Permission to rewrite Bottom notes - Posted By ashkir (ashkir) on 19th Jul 08 at 12:16pm

Problem: I am wondering if I can get permission to rewrite the bottom notices on the forum? The current time, page, database queries, search I really don't need. But can I redesign the bottom and override it?

I will make sure it continues to have an advertisement to vForums like:

With links and all.

Note: If you visit the site now the bottom is hidden due to a mainpage coding problem. Trying to sort it out and will have it done soon. :].

If you want to write teh codes for it, and then post them. We'll verify that it's ok! {Smile}

Well apparently the default code I use to change the homepage which Ross kindly added to the system to change the home page template completely. However the system won't close the last div and none of the codes I'm trying can do that.

That is the main reason why I want to add that notice just for the main page. Right now for the bottom content I have:

Global Header:
Code:
Select All
 
  1. <script type="text/javascript">
  2. <!--
  3. var totalSurveys = '0';
  4. var surveyProgress = '2';
  5. var totalQuestions = '9';
  6. var totalAnswers = '0';
  7. var adFreeCredits = '0';
  8. //-->
  9. </script>
 


Main Footer in the div id 'home'. The div id home automatically becomes the home page.
Code:
Select All
 
  1. <table align="center" width="700" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
  2. <tr>
  3. <td width="100%">
  4. <table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
  5. <tr>
  6. <td width="50%" align="left">
  7. Total Surveys: <script>document.write(totalSurveys);</script><br />
  8. In Progress:<script>document.write(surveyProgress);</script><br />
  9. Total Questions: <script>document.write(totalQuestions);</script><br />
  10. Total Answers: <script>document.write(totalAnswers);</script>
  11. </td>
  12. <td width="50%" align="right">
  13. <a href="/?page=tou">Terms of Use</a><br />

  16. </td>
  17. </tr>
  18. </table>
  19. </td>
  20. </tr>
  21. <tr>
  22. <td width="100% align="center">

The bottom section may be modified to an extent. The main requirement is that the links to the virtualforums website remain intact (eg. This Forum is Powered By vForums - Create a Forum for Free). It's also preferable if the modifications are made via JavaScript (we can set that up for you once you've finalized the layout you would like).

As Ross said, if you choose on the layout that you want, I'll code it up in Javascript. Therefore if Ross changes a link, or wording, it'll be carried over! {Smile}

Thanks you two. :]And did Wrighty delete himself? o_O. :[.
