There are variables in the $[current_user] tree for both new messages and new participated threads, so that would be possible.
$[current_user.messages.new]
$[current_user.has_new_recent_threads]

Hi, Kami. In v5 the only way to acquire that data is by visiting the routes the data is displayed on where they're rendered as HTML. For this reason it wouldn't be possible to duplicate this functionality in v5. v6 differs in this regard because it has its own additional routes it makes requests to that are designed to obtain this specific information. Unfortunately, the route that fetches this data only functions in v6. |

Hi Is it possible to change the color of the category/top bar of the News Fader V4 so that it matches the "General Discussion" category bar (pale blue) on my forum rather than the purple default? Not a biggie, but I was hoping to alternate blue - purple - blue in the various sections. Thank you! The container includes its own class ( v4news) which allows you to customize the background color of its title bar by adding a new CSS rule to the end of Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet. .v4news > .title-bar {
background-color: #d3d2e1;
} |

Brian Is there any chance you could include the option to style field titles in this? Right now I am using this to style every individual field:
$(document).ready(function(){
if(pb.data('route').name.match(/edit_user/)){
$("label:contains('Roleplayer')").html('<div class="TITLECLASS">ROLEPLAYER</div>');
}
});
You should already be able to accomplish this with CSS alone since the div that surrounds the label already has a unique class. |

Brian , I would like to have the sidebar go under main content when on small screens. Is there a way to do this?
I have only one item in the sidebar, so there's no need to do for adding the id. The whole left sidebar to go under the main content on phones using desktop mode is what I want.
Thank you. The HTML layout of the sidebar isn't geared towards a responsive design so I don't think this would be possible without editing the source code of the plugin entirely. Sorry! Most stuff I've made for v5 has lived by the philosophy of "this is my forum's width and smaller devices will have to deal with it." Working on ProBoards v6 has made me a lot more responsive-aware, so this plugin will be much more considerate of screen size in whatever form it comes back as. |

Hello, Brian
Forum: webmastershaven.proboards.com/
How can I clean up the shoutbox, as it seems to have bits hidden, like the time and the send button is almost out of the block.
This is because the shoutbox only allows 100px of height for its controls. Since you've placed it in the sidebar and it doesn't have enough width to accommodate its buttons it has to move them to another line, moving the Send button past the height of the controls container. You can increase the width of the sidebar to accommodate the buttons or you can add CSS to the theme's style sheet to remove the height restrictions on that container. .shoutbox_container.orientation-top,
.shoutbox_container.orientation-bottom {
padding: 0;
}
.shoutbox_container > .shoutbox_form_container {
position: static;
}
.shoutbox_form {
height: auto;
} |

Hello guys I am looking for a way to put a (regular) container just below the regular news bar and on top of the boards / content containers. I want to fill this container with a bit of text, and image and maybe a link to a current thread or post (the idea is to make it kinda like a "featured news" container). Something like in the mock-up picture I attached to this post: I saw that the Sidebar Redux plugin (which we already use for our glorious sidebar) also has a "Header/Footer" tab in which I can insert text right at the place that I had in mind. But in that tab there are no container or style settings like in the actual sidebars. Does somebody has any advice on how to use that tab to put a clean container there? And where could I edit the styling of the container's text? All of the default containers on the forum as well as those created by this plugin use the same HTML. You can find it in this post: support.proboards.com/post/5541650It can be styled the same way as the other sidebar containers. |

That is to say, I couldn't get it to do a rollover effect for the current page. Your setup on both of these forums is actually quite different. On the older one each menu item consists of two images stacked together and there's extra CSS at the end of your theme's style sheet that tells the page how to display them when hovering over a menu item. This relies on a single image file, and since the CSS rules that control it are at the end of the style sheet they take precedence over any previous rules declared including any background settings specified for the current page button that come with the standard theme. On the newer forum you're using the options built into the standard theme to apply an extra background image that appears behind each of your menu images when hovering over them. However, the current page button has its own background settings specified which is telling the theme to treat it differently. Changing line 273 in your style sheet to this will probably fix it: @nav_bar_button_current_background: @empty; |

