Please change the subject line to something more meaningful Wink

under the section

Now for some general rules of order and conduct:
- Make the subject/title of your post meaningful. A subject like I have a problem, HELP or something similar, is likely to be skipped over by most people. Think about it - Why else would you be posting here ROTFL

better raven

1- There are a couple of mods specifically designed for phpBB but im not sure how well they work with bbtonuke (inside RavenNuke), they'll probably need to be converted.

2- Adding that script is fairly easy, add it to your head or footer (footer is an alternative when loading the external script turns out to be slow).

I would suggest adding it to includes/javascript.php with a simple echo;

Code:

echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.wowhead.com/widgets/power.js"></script>'."\n";

Just add it above;

Code:

?>

P.s. I dont use RavenNuke myself so there might be better places to include it Wink

Install this Mod and we can go from there. It has the youtube bbcode among others. After you get that working we will see what we can do with the widget thing.

Ok I wasn't sure what this wowheadt thing was, but what do you mean by "adding a button to the post options"?

Because I don't see the point of a button (not sure what it would do), but what warren-the-ape posted above would work.

Sorry warren-the-ape you were correct, I did not understand exactly what this thing did.

i want a button in the post options like the code an url ones yu get for the pl that use me forums that arent soo good Razz

an need it to know it is there or how to use it

Palbin · Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2008 7:10 pm

Well the mod I posted above will give you bbcode for youtube andstuff, but you can't really do a button for this widget thing. Just add it site wide as was suggested above.

The 2 links i posted above should explain how to integrate that widget into phpBB as bbcode.

i installed this mod following the instructions to the letter an it seems to have messed up my forum it fills the posting box with Grey theme an loads of buttons :S

this is how firefox sees the mod

IE is the same but all the buttons are lined up the way they should be but still no posting box so you carnt see any txt that you write or even iff you are writing
this has complely stopped any posting abbility that i had Razz

I need you to post your template file

Palbin · Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2008 2:43 pm

Below I am posting a piece of code from a template that I am working on for another project. You will have to kind of figure out how to fit it in. If you post your template I can help you with it.

The code below will also have a colorbar mod installed when we get it working I will give you the javascript file that goes with it. It is a cool little mod.

Code:

<tr align="center">
<td colspan="{S_SMILIES_COLSPAN}" class="nav"><a href="{U_MORE_SMILIES}" onclick="window.open('{U_MORE_SMILIES}', '_phpbbsmilies', 'HEIGHT=325,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,WIDTH=800');return false;" target="_phpbbsmilies">{L_MORE_SMILIES}</a></td>
</tr>
