Hi, everyone. I searched the site, but all the info are from a few years back. With the version 3.4, how can I add this feature? I already activated the block. It appears on some skin in leau of the poll block, which I didn't actually manually replaced, but I figured that the online block replaced the poll block on three of my skins. See the links below:
http://castrofics.com/index.php?skin=sepia
-no poll (even though i manually added the poll myself) and in it's place, the online block.
http://castrofics.com/index.php?skin=andrewshepherda
-poll still there-was not affected by the activation of the online block.
why is that some of the skins became affected without me doing anything and others didn't?
thanks ahead of time.
The Sepia skin doesn't have poll block in index.tpl but does have online block. The andrewshepherda skin has poll block in index.tpl but not online. In other words, they're displaying exactly what they're meant to.
the sepia skin is a modification of jacynthe's library skin whereas the andrewshepherda skin is a modification of kali's murder skin. i had successfully added the poll block to both skins. however, when i activated the 'who's online' block, the poll blocks for all my modified library skins' have all been replaced the who's online blocks. the modified murder skins were not affected by the activation of the who's online block. i want both the poll and who's online blocks to work. any suggestions? thanks.
You've got to modify the index.tpl file. I can't say how it happened, but the sepia skin doesn't have {poll_title} and {poll_content} anymore, so that's why it's not appearing. You've got to put them back in.
got all my skins to have the poll and online feature now this skin( http://castrofics.com/index.php?skin=andrewshepherdb ) is missing the featured stories function. and i basically copied and pasted the index file for each modified murder skin. ugh! does anyone know why the featured block isn't appearing in this skin ( http://castrofics.com/index.php?skin=andrewshepherdb )? oh, well. just one skin doesn't have all the features. i can live with that. with efiction, i've come to learn that it's basically trial and error and every time i try to add something, something else goes wrong. eventually, i'll figure it out but what steps i took, i can never tell lol. thanks, lyndsie.
Not sure. The .tpl looks good, but the info's not coming through for some reason. This is what I get when I view the source.
<div class="block">

So as you can see, it's not making it through, which is odd given that it's identical to the .tpl for the A skin.
This is the source for the A skin.

I couldn't tell you why the two are different. Maybe it's the CSS?

exactly, lyndsie. i couldn't figure it out either. i basically copied and pasted. oh, well. it's weird. i've found that efiction has a lot of glitches, but it's a great program nonetheless. i'm just glad that the imperfect skin is one of the skins that i absolutely love. thanks for helping me with the problems.
