PageEar (Page peel)

Define "my own stuff"? You can see the mod in action on my site:
http://www.choppix.com

Making it visible to only logged in users would be a matter of surrounding edits 2 and 3 with and if clause of $context['user']['is_logged']

See where youve added your text, how did you do that, and how could I add an image?

Edits 2 and 3?
Is this within the index. temp?

Thanks mate

Very cool!!! How would I make the page peel appear on the message.index pages and the display.template pages too? It only appears on the forum main page, and oddly, the admin pages! (is that normal?)

Thanks for a VERY cool mod!

Ok.. nvm my previous post.
Because I had never seen this before, I made the assumption that there was a template you edit to add your text etc..
I hadnt realised it was an image! lol
Anyways, thats sorted.

Now with the user logged in permission, could someone show me where to add this please

Ive had several failed attempts, and do not want visitors to see this, as Ive added it for my users pleasure/experience.

Thank You

You would do something like this in your index.template.php file... where you added the javascript call, near the closing </body> tag...

Code Select


';
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
echo '<!-- PageEar function call -->  
<script type="text/javascript">    
    writeObjects();
</script>';
echo '</body></html>';

well, you are welcome... btw... doing that in the head tag too, would also save bandwidth.

Hmm.. I have been looking at some of the other implementations...

http://www.choppix.com/

and

http://www.mysamurai.eu/forum

It looks like choppix is having the same problem as me....

http://www.choppix.com/index.php/board,23.0.html

It works on the main page, but not on the message index, or the display pages.

but http://mysamurai.eu/forum/ seems to have it working on all pages.....

http://mysamurai.eu/forum/index.php?board=2.0

I sure would like to figure out why it's not displaying on my message index and display pages.

Thanks in advance.

Ok fixed Its worked like a charm --> www.mysamurai.eu/forum

Some Additions that i think will be good to have (dont know if they can implemented somehow)

a) I think an on / off action, will be handy So we can switch it off when we want

b) In the joomla version of it, it had an option to open the page (i mean the torn page) more. So to have a bigger picture (bigger small and bigger big one) in it. Dont know if this can be done.

c) Will be handy also, to be able to have more than one images. And load in every refresh, one of them. So to have many points of interest there, for your users if its articles or advertisments. I assume this can be done with Swf, but the user must know flash, and its prob:P)

Thats all i can think right now

Ty again !!

A) Yes that would be a good idea. I'll add it as soon as i can.

B) Well you can try manually doing it. By finding theses lines:

Code Select

var thumbWidth = "100"; var thumbHeight = "100";
var bigWidth = "500"; var bigHeight = "500";

and changing the sizes

C) Yes that probably would be todo with flash. But i'll will look into it for you.

guess

Code Select

 <script type="text/javascript"> writeObjects(); </script>

Is placed AFTER </body>

@ Digit thanks for helping out.

Ty for the quick reply

Especially the c will be a major hit to have, hope it can be done somehow

A must Mod

I installed it - then I completed the Manual edits as I have Black45 Theme (1.1.5) and it does not show,

Any help? I attached my template with the mods as a reference.

Replace old index.template with this one. Backup first.

mashby · August 08, 2008, 01:49:45 PM

Try this one.

Yes i can. Its something i did wrong...You must have followed the steps on the download page. Here and i hadn't updated it yet. My fault not yours. Sorry.

@cerberos: If you want it you can use PHP to pull up images from a directory and load them up randomly.

TheDel · August 08, 2008, 02:19:35 PM

I installed this too and it went no problem BUT since I was kinda keeping it on the hush hush from my members wasn't sure if I had the same issue regarding it only showing on admin pages.

My 2 suggestions-

like others an on/off switch would put this mod over the top (IMO) -up there with my favorite mods.

and the ability to change the display. have a random image/link appear. Could this be possible with some php code put in instead of the image path? I know I have used this for my random avatar for years here (thanks to one of the great coders here). I havent tried it and unfortunately am not in a position to do it soon. But just wanted to throw the idea out there.

jmil · August 08, 2008, 02:25:30 PM

+1 on the ON/OFF
+1 on Roll over Images
+1 on board selection _ I think in my case Main board is good but not the topics!

Either way - This was well done and the support was done in under 30 minutes of my email WOW AND KUDOS TO YOU.

mashby · August 08, 2008, 02:37:04 PM

Minor issue (for boards and displays)
This code:

Code Select

var pagearSmallImg = "', $modSettings['pageear_small_url'], '";
var pagearSmallSwf = "pageear/pageear_s.swf";
var pagearBigImg = "', $modSettings['pageear_big_url'], '";
var pagearBigSwf = "pageear/pageear_b.swf";

might be better as:

Code Select

var pagearSmallImg = "', $modSettings['pageear_small_url'], '";
var pagearSmallSwf = "/pageear/pageear_s.swf";
var pagearBigImg = "', $modSettings['pageear_big_url'], '";
var pagearBigSwf = "/pageear/pageear_b.swf";

Ι Have to admit that my knowledge of php is very limited so i can do it myself. If in the near future along with On / Off Switch, u can implement a feature like that (as i see others too would like to have it), will be awesome

As long as you followed the steps correctly and you have checked your website's source (Ctrl+U for windows) and you see the pagepeel script being called and the url's are correct it should display on all pages.

Yea just replace the image path with your PHP script. I don't see why it wouldn't work
