I don't understand how you could lose any content like that considering you have to manually save the plugin for any changes to be done to it.

I've not experienced that myself. Does that happen anywhere you press those keys? Are you sure the text wasn't highlighted or something?

As I'm entering new content, if I use the back space, the information simply disappears. Since it's just being added, there's nothing to save, because the information is being inputted. 

It's tough to explain. I got in all the boxes I needed to, eventually, and it's working fine. But it's something I've never experienced. And I have several of your plug-ins, including the side bar. 

I managed to duplicate this and I will add it as a bug for the devs.

It seems to be specific to Chrome, however, which is why I didn't notice it myself.

It wouldn't give me a chance to save it, could it be because I pasted the HTML code and was trying to go back and change it to what I wanted it to display?

Erm... can you go into more detail? I don't understand what you're trying to explain.

[mrlamont]

Sorry.. I pasted a HTML code into the content section and when I tried to edit it, the code I pasted disappeared.


Edit: Just found the problem, when I press the back space button it keeps deleting the entire code instead of the section I want to change.

In that case, that would fall under the same Chrome bug that Luv was having, which I've reported to the devs as of my previous post.

mrlamont, yes, the back space was a problem for me, too. Wipes out everything. 

And thank you, Brian, I do use Chrome as my browser of choice. I'm glad you were able to duplicate the problem. And for now, if I need to make additions/corrections, I'll use FF.

Err...

Regarding the dissapearing things: I'm using FF 21.0, and happened to me with Backspace, or even with the left/right arrow.
I have to be more specific next time, so I can post it properly, but in general:

I have a text (like the colours and size)
I copy from the previous message
I copy to the new message
Scroll up and left (I keep the left pressed) in order to be in the beginning of the old text to enter a new
all that box (message) dissapears.

I could reproduce it: I saved before doing it.
I select, copy, paste in a new place
With the mouse I can put my cursor wherever I want, but ANY cursor arrow I press, the complete box dissapears. (It happens when I release the key) UP-Down-Left-Right and Backspace

Another question: I downloaded Wormopolis Clock Plugin .
There says:

simply puts a runtime clock anywhere on your forum you have a element id="liveclock"

has class="liveclock" if you want to add any CSS

by Wormopolis

I just can't figure this out, sorry. How can I add this in the Title of the News? or in a message?

Thx

[Wormopolis]

well I never really tested it in a post because I honestly didnt see a reason someone would want a live clock sitting in a post.

put this in a header somewhere:

<div id="liveclock"></div>

you should see it get replaced.

if you want it to appear in newsfader, then liveclock would have to happen AFTER newsfader plugin

Great!! Now it works !

Edit: Is not exactly in a post, is in the News info. When you play an international on line game, and make some events, you need to put a base Time Zone so anybody can be there. For me is the Game Time Zone, but anyway, thx a lot.

just a question Brian   ,,where it says newest -user at the top of the code.. Is there anyway to change that to "Newest Board Member" ?


<span id="newest-user" style="display: none;">$[newest_user]</span>
<span id="last-thread" style="display: none;">$[last_updated_thread]</span>
<script type="text/javascript">
fContent.push('Last Updated Thread: '+document.getElementById('last-thread').innerHTML);
fContent.push('Welcome to our newest member, '+document.getElementById('newest-user').innerHTML+'!');
</script>

You'd need to change the part inside the Javascript portion of the code.

I recommend using this updated version.

<span id="newest-user" style="display: none;">Welcome to our newest user, $[newest_user]!</span>
<span id="last-thread" style="display: none;">Last Updated Thread: $[last_updated_thread]</span>
<script type="text/javascript">
fContent.push(document.getElementById('last-thread').innerHTML);
fContent.push(document.getElementById('newest-user').innerHTML);
</script>

So if I just want the last thread, I would simply use this?

<span id="last-thread" style="display: none;">Last Updated Thread: $[last_updated_thread]</span>
<script type="text/javascript">
fContent.push(document.getElementById('last-thread').innerHTML);
</script>

and it will show in the Fader?

[Brian]

That'll do it. You just need to remember to place it in the Home template of your theme.

Lol, that just discouraged me! Not with the amount of themes I have.

All good now Brian... Thank you!

Brian, I think I may have found another bug. I placed a Father's Day Banner in the fader. I removed it today. But now the box has a long pause where the content once was. I think it's because there is now a container without copy. Is there any way to remove that container? The pause comes after the "Guests, please register copy. 

Thanks.

Can you expand a bit more on that? I'm afraid I don't understand.
