** NEW STUFF COMING ** WEBSITE 'ITEMS' AND SITE 'LAYOUT'

[J]

Hey all.. I see alot of people customizing their websites.. WHICH IS AWESOME. But I get alot of questions from people on how to do certain stuff as well...

I would like everyone who has used something on their website which was not orginally an option.. (like a spacer image... a sound clip, a video clip) to post up with the image they used... or with the code they used on how to get this on their website. Now I know how alot of you did it I just want to get a thread going to collect all of these things, this way I can write some code that people can just click on these items and have them automatically added to thier websites...

So if yer surfing the web and see something that ud like to be able to add to your website.. such as an animated icon/smiley.. a spacer image.. just post it in this thread and ill make sure I add it to this upcoming "ITEMS' page which will be available to all users.

I hope this makes sense and Im going to start posting some examples.. hopefully others will follow and we will have abig collection which should make the websites even more unique and enjoyable.

Let me know if you guys have any questions.

:devil:

Here is my music code:

<embed src="http://www.website.com/music/yoursong.wma" height=46 width=350 controls="smallconsole" autostart="true" nosave="false" loop="true" VOLUME="50">

Is this what you are looking for??

[J]

Yes, thats fine.. I will be writing the page so people dont have to know that.. they can just click on ADD SONG... and it will ask them the appropriate values.... keep em coming.

[HerNastyNotch]

Well kool! :dance: Here's my video code as well...

<embed type='application/x-mplayer2' pluginspage='http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx' id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' displaysize='4' autosize='-1' bgcolor='darkblue' showcontrols="true" showtracker='-1' showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='0' videoborder3d='-1' width="320" height="285" src="http://www.website.com/videos/yourvideo.mpg" autostart="false" loop="false">

[J]

Heres some more examples of what people might use on their websites...

[J]

more..

[J]

Other things Im planning on doing... an option to change the layout of your site.

Turn on or off: nominations / latest visitors / rank / face-off record / hunt items

[wldponi03]

WOW that is going to be Sweet just click on something to add it, J you are great!!!

[The Guardian]

You are AWESOME J I love this site. That will make it easy for people to get their sites setup. Keep up the good work. Now when can I see my vert in the scrolling banner? Just kidding.

[tobedeleted_blnpony05]

I would like to know how mysticcobra has the "you are here" floaty things on his site, where the page descriptions are...it's cool :cool: and the slide show!

[wldponi03]

OMG MysticCobra's has the coolest website, all that stuff would be great to know I wish I could make a slide show like that!!!

[Nicoleb3x3]

You can make the slide show using Windows Movie Maker.
Once you create one save it.
upload to online server
and post to your site just like your would a song like this

<embed src="http://THE LOCATION OF YOUR HOST/FILENAME.wmv" autostart="true"nosave="false"loop="true"VOLUME="60">

(the volume part does not work right; but I don't know if it'll work if you take it out)

[Nicoleb3x3]

oh yeah, when you save it in Movie Maker, choose to save it as a broadband size (think it was 500 something kb or something like that)

Music is the thing most users want. well i wont re-post the music HTML, but thats the most popular thing i get asked - "how'd u do that". So i've been helping members out with music for some time now. so J, if u can add a control to add music, so its as easy as u have it to build a site, that would be a great addition. I just cant get music to work (auto start) if the file is stored on the GS server. So a fix for that would be cool.

J, u've already made it easy for TEXT to be changed, (SIZE, COLOR, ETC). :devil:

I know that scripting could open up a can of worms but that could add a touch of originality to alot of the sites.

i also use a scrolling marquee with an embeded PIC. heres the code for those who dont know how.
change the numeric settings for the desired look.

<marquee align="middle" behavior="scroll" direction="left" height="40" width="100%" scrollamount="6" loop="infinite" scrolldelay="1"><font color="red" size="6"><b><img src="http://www.gotstang.com/an uploaded gotstang-picture (http://www.gotstang.com/an%20uploaded%20gotstang-picture)" align=absmiddle> BLA BLA BLA <<<<<<<your text here>>>>>>>>>>>> <img src=http://www.gotstang.com/an uploaded gotstang-pic (http://www.gotstang.com/an%20uploaded%20gotstang-pic) align=absmiddle></b></font></marquee>

Well I put it up and it is scrolling all the pics on my site instead of the one I put in the code :lol: I'll keep working on that!!

[Fastest302]

that will be hot

[J]

OK New option added...

