Hi there:
This forum software ROCKS. I just installed the latest version and got all the functions to work as they want to. Now, I want to customize. However, I am used to working with files that are a combination of html/asp and I can see that these files are all asp written with all the content being all "response.write". I want to do a fair bit of customization (like adding tables, copying snitz asp code into the new table, etc. etc in order to change the formatting). So the question is, the only way I can do this is by using response.writes? None of the mods do what I want to do...
Just wanted to know before I go in and do this as I didn't want to mess with the asp code unless i have to (not a programmer u see but am resourceful and with trial and error i can do it).
Cheers in advance,
Jag |

| It's always advisable to use Response.Write's, but if you really need to you can drop into plain HTML coding. Snitz used to be a html/asp mix but they made the move a few versions ago (3.4.03 ??) to fully Response.Write. |

This is about the closest topic I can find relating to my query, so here goes...
Similar to hyperhappy, I am in the process of placing our existing forum into a table, so that it integrates with our site revamp. I began to do this using includes to place the forum code into the table with some success. However there are certain areas that the code is such that the bottom section of the table, below the forum does not get rendered, the html delivered to the client just stops at the end of the forum. I assume this is due to the way the asp statements are finalised in these pages, and have tried various methods to overcome it, I have also tried pasting the code direct without using includes, and no matter what I do I get the same thing.
I can however display the content on the page in full if I place the forum code outside the table?
I would be grateful if anyone can give me a clue as to how to get around this, again if possible avoiding response.writes as I am using a dreamweaver template and it will get very complex.
To see what i mean view an example on the test server

I managed to solve it by removing the response.end
How critical is this? Should I place one in elsewhere? |

hi guys, should I start a new thread now?? I wanted some help on my initial post. I will post it here but I don't want to get into trouble. Not sure if it's best if I start a new thread now. You can tell me if that's the case but here it is right now...
I managed to incorporate HTML elemements into the forum but I wanted some help tweaking. I got it as far as:
http://www.brioassociates.com/forum
BUT, ideally, I want it to look like:
http://www.brioassociates.com/forum/design.html
The reason I am not sure on the next steps, is because of the following:
1) The inc_header.asp includes both the forum nav and the logout info and I was wondering if I could seperate the 2???
2) The footer is written with the content where it says "writefooter" and not sure how I would seperate this from the rest of the code?
P.S. To ruirib, that's why i thought it would mess up the admin code, if i start moving code around...can it mess it up?
You guys are great. Thanks for the help. Cheers!!! |

1. You can do whatever you feel is needed to get the look you want. The only mandatary things relate to the Snitz copyright, in the meta info sent to the browser and the link back to Snitz at the bottom right.
So, you want to separate navigation and login / logout info/form, do it.
2. Not sure about what you mean? What do you want to separate?
Have a look at the link I posted for Brookie. Maybe the Site Integration mod can help you.
Admin code is not contained in inc_header.asp, so I don't see how you can mess it up. Anyway keep a current backup of your files so that you can revert to something that works in case of trouble.
P.S.: Let's keep the discussion here, for now. |

From the link you posted, it seems easy to do as you wish.
Have a look around both MOD forums, you should find all the code you need, and people who are willing to help.
It seems like you have most of it done anyhow. |

Hi guys:
Thanks for your responses although I couldn't wait around so I reinvented what I had to do. I sort gave up on my original thoughts as I don't really have the time to do too much customization so I changed it a bit:
http://www.brioassociates.com/forum
The only thing is, I can't get the "Snitz Forum 2000" link to show up white as if I change it to white, you can't see the forum nav as the styles are connected.
Any ideas???
Cheers |
