Code Select Expand

// YSHOUT HERE
      echo '
                     <br /><b>Shout Box</b><br /><br />
                     <div id="yshout">',$txt['yshout_loading'],'<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>';
      // YSHOUT END
to

Code Select Expand

// YSHOUT HERE
      echo '
                     <br /><b>Shout Box</b><br />
                     <div id="yshout">',$txt['yshout_loading'],'<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>';
      // YSHOUT END

Thanks, brianjw. It worked.

And how do I change the font color for Shout Box title to say GREEN or BLUE?

[brianjw]

Change

Code Select Expand


// YSHOUT HERE
      echo '
                     <br /><b>Shout Box</b><br />
                     <div id="yshout">',$txt['yshout_loading'],'<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>';
      // YSHOUT END

to

Code Select Expand


// YSHOUT HERE
      echo '
                     <br /><b><font color="green">Shout Box</font></b><br />
                     <div id="yshout">',$txt['yshout_loading'],'<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>';
      // YSHOUT END

That code is in green, if you want it blue just change the word green to blue

That was amazing, brianjw... Thanks a lot.

And by the way, how do I add a clickable button to the right of Shout button? I need to add a quick link to a certain childboard. There's still much room next to the Shout button anyway, so why don't we utilize that for quick links?

No problem.

Talk to nneonneo about that one though

[comptech]

Or, how do I change the link to the existing Shout button to point it to a certain popular childboard?

Members would not be using that most of the time, anyway. They would just press ENTER button to make a shout.

[nneonneo]

See

Code Select Expand

<input id="shout-button" type="button" value="',$txt['yshout_shout_button'],'" /> in yshout/yshout.php.

Change to (or add after)

Code Select Expand

<input id="jump-button" type="button" value="Go to special place" onClick="document.location=\'$$$\'" /> where $$$ is the target URL.

[comptech]

Thanks, nneonneo.

It worked like a charm...

And if it's not so much to ask from you, a 2nd Button for quick link  would, indeed, be cool.

[brianjw]

Just add another one after (just change the id name like below)

Code Select Expand


<input id="jump-button2" type="button" value="Go to special place2" onClick="document.location=\'$$$\'" />


[comptech]

That was great, brianjw.

Would you know how to change the button color to GREEN, and the font color to WHITE?

[brianjw]

OK well you're going to have to open the theme you're usings index.template.php file.
Find:

Code Select Expand


      #yshout #shout-button {
         width: 55px;
      }

Add After:

Code Select Expand


input.btn {
   color:#FFFFFF;
   font-family:'trebuchet ms',helvetica,sans-serif;
   font-size:84%;
   font-weight:bold;
   background-color:#006600;
}

Now, close the index.template.php.
Open yshout.php.
Find:

Code Select Expand


<input id="jump-button2" type="button" value="Go to special place2" onClick="document.location=\'$\'" />

Replace With:

Code Select Expand


<input id="jump-button2" type="button" value="Go to special place2" onClick="document.location=\'$\'" class="btn" />

NOTE: if you change the css name at all, the button style will not work

Brianjw

Btw, this is easy html

[brianjw]

What are the manual edits to install 1.08 instead of uninstalling 1.07 to install 1.08?

Also is it possible to make the anonymous function a checkbox? I need a checkbox

Thanks.

@brianjw:

Followed your last hint as above for changing background & font color of Shout Button, but it all resulted in parsing errors for index.template.php.

Any idea why this is so?

[nneonneo]

@ruelnov: Need to use

Code Select Expand

input.btn {
   color:#FFFFFF;
   font-family:\'trebuchet ms\',helvetica,sans-serif;
   font-size:84%;
   font-weight:bold;
   background-color:#006600;
}
instead (brianjw: note that the whole thing is in an echo '...' block so you must escape the ' characters)

@brianjw: There were many changes, hence no upgrade. Attached is a "diff" format file describing all the changes.
"-" means to remove the line, "+" means to add the line.

Sorry I can't get you anything more meaningful, but for me to write up a full update mod or instructions would take me a lot more time.

[brianjw]

What program do I open this in?

[comptech]

@ruelnov: Need to use

Code Select Expand

input.btn {
   color:#FFFFFF;
   font-family:\'trebuchet ms\',helvetica,sans-serif;
   font-size:84%;
   font-weight:bold;
   background-color:#006600;
}
instead

Thanks, nneonneo.

And how do I force a carriage return after Shout Button, so that additional buttons would appear at next line?

[brianjw]

a what?

[nneonneo]

@brianjw: Open it in any text editor.

@ruelnov: Carriage returns (newlines) are represented in HTML by a break: <br /> tag.
