HTML for proboards 5.0/ images?

[raynee]

Hi I was wondering where I could insert the HTML code for a music player
on proboards 5.0. Also I was wondering how I could change the pictures
to the links such as "Home, Members, etc" like in the old version?

Hi, raynee.

If you find a code online for a music player, you can place it in Structure > Headers & Footers.

You can change the menu items to images using this plugin.

[raynee]

Thank you! That's exactly what I'm looking for. But is there a way to disable a certain menu item?

[Brian]

Settings > Forum Settings > Navigation

Untick the checkbox next to any of your menu items. You can also add new menu items from there.

[raynee]

Thank you so much for your help!
I also have another question, I am trying to use the left side bar from sidebar redux however it shifts the entire forum to the right?

[Brian]

Did you enter the width as a number or did you add px to the end?

All widths, margins, spacing, etc. should be typed like so:

200px
150px
10px

Etc...


If you're not sure exactly how something should be typed in any of the fields, I always provide examples via the tooltip right next to the field name in my plugins.

I was looking at this support.proboards.com/attachment/download/3718 picture but my side bars have no spacing with the rest of the forums. Its like it takes up space and makes the rest of the forums more compacted?

[Brian]

Can you link to the forum in question? I can pinpoint what's going wrong.

In the plugin's settings page, click on the Other Settings tab. Add a value to Forum Spacing. This determines the space between your forum and the sidebars.

I personally like to set it to 10px, as that's the default vertical distance between containers in V5.

[raynee]

oh! That does do the trick. Thank you! But, is there a way to move the sidebars more towards the left?

Is it possible to enter the width as a percentage?  In HTML you can do width=98% and it will autosize to the width of your browser.

Based on how the plugin works, this isn't possible.

The sidebar is contained within a table, so setting the width to a percentage would cause it to be a percentage of the table cell it's contained in, rather than the width of the forum as a whole. It's possible to change the plugin's source code to make percentage widths work, but you'd lose the ability to use the Fixed Positioning setting in the process.

I see. Thanks for your help. On my forum (http://zerono.proboards.com/) I placed the shoutbox on the side but how do I remove that extra title catagory above the shoutbox?

1. Change that box's style to Style 2. This removes the title bar.

2. Add this to the box's content.

<style type="text/css">
    #shout > .content-box { border: 0; background: transparent; padding: 0 !important; }
</style>
