Challenge Add New Page

Postby Sniper_E » 14 Jun 2008, 04:39

I have never added a new page in the forums. This is a challenge for myself.
Not counting the table less template. I know I failed there.

I put this together flying by the seat of my pants.
Could you maybe look at it on your local and tell me how I did?

Add these codes in your overall_header.html
Spoiler:
Paste these codes between the <head> </head> tags.
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
   var reloadInterval = 60;
   var reloadCounter = 1;
   var doCountdown = 0;

   doCountdown = 1;
   function runclock()
   {
      reloadCounter = reloadCounter - 1;
           
      if (doCountdown)
         document.getElementById('counter').clock.value = reloadCounter;
           
      if (reloadCounter < 1)
         reload();
           
      timerID = setTimeout("runclock()", 1000);
   }
         
   function reload()
   {
      var now = new Date();
      var camimage0 = document.camimage0.src;
      var splitIndex = camimage0.indexOf("?");
           
      if (splitIndex > -1)
         camimage0 = camimage0.substring(0, splitIndex);

      document.camimage0.src = camimage0 + "?" + now.getTime();
      reloadCounter = reloadInterval;
   }
//-->
</script>

Add the onload= code inside the <body> tag.
Code: Select all
<body onload="runclock()">    
And then copy these file to your server.

Error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function activity_mod() in W:\project\webcam.php on line 116

Just kidding :lol: I don't have the activity mod on my local :rotfl:

Nice work sniper !

I think they are going to want the language file in the mods directory though.
$user->setup('mods/webcam');

<div align="center"> thats a no no in a prosilver style because it's not valid for XHTML strict

either use inline CSS style="text-align: center;"
or set up a class for it.

Then that activity_mod(); line on line 116 can come out, right?

And that prosilver page could use some of your handy work. style="text-align: center;" sounds better than adding a class.
It would be better to use the classes prosilver already has than adding classes. Would you do that page topdown?

The chat uses $user->setup('chat'); so I used $user->setup('webcam'); for this. That should be OK. What you say Francis?

OK, webcam.zip has been updated on the first post.

subsilver2 validation is good.
I just don't know what to do with prosilver.
It's down to 1 error which does not show up in subsilver2's validation. Strange....
They both use the same codes which shows that error in prosilver.
topdown, that's some of your work in here too, hmmmm, maybe it's you! :P

My challenge was adding a page in phpBB3 with all it's parts needed. I guess I did OK.
Did I over do it somewhere? Did I not take all the correct steps?
Actually, I should have posted this in here: viewtopic.php?p=4479#p4479

In your language file replace,
Code: Select all
name="camimage0"

with,
Code: Select all
id="camimage0"


The name attribute is not valid xhtml strict.

It will validate in prosilver once that is done - :good:

Cool, I'll try that. That is part of the timer script in the header so I'll try to change them all together.
Actually, I wish I could put that timer script in the ./webcam.php file. But.... one thing at a time.

:yahoo: Did it, validated it and the mouseover still works. It's all good in the validation area now! Thanks CoC!
