I know. I am saying that the blocks are hard coded width wise. Somehow they need to be percentage or something.

Hi there

just curious how I go about removing the server date and time from the user_info block?

My server is different than my local time, and it may confuse things a bit.

Do you want to remove it or adjust it?

remove preferably.

Almost at the end is this line

Code:

$content .= "<center>"._SERDT."<br />$sdt (GMT $zone)</center>";

Comment it out.

Regarding the nick length try this (i haven't tested it).
Find in the block:

Code:

      $who_online_now .= "$zi:&nbsp;<a href=\"userinfo-.html$session[uname]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/icon_mini_profile.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Check the profile of $session[uname]\"></a>&nbsp;<a href=\"messages-post-.html$memberinfo[user_id]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/nopm.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Send a quick private message to $session[uname]\"></a>&nbsp;<A HREF=\"forums.html?file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=$memberinfo[user_id]\">$session[uname]</a>(H)<br />\n";


       $who_online_now .= ($i != $member_online_num ? "  " : "");


       $i++;


   }


    else {


      $who_online_now .= "$zi:&nbsp;<a href=\"userinfo-.html$session[uname]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/icon_mini_profile.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Check the profile of $session[uname]\"></a>&nbsp;<a href=\"messages-post-.html$memberinfo[user_id]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/nopm.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Send a quick private message to $session[uname]\"></a>&nbsp;<A HREF=\"forums.html?file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=$memberinfo[user_id]\">$session[uname]</a><br />\n";


       $who_online_now .= ($i != $member_online_num ? "  " : "");


       $i++;

Change to:

Code:

            if (strlen($session[uname]) > 7) {


            $sname = substr("$session[uname]", 0,7);


            $suname = "$sname...";


            } else {


            $suname = "$session[uname]";


            }


      $who_online_now .= "$zi:&nbsp;<a href=\"userinfo-.html$session[uname]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/icon_mini_profile.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Check the profile of $session[uname]\"></a>&nbsp;<a href=\"messages-post-.html$memberinfo[user_id]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/nopm.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Send a quick private message to $session[uname]\"></a>&nbsp;<A HREF=\"forums.html?file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=$memberinfo[user_id]\">$suname</a>(H)<br />\n";


       $who_online_now .= ($i != $member_online_num ? "  " : "");


       $i++;


   }


    else {


      $who_online_now .= "$zi:&nbsp;<a href=\"userinfo-.html$session[uname]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/icon_mini_profile.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Check the profile of $session[uname]\"></a>&nbsp;<a href=\"messages-post-.html$memberinfo[user_id]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/nopm.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Send a quick private message to $session[uname]\"></a>&nbsp;<A HREF=\"forums.html?file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=$memberinfo[user_id]\">$suname</a><br />\n";


       $who_online_now .= ($i != $member_online_num ? "  " : "");


       $i++;

Change the two instances of the number 7 to the max nick length you want.

Which means i need to test stuff before posting it Razz

Give me a few minutes and i'll install the block and modify it.

No problemo man! I just thank you for the help in the first place! Razz

Maybe someday I'll know what I'm doing and I can do it without asking for help.. Shocked

I'm buried in php files right now so it might take a while, oddly i can't get the string that shortens the nick to get the value of $session[uname], so if anyone else can take a look at it in the meantime

I'm not in any hurry at all, so no big deal! Take your time! Smile
