the upper news frame from your test2.htm works almost fine, the problem is that your post contains this line

src="http://nbvrl.servebeer.com/~nascar/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=news_feed_bd;action=news;type=frame;bgcolor=FFFFFF;textcolor=000000;linkcolor=0000FF" 

There is no way to wrap this line as there is no space in it. Remove and it it should show properly.

I am confused If I remove this line then the upper news Iframe won't have a source.

I just did as you can see and the news feeds in the table don't autowrap. if you resize your explorer windows as you shorten the width you will see that the text in the cells above the iframe cell in both tables auto-wraps as the width becomes narrower but the iframe text does not. here is my code for the news_template maybe there's something I'm missing there.

<table border="0" width="100%" align="center"><!--DWLayoutTable-->
<tr>
  <td colspan="2">
    <font face="verdana" size="2">
	<yabb icon> <b><yabb cat_name>: <yabb title></b></font><font face="verdana" size="1"><br>
	Written by <yabb author> on<yabb date><br>
	<br>
    </font>
  </td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td width="100%" valign="top">
    <font face="verdana" size="2">
	<yabb message><br><br>
    </font>
  </td>
  <td valign="top" align="center">
    <yabb userpic>
  </td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td colspan="2">
    <font face="verdana" size="1">
	<yabb views> times read, size: <yabb size> bytes, last comment by: <yabb lastposter><br>
    </font>
    <font face="verdana" size="2">
	<a href="<yabb viewcomments_url>" target="<yabb link_target>"><yabb comments_text></a> | <a href="<yabb print>">Print</a>
    </font>
  </td>
</tr><tr><td height="3"></td><td><img src="home/nascar/public_html/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="46" height="1"></td></tr>
</table>
<br><hr width="100%">

 

again I appreciate your patience

Excellent , it works. thank you so much for your patience.

now is there a way to resize the <yabb userpic> tags when they appear in the news feed? I need the news.pl to check for and resize userpics that are too big like the yabb board does and resize them accordingly.

thanks again michael, that's everything that was outstanding for me, thanks a bunch.

Take a look at posts #149 and #150, they show how to modify the news to to allow html.

You'll have to modify News.pl a bit:

look for

			# cut off too long messages if requested
			$size = length($message);
			if ($news_only_first_paragraph != 0 && $message =~ m/<br>/is) {
				@words = split(/<br>/,$message);
				$message = $words[0] . qq~ ... <a href="$scripturl?board=$board;action=display;num=$tnum" target="$news_link_target">$lang_news{'more'}</a>~;
			} elsif ($news_max_number_of_words != 0) {
				@words = split(/\s/,$message);
				if (@words > $news_max_number_of_words) {
					$message = "";
					for ($j = 0; $j < $news_max_number_of_words; $j++) {
						$message .= $words[$j] . " ";
					}
					$message .= qq~... <a href="$scripturl?board=$board;action=display;num=$tnum" target="$news_link_target">$lang_news{'more'}</a>~;
				}
			} 

and replace it with

			# cut off too long messages if requested
			$size = length($message);
			if ($news_only_first_paragraph != 0 && $message =~ m/<br>/is) {
				@words = split(/<br>/,$message);
				$message = $words[0];
			} elsif ($news_max_number_of_words != 0) {
				@words = split(/\s/,$message);
				if (@words > $news_max_number_of_words) {
					$message = "";
					for ($j = 0; $j < $news_max_number_of_words; $j++) {
						$message .= $words[$j] . " ";
					}
				}
			} 

then look for

$news{'send_topic_url'} = qq~$scripturl?board=$board;action=sendtopic;topic=$tnum~; 

and add the following after it:

$news{'topic_url'} = qq~$scripturl?board=$board;action=display;num=$tnum~; 

Now you have a new tag available in your news template: <yabb topic_url>. Place that arround your topic title.

Wow, that's great!
