eFloating Bar Mod for Guests & Members

[LinK187]

I have the same problem, it's properly installed and doesn't work. Nothing appears.

Here's my theme's index.template.php:

Your attached index.template.php looks fine, however give me your forum link to have a look on it.

I pmed you a link.

Thanks Ricky,

I see.
Mistake from me, must put the html code into the message box and not try to push it in the css code
Make my code with VisualPage and now I can create finest popups

I am using 1.14

Some of the files the package manager needs to modify are not writable. This needs to be changed by logging into FTP and using it to chmod or create the files and folders. Your FTP information may be temporarily cached for proper operation of the package manager.

I got this message.............. when try to install it.............

So make the folder(s) writeable.

Well, I have it working for the default theme, but I need it to work for LiveCity!

Can you provide a list of file edits?

Ricky, this looks like a great mod!

Very cool Mod Installed clean, can your post up your entire code for the floating window to give an example of how and where to put in the HTML code that show the links and everything?

Thank you in advance

How can we make it so that if a guest closes it, it won't pop back up on every page load? Or something like that.

Wrote this some articles before !

Put your html code in the message box ( guest or logged user ).
If you have a webpage prgram like dreamweaver, frontpage etc, copy the source code into the message box and give it a try

Hi ricky ive installed this with no errors or problems. can i ask one thing please. how on earth do you do a full bar with links in and that like the one in the screen shot. Im using SMF 1.1.7

[coucnilhomeswap]

also please note that i had to create a scripts folder on my site as the default theme does not have one. you may want to add that to your installation instructions.

Use the source code of your webpage creator.

For a link "Robinson Club" (bold and large) you must copy in the message box :


<P><B><A HREF="http://robinsonclub.com"><FONT SIZE="5">Robinson Club</FONT></A><FONT SIZE="5"></FONT></B></P>

And so on...........

using your FTP find the files that arent writeable, right click on it, select permisions and change it to 777

./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php or ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english-utf8.php if you use that
./Sources/ModSettings.php
./Themes/default/index.template.php

it doesnt state which files tho its got to be the same as manual install tho isnt it?

[bullbreedluverz]

just added the actual files but yes its the same as manual edit files - check the file permissions for those and see if they are 777

[marchingelite2]

ok ive done that and its installed, but now i got this on the very top of my page

//eFloatingbar for SMF by Ricky. $txt['admin_efloatingbar'] = 'eFloating Bar for SMF - Settings'; $txt['efloatingbar_user_style'] = 'Place your Custom CSS Here'; $txt['efloatingbar_text_guest_default'] = 'Welcome Guest , please login or register'; $txt['efloatingbar_text_logged_default'] = 'Hey ya!

i am going to replace the files that i altered and see if it goes away, also replace the different theme files too..

any other suggestions?

Thanks again

ok guys a little tip for you. If your getting errors saying some files need to be writable. goto Themes/default and create a folder called "scripts" and chmod it to 777. that should help you out.
