Remove the whole category bar

[rachel8889]

Ok so I have hidden my boards and replaced them by placing their links in sidebars. What I want is the lone category bar to go away, be hidden, something. I have tried the forum name/last post code but it doesn't take the whole thing off.

Here is my site so perhaps you can see what I want: www.planetofeden.proboards.com

I hope it's not too much trouble.

as a guest I cant see the categories at all, so what I suspect will be the easiest thing to do: go into each category and set it to be hidden.

or am I not seeing something I should be?

[rachel8889]

No, even as a member you wouldn't see the categories. I've already hidden them. There is this bar thing that is still there though. But I guess it would be ok if I could either fix the newsfader to be longer and so the message wouldn't fade. Either that or have the top middle message box to where it stays only on the main page rather than being on every page. I figured putting the code for the box in the main header rather than global would set it for only the main page. Guess not.

post a picture of what you are seeing then, because I dont see the category bar at all.

[rachel8889]

Well nevermind that. What about making the table between the sidetables only on the main page instead of every page. I thought putting it in the main header would do that but obviously not. Anything you can do?

[Wormopolis]

you mean that newcomers table?

[rachel8889]

yes sir

[Wormopolis]

well you CAN actually put that in global headers and have it only show on main page.

to start off, put that table in global headers, and give it a unique id, like id="newcomertable"
and also give it a style="display: none"

so for example

<table id="newcomertable" style="display: none">

if you have other attributes to that table already just add the two new ones in before the closing > mark.

let me know when you have that done.

[rachel8889]

I have done that. Now it is above everything instead of between the sidetables and it has messed up the code for the message sidetable.....


<table id="newcomertable" style="display: none">
<br><table width="25%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" align="center" class="bordercolor";>
<tr>
<td class="titlebg" width="25%" colspan="2" height="25" align="center">
<font size="2" color="9999FF"> New Comers! Please read: </font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<tr>
<td width="30%" class="windowbg" vAlign="top">
<div style="overflow: auto; width: 550px; height: 200px;">
<center>
<b>Welcome To Eden!

<table id="newcomertable" style="display: none">
<br><table width="25%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" align="center" class="bordercolor";>

needs to be

<br><table width="25%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" align="center" class="bordercolor" id="newcomertable" style="display: none">

[rachel8889]

I that and now the table is completely gone. Should the display be something other than none?

[Wormopolis]

nope it was supposed to be gone. that is what the display: none part was for.

we did that so it could hang out in global headers above your side tables.

now in the main header (or footer if you want it to load a little slower), put this:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (pb_action=='home') document.getElementById('newcomertable').style.display='';
</script>

[rachel8889]

Alright, well it worked so I'm happy about that. I just didn't want it above the sidetables. I wanted it between them. If it's too much trouble or if I'm just getting on your nerves then it's no big deal but I would just rather it be between the sidetables.

[Wormopolis]

you just need to move the table you made to the bottom of the side tables code HEADER part. that way it processes the left side table, then your special table, then the forum, then the right side tables.

make sure the script part I gave you happens AFTER the table part. probably at this point it would be safest to move the script part to below the side tables FOOTER part so that it doesnt get parsed too early.

[Wormopolis]

and you arent getting on my nerves. I wouldnt have this section if I didnt want to help people.
