Re: News Fader

Hope this is the right topic to post this in:

Can anyone tell me how I can move the news fader (sy-box) out of the main_content section? I wasn't able to figure out in which php file this is defined. The BoardIndex.template.php only shows how the the news slider is structured but not in the context of the whole page and it also starts with the smf_slider class instead of the sy-box which the former is part of (at least according to the Dev tools). Is there a file for the news slider at all?

boardindex.template.php gets combined with index.template.php to build the display...   so, what you are asking is moderately complicated.

where did you want to move the newsfader to?

Yeah, I was told to search the forum first, so whenever I find a topic that is somehow related to my subject, I use those so to not clutter the forum with redundant threads. Sorry.

The issue I'm having is that, on the boardindex, the linktree (navigate section) gets attached to the newsfader when enabled because I put the linktree inside the main_content in order show up directly above the main content in each topic/message.
So, I'd like to either move it before "main_content" or "content_section".

It would be also great if I could edit the sy-box itself as well so that I can insert an individual header directly there. The way I currently do it is putting a div right before smf_slider, because I was unable to locate the file for sy-box.

Code Select Expand

  // Show the news fader?  (assuming there are things to show...)
   if (!empty($settings['show_newsfader']) && !empty($context['news_lines']))
   {
      echo '
      <div id="news" class="news_fade">We have news!</div>
      <ul id="smf_slider" class="roundframe_slider">';

I could put another linktree inside the boardindex.template and block the display for the fader via css but I thought there might be a more efficient way.

I don't think sy_block is a part of the default theme....  are you using the default theme?

Please provide a link to your site so that we can take a look at your existing markup?

Hi Kindred, thanks for your reply. Well, I do use another theme. However, when I switch back to the SMF default theme, there's also a sy-box. It was there before I started modding our customized theme.
