Greater Template Control & More - Posted By Ross (admin) on 18th Jan 10 at 12:30pm
All user forums have just been upgraded to the latest version of our forum software. There are 3 key changes which we have made, 2 of which were based directly on the suggestions of this support community:

In addition to these we have fixed a number of bugs on the system and have made many smaller adjustments which should improve usability.

If you do find a bug then please let us know via the bugs board. If you have any questions or comments then please post away {Smile}

If it were possible I'd fall in love with you already again.

Whoa. I guess it is possible!

{Shocked} you said "test". Sorry, did you not want members to know that? {Cool}

What if a post just contains a staff ubbc... surely it'll seem empty to people? {Unsure}

CSS/JS can be used to replace the hidden information with a message of some sort {Smile}

How would the tags be customized?

Edit: After looking at page source this is what I find:

Code:
 
  1. .staff_note { display: block; border: 1px solid #E3170D; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 4px; }
  2. .guest_note { display: block; border: 2px solid #fefefe; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 4px; }
  3. .member_note { display: block; border: 2px dashed #fefefe; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 4px; }
  4. .guest_note.hidden { display: none; }
 


What is .hidden?

Re: Greater Template Control & More - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 18th Jan 10 at 4:22pm
.hidden is if it's hidden from certain people. Ie. a Guest viewing a staff's note or a member's note {Smile}

Re: Greater Template Control & More - Posted By Aiken (ionfortuna) on 18th Jan 10 at 7:44pm
Can it be used with staff notes and member notes? Like .staff_note.hidden or .member_note.hidden?

As far as I know, yes. I haven't explored it completely yet. {Smile}

I just tested it on my forum and it works!

Re: Greater Template Control & More - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 19th Jan 10 at 10:33am
Nice updates! {Grin} I'll be looking forward to use these!

For the UBBC tags, would it be possible to have something added like [member=wrighty] Wrighty see's only. [/member] and [staff=admin] Ross see's only. [/staff]

I know, it sounds like PM's, but in an RP it could be for secret attacks, or a secret thing for only that person. Sort of like how walkie talkies work. {Smile}

The only bad thing I see is, someone could quote the post, and see what that person has said. like:
 
[staff]ross is a meanie

[guest]its true

ross rules[/guest]

[/staff]
