  1. If you want to you could incluse the code for a horizontal banner right in the overall_header.tpl that way no matter what your users are doing or looking at they will see your ads. Find the below in the bottom of the overall_header.tpl in all templates (subSilver, Blacky, Glass or whatever) </table></td> </tr> </table> <br />Put your ad code between </table> and <br /> then they can't help but see your ads.
  2. You should just leave pins 5,6 and 9,10 shorted with the jumpers according to the manual for the rear connectors. Di the motherboard come with an install disk that includes the drivers needed for the sound that is on board? If so you need to run the software and set the sound card up before it will run, I think the only exception would be the PC speaker which only beeps anyway and then only if you hook it up.Check your software to install the drivers for your motherboard. And if you don;t have any try downloading it from the internet fro the manufactures web site.

    A little UPDATE I found out that for your style to take even though you havd edit it you have to do it through the ACP, so go to your IPB Admin Control Panel the expand the Skins and Templates then select Manage Skins then select under the master skin set you may only have one set which will be the default skin set so click the name of it and it will show your skin set, make the changes there and then tell it to save and reload, this will put the skin set into your databaase and update the cache and whatever changes you made will now be usable. The override where you defined the width should still work but the notetop and notemain need to have the same values unless you want that kind of effect. You could change your borger to solid or a ridge inset or outset a grove or dashed, just look up css borderstyle with google and you should see all the kinds of borders for boxes that are available.

    OK It appears that you redefined the width of the notetop is that what you wanted to make the header or notetop smaller, if you want the notemain or the box to be the same size then you need to define the notemain the same as the notetop. You can leave the class alone and just override the class in the <div> by doing this <div class='notetop' style=width:50%>Napomena:</div><div class='notemain' style= width:50%;overflow:auto;word-wrap:normal >{content}</div>
  5. With hosting here at Xisto you have a choice of preinstalling PHP-Nuke or Mambo and there may be another one. PHP-Nuke and Mambo both come with some preinstalled modules and blocks and you may activate or deactivate any you wish. I know that PHP-Nuke comes with Forums (phpBB2) but I am uncertain about Mambo. I also know that PHPNuke can use MySQL and PosgreSQL but I don't know if PostgreSQL is offered as a database here, I always use MySQL anyway because I have been using it so long. Both come with multilingual support. PHP nuke supports 33 languages and I feel certain that Mambo does also.You can have unlimited databases here at Xisto, and as far as a Blog PHP-Nuke uses a Journal which is basically all a Blog is (Web log) is a journal with a different name, and you could just rename your Journal to Blog and no one would really know the difference. So as soon as you have the necessary credits then you can go to the cPanel and try the CMSs offered there and if you don't like them then you could try XOOP or one of the other CMSs.
  6. Please dont take this for gospel but right now you have ten credits, basicaly one credit for each post you have made so you are eligible to request hoting. This will upon approval reduce your credits to zero meaning you will need to continue to post or you are in danger of suspension due to lack of credits. When you do get hosting though the credits are not counted by the number of posts but the content of those posts. A post of this size right here might give me 1.3 days (I did say days because when hosted credits are calculated in days not credits). So you need to build up your days to prevenat suspension of your account and it is suggested that 7 to 10 days of credits is usually OK in case you are unable to post anything for one reason ot the other.You could go ahead and make 20 more posts that are meaningful in these forums and go ahead and apply for the #2 hosting option, and then again you would have to keep posting because one approved you would have to maintain a certain amout of hosting credits. Basically speaking if you choose the package #1 then you would need 30 MORE credits to qualify for the #2 package. When I joined almost a year ago the #1 package was 15 MG but in very short time I had the credits I needed to upgrade to #2. This was just fine because even had I had the #2 package I had many question about my account, and those count towards your credits also.So now the choice is yours to decide whether to go ahead and get 20 MEG or continue posting til you have 30 credits. 20 MEG is quite a bit to start with and you will probably be busy just setting your site up while earning more credits for hosting #2 then you can upgrade and add the extra things you would like to your site.
  7. You might want to check before you publish that video on the web because it violates copywrite laws. You could be subject to prosecution because that would be viewed as a public performance of the copywrited material, and it is also possible that MySpace if made aware of it would remove your account also.If that were a video that you created yourself and the music that was being played by you or a group you belong to then it would be OK but that material belongs to Green Day and whoever has the publishing rights to it.
  8. Actually computer 'A' or possibly computer 'B' is the host and all other computers are clients, only one computer will connect to the internet and to share the connection you will either have to have a wired ethernet connection or a wireless connection between 'A' and 'B' and and other connections. If you use the USB to connect to the internetthen you would just need two nics one for the host computer and one for the client , but if you use the ethernet connection for the host you will have to have a nic just for that and another to pass the network connection to the client, so if you had three computers in the network the first two the host and its first client would have two nics and the last computer would have just one. The reason for this is because you are daisychaining the connection.DSL <---------------------->NIC1 PC1NIC2 PC1 <--------------->NIC1 PC2NIC2 PC2 <--------------->NIC1 PC3

