WOW!! Therion93...I just checked your site! I LOVE the navigation you've setup. That is EXACTLY what I want to do on my site. I just did a test site last night with my Snitz database. Have some issues to workout, but you're already where I'm heading.
How did you do it? Will you share the info?? I have just barely looked at the ServerHacker code as I've been waiting for the fixes. I assume the left side where you put the Navigation was an include for it instead of the newsfeed include. How are you doing the other menus in the main "frame"?
Sorry to get somewhat off topic. We can take this to e-mail if necessary...I suspect there's others who'd appreciate the info too though.
Impressive work! (Just like ServerHacker's!)
Thanks!
Thank you but it was all rather easy. The original sitenews.asp refers to newsfeed.asp on line 27. I simply replaced that with the name of my menu file. Only the forum menu is from BrotherCake. I use a java applet for my main site menu.
I moved the resources folder from my forum folder to my root web folder; changed line 34 of custom.asp to reflect the new location; and also changed lines 243 through 245 & 319 of inc_header.asp to refelct the new location of the forum menu files.
If you have pages outside your main forum folder you will also need to change the path info to register.asp, policy.asp, & admin_homes.asp in inc_header.asp. I simply added ../forum to the url. Do the same with your forum menu options in custom.asp. You will also have to change the path to the proper include files at the top of any page outside the forum folder. I just added /forum to the path in the include statement.
To make the logo in the upper left change to reflect what page is loaded I simply added <% strTitleImage= "image_name.gif" %> right before the <!--#INCLUDE FILE="forum/inc_header.asp" -->.
Hope that makes sense and helps. Let me know if you want me to help out. 
I am considering dumping the forum menus altogether and just creating my own, but I'm not sure I like the idea of crunching the forum pages inside a smaller table so that I can include my own navigation menus to the left.
I'll also be adding code to custom.asp (the forum menu) that will make certain menu options unavailable to anyone not logged in. |

I got the calendar mod installed on my forum.... wasnt too bad of a MOD. You just need to be real careful not to overwrite the modded SQL statement with the "replacement" code, just add the missing fields.
I also ran into isuues on topic.asp and had to basically rewrite how the calendar gets dropped in.
I also plopped the Calendar Display out on the Site Portal Page. Simple enough as droppping in the include.
I have a ways to go yet because I'm stuffing this forum into a larger site......
Last bits for me is getting my ThinHeader, ThinTree (replaces the folder tree with "All Forums > SiteNews > Announcements" as a single 27 pixel high row), ThinFooter, and Integration MOD in and i'm done with MODing... pshew.
Then just need to wedgie in all my personal icons, buttons, smilies, and work on the color integration .... yay.
Now that I lay it all out it seems soooo far off
Thanks Serverhacker for giving me a grat base to start from.

Coolio! Thanks to everyone for the Navigation info. I look forward to attempting it this weekend. First I have to figure out what got toasted when I tried to use my own database. I know there was an error when I imported the first MOD, but the rest seemed ok, not sure how that would so drastically affect the look I'm getting. I'll try recopying the site code with the new version, maybe I did something else.
Anyway, thanks. I'll let you know how it goes. Yee hoo. |

Hi Serverhacker,
Great work with the mods and the latest addition of the calender mod. I notice that the in_events.asp use by the sitenews page is not included in the download. |

Quick reply is a standard MOD, it is in Admin Options-->Feature Configuration-->scroll down till you see posting features and hit the radio button that says Show Quick Reply.
<edit> It's at the bottom of the selections. |

Braham,
there is one here :

and.. wow... if you could manage to get a shoutcast playlist up that would be amazing too
I need a little help from someone who knows javascript better than I. Below I give a link to the modifications needed to use RDF files for the news on the front page. As far as I can tell, it should all work, but somehow the array (created to hold the information parsed from the rdf) is not being setup/read to/read from properly.
there are better ways to implement what i've done, i dont doubt it one bit. But this is just a brute force way to see if it will work, and i'll clean it all up afterwards. I know for a fact it can all be done in just the newsfeed.asp file, but i didnt want to copy all the java over and modify it.
i need someone to take a look and see if they can figure out whats being lost. The java code (taken from the link on the previous page by al_iguana) looks at the provided rss/rdf file to determine which type it is (rdf or rss) and then parses out the info in to an array. The array is apparently where the problem occurs.
the code is available @ http://www.braham.org/RDFmod.zip
<edit> www.braham.org has the rdfmod applied and you can see the error when loading... "channel is undefined", but from what i can tell it *should* be there.</edit>

I just installed this and when I go to my site the first page starts to load and then I get this error on the first page:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'FORUM_FORUM.FORUM_ID ='.
/forum/inc_news.asp, line 13
What should I do next?
Thanks!

Did you configure your news forum? If not log into the admin options and choose 'Config News Forum'. This is where you define which forum the news will pull items from and how many items it pulls.
Hope that helps. |

I logged on about 15 min later and it worked. I didn't do anything to it. Kind of wierd.
Also, the first time I setup a user I got an database error. I couldn't write something to it. The user worked and then users after that did not get an error.
