That works Perfect! Thats helpful!

[Rudolpho]

Ca you provide a practical use for having left-side menu as well as, or instead of (?) the top of the screen (Home, Help, Search etc) menu.

If it was fixed I could see a use as it would always be visible unlike the top menu system...

Thanks.

[ME!]

it can be used for many purposes, one it can have links for other resources,or it could have important links within the forum , such as Rules or other important information you wish to attract the members to see. thier are many diffnrt ways it can be used, but your choice of using it is your own.

[Rudolpho]

So, it's just a way to have links that aren't part of any board. Hmmm... OK. Thanks.

[ME!]

they can be part of the board or not, it can be anything.

[Rudolpho]

How can they be part of a board if it's a seperate menu outside the central table of boards? Unless you mean that there can be a different menu for each board or sub-board?

[ME!]

its a table , i can be used on any of the board or subboards, each board has a set of headders and footers.

Thank you! Danny!

I want to put a Pm in left side menu! Is there a code for that?

[Danny]

Do you mean for e.g

new pms: 0 , Total Pms: 2

or something like that

[erika]

Yes! ! "Total Pm" , New Pm, when you are login! When you are not i need "login" or "register"

Thanks Danny

[Danny]

here you go I added some extra things in for you .

sorry about the strangeness of the code I was experimenting with DOM

put this where you want the pm stuff to be in your table.

<div id="pm"></div>


then put this anywhere under it


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/*Pm Center In Side Table By Danny For Erika*/

document.body.innerHTML.match(/hey, .*, you have <.*>(.*) messages?.*?, (\d+,\d+|\d+) (are|is) new/i);
var totalPms = RegExp.$1
var newPms = RegExp.$2
var pmTotal = document.createTextNode("Total Pm\'s: "+totalPms);
var pmNew = document.createTextNode("New Pm\'s: "+newPms);
var inbox = document.createElement("a");
inbox.href ='/index.cgi?action=pm&view=1';
inbox.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Inbox"));
var outbox = document.createElement("a");
outbox.href ='/index.cgi?action=pm&view=2';
outbox.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Outbox"));
var send = document.createElement("a");
send.href ='/index.cgi?action=pmsend';
send.appendChild(document.createTextNode("New Message"));
var login = document.createElement("a");
login.href ='/index.cgi?action=login';
login.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Login"));
var reg = document.createElement("a");
reg.href ='/index.cgi?action=register';
reg.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Register"));
if(pb_username == 'Guest'){
document.getElementById("pm").appendChild(login);
document.getElementById("pm").appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
document.getElementById("pm").appendChild(reg);
}else{
document.getElementById("pm").appendChild(pmTotal);
document.getElementById("pm").appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
document.getElementById("pm").appendChild(pmNew);
document.getElementById("pm").appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
document.getElementById("pm").appendChild(inbox);
document.getElementById("pm").appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
document.getElementById("pm").appendChild(outbox);
document.getElementById("pm").appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
document.getElementById("pm").appendChild(send);
}

</script>