    Use this pyost and it will work, I dont have the color scheme you used but here is the out put using the following <div class='codetop'>Napomena:</div><div class='codemain' style= overflow:auto;word-wrap:normal'>{content}</div> Drop the word-wrap:break-word; and the white-space:pre; as shown above and you will fix it just as shown. Sorry I use illustration so much but it is easier than my misspelled words and such.
  10. Wel you could do that but it really defeats the purpose, because then even if you redirected to an IPB you users would have to log in there also and if they went back to PHP-Nuke (you would have to have a link back to PHP-Nuke somewhere) then if the session was expired then they would have to log in there also, with the IPB_Nuke version that I have once loggen in you are logged into both systems and the forums run on 2/3 s the page with the main menu item of PHP-Nuke still available, using a redirect or an outright link to IPB would just open up a standalone IPB forum which is not integrated into the Content Management System at all.

    Hey pyost when you get it the way you want and all why dont you let us know how everything is working. Glad you discovered how simple and powerful just using a little css is. What you are using in this case is embedded style, and there is also inline css where you apply the style to an individual element, and you can import a seperate style sheet that you could use on what ever page you want by importing the style sheet you created by <style type='text/css'> <!-- @import url(your.css) --></style>That way you make the style sheet with all kind of classes etcetera once and just import it into those pages where you want to use it. Then if you want to add more changes that effect the look of all those pages you just change the one style sheet instead of messing with all the pages individually.
  12. The letter even if authentic was probably never seen by the President, I doubt he really has the time to read **** like that, and even if it did make it to the White House aides would have read it and it probaly ended up in the circular file or ****can like the **** it was .Hope my *'s don't offend, unless you are one of those that is easily offended by just about anything. Micheal Moore is a real idiot that make stuff up and is a socialist, and I am glad to see that the election in Canada really updet the fat slob!

    Great to hear about that , as you said css is not that difficult and makes it so you can create a class for just about anything you want and either import them or embed them into documents and where you want certain thing to happen just call that name in a tag where you want to use them.

    /* <---Everything inside the forward slash * (asterick) and a following -->*/ is a comment normally used for multiple line instead of the // Comment for a single line If you were to uncomment the line in that code it would produce a 200 pixel box regardless of the lines in that box (a real waste of space) even if there were only one. If you find the file it is possible that it is called something else because you might be using a different version and it is entirely possible that it is in another folder. What you need to do is review all the .css files because that is how the forum gets its information on how to display certain areas of the forum. It is possible to have one large .css file that contains all the information to set the style, and if that is the case then you would create your .notetop and .notebody within that file seperate from the other because your .notetop and notebody should have different characteristics from the html and sql boxes. You might want a solid border or a dashed border for your box, and you might want it to have different dimensions from other. So you are on the right track and just need to find the .css that contains the html and sql classes in it and in that file is where you would, I will install that version on my site and see what it is that is going on because I believe that my 2.0 version is different than the one that Xisto or in your case that you are using. Do you have a server on your local PC or Mac? It would help a lot if you did (it also needs at least PHP just to run PHP).
  15. In the words of Forrest Gump "Stupid is as stupid does!" So when they go to prison for the felonies they will not be able to play any more of that game, and most likely when they do get out they will not ever want to play it again.Sane people have fantasies, but they do not act on them, immature people that have difficulty knowing the difference between reality and fantasy and then attempt to act it out may or may not ever get to face reality, but these two will and the reality they are facing is harsh. Hell of a way to learn a lesson of life.
  16. I saw the results and the Marijuana Party along with some others like the Communist, and some even flakier ones were all throuwn into one pile in the less than something like 5%. Only potheads would vote for another pothead anyway and even most of them know that that would probably not really work cause you couldn't take them seriously. Might as well have the Clown party.

    To find that file use your Window search and just tell it to browse the 2.0 ipb folder, that is if you have the upload directory on your local hard drive (note) that file is created when you install IPB so if you have an uninstalled copy on your hard drive you will not see it. If you have cPanel on your host (I will assume you do and that you use Xisto) just use file manager and look at the style_images folder and you should only see two files css_2.css and index,html and a 1 folder with a bunch of images.

    The css_2.css file is in the style_images folder see the illustration below, it and the index.htl file will be the only files in that folder; If you will read a little about making a CSS class say a .notecode and a .notebody just use the code that was included in the first post as an example of how classes are defined and as you saw in the code that I gave to use for the sample note if you make a new class and make up the font solor family size background color and all you will end up with what you want with the exception of the {username} which might be called by IPB a different way. In your root folder with IPB 2.0 you should have the following folders; cache, ipb_kernal, jscripts, lang, lofiversion, retal, skin_acp, skin_cache, sources, skin_acp, skin_cache,sources, style_avatars, style_emoticons,and style_images which is the folder that has the css_2.css, if there is a css file in yours by another name that is most likely the file you wont know til you open it up.
  19. I personally use both, and there is a good reason for this one the WAMP I use the latest software Apache MySQL and PHP5.0.11 along with the latest phpMyAdmin. The XAMPP I use PHP 4 and some older phpMyAdmin. These are for me to test my Web applications and keep up with the newest. Some of my older stuff will not run without modification on the newest versions and for that reason I alter the older software accordingly to work no matter what application is used by the server that is one the web.With XAMPP you can switch between PHP 4 and PHP 5 but I just use the PHP 4 running on it for my older stuff. XAMPP and WAMP will both set up with ease on your local machine and within 10 minutes of download and install you can be testing your HTML PHP MySQL, and with XAMPP even a mail server and Perl script.If I were to use only one it would probably be XAMPP because of all the features plus I have been using it since 2003 with a couple of upgrades along the way. It is feature packed and a very easy install, I know because before I found XAMPP I set up my own Apache with PHP and MySQL and even with a reference manual had trouble setting it up, it was a big headache, then when I found XAMPP it was like magic just download unsip and run the install then there you are DONE!

