How difficult would it be to change the two supporting columns so that they are on the "outside" of the inc_site_header and inc_site_footer includes?
I would like to make the two outside "Site left" and "Site right" columns extend all the way to the top and bottom, thus sandwiching the header and footer between them, unlike the current configuration shown below: <
This is one thing that I do like using FrontPage for ... drawing a table and then looking at the code to see how it was done. Do you by chance have a copy of FrontPage? Ah, nevermind ... it took a little longer, but I did it in MS Word.
You'll have to do some messing around with the way the table is laid out in the MOD, but below has the rowspan values in which you may be interested. I commented what should go where. Save the code below as a .html file and then view it in your browser.
This is the HTML structure you want:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div>
<table border=1> <tr> <td width=30 rowspan=3 valign=top> Left Side </td> <td width=528 valign=top> Top </td> <td width=30 rowspan=3 valign=top> Right Side </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Middle<br><br><br><br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width=528 valign=top> Bottom </td> </tr> </table> </div>
</body>
</html>
This is the HTML structure you have:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div>
<table border=1> <tr> <td width=588 colspan=3 valign=top> Top </td> </tr> <tr> <td width=30 valign=top> Left Side </td> <td width=528 valign=top> Middle </td> <td width=30 valign=top> Right Side </td> </tr> <tr> <td width=588 colspan=3 valign=top> Bottom </td> </tr> </table>
ok..try this, the values are hardcoded for what u want, so u wont be able to use the admin panel to turn on/off the sectiosn u want, but i have left it so it can be enabled/disabled and the borders shoudl work.
ok here we go.
fine this bit of code in inc_header.asp
if strSiteIntegEnabled = "1" then response.write "<table width=""100%"" border=""" if strSiteBorder = "1" then response.write "1" else response.write "0" end if response.write """ cellspacing=""0"" cellpadding=""0"">" & vbNewLine if strSiteHeader = "1" then response.write " <tr>" & vbNewLine & _ " <td" if strSiteLeft = "1" or strSiteRight = "1" then if strSiteLeft = "1" and strSiteRight = "1" then Response.write " colspan=""3""" else Response.write " colspan=""2""" end if end if response.write ">" %><!--#include file="inc_site_header.asp"--><% response.write "</td>" & vbNewLine & _ " </tr>" & vbNewLine end if response.write " <tr>" & vbNewLine & _ " <td valign=""top"">" & vbNewLine if strSiteLeft = "1" then %><!--#include file="inc_site_left.asp"--><% response.write "</td>" & vbNewLine & _ " <td valign=""top"">" & vbNewLine end if end if
replace it with this
if strSiteIntegEnabled = "1" then response.write "<table width=""100%"" border=""" if strSiteBorder = "1" then response.write "1" else response.write "0" end if response.write """ cellspacing=""0"" cellpadding=""0"">" & vbNewLine & _ "<tr>" & vbNewLine & _ " <td rowspan=""3"">" & vbNewLine
if strSiteIntegEnabled = "1" then if strSiteRight = "1" then Response.Write " </td>" & vbNewLine & _ " <td valign=""top"">" & vbNewLine %><!--#include file="inc_site_right.asp"--><% end if Response.Write " </td>" & vbNewLine & _ " </tr>" & vbNewLine if strSiteFooter = "1" then Response.write " <tr>" & vbNewLine & _ " <td" if strSiteLeft = "1" or strSiteRight = "1" then if strSiteLeft = "1" and strSiteRight = "1" then Response.write " colspan=""3""" else Response.write " colspan=""2""" end if end if Response.write ">" %><!--#include file="inc_site_footer.asp"--><% Response.write " </td>" & vbNewLine & _ " </tr>" & vbNewLine end if Response.write "</table>" & vbNewLine end if
MaD2Ko0l: dat's da bomb! It worked right out of the box. . .but like you mentioned, no turning off/on from the admin panel. I think I can work with that. . .thanks!
Etymon: Got it. . .but not sure what to do with it.
i did what Etymon did to find out what/where i needed to move the tags then compared it to the original site intergration mod code then just formated it into snitz codeing.
i suppose it could be changed so that you coudl turn on/off each section but i couldnt get my head around it at the time, a little busy here atm, and i have nowhere to test it out, so i made the next best thing :-)<
Yeah, you have to think about forums as a box or a square and think about the Site Integration as a perimeter or a border that is around or outside of the square.
The tags for the configuration of the perimeter are contained within the perimeter itself and not within the square. So try not to mush the whole concept of getting the Site Integration MOD to work successfully with your forum as something that is dependent upon the nature of your forum's HTML setup. Focus on what is going on inside the perimeter. <
