[poseidon]

everything went smooth except for on my link page I must have done something wrong. Can you take a peek and see if you know right off hand whats wrong

There isn't a table around the code, and I noticed on your demo there is.

Thanks for sharing BTW, I could have never done this on my own.

Oh sry :s lol I will update the file so it has a frame :P my bad

[poseidon]

no problem man, I thought maybe I did something to it while I was customizing it to my site. Let me know when you've updated and will it be obvious to me what I'll need to add to my exisiting code to frame the code?

[BoNfiRe]

try the new zip .... :) let me know how it goes too ;)

[poseidon]

worked great man, thanks for the code :D

[mholtum]

worked great man, thanks for the code :D you need to add a <br /> at the end of your code.. Notice there is no space between the two modules??

[poseidon]

not sure what you mean man, where is there no space?

[mholtum]

Between the Navigation Module and the link to us module..

[poseidon]

I'm seeing a break there when I view it. The only break I don't have (that I know of) is between the navigation and search and thats because I wanted them butted up against each other. :confused:

[mholtum]

I didnt join so anyone not logged in will see this

[poseidon]

wow!, alright, tell me if this fixed it? Thanks BTW.

[mholtum]

Yup looks good!

[mholtum]

Ok, Added the module. But I obviously did something wrong.. Http://www.ravensrealm.net. I know the images dont work.
The "Add your site" link just refreshes to my portal page... ARGH!

[poseidon]

I was having that problem to and I figured out that I had to remove the "/" at the end of the URL to get to the page. Don't know if that will help or not. It took some work but I got mine running pretty good. Also, did you make sure your Custom Page Content is checked?

Yes in the Center column Custom Page Content is checked.. I will check the "/" see if that works.. Thanks

What am I doing wrong??

[mholtum]

Ok, I figured I botched it up so I
1: Deleted the "Link Us" Page.
2: Deleted the Module.
3: Erased both the adv_portal_links_us & the adv_portal_links template.
4: Re-Edited the two templates code in note pad & "cut & pasted" all the code, named the templates & saved.
5: Created another Custom Page with the Following information:
5a:Page Title: Link Us
5b:Page Identifier: link
5c:Page Template: adv_portal_link_us
5d:Default Style
5e:Modules Enabled: "Center Column" checked Custom Page Content
5f:Unchecked News and News Archive
5g:Everything else is set to "Use Default"

IT STILL WON'T WORK! ARGH!

[BoNfiRe]

Not too sure where u are going wrong ..... here we go ......

First the scrolling block

Create a new template titled adv_portal_link_us and put the following code into it:<!-- Scrolling/Fading Links -->

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Affiliates</strong></span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" width="100%">

Now you need to click add a new module in your adv CMPS and use the following info:
Module Title: Link Us
OR Template to Include: link_us
Active: Yes

Don't forget to adjust the display order and column

Save now u have done it. If you are still having problems email/PM me a temp admin account, and I will do it for you. :)

[mholtum]

You have IM

[mholtum]

Now it doesn't even show up on my page.

[BoNfiRe]

ok this was a problem with what you had named the files ( you named the file adv_portal_links_us and u added link_us when adding the module ) also in the scrolling block u deleted some of the code causing problems ;)

[mholtum]

So, what should I do to fix this?

[BoNfiRe]

Having a problem with adding the link us custom page it is there but when I go to http://www.ravensrealm.net/index.php?page=link it changes the template and won't show ( I think this may be one for Brian ) works fine on my site but i'm only using one template style.

[BoNfiRe]

So, what should I do to fix this?
It is fixed now I think ;) btw what template are you using by default cos I changed grey as that was the default when I got there

[mholtum]

I use Grey dy default, but if you change the vbulletin3 template, it trickles down to all the others automatically

[BoNfiRe]

I use Grey dy default, but if you change the vbulletin3 template, it trickles down to all the others automatically
kool well as for the general block umm it seems the clock isn't working :( did you edit the file again ?

None of the blocks are showing now :confused:

[BoNfiRe]

ok bud do you have msn if so add me rt_bonfire@hotmail.com and I will discuss with you all the changes u want doing then get it working properly

[mholtum]

Dude you rock! I really appreciate your time and effort to get this working for me..

[BoNfiRe]

yw bro glad to help :)

[kall]

ok this was a problem with what you had named the files ( you named the file adv_portal_links_us and u added link_us when adding the module )
That would be because that is exactly what your instructions say to do.

You may want to update the txt file in the attachment.

ok my bad a typo :rolleyes: lol updated :) thx for pointing that out kall

[NeroTheWarlord]

I think your instructions are messed up man... might want to check 'em....

It's not working for me... I think maybe you messed 'em up with the last update you made...

[Kac]

I have never gotten this to work. HMMM

[venomx]

Small question.. If you already have the Link Us hack why do you need another custom page?