    Although 2.0 allows you to create custom BB Code with the ACP is will probably need you to add some code other than what can be done with the ACP Try putting the following into the Custom BB Code Replacement at the bottom in 2.0 and it will pretty much use the class as used by the CODE box <div class='codetop'>NOTE</div><div class='codemain' style= white-space:pre;overflow:auto'><center>Napomena</center>{content}</div> The above is basically the CODE tag replaced except with NOTE for the displayed text, to change the background et cetera then you need to make you a new css class here are the classes for the .codetop and .codemain to guide you along .codetop,.sqltop,.htmltop{ width:98%; color: #000; margin: 0px auto 0px auto; font-weight:bold; padding: 3px; background-color:#FDDBCC; background-image: url(1/css_img_code.gif); background-position: right; background-repeat: no-repeat;}.codemain,.sqlmain,.htmlmain{ font-family: Courier, Courier New, Verdana, Arial; color: #465584; background-color: #FAFCFE; border: 1px dotted #000; padding: 2px; width:98%; margin: 0px auto 0px auto; /*overflow: auto; height: 200px;*/}That css is in the style_images/css_2.css folder so you would make a new class for background and all then alter your [note] code as shown above, you will probably have to use {username}Here is what the above code would look like: Let me go back to hard code for BB Codes and I will help you with the 2.0 version I have been mostly using the 1.3 (which doesn't have that feature. It will take some time but hopefully what you have above will at least get you started.
  21. That is your problem if that file is empty there is no way that you can connect to the database. Basically the config.php file is run every time you start your web file or make any change or have any occassion to connect to the database. So the config file must be there. Copy and paste this into the config.php in the cPanel when you have the proper values in there. Here is the code excep[t for the password you nedd to correct that part the rest should work just fine. <?php// phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file// Do not change anything in this file!$dbms = 'mysql';$dbhost = 'localhost';$dbname = 'Vicious_forge';$dbuser = 'vicious';$dbpasswd = "takeThisOutAndPutYourPasswordHere";$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);?> Now Copy and paste that into the config.php file and save it then go to the home page of your site. You will probably have to set up your Admin and all that but this will get you going.
  22. OK I won't tell you to search Vicious_AD but from the error that I see you are simply not connecting to the database. You will need to check your config .php file in the root directory. The file will look similar to below; // phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file// Do not change anything in this file!$dbms = 'mysql'; // This is correct for Xisto$dbhost = 'localhost'; // This is correct for Xisto$dbname = 'vicious'; // Make this correct on Xisto is is usually your username$dbuser = 'xxxxx'; // This needs to be the same password as the cPanel$dbpasswd = '';$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);?>You can go to the cPanel then to file manager and you will see that file (config.php) in your root or whichever subfolder you put the phpBB files into possibly metabbv4 the problem starts in the db folder which is basically trying to connect to the database server and here is the code that starts the error. function sql_db($sqlserver, $sqluser, $sqlpassword, $database, $persistency = true) { $this->persistency = $persistency; $this->user = $sqluser; $this->password = $sqlpassword; $this->server = $sqlserver; $this->dbname = $database; $this->db_connect_id = ($this->persistency) ? mysql_pconnect($this->server, $this->user, $this->password) : mysql_connect($this->server, $this->user, $this->password); The other two lines are just the lines that tell you about the error. So go to the file manager and find the config.php file in the metabbv4 folder and there is an option to edit it, just fill in the proper values for the user and password then try it again and you should be good to go.
  23. Here are your requirements; I have been using this host since 2001 with just a few times there were problems with the database and once when they renamed the MySQL server from localhost to mysql and they sent me an e-mail to let me know so I could change the config.php for my CMS. No posting or anything, and if I am not right you can have more than one account. If I dies today the site would probably keep on going, at least it has since 2001 it is called Deluxe Host and here is a link Deluxe Host Home Page
  24. Never heard of Jdtools, did you misspell it where did you hear about or see such a thing? In what context did you come across this tool? Is it supposed to be related to some sort of programming language, or as something additional to use with some software application?I know about as much about it as you do, not much at all, and untill I saw your post knew nothing at all about it.
  25. I suppose that that entry went into a data base, and if so then go to cPanel then phpMyAdmin find the table that has the record and drop it out of the database and voila it is gone.
