[ickleo Vince]

Hi i like this ticker

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

[websponge James]

[ickleo Vince]

Hi basically this is the players.php file i have and it just opens into a blank webpage at the moment. http://www.ickleo.co.uk/players

Would just like to see if these results could be implemented into the ticker

Code: Select all

<?
   $ip=""; //IP address of server
   $port=; //Port for remote access
   $user= ""; // SuperAdmin Login
   $pass= ""; // SuperAdmin Password

    require("includes/GbxRemote.inc.php");
    require("classes/tmfcolorparser.inc.php");

    $client = new IXR_Client_Gbx;
    $colors= new tmfcolorparser;

    if (!$client->InitWithIp($ip,$port)) {
       echo'An error occurred - '.$client->getErrorCode().":".$client->getErrorMessage();
    }
    if (!$client->query("Authenticate", $user, $pass)) {
       
       print "login failed !<br/>";
    }
    if($client->query('GetStatus')) {
       $Status = $client->getResponse();
       }
    if($client->query('GetPlayerList',500,0)) {
       $Players = $client->getResponse();
       }
    if($client->query('GetServerOptions')) {
       $ServerOptions = $client->getResponse();
       $servername=$ServerOptions['Name'];
       $MaxPLayers=$ServerOptions['CurrentMaxPlayers'];
       }   
    $pl=0;   
    foreach ($Players as $player) {
       $pl++;
       }
    if($client->query('GetCurrentChallengeInfo')) {
       $CurrentChallengeInfo = $client->getResponse();
       $trackname=$CurrentChallengeInfo['Name'];   
       }
       
    //Taking game info
    if($client->query('GetCurrentGameInfo')) {
       $GetCurrentGameInfo=$client->getResponse();
       $GameMode=$GetCurrentGameInfo["GameMode"];
    }

    //Formatitng GAme Mod
    switch($GameMode){
       case 0:
          $GameMode="Rounds";
          Break;
       case 1:
          $GameMode="Time Attack";
          Break;
       case 2:
          $GameMode="Team";
          Break;
       case 3:
          $GameMode="Laps";
          Break;
       case 4:
          $GameMode="Stunts";
          Break;
       case 5:
          $GameMode="Cup";
          Break;
    } 



foreach ($Players as $player) {
$PlayerLogin = $colors->toHTML($player['NickName']);
echo "$PlayerLogin<br />";
}
    ?>

I was able to make them click able.
All you have to do is

Open includes\functions.php
Find:

Code: Select all

   'NEWS_FORUM' => $config['news_forum'],
   'NEWS_WORLD' => $config['news_world'],
   'NEWS_SPORT' => $config['news_sport'],

Replace with:

Code: Select all

      'NEWS_FORUM' => html_entity_decode($config['news_forum']),
      'NEWS_WORLD' => html_entity_decode($config['news_world']),
      'NEWS_SPORT' => html_entity_decode($config['news_sport']),

However there is 1 issue of it only allows 100 characters. If you want to allow more just change this 'type' => 'text:25:100' to this 'type' => 'text:25:<how ever many you like>'

[websponge James]

clickable? where does the link go then? its just static text written in the ACP

[jdrechsler]

You don't do anything different lol.
You just put in the same as if you were making a link, so in the ACP you put in

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>

and it gets stored like this in the database

Code: Select all

<a href="www.google.com">Google</a>

Its just that when thats sent back to the forum, it comes out as text, it looks right but it doesn't make it HTML. The command html_entity_decode(); turns in back into HTML once it is pulled out of the database.

I am still looking for a way to move it from the ACP, so that others can update it.

Think that is possible?
I am currently looking into making a hidden div that will have the places to to enter new information and color hex, I just don't know if you can do the change from outside of the ACP.

If I can get the div working, then I just need to do the set_config function and I should be able to get it.

[jdrechsler]

ok well I created a way to do it when not in the ACP

Open styles\prosilver\templates\overall_header.html

set_config('news_world',$news_world);
set_config('sport_color', $sport_color);
set_config('news_sport', $news_sport);

}
//end news mod

I am sure there is a better way to do the set_config(), but this is how I got it working. Now a fair amount of this you can adjust depending on where you want it and how you want it to look

Hey jdrechsler, i couldnt find this

Code: Select all

<p class="{S_CONTENT_FLOW_END}<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --> rightside

in overall_header.html but i did find it in index_body.html, is that correct??

I tried putting it in the index_body.html but it looked a bit of a mess to be honest. I originally thought your code was for MoDs to be able to change the News ticker but according to my test forum anyone could see it.

Guess it was worth a try mate Would be good to see this MoD updated as i think its great, i really need to have so my MoDs can change it without giving them admin powers.
