Glad you like it, Skidjit .

There should be a button (Review this plugin) under the bottom review. If it's not there, you may want to ask in support.

Can't wait to see what some of these dates show.

 Lynx Actually, I started a thread over in support several days ago because I noticed I don't have that "review" button on my screen. Someone over there said that I need to be signed in on my Global account. At that time, I noticed even though I'm signed in on that account for proboard sites, at the top of the plugin page it says I need to sign in. I've been busy over the past several days and so didn't get a chance to try again until this evening. UGH. I keep getting a redirect error screen, BUT ON THAT screen it shows I'm signed in up at the top, even though the error says I'm not.

Yep. I hope that tomorrow I will get to stay home and see what's going on with this. There's several plugins I want to leave my complements to.

(I have your update added to the Lounge. I'll check out how they work then. Sounds good so far. Thanks.)

No worries, Skidjit.

As a note of interest, if you're interested (and I think ldm68 was interested, last I knew), I've also got the General Notices variation done as well. I've got a support thread for it and it's in the library.

Naturally, I've got make a fix to it already. I noticed I never changed the text for the Title Bar Display option. Even though it has neither On This Date or On This Day, the description text still says: "This option will let you choose either On This Date or On This Day as the title in the title bar."

Oh well. At least that's a minor fix.

Hey, Skidjit ?

If you want it to affect all themes, put this in your Global Footer (Admin > Structure > Headers & Footers > Global Footer):


<style>
.msg-otd {
  border: none !important;
  margin-bottom: 1px !important;
}
</style>


That will make it effective on all themes.

Could I use this code for the new plugin?

[Lynx]

Skidjit,

By "new plugin" are you referring to this one updated, or the General Notices plugin? Keep in mind that the code above only adjusts the styling for all themes for it if placed in the global header / footer. The <div> still has to be added to the template of each theme (it can probably have some JS to make it run in the global header / footer also, but I don't know the coding for that one). If you're looking to add global styling for General Notices, the class name is "msg-gn".

[Skidjit]

Eek. You just lost me. No worries. I went ahead and got the General Notices plugin to work. I love it thanks.

[Lynx]

Sorry, Skidjit. Didn't mean to lose you there. Still working on my first cup of coffee.

If you want to add global styling for General Notices like On This Date, use the same code above, but replace .msg-otd with .msg-gn. So, if you want global styling for both plugins global, make this:


<style>
.msg-otd {
  margin-bottom: 1px !important;
}
</style>


into this:

<style>
.msg-otd {
  margin-bottom: 1px !important;
}
.msg-gn {
  margin-bottom: 1 px !important;
}
</style>


You no longer need the border: none !important; - as the border has been removed from the plugin's CSS.

[Skidjit]

OK... sounds good. Thanks Lynx

Boy_Wonder, ldm68, Skidjit

Not sure if all of you know, but version 1.0.4 is in the library. The OP has what was changed. Also, the General Notices version is done as well.

So, I've been fiddling with this and what I want is there just to be plain text that I can put into whatever div I want. I have gotten rid of everything except for some mysterious space below all of the text, about half a line or a full line's worth. Is there any css I can put in to get rid of that?

[Lynx]

atalkingfish,

There should be no spaces above or below if you didn't add them, as all of the hard-coded breaks have been removed. Even though the box you put the Event Description in is an HTML box, you can just put plain text in it. Are you using Version 1.0.4, or an earlier version?

Edit: I forgot there was a margin bottom there (I just looked at my code).

To affect all themes, put this in your Global Header:


<style>
.msg-otd {
  margin-bottom: 0px !important;
}
</style>


[Lynx]

atalkingfish,

Did that work for you?

[atalkingfish]

It got rid of the bottom margin, yes, but there is still some buffer around it. Just a couple pixels. I have reduced padding and margin down to zero on all classes.

There is no padding in my CSS, but you could try (if you haven't already) adding it into the class for it:

.msg-otd {
    margin-bottom: 0px !important;
    padding: 0px !important;
}

adding the part in green above. If that doesn't take care of it, I'll need a forum URL so I can take a look to debug. Feel free to PM it to me if you don't want to post it.

[atalkingfish]

I don't know what else I can do haha

.msg-otd .otdtitlebar {display: none; padding: none !important; margin: none !important; border: none !important;}
.msg-otd .otdcontainer {padding: none !important; margin: none !important; border: none !important;}
.msg-otd .otdcontent {padding: none !important; margin: none !important; border: none !important;}
.msg-otd {border: none !important; margin: none !important; padding: none !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;}

.msg-otd .otdcontent {padding: none !important; margin: none !important; border: none !important;}
.msg-otd {border: none !important; margin: none !important; padding: none !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;}

.otdtitlebar, .otdcontainer and .otdcontent - these are not classes that came with the plugin, so I'm assuming you have them in your stylesheet. If so, did you put those same class names without the preceding dot into the Advanced tab of the plugin? In the Advanced tab in the plugin, they should only be entered as otdtitlebar, otdcontainer and otdcontent. If you've got the dot in there, it won't target your classes properly.

Also, they don't get the .msg-otd put in front of them. If they are your own classes, they should be:


.msg-otd {
  margin-bottom: 0px !important;
  padding: 0px !important;
}
.otdtitlebar {
  display: none;
  padding: none;
  margin: none;
  border: none;
}
.otdcontainer {
  padding: none;
  margin: none;
  border: none;
}
.otdcontent {
  padding: none;
  margin: none;
  border: none;
}


Custom classes you put into the Advanced tab are not associated with the .msg-otd class. Your classes are probably not being applied because of that. Also, since they are your custom classes, the !important flag is not needed on them.
