Scrolling Latest Post Module for SMF as in Nuke
« on: November 28, 2005, 01:30:25 PM »
Hello Can anyone tell me how i can make the latest posts in the module scroll (as in the phpbb mod in nuke) so that i can show upto 20 recent postsw without using too much space?

I think this is a much needed modification in this module.

Please help

that scrolling last posts bit in nuke is one of the most annoying and nauseating interface elements I've seen in a long time! LOL Cheesy

your best bet is to put the module output in an IFRAME with scrollbars on

An easier method might be to add a module class_suffix in the module configuration screen and then make the change in the stylesheet.  Something like this:


.module_suffix_name
{
  height:  Xpx;
  overflow: scroll;
}

You may need to specify a width or you might end up with unwanted left-right scrolling.

Yes, but when he swaps templates in and out he would have to remember to manually go in and edit the template and if he has multiple sites to administer or even just a local server and a web server then it get's to be a real pain and then if he has a problem on a test, he can't just zap the install and start again because he has to remember to copy the changes he made to the templates!


Sorry about the lack of punctuation in the post - my girlfriend is having her periods and apparantly took all of mine as well!

Can you please explain this more in detail. Like what are the changes i'll have to make in my theme & what has to be specified in module_suffix

Thanks

It was a good idea in theory, but I hacked at it a bit and was unable to get it to display like I thought it would.  And now I remember that the scrolling in Nuke was automatic.  Anychance you have the module from phpnuke that I could take a look at?  Might be something that could be built into this module.

Hello Wolverine,

Thanks for your appreciation of the site.

Here's a sample block from nuke.

<td class="area3-content"><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td><table width="95%" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td><a name=" scrollingCode"></a><marquee behavior=" scroll" align="center" direction="up" height="188" scrollamount=" 2" scrolldelay=" 20" onmouseover='this.stop()' onmouseout='this.start()'>


That is the code that the 'Nuke sites use - A Marquee tag

I must stress, that that behaviour is really nauseating and inaproppriate for a business site like yours. (IMPO)

Note also, that it does NOT allow for scrolling back , so that if someone sees something of interest, they HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE WHOLE BLOODY THING ROLLS AROUND. Useless animation/activity is very bad on websites ESPECIALLY when it confounds or blocks the user.

The scroll bar thing I pointed you to at Dynamic Thread is your best bet.
If you can wait till tomorrow, I'll put my code where my mouth is and try to implement it in that module thing! Cheesy

I could mod the current Recent Topics to include this functionality but you will have to give me a few days, maybe a week.  Gotta find time!  If only there were more hours in the day!

I'll wait for you jj, because I'm not thrilled about using marquee tags at all.   Tongue

Hello JJ, Wolverine,

Even i dnt like the idea of scrolling stuff too much ...But the users find it convinient as a lot of posts get posted everyday & people tend to miss out important topics. So i got requests for it. I'd be glad if you could mod the Module.

One more thing i miss being a Nuke user for over 3 years during which i heavily modded my site is the sitemap thing i found on a nuke site. Its basically a crawler script that crawls all the links on the site ( even integrated stuff like phpbb) & puts it in a great HTML format thats really cool for Search Engines. I am posting a copy of the file here...
Do you know anything similar available for Mambo.?

The other thing i miss is the tight integration between phpbb, the phpbb messaging system & nuke. The Block showing userinfo with a lot of stats & PMs was also great...Know any thing like that?
Here's a link to show what it is:
http://www.nukecops.com/

Thanks again

Parth, here it is.  JJ helped out and I took the modifications and did a reworking of much of the module.  The biggest feature is the addition of your PHPNuke marquee scrolling.  Try it out and tell me what you think.

**Tested only on Joomla 1.0.4**

Maybe you should get a list together of neat little things we can do to get PHPNuke goodies into the joomla environment..seeing them all together may prevent redundant coding?


There is a site map for Mambo/Joomla..not sure if memory serves if it is free or pay componnent.. I'll look around
