[BETA] Netscape Sidebar User Tab Mod SP1!
Apr 3rd, 2002 at 8:32pm
Print Post  
Hi everyone,
I have a beta done of my first mod(using a few other people's mods), and I need testers. The mod is used to create a netscape sidebar tab for the last few versions of netscape. If you are logged in it will show others logged in, how many people are logged in and display a hello message. If someone can help me figure out why I can't get recent topics to work in the print_hello_and_who_is_online mod then I can get it to list recent topics as well. This is an AWSOME mod that should help boost any forums visits(of netscape users at least) by keeping users constantly connected to yabb forums. let me know if you want a beta or you want to help  Cheesy  Grin

NOTE: Do NOT install this mod if you already have print_hello_and_who_is_online, or the who_is_online mod, uninstall that mod then install this one as this one contains the same mods.

The mod itself works in either version. Meaning that you can insert code in any webpage and it will show in ie or netscape. But the "sidebar tab" is a netscape feature. I have included in the zip the html files to put on your website so that netscape users can add a sidebar tab for your forum. It is basically a small html page customized for the sidebar tab that refreshes every 120 seconds (this is the default I set it at). IE users cannot install the sidebar tab but you can use the same codes from the original hello_and_who_is_online mod on your homepage. Hope this clearifies it. Has anyone installed it yet?? Note you don't have to be running NS yourself, this is something for YOUR USERS(except to preview it of course)!!!

It doesn't really matter if you use netscape or not. The point is that you want your netscape users to be always attached to your site. I am working on a similar version for IE, but it's not as easy Smiley

What're you going to use for IE, active channels or whatever they're called?

Btw, do you have a sample of your mod running somewhere? I'd like to try it out.

I use something like this at my site. You can access the page normally by going here:
http://www.dune2k.com/mysidebar.shtml

Or go to the main page and click the add sidebar panel at the top of the page. And anyone who says Netscape sucks hasn't tried the lastest version of Mozilla. Smiley

I have the netscape bar on my site go to http://www.damien-hs.edu and click on messageboards. There is a link in the news for the netscape bar. Just use a username like delete me. I am still trying to get the latest topics to work.

Looks neat.

I have the latest version and it's nice, but as far as I'm concerned, it still sucks because it can't display HTML according to specs.

I got a version working now with recent topics working, except that it only shows recent topics for boards that a guest can view. Once I figure out how to correct this I will post the new version.
