Todge created a code for me to put the jokes under threads to show only one at a time, this has some problems like inability to comment on the jokes, unchanging order: which ties into the next problem of new jokes being added at the back.
What I'd like is to put up a box of sorts on the board, not inside threads, using the images or text for the joke provided, to show off the complete joke and then have it move onto the next one by clicking something; button or whatever. Then you make a new post for new jokes and a moderator for the jokes board transfers the content from the new jokes inside the area where all the current ones are.
We'd also need an option list to show off all the jokes...
Is it at all possible to code all that? Its more towards html coding rather than ubbc or whatever, being on the main board area under footers.

Shoutbox? like that chatango thing I have or the one here ?
Not what I was going for.
More like where you have a div to capture a bunch of content but with options to move around the content I guess? Hard to put into picture words, hmm.

Perhaps one of the Code Database codes might be modified to function as a Joke Database?

its the "div to capture a bunch of content" that is confusing me. it sounds like you want a textbox where people can type in jokes?

No no, look here: cloudianpublicity.com/index.cgi?board=comedy&action=display&thread=2121I want to take the content made from each post like that into the set sized box on the Laughs board. The div thing I came up with only because I couldnt think of how else to describe it. A box with the content in it, you see only one joke content per and you can choose from an option list as well as a next joke/previous joke buttons to go back and forth and around all the jokes. If you were to copy and paste all the content into one small area and then put it in a div you would see all that content at once and with the side and bottom bars from the div to scroll up and down at the rpeset height and width. What I want from doing that is to only see one Joke content at a time, all the content in a single psot as it is right now, and again be able to have a full lsit of all the jokes and a back and next button. Theres the jump around the page coding available to go back and forth between content on the one page that I know of, but it would still show all the content at once. I simply want it to show only the one joke content area at a time while having the ability to easily surf the list of jokes. |

what Im understanding, is you want to copy the contents from each post, and paste into the headers so that it gets displayed in a box that has controls similar to "previous" and "next"?

Copy the contents from each post, paste it into headers, displayed in a box area, and yes with controls that you can switch from next to previous joke.
However if we copy and paste all the content in there and put a scrolling div to make into a box area its just going to be all that content shown at once scrolling way down.
I need it to show only one joke at a time though, hiding the others until you push the next or previous betweens to navigate the jokes.
and preferrably theres a list next to the next and previous buttons that lets you go through each joke from the whole. Go down the list, find a joke, punch it in and get taken to that joke.
We could use the quicklinks function like we have going on the tvshows board in the box, but again I would like the box to show only one joke at a time.
thoughts?

the "list showing every joke that you can punch in and go to that joke" wont be something simple. replies in the thread arent in an extractable numerical order. sometimes it seemsthey are, but they arent. if a joke was on page 11 there isnt a way to know what the post number will be for it. unless you also want to store the page number and post number of every joke.

Is it possible for us to put in all the joke content in the scrolling box and then show only the chosen joke 1 at a time ? Whilst using the quicklinks to jump to each joke with the list and next/previous buttons.
Were intending to copy and paste all the joke content into that one area, then have it shown one at a time with the ability to go between each one... I know that using the quicklinks is possible for that, I dont know if its possible for it to work if were also trying to hide everything but the chosen joke quick link at the time.

quicklinks is only possible if you want to manually enter in the address under "link to post" you see at the bottom of each post.
making a box that only shows 1 image at a time can be done.

yep. like I said, all typed in manually. except individual posts have that extra #num as well as page number to make the link go to the correct post.

Im not sure I get where your getting at. Wed be copying and pasting all the contents over into one area so it wouldnt matter that individual posts have the extra page number....
