Michaelo's Mods

[Michaelo]

Just a page holder for some mods I have built (and mods in production).
Current:

Stargate Portal... The original and the best portal for phpBB 3. (95%)
User Country Flag... Added to Registration, UCP, Posts, etc... (100%)
Post bbcode Images II... Replace text buttons in posting with images... complete rework (98%)
Change Style Changes the style (assuming you have more than one), automatically i.e. not submit needed...
Hide/Show Anything you like, includes cookie setting and reading...
Random Logos Random Site Logos. This version allows each themes to have a different set of random logos. (100%)

All the above mods can be found @ http://www.phpbbireland.com/forum/
Latest Additions:

Highslide Image loader Another attachments image loader (in posts and possibly in future album)... very cool...
Test Link: http://www.phpbbireland.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=191 Test, awaiting licence info...
Last Post Link: Add the last post title and link to viewforums...

Note code based on functions will be replaced at a later stage with bbcode... (after the phpBB bbcode updates are complete).
Function based updates:

[you] Function... Replaces [you] with the 'viewers username' in posts. Acts like a bbcode, draw the attention of the member to something...
[far] Function... Finds and Replaces key words in post with pre-determined text (acronym)

to make it easy on you, the real name can be a custom profile field? it's really easy to do in phpBB3 and you can make it required on registration.
As for the others
Sniper has already used the post bbcode images on sniper_pro
Looks great

[Michaelo]

Thanks Handyman, I will use the custom profile field for the Real name, have updated the Post bbcode Images for the prosilver... including a few more images... wonder if Sniper has them... must look...

Question... Have you come across any code to change styles in the most recent code changes? I seem to remember there was at least on reference to it but I can't find anywhere it is being used...

I?m not sure what you are asking here.
Are you trying to find out what template changes have been made since Beta5?

[Michaelo]

In the new prosilver template there is mention of a change style somewhere in the code... It would appear even if it is not currently being employed it will be at a later stage... I can't for the life of me find the code reference now... could also be in an updated php file... oh for a memory

you're talking about the styleswitcher.js that they recently put there? I can't find where it's actually used except for text resizing.
There is a lot of stuff in there that doesn't seem to do much

[Sniper_E]

Is that the little A in the right of the breadcrumb? That button does nothing for me.
That button needs to be a little S which would switch you through the different styles on a forum.

[Michaelo]

Handyman that's the one... (thanks!) Perhaps they are going to provide a switch which will allow changing stylesheets for minor variations... Actually this could do the same thing as changing a complete style are all styles are css based...

Sniper, the little A should change your font size if even a little... barley noticeable on mine

[Michaelo]

Change Style Code:
Require no submit button... just select from drop down list and that's it. Normally this code is in a block, but you can place it in the index.php...

The php file...

Spoiler:

Code: Select all
