Could the Board Description be a few more hundred characters, as this wont fit in the description, and its not my place to change it, as I did not think up the board nor the description, one of my members did.

Quote:

Board Name: Mansion "Devil May Cry Shop"

Board Description: The mansion that once was burned down by Sephiroth along with the whole town of Nibleheim is now under the "Care" of Dante. A otherworldly mercenary that specializes in the hunting and killing of demons and monsters a like. Dante has refurbished the inside and no more does it look abandoned. Out side of the mansion on top of the roof there is a big neon sign that reads Devil May Cry. A smaller sign can be found on the door that reads , the bathrooms up the stairs and to the right.

Thanks,

P.S. This is for my FFVII: {Forbidden}~{Reunion} forum.

You can use the Censored word list. Just go Admin >> Modify Censors >> Word to Replace [Whatever you want to replace] >> Replacement Word [Board Description].

That's what I did anyway...

If the description was as long as that, then i'd consider using that in a table in the board header, and possibly a shortened/revised one for the main page.

Fel!x What do you mean? I don't understand.


Graham its for a Sub board.

Go to your admin panel, and go to the Modify Censors page.

In the "Word to replace" box, type "[mdmcsbd]" without the quotes. In the "Replacement Word" box, enter the board description.

Next, go to the sub-board that you would like to have the description for, and in the "Board Description" area, type in "[mdmcsbd]" without the quotes. This will automatically replace the little code you entered with the actual description.

Ahh so like a little hack around it, thats cool. Thanks.
But, does it have to be "[mdmcsbd]"

No, it can be whatever you want.

But just keep in mind that it will replace it anywhere else on the forum as well.

it didnt work

^_^ I ticked the box

ok it works but now look:

Hmm, it appears to still be cutting it down; give me a moment, I'll write up a code for you.

ok thanks.

You could be exceeding the censored word max.

Code:

Select All

 

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* Switch-It by Cr0w */
function switchIt(word,word2){
    var f = document.getElementsByTagName("font");
    for(i=0;i<f.length;i++){
        font[i].innerHTML = td[i].innerHTML.replace(word,word2);
    }
}
 
switchIt("WORD TO REPLACE","REPLACEMENT");
//-->
</script>

<script type="text/javascript"> {BR}<!-- {BR}/* Switch-It by Cr0w */ {BR}function switchIt(word,word2){ {BR}    var f = document.getElementsByTagName("font"); {BR}    for(i=0;i<f.length;i++){ {BR}        font[i].innerHTML = td[i].innerHTML.replace(word,word2); {BR}    } {BR}} {BR} {BR}switchIt("WORD TO REPLACE","REPLACEMENT"); {BR}//--> {BR}</script>

 

The switchIt() line can be repeated to switch more things around. Can be placed in any footer, but in this case, it seems like you'd want it in the Board Footers.

Ok thanks, so in the forums main footer? or in the board' footer?

Either global or board; depending on if you plan on making more boards with extremely long descriptions.

Ok thanks.

Ok thanks.

No worries.

Just to note, I've slightly increased the limit to 300 since I was editting that area anyway
