tawxic Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 First, I want to thank you guys for keeping me on the hard road :-P I asked for easy ways out several times and they were never given to me ;) So I made this myself: www.rfstorm.com/catalog/ I used the kingcoffee contrib as a base for almost all of my coding, then I modified it to have a bottom graphic, and had a huge pain figuring out how the file structure was, but I'm far better off now :) Anyway, would anyone download this contribution if I compiled it all nice? I can't remember half the files I modified to get it to work, but I'll figure something out if there's enough demand for it. Thanks again everyone, Jon Hughes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radders Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 What does the possible contribution do please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawxic Posted September 19, 2003 Author Share Posted September 19, 2003 it allows you to add a header, footer, and background image for all your infoboxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ireader Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Yes Jon, I like it, and I would download it, Thankyou Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulm2003 Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 (edited) I can't remember half the files I modified to get it to work, but I'll figure something out if there's enough demand for it.It looks beautifull, may be a little overdone to me. But the idea is clear and certainly seems usefull to me. You might have to do it again some day, you never know. If you make a contribution out of it, it will be a peace of cake for you to reproduce it at any time. And probably others will benefit from it also. :) Paul Edited September 20, 2003 by paulm2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azer Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 yes im sure that so many people are looking to be able to put a bottom picture to the infoboxes ... i tried several contribution but this one fits exactly my needs .. so ill be very grateful if you would take the time to make an install :rolleyes: Quote MS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinkamshan Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 This is exactly what I am looking for!! :D It would really improve the design of my site. I am so excited that you are offering to make a contribution for it. I am certain that there are a lot of other people who would be interested in it also. Good work!

Guest Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 (edited) I really like your boxes. I can't think of a way to implement it to my site right now, but if I do, I would like to be able to implement it. This is something that you should write up as a contrib and post to the contributions section for everyone to use. If you don't plan on writing it up as a contrib, them email it to me, I would love to have it.

tawxic Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 :: shrugs :: Well.... alright! I'll start compiling it into an easy(or close to it) to implement contrib... now to go back and find out what exactly I edited :rolleyes: Thanks for the support everyone :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillChurch Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 (edited) Looks good, I like it! now to go back and find out what exactly I edited There is a good program you can use called Beyond Compare. It will let you compare two files and show you the differences in them. Just take the unedited file and the file you edited and see the differences in them.

Guest Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Very nice boxes. I would use this contribution, as soon as I find someone that can make graphics that would fit my site (my graphics guy and I had a "falling out"...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 looks great!! I was looking to it!!! butm where can I get it? thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawxic Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 Well, I'm really sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but I can't compile it for probably at least 2 more weeks :( I recently sold my computer (it was an E-Machine, I just couldn't take it) so now I don't have one, except at work. I'm building one right now, but I don't have sufficient funds to complete it. I already have the box, the video card, and the CDRW drive, which leaves a lot to be had... I'm planning on buying the motherboard and CPU today, and in two weeks, when I get my next paycheck, I may be able to buy the rest. So until I get my next paycheck, I wont even be able to work on it :-/ Sorry again everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I appreciate it, and look forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawxic Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 There is a good program you can use called Beyond Compare. The problem with that is that I've already added quite a few other contribs to my files (like infobox admin and such) and I've also done quite a bit of misc editing, figuring out what does what, so many of my files will be different... I know where the main changes are, however, so I'l just re-add them to a new MS2 download, and distribute it that way. That sound alright to everyone? I could also add the code into the readme, of course, for those of you that already have contribs loaded into the files that need to be edited.

Paycheck Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I am really interested in getting my hands on this code for implimentation of my site. When your rig up and running again I will definitly be a taker. Thanks and good luck. JM Quote Always remember, we need patience, guidance and most of all understanding.

azer Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 did u guys found another infobox contribution that allow to make bottom of infobox ? Quote MS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawxic Posted October 10, 2003 Author Share Posted October 10, 2003 azer: yes, this contrib allows you to add a bottom box, and also specify a background image, and change the size of the box/header/footer images for your infoboxes. UPDATE: I finally purchased the rest of my computer parts, they should all arrive within a week of today (10/10/03) - then my following paycheck (20th) I should get internet, so I'll start working on it then :) Thanks for your patience everyone!

tawxic Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 :ph34r: Sorry again everyone, I know lots of people want this contrib, but RL issues are keeping me at bay. either the monitor or the video card I got is broken, so I've got to figure that out, then we'll see.. thanks for waiting!

tawxic Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 Okay, it was the monitor... I'm getting the internet this saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueline Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Simple guys. Just replace the following code for every file in your /catalog/includes/boxes folder. Replace: <tr> <td> With: <tr> <td> <TABLE WIDTH=173 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=3><IMG SRC="images/boxes/header2.gif" WIDTH=173 HEIGHT=42></TD> </tr><tr> <td width="4" style="background-image: url(http://localhost/egypt/images/boxes/left.gif)"> </td> <td> And replace: </td> </tr> With: </TD> <td style="background-image: url(http://localhost/egypt/images/boxes/right.gif)"> </td> </TR></table><TABLE WIDTH=173 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0> <tr> <!-- <td width="173" height="4" style="background-image: url(http://localhost/egypt/images/boxes/bottom.gif)"> </td>--> <td align="left"><div align="left"><img src="images/boxes/bottom.gif"></div></td> </tr></table> </td> </tr> Of course you will have to change the names of the images...but that's it.

steve.luther Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Me to please it looks really smart If you do make it into a download option I would certainly take it. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaitlyn_rose Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Was this contribution ever made? Also, is there a way to add a *different* background image to the left infoboxes and the right ones? Please point me to where I may download this/these contributions. Thanks in advance! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
