Site/Forum updates
Posted: Wed Sep 03, 2003 3:42 pm
Just made this really so people can see what I'm currently working on and what's working.FlashThis should work now properly, I've set the wmode to opaque instead of transparent. Please when posting a flash file make sure that the file is properly hosted and has the correct extension (eg swf). Also, make sure you do not include the loop command in the code for this forum, it will use whatever loop setting you programmed into the clip instead. A typical example of embedding a Flash clip in this forum would be:[code:1:ff955960a3][flash width=500 height=500]http://www.fouclan.com/downloads/Terence.swf[/flash][/code:1:ff955960a3]You should also be aware that I have limited the height and width max values to 999x999 so make sure you do not exceed those values or it won't work.Music StreamingCouldn't be easier, just click on the pic above and type the URL of the midi file (or other format of audio).Shadow/GlowThese both work again now, although they do not have a quick button for them at this time. To get them to work, simply use BBcode as follows...[shadow=red:ff955960a3]Shadow[/shadow:ff955960a3] [code:1:ff955960a3]Shadow Example[/code:1:ff955960a3][glow=red:ff955960a3]Glow[/glow:ff955960a3] [code:1:ff955960a3]Shadow Example[/code:1:ff955960a3]Yes, you can have both effects on one text by combining the two codes...[shadow=red:ff955960a3][glow=yellow:ff955960a3]Shadow & Glow[/glow:ff955960a3][/shadow:ff955960a3][code:1:ff955960a3]Shadow & Glow[/code:1:ff955960a3]Most of the other stuff is fairly obvious on the forum posting. Select the text you wish to apply the desired effect to, then choose the effect and it should put the code in the right place for you.I've know also managed to remove the left-side navigation bar on the forums so that it should display the entire lot on one page instead of having to horizontally scroll through posts. You can use Desu's nifty Flash banner at the top to return to the main page.My next mission is to get the forums to stay logged in once you leave. If you log in via the site then you stay logged on including on the forums, but if you log in via the forums then once you close the browser you will have to log back in again. I also plan to put the Flash banner above on all themes so you can have the same content on each theme available. Then I need to find out why the 'current users online' sometimes gives false data.More news on updates as I have them. If you come across any errors regarding the forums or site, or if you have anything you want to see on here that might be a cool feature then please let me know here.
