TP1.0.6--newsfader

[DarkAngel612]

I am just finding out that some of my members do not see the fader....fading out from one news item to the other.

Myself and some others ahve tested it with Firefox (current version) and IE and so far IE is the cuplrit.

Is there anything that i can do to let it fade in and out for the die hard Internet Explorer users 

I forgot to add that it is the Fantasy Attic link below and with all the themes not just the default smf one

This is more a SMF issue if its also in default theme.

well from the time of posting i finally went in there to actually test each theme myself ---just to make sure...lol

too many saying this one and that one so the final count is these themes are the naughty ones:
Blaze by Crip
Invazion by Bloc 
Xmas10 by DzinerStudio  -- this one is just for others that may experience the problem but it will be deactivated soon anyway...was just up for Christmas


Any idea what I need to look for?

SMf functions are supported on SMF forums.
Ask them what you need to add to the other themes,

One issue if I recall, is that any color code in the style.css file was the short version, the fader wouldn't work. In the themes that you have this problem in, look in the style.css file to see if you have any of the short version of color codes. For example:

You may find something that has a font color set by doing this:
color: #000;

Change ALL short versions (only 3 characters) to the full length versions (6 characters) and see if that fixes the issue. If not, then you're best off asking at SMF I think.

color: #000000;

thanks IchBin...that will be what i do now check the css file then off to smf I go to hound them for an answer...lol

[DarkAngel612]

alright...seems there are others and their recommendation is to contact the creators of the themes that are not functioning with the fading. So that is what I will do...so Bloc....what do you suggest?

now to find Crip and DzinerStudio contact info...lol

Look in the default themes files and take the fader code from there, add it manually to the themes that dont have the code.

[DarkAngel612]

Code Select Expand

/ Show a random news item? (or you could pick one from news_lines...)
if (!empty($settings['enable_news']))
echo '
<td width="90%" class="titlebg2">
<span class="smalltext"><b>', $txt[102], '</b>: ', $context['random_news_line'], '</span>
</td>';

that is what i transferred over but it did not help...is that the right code?

No, thats the quick news code. You need the code located in BoardIndex.template.php.

The code in Invazion theme should work..but do try this: rename the file BoardIndex.template.php in Invazion theme folder to something other, then refresh. If Invazion theme then still do not render the fader, your default theme is faulty. If it does render then, keep the file renamed.
