I like this on my site. I used this .script from dynamic drive:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/floatbar.htm

The .script puts a floting static box in your browser than can be configure to close. I have the user block set up on mine. Once a user see's how many posts since last vist and clicks the link. they close the box and it reopens next time they log on.

How to do it:
Then I open the block file that I want, on my site i opend templates/efusion/blocks/user_block

I edited the block to get it how I wanted it to look.

I copied the code and pastes it in between the <div> tage of the .script from above.

Then go to acp/im portal / blocks config to enable user block.

Bang, it works.

Try it out, username: test
password: test

i think this might be what im' looking for with the news block.

after members have read a news article, will this enable them to close it so they dont keep seeing it every time they go back to the home page?

ok tried it out on your site - i closed the floating window quickly cos i found it annoying moving about with me.

is there a way to get this to work with the existing blocks so they can be closed even while static?

now this is more like it :

that'd be cool for the news block - once people hav read the news in one session, they dont wanna keep seeing it.

Update: It works perfectly!!! The news block just slides open and closed when the user wants it to.

triple :mrgreen:

we need to sort out your profile page tho - u still have phone number fields - who in their right mind would put their home telephone number on the internet?

I can not get that .script to work in IE. It will not stay closed. Did you have any trouble?

yep - same problem even tho it says IE5+ in the corner <img>

need to contact the website or creator.

works perfectly on firefox tho.

Hmm, its a pity because it is a lovel .script.

Although on the website, it works in IE. There must be some conflicting .scripts in IM portal putting it off.

no it's IE that can't read properly - looking on their forum

(and this site won't let me post it in a code box)

This makes it work, but it messes up my template a little bit.

More trouble.

not sure if the code box will let me post it here but my top line is now:

but my page starts with the doctype

DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"

and then <head>

then the java.script and the rest of the page.

I deleted the html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" line which follows the doctype.

I can't test it out cos i'm on a mac, hav u tried the same in yours and what is the result?

You are editing your overall_header.tpl file yes?

Posted: **Tue Feb 05, 2008 4:46 pm**

No, this is all in the blocks/news_block.tpl

what shud i put in overall_header.tpl and where hav u put the animatedcollapse.js file?

Posted: **Tue Feb 05, 2008 5:11 pm**

hmm, there is no:

DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"

At the start of any of my block tpl files. Did you just press 'view source' in your browser?

Posted: **Tue Feb 05, 2008 5:13 pm**

no, i added that doctype into blocks/news_block.tpl

Posted: **Tue Feb 05, 2008 5:16 pm**

ah rite, ill try it now

Posted: **Tue Feb 05, 2008 5:30 pm**

No difference.

I am kind of moving away from that .script cause I want one that remembers the open or closed position as they move from page to page.

Posted: **Tue Feb 05, 2008 5:57 pm**

Auke created something like that for the forum on [url=http]IntegraMod.nl[/url]

perhaps it could also be made to work with the blocks?

Posted: **Tue Feb 05, 2008 6:20 pm**

ok putting the doctype and the <head> java.script in the overall_header.tpl and the same again in the blocks/news_block.tpl seems to work as i just had a new user on IE7 describe it as working exactly as it works in FF.

btw, that js thing does hav memory of a sort... it's open for a new login, but once u change page and go back to the home page, it closes automatically, which is exactly what i want it to do.

if people want to read it after they've first logged in, they can choose to open it and if they forget to close it before moving to another page, it'll close itself when they come back again.

the problem i find with memory is that people forget what they set then can't find it lol.

but Auke's thing in IntegraMod.nl would be well worth checking out.
