I have forgone the Flash at the top of the page as well as the timeout that occurs when logged in as admin. I have also forgone trying to add links to the upper right, and changing font size to 11.
I have contacted ILLHILL about the blog, thanks for showing me him. His setup looks pretty sweet.
I hate to take more of your time, but do you have suggestions where I could look for the auto-email adder thing?
You've been very helpful, Thanks a ton! |

Anon, I found this code! but I still don't know how to incorperate it in the forum :/
<INPUT type="text" STYLE="color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; background-color: #72A4D2;" size="10" maxlength="30">
I would like to colorize all of the text areas, etc...could you tell me where the code for them is? Is it all in header? If so, would you mind telling me the lines?
I realize it's a lot of work to help me! I really appreciate it!
Thanks |

Sorry to post so much.
I was able to find just the username and password boxes, tried to edit it with this:
" <input type=""text"" STYLE=""color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; font-size: 11px; background-color: #540101;"" size="10" maxlength="30" name=""Name"" size=""10"" maxLength=""25"" value=""""></td>" & vbNewLine & _
Got this error on the forum page:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'
Expected end of statement
/forum/inc_header.asp, line 347
" <input type=""text"" STYLE=""color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; font-size: 11px; background-color: #540101;"" size="10" maxlength="30" name=""Name"" size=""10"" maxLength=""25"" value=""""></td>" & vbNewLine & _
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^
help?
Thanks, sorry again for so much posts. |

Anon, no need to add links now, we've forgone it because we don't really need any ;) But I'll let you know if we change our minds on that one.
I say we because Dodge, my boss, has the final say. |

You got the above error because it was expecting the line of code to be done at the end of the indicated quotes - and it found more than that. Because VBScript doesn't have an escape character, if you want to output double-quotes you need to quote the quotes..
so if you want maxlength="30" to be sent to the browser, you need to actually put maxlength=""30"" so it won't treat the quotes as the end of the string.
Don't worry about asking a lot of questions - we all had to start somewhere!   |

Anon, great! Got it fixed and it looks quite nice! Thank you!
However, I still do not know where to look to change the code on the text areas when they post a message, the members section where you can search out members, the search function, etc etc...should I look on the actual pages that they are, or is it some funky include type deal :P
Also, I found some great leads on getting the blog and news done (the blog was ILLHILL which is very nice)
Thanks! |

I've been thinking about the text area color more and more... you could add a CSS style for all <input> and <textbox> elements - but that would probably affect your buttons too since the forum is using <input> elements instead of <button> elements... not sure if that would be acceptable.
Glad you got everything else going. |

Anon, did you get a chance to try the search again for some way to sign people up for my newsletter? Also, there are a few things that remain unanswered.
1) I'm not sure where to look for the remainder of the INPUT tags...I have found only the login ones in inc_header. What about reply posting, quick reply, actual login page, Jump To, etc etc. Thanks
2) Originally #13, just kinda trailed off. I'd like to set permissions to "Forum A" for users to read and reply, but not post new topics (only admins can). "Forum B" would allow normal users to read, but not post or reply (again, only admins). "Forum C" would allow users to read, write, etc etc as is default. And "Forum D" would not allow users to view or post - in fact would be nice if this one didn't even show up for normal users.
Thanks! |

When I suggested adding some CSS for all the <input> tags, I was thinking of a global thing instead of hunting down all the <input> tags in the forum... especially since they are scattered all over a whole bunch of pages. =/
As to the permissions you have a couple of options:
1. You can install the UserGroups MOD. This will let you set a forum to be "Read Only" for whatever groups, or Full access or No access. Unfortunately there is technically no "Reply Only"...
2. Through some judicious use of the Moderation capabilities, you can set it so the first post is the only one Moderated (and therefore anyone who is posting where they shouldn't be gets their stuff moved by the moderator before its seen by the world) and you could Moderate all posts in the ones you wanted as "Read Only".
Either way, you can set a forum's Auth Type to be "Allowed Members Only (Hidden)" and it will only be visible to those you put on the Allowed Members List.
Your best bet is probably to use a combination of the two. The UserGroup MOD can be found floating around here on the forums - just make sure you do all the code changes in the thread as the download hasn't been updated with all the fixes mentioned. |

Anon...hmm, the CSS thing would be better, but I haven't a clue how to do that.
I think the second option sounds best. How can I set it so that A) Only the forums I want are moderated, and B) Only the first post is moderated? |

In your Admin Options, go to "Feature Configuration" and set "Allow Topic Moderation" to "On"
Then, for each category that has forums you want to moderate, edit the Category and select "Moderation Allowed in this Category"
Lastly, in each forum, edit the forum and select the level of moderation you want. Set as a Moderator anybody you want to allow to post at will and move/remove/approve any pending posts.
I still think that for your "Read Only" forums the UserGroup MOD is a better way to go, and is a good MOD to add for management purposes - especially when you find yourself with a large number of people to manage. |

Assuming the CSS we added earlier, find this and add the part in red (line breaks added to keep the post from stretching...):
"input.ohboy {color:lime;
background-color:orange;
border:none;
font-size:9px;
font-family:""Times New Roman"",serif;}" & vbNewLine & _
"input, textarea {color:lime;
background-color:orange;
border:none;
font-size:9px;
font-family:""Times New Roman"",serif;}" & vbNewLine & _
"-->" & vbNewLine & _
Now, I don't know if that will work... just a thought and a simple edit worth trying. |
