This is pretty much the same as MySQL or Access Snitz Forum v3.4.04 with 25mods as far as mods go, but i have made some huge changes to the way you can configure the portal and headers etc.
You can now totally configure the way your portal and headers will look from CMS setup.
You can now integrate the left and right portal nav columns across the entire forum and have independent config options between your portal page and your forum pages. This will enable you to display different items in your forum nav columns to that of the portal page.
Headers, both the portal header and the forum header can be configured independently. Enable or disable items such as login if you are going to use the side nav login (which now has logout as well).
Turn on or off the header image if you wish, or align left, right or center.
Turn on or off site menu bar and use side menus.
etc etc etc.
To many changes to mention here. once you understand all the new options your brain will start to tick. I have thrown in a few helps  along the way also.
tip: The site integration mod is now a piece of cake to implement, now that you can simply turn off all the items in the header and replace it with your own.
Please remember that I am no asp programmer and have learned every thing I know from this community. Keep in mind this forum still needs more testing.

To keep files in their appropriate folders make sure you use the proper extraction method for the zip file.
Please read ForumSetup_Access.htm or ForumSetup_Mysql.htm to guide you on the installation process. I'm no guru so please use your own discretion
happy testing  |
Oh....Is that it? |

Thanks, choppermc!!
Have you thought of publishing a demo site, or some screenshots? Maybe it can help people understand what this version of the forum does, without the need to download the code, and install it.
Just as a suggestion |
Best Regards

I cant really demonstrate the configuration ability to any grate affect visually without giving some one full admin rights to a demo forum. But I can offer a couple of snapshots of the cms setup.

Hi, like the package very much. but have run into a few things.
First, I get this error when I click on members files.
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e10'
No value given for one or more required parameters.
/snitz/inc_UploadFunc.asp, line 551
Have I fogoten a permision on a folder or what? I can up load files and down load files. (I'm using the access data base at this time.)
Next, the scrol bar on internet explorer is in yellow. Where can I change that back to grey or some other color?
Last, I see you have a way of using mysql. Is there an easy way of porting to MS SQL 2000?
Everything else works great! Thanks for any help that you can give. |

fastrax,
To change scroll bar color, open inc_header and goto about line 290, there you will find this:
"body {" & vbNewLine & _
"scrollbar-face-color:#F4DA5C;" & vbNewLine & _
"scrollbar-arrow-color:#000000;" & vbNewLine & _
"scrollbar-track-color:#FEED95;" & vbNewLine & _
"scrollbar-shadow-color:#000000;" & vbNewLine & _
"scrollbar-highlight-color:#000000;" & vbNewLine & _
"scrollbar-3dlight-color:#000000;" & vbNewLine & _
"scrollbar-darkshadow-Color:#000000;" & vbNewLine & _
"}" & vbNewLine & _
You can edit or remove it.
As for the error your geting... I have been unable to reproduce it at my end, you may have to tell me what changes you made prior to geting this error.
For MySql to MsSql try using the help forums as I Know nothing about MsSql. |

No worries choppermc, I ended up just reloading it from the zip and it works perfect now. Not sure what I messed up the first time. Thanks for the tip on the scroll bar, it worked great.
*edit
I have been playing with it a bit more now and ran into an interesting problem. when you try to upload a file and you click upload new file. Is there anyway you can resize the pop up window? maybe a floating window size? I am using larger fonts (120dpi) and you can't read everything in the window.
Also, how do you sign up for the newsletter? am I blind? |

Fastrax,
Popup Window
On lines 440, 503 and 566 in membersFiles.asp, find this: onClick=""JavaScript:openWindow and change to this: onClick=""JavaScript:openWindow6
Putting a 2,3,4,5,or a 6 at the end of openWindow will activate set functions for popup windows which can be located in the inc_header between lines 248 and 284.
I reckon 6 will get you out of trouble.
The Newsletter,
No you are not blind, I just forgot that I had removed the subscription part from default.asp. But no worries, it is really easy to fix.
Copy and past this: <!-- #INCLUDE FILE="nlform.asp" --> at about line 39 default.asp directly below This: <!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_header.asp" -->
and thats it. The subscription part will show up at the top of the default page.

Is there anyway we could get a dbs file to update?
Going to try and add it to a 3.4.5 forum that I just started up not too long ago.
Just long enough to where I can not just start over.
But I would like to use this forum setup on there if at all possible.
Useing the Access DB
Thanks for your time,
Dubie |
