Info Box

[Allison]

lol... i meant, is there any way to put my name in the info box and have it be a link for other people to click on and PM me.


and this doesn't have anything to do with the info box, but i couldn't find it anywhere else: is it possible to add text, like instructions or something, in the reply area? like if the text were underneath the Add Tags buttons, but in the same section... do you follow what i'm saying?

and thanks again for your help...

You're the main admin right? If you're not simply replace "admin" in the URL with your username, not your display name.

<a href="http://eragonroran5.proboards106.com/index.cgi?action=pmsend&to=admin" target="_blank">Allison</a>

I used the link in your sig, I hope that's the forum you want it for. Also this code will make the link open in a new window, if you don't want that, use this instead:

<a href="http://eragonroran5.proboards106.com/index.cgi?action=pmsend&to=admin">Allison</a>

Hope that this helps.

As for the text in the reply area, all I could find is a table that will appear only when posting, hope that it will work for you.

<script language="javascript">
<!--
if (location.href.indexOf("action=post") != -1)
{
document.write('<center><table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" class="bordercolor"><tr><td class="titlebg"><font face="Verdana,Arial" Size="-2"><b>HEADER</b></td></tr><tr><td class="windowbg2">TEXT</font></td></tr></table></center>');
}
// -->

</script>

Simply change the HEADER text to what you want it to say in the header of the table. And change the TEXT to what you want it to say inside the table beneath the header. If you would like any changes as far as text size, table size and what not, then please let me know. Also put it in your global header or footer if you want it on all of your boards, or in an individual header or footer if you want it for specific boards. Put it in the header to have it show up above the reply area, and in the footer to have it show up below the reply area. I found this code at Proboards Support in their General Talk board source file.

I hope that this helps.

ok, i put the code in and everything for the table in the reply area, made a couple small font changes, but nothing that should disrupt the rest or anything, and i can't find it. its not there...

but the rest of it really helped, thanks. i don't know why its not there....


and sorry, one more off-topic question: is there a code to make it so that you can use color and font changes and everything in sigs and the text under the avatar, or am i doing something wrong with it in the first place?

The table only shows up in the boards that you put the code in, and it only appears when someone replies to a topic or creates a new topic in the board or boards that you placed the code in. I tested the code and it works fine for me, so double check and make sure that it appears when you reply to a topic and when creating a new one. Also there might be another code that is preventing the other one from displaying properly, make sure to put it at the top of the text area for your codes. Also check to see if after you added it if you receive an error message at the bottom left corner of your internet explorer. You're welcome, I hope that we can get this to work for you. And for your signature you need to use UBBC tags, not HTML tags. UBBC tags are the kind you use when posting, so from the drop down color box in the posting area you'll be able to view all the possible colors that you can use, and then simply add the tags around the text you want to be a different color in your sig. Please remember that adding UBBC tags will add towards you total character allotment in your signature. So if you don't have enough room left, you won't be able to add the tags. And for your personal text beneath your avatar, neither UBBC tags or HTML tags will work, so it seems that they disabled the use of tags in that specific area. Meaning that you can't change your personal text in any way shape or form. Unless you can find a code that you can put into your headers and footers that allows you to change the style of your personal text. And I don't know of any, and as long as I've used Proboards I haven't seen any either. I hope this helps.

I tried to move it to the front of all my codes, I tried it in the global header and footer, I even looked for it in random places to see if it showed up somewhere else, but I can't find it anywhere. If you meant that if there was like a "Done but with Errors on Page" sort of thing, there is, but i don't know what to do about it... and i can't say for sure that it wasn't there before, haha...

The best way to deal with problem codes is to take all of them out, save them to a WordPad or word processing program, and inserting each code in one at a time until you find the problem code. In this case, leave the table code in, and insert each of the others codes in with it one at a time until you find the one causing the problem. Because I can assure you that the code does work. I'm sorry that I'm not more helpful, but that's about all I can do from this position. I hope that you find the problem code, once you do post it here and we will try to deal with it. Worst case scenario, we'll have to remove it completely. I hope that this helps, let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

I have a question about the info box's title font color.
Is there a code I may use that changes the title font color to the skins' title text color? That way, it blends in for every skin and it would work for a skin that has black in the title cells.
The kind of code I'm thinking of is used right above the title text color in your info box code. td class=orange? Something along those lines.

Hopefully you can understand what I'm asking xD I'm a bit on the bad side when it comes to explaining things.

Oh I know what you're talking about. And after some time I finally figured it out, I couldn't remember how to do it. Just replace this:

<font color="">
With this:

<font class="titletext">
Good luck, let us know if you need anything in the future.

The table is small? To increase the size change the very first:

width="92%"

To a higher percent, or take away the percent and make it a larger number.

Thanks! It looks a lot better! One more question^^

How do I center the words in my info box?

Put your text inside these tags:
<center>TEXT</center>

Hope that helps, let us know if you need anything else.
