[MyBB]A few problems

[Maestro]

Hi, I have 3 problems with MyBB, post as a user and administrator. I'd be glad for any help to resolving these issues

1. Adding links to the top bar

This is the code for my current links:

Code:

<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help"><span>{$lang->toplinks_help}</span></a></li>

If I try the below code, all I get is an empty space where the link should be:

Code:

<li><a href="http://erepublik.com"><span>{$lang->toplinks_help}</span></a></li>

2. Seeing the edit toolbar when creating a thread

Whenever I try to create a thread, instead of the usual editing tool bars with button-BBcode I get this:



I've had this problem for about 2 months now, if I CTRL+F5 then I get the normal tool bars, but it's generally a pain in the ass. This only happens to MyBB forums though.

3. Can't find a MyBB Plugin

I'm looking for a MyBB plugin (or code) that will fade in/out different messages in the header. An example can be founder here.

Thank You for any help

For number three, that is just an html command. There are header plugins, but you'll need to code it yourself.

That doesn't work :/

[Maestro]

Any help?

[Maestro]

Sorry for reviving an old topic, but I desperately need help on 1.

[Maestro]

Can anybody assist me?

[Peter L]

Link me to your forum, I'll try.

[Solidus]

You don't need the {$lang->toplinks_help}, that defines the title for help.
Use this,

Code:

<a href="http://mysite.com"> TITLE </a>

You probably don't need <li> tags either.

#2 Check all the javascript files are present, and revert newthread and newreply templates.

#3 That's SMF. Just place 2 links in your topbar,

[rampage2gene]

Just before i ask any other question are you familiar with the php code, if not go to http://w3schools.com.

Thanks for the help guys, I've semi-fixed the problem now :thumbs up:

But, I've encountered another one for guests.

After making the below changes to the Quacktacular theme's "header_welcomeblock_guest":

Code:

<div class="upper_panel">
<span class="float_right"><a href="http://kashmirforums.co.cc"><img src="http://kashmirforums.co.cc/board/images/home.png"/> Home</a><a href="http://aalaw-kashmircalls.org"><img src="http://kashmirforums.co.cc/board/images/aalaw.png" alt="" title=""/> Aalaw</a><a href="http://frontlinekashmir.com"><img src="http://kashmirforums.co.cc/board/images/fk.png" alt="" title=""/> Frontline Kashmir</a></span>
    
<!--
    lang.username = "{$lang->login_username}";
    lang.password = "{$lang->login_password}";
    lang.login = "{$lang->login}";
    lang.lost_password = " <a href=\"{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=lostpw\" class=\"login\">{$lang->lost_password}<\/a>";
    lang.register_url = " <a href=\"{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=register\" class=\"register\">{$lang->welcome_register}<\/a>";
    lang.remember_me = "{$lang->remember_me}";
// -->
</script>
<div id="ql_condense"><span id="quick_login">{$lang->welcome_guest} <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=login" onclick="MyBB.quickLogin(); return false;" class="login">{$lang->welcome_login}</a><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=register" class="register">{$lang->welcome_register}</a></span></div>
</div>
<div class="middle_panel mp_round" onclick="location.href='{$mybb->settings['bburl']}';">
      <h1 class="ts_round"  id="thetitle"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}">{$mybb->settings['bbname']}</a></h1>
</div>

If I click the AJAX "Login" button, I get the following instead of "Login" and "Remember Me":



This is going to be a pain in the backside for newer users, and it makes the forum look bad. I want to release this forum to the public soon, and this makes the deadline seem even harder to reach.

Thanks for the previous help, I'd appreciate it if I could be supported further
