         sFaderControlId: \'smfFadeScroller\',

Thank's for this!
Te bold news has been disturbing me very long, but I've been to lazy to fix it until I saw this mod

[Yigal]

No Problem
For any more questions please post here!

[Yigal]

Fixed.
What the problem was I named 'package-info.xml' 'Package-Info.xml'

Have a nice day.

Nice mod, good job.

Quick question though, I'd like to change the title of the News box from just "News" to something more flashy, like "Latest Headlines" or something to that effect.

Any idea how I would go about doing this?  Thanks in advance. 

Edit -- Nvm, found it.  Themes > Default > Languages > index.english

Cheers.

[Yigal]

Thank You for your comment, and good job finding it yourself

Please Look At Post #1 for an update.
1.1 has been released due to your question

[Yigal]

*Announcement*

1.2 has been cancelled due to lack of time, sorry.

This mod didn't work for me and I'm guessing it's because I'm using a custom theme.  Would you know how to make this work for the theme called Outline by dzinerstudio?

[Yigal]

I would suggest installing the Mod manually.

[steve51184]

is it just me or is the below code (that needs to be found) not even in smf 2.0 rc2 in the BoardIndex.template.php file?

Code (find) Select Expand

// Surround each item with... anything special?
var smfFadeBefore = "<b>", smfFadeAfter = "</b>";

Code (replace) Select Expand

// Surround each item with... anything special?
var smfFadeBefore = " ", smfFadeAfter = " ";

i can't find it any where

[steve51184]

anyone?

[steve51184]

rc3 update?

[Yigal]

Sorry, no.  I lost intrest in SMF and modifications.  Anyone else can modify codes if they like.  I just don't care anymore. 

Sorry.

[steve51184]

ouch ^

that really sucks!

[Yigal]

Sorry my friend.  Perhaps one day i might come back

[steve51184]

@Steve: If you're still looking at how to do this in RC3...

Edit BoardIndex.template.php and look for this:

Code Select Expand

      // Create a news fader object.
      var oNewsFader = new smf_NewsFader({
         sSelf: \'oNewsFader\',
         sFaderControlId: \'smfFadeScroller\',
         sItemTemplate: ', JavaScriptEscape('<strong>%1$s</strong>'), ',
         iFadeDelay: ', empty($settings['newsfader_time']) ? 5000 : $settings['newsfader_time'], '
      });

And change it to this:

Code Select Expand

      // Create a news fader object.
      var oNewsFader = new smf_NewsFader({
         sSelf: \'oNewsFader\',
         sFaderControlId: \'smfFadeScroller\',
         sItemTemplate: ', JavaScriptEscape('%1$s'), ',
         iFadeDelay: ', empty($settings['newsfader_time']) ? 5000 : $settings['newsfader_time'], '
      });

All you need to do is remove the <strong> & </strong> tags.

[Yigal]

I hope you guys got this resolved.

[Yigal]

Now compatible with 2.0RC3/4 (look at the code above).

Thanks LHW.

Hello, I am using smf 1.1.12 and I have installed this mod but it's still all bold. Is there a configuration or something?

Thank you.
