Hello everybody,

I just noticed that the date does not show up in the upper right corner of my site anymore. Any Ideas why? site = http://www.wnyrcinfo.com

Thanks for the help!

I just looked at your page source and it looks like your html in your header.html is messed up. Huge gaps in the format. Looks like someone used spaces on the keyboard for spaces in html. Could just be the way I'm looking at though. Check your header.html for propper html. Compare it to a copy of it that you have not modified, for errors.

Ok, here is my new code, you were right, it was very dirty.

Code:

<table class="bodyline" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> 	
	<tr> 	
		<td align="center" valign="top">
	    <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	<tr>        
		<td height="110" background="themes/fisubsilver/images/cellpic_bkg.jpg">[img]themes/fisubsilver/images/logo.gif[/img]</td>  
	</tr>
</table>    
	<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
      <tr>
	     <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
	  <tr>
	     <td width="150" nowrap><font class="content">$theuser</font></td>
		 <td nowrap><div align="center"><font class="content">::Home
		       :: Downloads
			   :: <a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account">Your                     
			   Account</a> :: Forums
			   :: Racing Chat
			   ::</font></div></td>
		 <td width="150" nowrap><div align="center"><font class="content">
		     <script type="text/javascript">
			 <!--   // Array ofmonth Names
var monthNames = new Array( "January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");
var now = new Date();
thisYear = now.getYear();
if(thisYear < 1900) {thisYear += 1900}; // corrections if Y2K display problem
document.write(monthNames[now.getMonth()] + " " + now.getDate() + ", " + thisYear);
// -->
</script>                  
				   </font></div></td>
			</tr>          
		</table></td>
	</tr>    
  </table>    
  <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">      
  	<tr>        
	  <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">[img]themes/fisubsilver/images/7px.gif[/img]</td>
	</tr>    
  </table>        
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center"> 
<tr valign="top">        
  <td>$public_msg[img]themes/fisubsilver/images/7px.gif[/img]</td>
</tr></table>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
   <tr valign="top">  
     <td valign="top" width="1" background="themes/fisubsilver/images/7px.gif">
	 </table>
	 </table>

Now when I use this the blocks are all out of wack, any idea why?
I did notice that in a fresh one from the pack ther is no public message table, Could that be my problem.

Thanks for you help

I've had that problem before, but I just can't remember what I did to fix it. Did you recently add the banner to your site? I'm thinking there is a javascript conflict somewhere.

Actually the reason your blocks are messed up is part of that code is missing.

From here down this is how it should look:

Code:

                  <script type="text/javascript">
<!--   // Array ofmonth Names
var monthNames = new Array( "January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");
var now = new Date();
thisYear = now.getYear();
if(thisYear < 1900) {thisYear += 1900}; // corrections if Y2K display problem
document.write(monthNames[now.getMonth()] + " " + now.getDate() + ", " + thisYear);
// -->
</script>
                  </font></div></td>
            </tr>
          </table></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
    <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
      <tr>
        <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">[img]themes/fisubsilver/images/7px.gif[/img]</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
        <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
      <tr valign="top">
        <td>$public_msg[img]themes/NukeNews/images/pixel.gif[/img]</td>
</tr></table>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr valign="top">
  <td valign="top" width="1" background="themes/fisubsilver/images/7px.gif">

That public message table is messing things up.

do you mean banner as in Ad banners or public message. I have always used ad banners, but for some reason i now get this error in the "Current active banner section" (the part were you can activate banners and see clicks, %, ect.
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /path_to_my_site/site/includes/sql_layer.php on line 301
Unknown column 'weight' in 'field list'

Thanks

as for the public message table, IT IS there in the fisubsilver pack. It's called from the theme.php and displayed in the header.html.

Code:

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr valign="top">
  <td valign="top" width="1" background="themes/fisubsilver/images/7px.gif">

Well I guess it doesnt matter, that worked guys,

Thanks a ton!!

Now about that ad banner problem
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /path_to_my_site/site/includes/sql_layer.php on line 301
Unknown column 'weight' in 'field list'

is that looking at the wrong sql table?

Thanks

Martin · 03-03-2003, 08:39 PM

I'm not getting any errors, everything seems to be working perfect.

dac · 03-03-2003, 08:43 PM

What I was getting at is in the ad banner administration in the section "Current Active Banners" I am receiving this error

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /path_to_my_site/site/includes/sql_layer.php on line 301
Unknown column 'weight' in 'field list'

I add banners and modify them, I just cant make them active or see the stats for them

Thanks
