Ning Network Tips - Archived Tips

Mm you do can do it, by css, it's simple i had done it with my [change navigation letters to picture] thing. If you know how to change the nav to picture like usual site. You know the drill.

It's simple just use the spesific code of the tabs, and #xg_tab_groups like that if i remember, then change the background of it, at hover #xg_tab_groups:hover, like that. iF IT isn't Ning default or you add the tab yourself, found out the css class it supposed to look like this #xg_tab_123 with numbers and such.

Sora,, thanks! I think we got that done for Carny Town on another forum. You're very kind to offer help on this.

Thanks again,

Jen

Mario!

Thank you for your kind and supportive comments! I really appreciate it. I have started a discussion in the Premium Tips for Testimonials. if you would like to copy/paste your comments there, I will add you to the News Ticker Expander on the home page. Or, if you like, I can copy/paste from here, with your permission.

;-)

Thanks again,

Jen

Hi DOUB ,

The showcase points is an old script from scripts4ning . It is no longer available nor able to use it on your network as it requires to go into Ning core files to install through Webdav.

I have added the the forum as a feature on the main page. I have chosen detail view. It seems to only have one line space between the discussions and looks too cluttered. Is there a way to make it double spaced or a space and a half between each discussion. I wish I could have the same format as on the Forum page itself, but it seems they formatted the main page forum differently. Any help would be appreciated!!

I have a big problem with the way the discussion forum lists comments. i really need to be able to list the latest comment first. Why they have it the other way around makes no sense. Is there anyway to make this happen? Any help would be appreciated.  Barbara

Barbara,

This always confuses me. I don't think it's possible to control the order of Forum replies. However, you can control whether the replies are threaded or flat, and the order of discussions on the main Forum page. And here's what is really confusing: You can control the order of comments for everything else.

Order of Comments

Forum Control - what's available

Hi, Jen.... I will like to have a fixed picture in my web, like El Camino Lovers's Page has it ... I mean, when I scroll down the picture in the back stay fixed... How can I do it ?

Ramon,

1. Optimize the picture you want in Photoshop or here.
2. Upload the image to your file manager (or a blog).
3. Copy the image URL & replace the "Your Image URL" in the code below with the one from your image.
4. Add the entire code to your advanced CSS.

/* Background that stays still */
body {background-size:100% 100%; background: url(Your Image URL)fixed center top;
}

Thank you for your support Fire-Tech.   I did it, but it's the same... I mean, the two soccer balls still are moving down or up :(  

I have tried with

body {
background:#000000 url(http://futbolquisqueyano.com/balon dominicano.jpg) no-repeat fixed center top!important;}

But still the same

You can check it at http://www.futbolquisqueyano.com

Thank you for your time

Your image URL is bad. If you are using the blog method:

1. Start a new blog
2. Click on the file icon (not the photo Icon) and upload your image
3. Make your blog only visible to you
4. Publish the blog
5. Click on the file you uploaded within the blog (this will open the picture in a new tab in your browser)
6. Copy that URL from the new browser tab and put it in the code from before
7. Add the code to your Advanced CSS

Hope that helps :)

Ramon,

You have several things going on, and difficult to test this. I see the following code, and the backgrounds need to be removed. They are overtaking your efforts for body background. Remove the code in bold. Be sure to back up Advanced CSS, first.

Thanks Fire-Tech!

Thank you again Fire-Tech and now it looks more or less as I want, but if you go to my page you will see that is not working yet, for some reason it shows me the background in white.  Maybe I have to do something at the Design... Please go to my web and check it... thanks

It looks like there's still a conflict. Double check that you removed all of the code that Jen mentioned. The code works fine on my test network. 

Thanks Jen and Fire-Tech for your help...

It looks like the code want to work but something is happening... here you will find all the codes I have at CSS Advanced

/* Scroll Bar for Blogs */
.xg_widget_main .module_blog .xg_module_body {height: 500px;overflow : auto;position:relative;}


/* Scroll Bar for Latest Activity */
.xg_widget_main .xg_module_activity .xg_module_body {height: 500px;overflow : auto;position:relative;}

Thank you Jen an Fire-Tech... I fixed (with your help)..

At the Page Background and the Canvas Background, the color was white, and now I put it Transparent and now is working  :)

Thank you both a lot  (y)

Glad you got it working. You are welcome:)

Great, happy to hear it. Thanks for the update!
