Symantics Virus Alerts

[Chuckie]

This adds the Symantic Virus Alerts to a right or left column on your site.

Temporay Demo:
http://maysvillekybbs.com/index.php?maysbbs=tech

Got to here and setup the style and infomation to match your site.

http://securityresponse.symantec.com.../syndicate.cgi

Then in your Admincp add a new template called "adv_portal_virus".

Insert this code into the template:

<div align="left">
<table border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="210">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vboptions[blockbullet] Virus Alerts</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1"><span class="smallfont">
<fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px">
		<legend>Symantec Virus Alerts</legend>
		<div style="padding:0px">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%"> 
<tr>
<td width="100%">
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%"> 

{insert your symantec code here}

</table>
<br />
</table>
  </div>

Go to your Admincp - vba CMPS - Add Module

Module Title - Virus Alerts
Module Identifier - virus
OR Template to Include - virus
Make it active and select the column you want it in.
Save and you are done.

I added it to a tech page but you can add it to any page you like.

!!!!Please Note!!!!!!!!!!!!
Above is a custom block. If you want you board look to stay consistant use Brain's original Block for your cmps found here - http://www.vbadvanced.com/membersare...=5#generictemp

Thanks for sharing.
I've moved this thread since it's really an user contributed module.

[Chuckie]

Cool, I will get the hang of where to put it soon I hope. lol

[extremebetas]

How can I shrink the width of my symantec box to match my other boxes so they all match in size??

[Chuckie]

You can't. That is controled by the java supplied by Symantec on their servers. You can up you page module size from 175 to 210px in the default settings or on the cmps page your have it on. This will make the column bigger so that the other modules don't look out of place.

[Chuckie]

I'm using something similar from sophos, but the width works nicely for a left or right hand column.

template content:

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

Sophos has a very nice setup. I like it too.

Actually you can...it's just a matter of d/l the vir_display.js file from Symantec and making the changes, then calling it from your site....I will whip something up and post it as an updated module.

Another way to reduce the size of the module (easy) is to adjust the code in the adv_portal_virus to this:

<div align="left">
<table border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="172">

Then delete these lines of code:

<tr>
<td class="alt1"><span class="smallfont">
<fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px">
<legend>Symantec Virus Alerts</legend>
<div style="padding:0px">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100%">
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%">

Then download the vir_display.js file, save it, edit the font sizes down to 6 pt and save it in your forum directory and point it to that file in the module.

It doesn't look quite like the other modules on the page, but not enough of difference to matter I think.

Here it is on my site.

Another great module!! Thanks

[virtualburn]

A really nice addition to the Portal thank you very much.

~maybe there should be a section where all these addidtions are listed
