[lockelymarkets]

I don't think we could change our cursor just for our forum? I see it in other forums but I'm not sure..

Maybe you could look on google?

Hello.

It's possible with the script generator : https://help.forumotion.com/viewtopic.forum?t=317

To use it, you just have to own and administer a forum hosted on NiceBoard (same host as editboard) and to enter its adddress (without http:// nor www) in the "Create a script" field. If your niceboard has a customized domain name, you must use the basic address, not the customized one. Once submitted, you will have then a list of script choices. You choose the scripts you want to use and you follow the indications. Once finished, submit and then, you will have a code to copy-paste in Admin Panel, General Admin/Configuration, in Site description. Don't forget to take note of the password given, in case you want to edit your script.

[klise17]

can u give some screenshot for detail?

[pauldemonteverde]

this is an another option, you can visit, http://www.dynamicdrive.com for some cursor scripts.

■ make sure you have the cursor scipt, example:

some of script is like this :

Code:

Step 1: Add the below code to the <HEAD> section of the page:

h3 {

  left:0;
  visibility:hidden;
}
-->

Step 2: Apply the following script to the <BODY>, preferably outside any other tags:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

for (k=0;k<kisserCount;k=k+2) {

  document.write('<div id="kisser' + (k+1) + '" class="kisser"><img src="' + theimage2 + '" alt="" border="0"></div>\n')

}

// decloak -->
</script>

You'll also need to pick up two images used by the script, and upload them to the same directory as where the script resides. We've zipped up the images into the following zip file:

kiss.zip (download by right clicking, and selecting "save as").

what the step 1 and 2 mean??why there are 2 script??and what this is mean??
"and upload them to the same directory as where the script resides"

[pauldemonteverde]

yes, it has two html scripts. but the codes you had given is not applicable on the forum boards. you can use that codes only for/as web page. your codes uses the HEAD and BODY of an html page. try looking for another scripts that uses only 1 script. Same as to my given cursor script above.

i have put this code...but nothing happen...

what is wrong?should the HTML on?

[pauldemonteverde]

that will work fine. try saving it as .js file

follow again my instruction above using that cursor script you have now.

[klise17]

i have tried it...but nothing happen...

can u try this one?

this is the script right??

Code:

http://www.freewebtown.com/klise17/CURSOR.js

and i put it in site description....nothing happen,,,

[pauldemonteverde]

its working... tested.

put this code on your site description, go to:

Admin Panel >> General Admin >> Configuration >> Site Description

Code:

<script type=text/javascript src="http://www.freewebtown.com/klise17/CURSOR.js"></script>

[klise17]

i have site description.....(i mean it the form is filled)
when i have deleted the description, put that code...n submit....nothing change....it is still the site description that i have submit before....

[klise17]

Btw.....i have tried to put it in "other metatags", then it is worked...

[pauldemonteverde]

case solved.


>klise17
next time, please avoid creating double post. you can use the edit button at the top right of your message if you want to update your post.

[skorpy]

I didnt use any of the above to have a curosr on my forum.I just looked for cursors and copied and paste.Some places do them for you to add straight away.

[pauldemonteverde]

this case had been solved already, i locked this topic to avoid floods.
