Remote Links

[Ross]

Main Footer
This will turn any board into a remote link so when you click on a board, it will take you to another board (similar effect to what is used here). Just edit/repeat the URLs


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function remote(board,link)
 {
var td = document.getElementsByTagName("td");
  for(i=0; i<td.length; i++)
  if(td.width=='66%' && td.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href.match(new RegExp('board='+board+'$')))
   {
    td.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href = link;
    td.onclick = function(){ location.href = link; }
   }
 }
 
remote('general','http://google.com');
remote('Board ID','Site to link to');
remote('Board ID','Site to link to');

//-->
</script>

Problem: [CB] Remote Links


remote('general','http://google.com');
remote('Board ID','Site to link to');
remote('Board ID','Site to link to');



This I understand ('general','http://Bravomychat.com')

('Board ID','Site to link to');
('Board ID','Site to link to');

However, Is beyond me, hey at least the stupidest questions are the easiest to answer are they not?

^{code is curently not installed, untill I figure out Red}

[Richie]

theconfessor.proboards70.com/index.cgi?board=BOARD ID

that the "board id", for example the id for the code database here is "code"

101support.proboards43.com/index.cgi?board=code

see what i mean?

[intrco]

OK, so..

^{remote('general','http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php?usernum=1039461654&cpv=2')
remote('Board ID','theconfessor.proboards70.com/index.cgi?board=livechat');
remote('Board ID','Site to link to');}



Why are there 2 'Site to link to'

---

This I don't understand, what is the 2nd one for?

[Richie]

that's only if you want to link another board to a site. if you don't, get rid of the 2nd line.

[intrco]

remote('general','http://google.com');
remote('Board ID','Site to link to');

This is how I comperhend the above code

remote('general','http://of remote site');

remote('Board ID','http:// of remote site');

---

Therfore Is this how it should be?

remote('general','http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.intrcochat~=2 ');

remote('http://theconfessor.proboards70.com/index.cgi?board=livechat',
'http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.intrcochat~=2');

and what goes in 'general' or is it just that 'general' no changes to be made?

[Ross]

General is an example of a board ID (it's the one all forums have when they are created). You can edit that or any of the other lines to create more remote links. But by sounds of things, you'd want to just use:

remote('livechat',
'http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.intrcochat~=2');

Proboards Help is not a board any more, just FYI.

The whole idea isn't to link to the help area, it's to show an example

[dja]

is there a way to make the linka random link?

[Abhorsen Terciel]

Like on the Help site, how would you make it say"Remote Link" in the most recent posts box?
