12,13 and 21 and made other changes to simplify the code and table structure. I also spent a lot of time making the code look good if anyone views the source so you won't be embarrassed if your mother decides to inspect your code.
Still no 3.3 version but once the HTML is all cleaned up I will set that up too.

I've had an interesting idea involving this MOD. What I would like to do is design it so that you build a display mode through passed parameters. So you would have one display mode and even more functions and/or redone functions. Can this even be done effectively? At the very least I plan on making the links dynamic so any display mode can be set to go to any page desired. This should a bit more flexibility when I add some new pages like news.asp, recipes.asp and maybe books.asp and movies.asp not that anyone would use all of these but depending on your content they might come in handy. And should you be able to turn commenting on/off?

It may be just me, but...
In some of your display modes, it calls WriteAdmin
Can you please advise where this is located (as i am unable to locate it - and nothing appears when i log in as the admin, so i wanna check that all is ok etc).
Thanks in advance |

It is just a little image that says "Edit" and it shouldn't stick out a lot.

I am very interested in enabling the XML display mode. Is there anyone with any ideas on how to do this or is there anyone that would be willing to set it up? Otherwise I am going to have to crack a book open or something

Is this MOD going to have an option to run without Avatars & MsgIcons? I don't have either of these installed.

I think the msgicon/Avatar stuff should be removed completely from the mod - they´re really unnecessary. - Mod should be a directly implementable inependent mod. |
