Old Codes that are not working

[jr]

www.thescooterprofessor.proboards.com/index.cgi

I've been trying to add a few things to my forum and have done quite a few things lately with good success but these two old codes from the Proboards data base just will not work on my forum?

One id add spell check to the quick reply box and the other put the age of your forum in the Info center. I checked to make sure I had put them in the right place and didn't miss anything with no luck.

The spell check code is very long. I took both of these codes out after they didn't work but if I need to put them back in for you to look at I will. I would appreciate if you could look at these two codes.

Second one is forum age in the Info center.



<script type="text/javascript">

var startDate = ['28','06','2005']; // Forum start date in the form ['day','month','year']

// no need to edit below
if(pb_action == 'home') {
var td = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
var sta = new Date();
sta.setDate(startDate[0]);
sta.setMonth(startDate[1]-1);
sta.setYear(startDate[2]);
var cur = new Date();
var dif = cur - sta;
var totalMonth = 0;
var totalYear = 0;
var totalDay = Math.floor(dif/(60 * 60 * 24 * 1000)) + 1;
while(totalDay >= 365) {
totalDay -= 365;
totalYear++;
}
var nDay=365/12;
while(totalDay >= nDay) {
totalDay -= nDay;
totalMonth++;
}
totalDay=Math.round(totalDay);
var age = totalDay+' days';
if(totalMonth > 0)
age += ', '+ totalMonth +' months';
if(totalYear > 0)
age += ', '+ totalYear +' year';
age += '.';
for (i=td.length-1; i>0; i--) {
if(td.width == '40%' && td[i-1].width == '60%') {
td.firstChild.innerHTML += '<br />Forum Age: '+age;
break;
}
}
}
//-->
</script>



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Or to have it in the form years, months, days use:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* add "forum age" to the info center
101support.proboards43.com - ross */

var startDate = ['28','06','2005']; // Forum start date in the form ['day','month','year']

// no need to edit below
if(pb_action == 'home') {
var td = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
var sta = new Date();
sta.setDate(startDate[0]);
sta.setMonth(startDate[1]-1);
sta.setYear(startDate[2]);
var cur = new Date();
var dif = cur - sta;
var totalMonth = 0;
var totalYear = 0;
var totalDay = Math.floor(dif/(60 * 60 * 24 * 1000)) + 1;
while(totalDay >= 365) {
totalDay -= 365;
totalYear++;
}
var nDay=365/12;
while(totalDay >= nDay) {
totalDay -= nDay;
totalMonth++;
}
totalDay=Math.round(totalDay);
var age = "";
if(totalYear > 1)
age += totalYear +' years, ';
else if(totalYear > 0)
age += totalYear +' year, ';
if(totalMonth > 0)
age += totalMonth +' months, ';
age += totalDay+' days.';
for (i=td.length-1; i>0; i--) {
if(td.width == '40%' && td[i-1].width == '60%') {
td.firstChild.innerHTML += '<br />Forum Age: '+age;
break;
}
}
}
//-->
</script>



[M�D:annoyed]

[Wormopolis]

since you removed them, I couldnt begin to tell you why they didnt work. where did you put them in the h/f?

[jr]

First of all thank you so much for your reply and let me update you. I'll start by saying I am a admin on two forums and most of the codes I can use on both and I'll start with the simple code first.

I just read and used a code from this old code that worked like a charm on my oldest forum and it's the forum age code found right here:

support.proboards.com/thread/102685/date-board-created?scrollTo=691229&page=1

As told I had to update it and change one line to this:

if(location.href.match(/com\/?((index\.cgi)?\??(action=(ma.+ad|logout|home))?(#.+)?)?$/)){

I works great at this forum and is in the main footer:

www.thescooterprofessor.proboards.com/index.cgi

You can scroll down to the bottom of the page and see Forum age and again it'sa great, I just of course put the date my forum was founded.

But this same code will not work at the new forum I am also a admin at:

itistheride.boards.net/index.cgi

On the same link where I found the old code that does work you can read by the next poster this old code does not work with the ultimate info center?

support.proboards.com/thread/102685/date-board-created?scrollTo=691229&page=1

I don't know if this is the case of my new forum or not but I did try to make the code work that he suggested and maybe I just didn't know how to set it up right? He did say that it worked. The forum start dated of my new forum is 02/01/2013. Can you look at this for me and see if this code can be changed to work in the newer froum? Or maybe the old one changed to work?

I will start a new reply for the spell check code.

Thank you so much.

[jr]

Ok I got this code from this link:

support.proboards.com/thread/70518

I also just went back and put it back in my oldest forum so you could review it and according to the directions it goes in the global footer.

www.thescooterprofessor.proboards.com/index.cgi

Now you can scroll down any thread and now see the spell check box right by the post reply box in the quick reply box and just put a few mispelled words in the quick reply and then click on spell check to see what happens.

This is the same for both forums so If I correct it for one I would think it would work at the other?

Thanks again for your help.

[Wormopolis]

the forum age code, should be in main footer, but this line

if(location.href.match(/com\/?((index\.cgi)?\??(action=(ma.+ad|logout|home))?(#.+)?)?$/)){

change that to be this:

if (pb_action=='home'){





as for spell check, when v5 converted the support forum, many codes became corrupted because they had single variable letters that matched UBBC codes and the person who posted it, didnt put the code in a code box. so all of those codes have to be fixed. which is what I just did on support, so recopy it from there and put it in global footer again.

[jr]

As usual Worm you're right on and it works like a charm. Did I understand you to say that this spell check will work with the new V5 format?

Man I've really had my head in the sand! I didn't realize that the V5 conversion was mandatory until today! I did go and sign up to opt out and got a key code to build a test forum to get ready and with until december I'll be fine but I'm having trouble signing in right?

When I enter my info it keeps telling me that the URL I enetered is invalid on my forum name and it does it when I say copy old board or create a new one? have asked for help on the proboards help forum.

And on the forum age code someone told me that the reason it wouldn't work on the one forum but did on the other was a simple one is a .com forum and the other is a .net forum. Made a change here from com to net and it worked great.

if(location.href.match(/com\/?((index\.cgi)?\??(action=(ma.+ad|logout|home))?(#.+)?)?$/)){

Will this code work with V5? I'm going to copy and paste all my codes and check them out when I get a test board going.

Thanks

[Wormopolis]

the spell check wouldnt work with the new v5 because its layout is different. one of the reasons behind not having a spell check is most modern browsers have one built in. you just have to right click on the word that is misspelled and it presents a list.


the forum age thing CAN indeed be fixed by replacing .com with .net, but the reason I said to use what I did, is because mine doesnt care what the domain is. you can reuse mine anywhere and not have to change anything after it. plus all that stuff after it was legacy from v3 and v4 that isnt used anymore. simply pb_action=='home' is always accurate .


you might want to check if Peter or Todge is writing up a spellcheck for V5 for the people that still want it. I know they wont be making it a feature anymore for the reason above, but a plugin might still be made.

[Wormopolis]

and there IS a forum age plugin available
