Ask the 8ball

[dymo]

this is another one of those scriptlets i had collected that i modified to provide a bit of fun for my users but its giving me a bit of a problem, its completely functional, just the response to the question is being parsed to the top of the page rather than under the question

add a template called 8ball
and insert the following


Code:

copy the attached 8ball.php into your forums directory
and then run it ie http://yoursite.com/forums/8ball.php

you can see a working demo here (http://www.gamer-networks.com/forums/8ball.php)

the answer in the corner is a bug hence its a beta release.

the header info you get on my forums is in the process of being hacked right now to support multiple cookies, just refresh it and it goes away.

if anyone has an idea of how to get the answer to appear under the question i could really use it


Xi the js should work on anything higher than ie 4 and ns 4, if the browser cnt use it , it should ignored, the js only provides the idiot correct of someone submitting a blank question

I like this hack alot and i have added more than a couple hundred different sayings to this 8 Ball. If someone else can create this hack to work with my 8 ball that i made with photoshop and insert the message inside the ball that would be awesome. That would be cool if there was a fading effect when you clicked the buttons after typing in your question and the page doesnt refresh to see you answer. Right when you click the button the 8 ball will fade to the answer. Is anyone with me on this one and willing to help?

[GenSec]

You can look at my version here (http://www.2x2online.com/magicmirror.php).

[BigJohnson]

Can you please post your version. That would be great. It looks great. Thanks.

Îê. Everything in the txt file.

THANKS Dymo for the nice forum addon!

[Boofo]

This part is kindof confusing in your text file:

Step 2: Replace in 8ball.php the last section to:

As is this part:

include("./footer.php"); //may be in your case it should be deleted

Can you please explain it a little better to this newbie? :)
