Block ForumsCollapsing - modifying

Posted: Mon Oct 19, 2009 9:34 pm

Like this block a lot for my support site. However, I would like to default it to SHOW rather than HIDE, how? I changed a few things where available in the block but still shows only the default hide (3). Yes, I can change the "3" to "25" and it will always show the 25 no matter whether hide or show.

Cheers

Edit block file.

FIND:
$("#main_topic").siblings(".child_topic").hide();

CHANGE TO:
$("#main_topic").siblings(".child_topic").show();

Thanks, thought it would be in the user-selectable configurations at the top, didn't think (as usual) to look past "don't edit below" Very Happy

Another problem creeped in ...

If I disable "Show top posters", left and right blocks disappear.

Also, if I choose to show top posters, how do I eliminate "Anonymous" as I don't allow anons to post. And yes, anons posting is disabled in the general prefs.

Update: Found how to remove "Anonymous" by using the skip users feature ... RTFM

Cheers

dad7732, can you make a mantis issue for this?

Never logged in to Mantis, don't even remember the access, etc. or how to enter an issue. Guess I could wing it if I can get in.

Thanks!

Can't see how to edit the submission, maybe I can't .. However ..

Enter 2

Should be

Enter: 0

So that it = none = no posters are shown.

I don't think the new guys can edit yet. I'll take care of it.

That's ok I added the typo correction in as a note on that issue ID

Changing hide() to show() will still allow the user to collapse if so desired.

NeapolitanWorld, that won't work with the latest block because i rewrote it to use jQuery.

Thanks. I am tracking down the "Top Poster" problem now. There appears to be an unclosed div tag.

Posted: Sat Oct 24, 2009 9:40 pm

Find line 195:

Code:




$content .= '<div style="text-align: center"><a href="' . $backendForumsXML . '" title="' . bfcBACKENDTITLE . '"><img src="images/blocks/xmlicon.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';

Replace with:

Code:




$content .= '<div style="text-align: center"><a href="' . $backendForumsXML . '" title="' . bfcBACKENDTITLE . '"><img src="images/blocks/xmlicon.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><br />';

Find Line 203:

Code:




$content .= '<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">' . bfcTOPPOSTERS . '</span><br /><br /><table class="outer" cellpadding="0"'

Replace with:

Code:




$content .= '<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">' . bfcTOPPOSTERS . '</span><br /><br /><table class="outer" cellpadding="0"'

Thanks, will do the edit .. but .. my users like the Top Posters now so I'll keep it like that after all .. Cool

Cheers

Made the edit and changing "show top posters" to "0=none" still causes the side blocks to disappear.

Update: The OTHER top poster configuration lines also have to be changed to "none" or "0" then it works ok.

Cheers

I'm not seeing it so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2009 3:41 pm

Can anyone else reproduce this?

Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2009 3:43 pm

What theme are you using?

Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2009 4:07 pm

The problem was when selecting 0 = none for ShowTopPosters the side blocks would disappear.
