Welcome to the support forum of forumotion hide button?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how can i add this button http://prntscr.com/8hk9se to be able to hide/open in there.

Thanks in advance!

You press that button(-), and it should disappear.

The problem is i don't see it on my forum and i was wondering how could i add it to MY forum, i'm sorry if i wasn't clear enough in my first post.

Hello @Kirbs

you can try following this tutorial
=> https://help.forumotion.com/t102749-category-toggle-all-forums

I did exactly what the tutorial said and still nothing happened .-.

@Kirbs are you sure your JS management panel is ON

I'm positive, I've got many java scripts in there.

Bump

Hi @Kirbs,

Place this at the beginning of your homepage message :

Code:

<a id="homepageToggle" href="#">Hide</a>
<div id="homepageBox">

and this at the end :

Code:

</div>
<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
(function() {
  var toggle = document.getElementById('homepageToggle'),
      box = document.getElementById('homepageBox');

  if (my_getcookie('fa_homepage') == 'hidden') {
    toggle.innerHTML = 'Show';
    box.style.display = 'none';
  }

  // toggle logic
  toggle.onclick = function(e) {
    var box = document.getElementById('homepageBox');

    if (/none/.test(box.style.display)) {
      my_setcookie('fa_homepage', 'shown');
      toggle.innerHTML = 'Hide';
      box.style.display = '';
    } else {
      my_setcookie('fa_homepage', 'hidden');
      toggle.innerHTML = 'Show';
      box.style.display = 'none';
    }

    e.preventDefault();
  };
})();
// par ange tuteur
//]]></script>

I added it but instead of the images buttons showing up a text that says Show/Hide appears in the middle that hides/shows it. Anyway to add the button images instead? Also its only working on the homepage message, I kinda want it to work on all categories just like this forum.

If you want images, just replace Show and Hide with an HTML image. Ex :

Code:

<img src="img_source" />

They occur multiple times, so make sure to replace them all.

As for the toggle of categories, ours is separate from the homepage message. Your forum version is phpbb2, correct ?

EDIT :
If it is, these topics might help :
https://help.forumotion.com/t114673-toggle-category-for-phpbb2-forum
https://help.forumotion.com/t127962-hide-show-forum-categories-phpbb2-in-board-index

I have multiple codes in the homepage message and the way i'm adding it now, it's hiding everything in the homepage message when clicked, i just want it to hide/show one single thing is that possible?

Yes, of course. Remember the ending tag I told you to add ? Remove that, and then place it before what you want hidden, leaving the other contents visible.

This is the code now:

Code:


<a id="homepageToggle" href="#"><img src="http://2img.net/i/fa/m/tabs_less1.gif" /></a>
<div id="homepageBox">

The buttons are showing now but they're not working, when i click the hide button it just scrolls me back to the top of the page and i want that button to be on the right side of the homepage is there a way to fix it?

Of course, replace your homepage message with this :

Code:


<a id="homepageToggle" href="#" style="float:right;"><img src="http://2img.net/i/fa/m/tabs_less1.gif" /></a>
<div id="homepageBox">

Thanks ange it works now just one more thing, is there a way to put a line on top of the homepage message just like this one in the bottom?
http://prntscr.com/8jvve3
Or just simply have it say something like this and it would show up even when hiding the rest like this
http://prntscr.com/8jvvxr
also have the whole thing in a box like that image above?

thanks!

Add this to your CSS :

Code:

#homepageToggle {
  display:block;
  background:#58B469;
  border-radius:3px 3px 0 0;
  text-align:right;
  width:100%;
  padding:2px;
}

It should make the line you want.

Thanks ange! i just noticed something went wrong with the codes now for some reason, the toggle works perfectly but when you try to click on one of the tabs in the table it scrolls you up to the top of the page instead you can see it and try it here (you don't need to be signed up) http://pendulumsduelacademy.forumotion.com

Weird everything seemed to be working for me.

Can you tell me how do you make that image/vid thingy so i can show you what's happening to me?

I use camtasia recorder to record the screen and then select custom production settings to convert it into an animated gif. Anyway, if you're experiencing it and I'm not, my assumptions are that this only occurs while logged in, correct ? Try testing it while logged out.

I just tried it with another browser and it worked perfectly so thanks ange but there is a problem happening to my forum i don't know how or why or how to fix it
http://prntscr.com/8jwm0b
http://prntscr.com/8jwm9p
as you can see there are black pieces all over the forum how can i remove/change the color of them?

The wrapper background ?

You can use this CSS to completely remove it :

Code:

.bodyline {
  background:none;
  border:none;
}

or this CSS to make it see through :

Code:

.bodyline {
  background:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
  border:none;
}

That'll do it, thanks a lot ange im somehow lagging so i can't see the mark solved button but this is solved.

You're welcome ^^