Hello I have tried to search for my question but cant seem to find it. Can I somehow add an overview over the PM/personal messages that the current user has and the unread ones? I found the part where I could insert avatar and name, but my javascript skills are non-existent. Best regards If something exists in the Forum Wrapper template you can move it into the sidebar using JavaScript. <script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#sidebar-element-id').append($('#container-element-id'));
});
</script>In the case of your personal messages you can create a container with a unique ID in the Forum Wrapper template that holds all of that information, then the JavaScript would move that container into the sidebar element with the corresponding ID. <div id="container-element-id">
Your personal messages content here
</div>If you're unfamiliar with how to create a container like this in the Forum Wrapper template I'd suggest asking how to create it in the Templates board. |

I don't know what I've done, but somehow it's mostly working now, except that I still can't get the rollover to work on the "current page". Everything looks to be in order when I visit your forum. Did you get this sorted out? |

Hi! If you're worried about the changes you make having a detrimental effect I suggest copying any code you're editing and saving it to a text file on your PC/device before editing it on the actual site so that you can simply copy the original version back over and try again if you discover a mistake. Backing up anything you're about to work on allows you to experiment to your heart's content without the lingering fear of irreversible catastrophic failure.  Anyways, moving on... Take a look at this bit that renders some of the existing fields: <div class="info" data-item="info">
<br>
<div data-item="gender">Gender: $[user.gender]</div>
<div data-item="location">Location: $[user.location]</div>
</div>If you want to add your new fields after this list you can duplicate one of the existing lines that produces those fields and change the part referencing the field's variable ID to that of the new field you added. You can repeat the process for each new field you want to add. This would result in something like this, which you can add to the end of the HTML for the Mini-Profile in the Profile HTML tab of the plugin: <div class="info">
<br>
<div data-item="personality_traits">Location: $[user.personality_traits]</div>
<div data-item="likes">Likes: $[user.likes]</div>
<div data-item="dislikes">Dislikes: $[user.dislikes]</div>
<div data-item="energy_level">Energy Level: $[user.energy_level]</div>
</div> |

Hello, I tried adding extra fields for the npc profile, but they don't appear. I added them through 'build plugin' on the 'npc list'. They appear in the list when I manage it, but not on the profiles on the forum. Am I skipping a step? Edit: Managed it. Now how do I get those some ields in the expansion?  You would do the exact same thing in the expansion plugin. |

Twitch Turbo is the only thing I'm subscribed to for the express purpose of not receiving ads. Somewhere down the line the site changed something on one of the more popular channels I watch where after a certain interval up to 8 consecutive video ads will play in the middle of their stream. The person who runs the channel has no control over when those particular ads play and there's no option as a viewer to rewind to see the minutes worth of whatever I missed thanks to ads, so that incentivized me to bite the bullet.
On the plus side I get no video ads anywhere, so even on smaller channels that don't have that problem I also get to avoid the video ad that everyone gets when first opening a stream.
It was kind of a last resort. When advertising gets to a point where I'm actually missing content it becomes inexcusable. Even TV ad breaks never had that problem.

I'm confused by an issue I'm having. This plugin is on two of my forums and it works perfectly. I've recently implemented it on another (admin-only theme while testing it out though settings etc are the same as default) yet each box, apart from the first one, is a different size instead of abiding to the specified "Left Sidebar Width" (200px). It seems to size itself depending on width of the title - or content, if no title. I don't know why. The settings are identical as set on my other sites, but they don't have this issue. Doesn't matter which style I use. Have I missed something or is there some CCS glitch somewhere - it's an older site with the problem, whereas the others are much newer? You have CSS near the beginning of Themes > Layout Templates > Home on that theme that's telling the page to make elements with the container class display as inline-block. Since that's the class used by each box in the sidebar the CSS is affecting their display since they normally display as block elements (the default for <div> elements). |

ProBoards isn't a self-hosted solution where you install the forum software on your own domain (all forums on our service are remotely hosted by us), so something like this isn't as simple to implement because we don't offer FTP access. The only upload functionality available on the user end of our service is the attachment system, and every attached file has to be tied to a post.
A plugin can be made to transform threads within one of the boards of the forum into a kind of upload gallery, but as anyone who has attempted a plugin like this can tell you there's only so far you can take it. In addition, the attachment limits of the free attachment plan would be met pretty quickly on a forum that primarily focuses on the distribution of files.
In conclusion, while a plugin like this is in at least some fashion viable you have to take into consideration that it would be working around the limits of the forum software and would thus most likely turn out a bit differently than what you had originally envisioned. Just letting you know what you're in for if someone takes on this plugin request.
