Custom Module Wrapper Question

[ArnyVee]

Hey folks,

I've got some custom wrappers done now for my vBadvanced page (www.WaltDisneyBoards.com), but I've lost the little 'titles' within the wrapper.

As you can see on the homepage, I've got the wrappers, but nothing "on" them as far as the title of the module / block.

Does anyone know how I can reclaim my titles?

Looks to be a template issue more than anything. There are slews of validation errors when checked by the validator, and I wouldn't be suprised if it might be causing the problem.

Shelby, when I don't have the custom wrappers, the titles are showing fine. Do you still think that this could be a template issue?

Likely your custom wrapper template is missing the variables for the title to be displayed.

Check your template to see if anything like this is in it...

<span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_style[portal_blockbullet] <if condition="$mods['link']"><a href="$mods[link]">$mods[title]</a><else />$mods[title]</if></strong></span>

If nothing like that is in there, then copy & paste that chunk of code into your custom wrapper template to where you would like the title to appear.

Kevin, I think that's what's missing. Now, just need help where to put it.

Here's my code....where do I put it if I want it to display within the image itself? Or, is that possible?

$mods[formcode]

<div style="padding-bottom:$vba_style[portal_vspace]px">


<table align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"><tr><td width="13"><img src="http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/images/vbawrapper/vtopl.gif"></img></td><td width="100%" class="bordertop"></td><td width="13"><img src="http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/images/vbawrapper/vtopr.gif"></img></td></tr>


<tr><td class="borderleft"></td>


<td>

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">   





	<tbody id="collapseobj_module_$mods[collapse]" style="$modcollapse">


			<if condition="$show['tablerow']">
				<tr>
					<td class="$bgclass">
						$modulehtml
					</td>
				</tr>
			<else />
				$modulehtml
			</if>
		</tbody>
	</table>

</td>

<td class="borderright" width="13"></td></tr>
<tr><td width="13"><img src="http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/images/vbawrapper/vbotl.gif"></img></td><td width="100%" class="borderbottom"></td><td width="13"><img src="http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/images/vbawrapper/vbotr.gif"></img></td></tr>
</table>

</div>

Oh...and how do I make them into actual links?

[ArnyVee]

Okay, I played around and seemed to have it in an acceptable place, but I'm still wondering if the titles can be added within the actual image and whether they can be made into links.

Thanks for the help so far Kevin.

Hi ArnyVee

Please try this...

$mods[formcode]
<div style="padding-bottom:$vba_style[portal_vspace]px">
  <table align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
    <tr>
      <td width="13"><img src="http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/images/vbawrapper/vtopl.gif"></img></td>
      <td width="100%" class="bordertop">
<span style="font-weight: bold; size:auto; color: #ffffff;">">&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>$vba_style[portal_blockbullet] <if condition="$mods['link']"><a href="$mods[link]">$mods[title]</a><else />$mods[title]</if></strong></span>
</td>
      <td width="13"><img src="http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/images/vbawrapper/vtopr.gif"></img></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="borderleft"></td>
      <td><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
          <tbody id="collapseobj_module_$mods[collapse]" style="$modcollapse">
            <if condition="$show['tablerow']">
            
            <tr>
              <td class="$bgclass"> $modulehtml </td>
            </tr>
            <else />
          $modulehtml
          </if>
          
          </tbody>
          
        </table></td>
      <td class="borderright" width="13"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td width="13"><img src="http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/images/vbawrapper/vbotl.gif"></img></td>
      <td width="100%" class="borderbottom"></td>
      <td width="13"><img src="http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/images/vbawrapper/vbotr.gif"></img></td>
    </tr>
  </table>

Oh, that's close!

It kinda throws off the wrapper just a tad though (adds a small space between the top and sides) and I have to use smaller font because it makes it go to two lines (and subsequently breaks the wrapper) on some of the smaller modules.

I'll get a screenshot later as I'm out the door to run an errand. But, thanks for the attempt! Maybe we can tweak it as we go here and get it perfect!

[protoss]

<span style="font-weight: bold; size:auto; color: #ffffff;"> ">&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>$vba_style[portal_blockbullet] <if condition="$mods['link']"><a href="$mods[link]">$mods[title]</a><else />$mods[title]</if></strong></span>

Above is the line you need to tweak

Please try this. (to change the color alter #ffffff)

<span style="font-weight: bold; size:auto; color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;<strong> <if condition="$mods['link']"><a href="$mods[link]">$mods[title]</a><else />$mods[title]</if></strong></span>

remove

[ArnyVee]

protoss, that's nearly perfect!

Check out the page for that small space between the top and side of the custom wrapper though..... www.WaltDisneyBoards.com

Any idea as to why that's doing that? And, more importantly, what can I do to fix it? Thank you so much for helping so far!

Looks like you just need to remove the   code.

<span style="font-weight: bold; size:auto; color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;<strong> <if condition="$mods['link']"><a href="$mods[link]">$mods[title]</a><else />$mods[title]</if></strong></span>

[protoss]

Yes that could be it Brian, or the font size perhaps. However I've noticed a mistake in my code. You already have the font weight declared in the vBa code so there's no need for the font-weight in the span class.

ArnyVee please try...

<span style="font-size:11px; color: #0557A3;">&nbsp;<strong><if condition="$mods['link']"><a href="$mods[link]">$mods[title]</a><else />$mods[title]</if></strong></span>

or

 
<span style="font-size:12px; color: #0557A3;">&nbsp;<strong><if condition="$mods['link']"><a href="$mods[link]">$mods[title]</a><else />$mods[title]</if></strong></span>

If neither of the above work then try it without the

The first one worked

Thank you so much sir!