Website Layout:

You can choose either

Ranks displayed at top (default)
Ranks displayed at bottom
No Ranks displayed

Try em out.

[J]

Just added option to turn off Nominations and Visitors on the right side of your pages.

[HerNastyNotch]

aren't u the busy lil bee... ;)

Did you try clicking on the link that says 'Show Direct URL (for videos)' ?

[J]

Can someone test this shit!

it works :dance:

[Nicoleb3x3]

J, thanks for adding the "green" bars for showing "new" messages.
Can you add an option to keep unread? like "mark as unread"

this way...if you don't have time to reply to someone you can keep it as unread until you have more time.

sometime's if I get too many messages at once, I get worried that I overlooked a message and forget to reply to someone.

[Nicoleb3x3]

OK New option added...

Ranks displayed at top (default)
Ranks displayed at bottom
No Ranks displayed

Try em out.

Can we have the same option with:
The hunt
Faceoffs
Trophys

This way my other pages beyond page 1, I can take that stuff off?

...
and can we get a "next" option for the pages?
Page(s): 1 2 3 4 5 6 | Page Views: 636
Page(s): 1 2 3 4 5 6 |NEXT PAGE | Page Views: 636
(it'll make it easier for people to click "next page" and maybe people wouldn't be so lazy]

[sublime302]

i still say in the hunt list, it would be cool if all your remaining hunts to get can go in their own section.. like how the ones we have are red, and the ones we need are yellow, like send all of the yellow ones to a section this way would be soooo much easier than having to scroll up and down seeing them... you understand what i mean?

[Nicoleb3x3]

I also agree about moving all the "red/completed" items into their own section.

[J]

Nicole ill be adding your suggestion soon.

As far as the hunt thing.. are you talkin about the printable page?

[Cobra94]

Did you try clicking on the link that says 'Show Direct URL (for videos)' ?just tried it, works great. :devil:

[sublime302]

no, not the printable page, just the hunt page... where it says all of them...

I can't make this work...can you break it down for me...step by step :j:
I have trying all day. I am getting the code on the site with the pic but it shows the code scrolling with the pic.....if I take out the code that I can see then it makes all my pics scroll :thumpupn:

[Nicoleb3x3]

thx J!

and the hunt...
this page is the one everyone's talking about:

http://www.gotstang.com/thehunt.php

[Nicoleb3x3]

J, I'm prob. getting to be a pain..so this will be the last thing I request for a while.

I like the Index with the "your are Here" thing MysticCobra has, so I now have one on my page.

But; we already have this on Got Stang:


Page 1: My 93 2.3LX-5.0GT Project Views: 2935
Page 2: Building my Custom GT Views: 648
Page 3: MM Sport Suspension Views: 243
Page 4: CARSHOW:Cruising Downtown Views: 340
Page 5: Fun Ford Weekend Views: 149
Page 6: MY 5.0 SWAP NOTES Views: 231
View Polls

Can we modify the exising site index by making two options:
1.) Add "<---your are here" scrolling marquee thing
2.) Allow placement at the bottom or the top(default)

(I think the bottom is more useful to visitors, because they want to know where to go after they've checked out the current page)

btw; thanks for adding the "NEXT" I LIKE IT!!!! :dance:

[J]

dont ever think yer being a pain.. i love when someone gives me something to do :)

Hi J, here are the codes for an index at the bottom with a pointing arrow to the current page: (sorry about all the extra codes for fonts)

J, would it be possible to get the member sites at the top menu to display the list of members in join date order. Currently we can sort the list by username, caryear and state. If you could add by join date it would be nice. We could see the most senior members to the newest.

Also you will need to fix the fact that in that list, if we choose by state and get page 1, we loose the sort if we go to page 2. It comes back to the original sort.

thanks in advance,

MystiCobra

[MystiCobra]

DONE, and fixed.

Thanks J, it's working perfectly.

[J]

OK, you can now disable the page descriptions with the page views. This will be usefull for those who are setting up their own 'You are here' code.

[Nicoleb3x3]

that's cool...
but now I don't have the # of page views...
..sniffle..whine...sniffle...

[J]

umm click on stats

http://www.gotstang.com/maint.php

[Nicoleb3x3]

yeah, but I like others to see it too
it's ok, no big deal
remember, I'm just a pain in the a-- sometimes

[MdniteMustang00]

sorry to dig up an older thread....but didnt wanna start a new topic. lol

Since we can take things off of our website...would it be possible to remove the face off and car show trophy stats and such from our signatures also?!
