vBFlash Header Pro - for vBulletin v4.0.8 and above

We have updated the coding used on this modification, however we need your input before actually releasing it publicly.

It has been tested in the following browsers and is working correctly. Firefox, Safari and Opera.

We need to know if the new CSS code it is now using is compatible with Internet Explorer, more importantly which version you are viewing it with.

The demonstration is available here: http://vbulletin.ech....com/?styleid=2

What we need to know is if the actual Login / Register box drops at all in Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. The demonstration is using its own newly defined DIV and additional CSS for alignment and sizing.

We would appreciate anyone, that can give us feedback on this issue that previous vBulletin versions broke. The modification itself stays the same, but the embed code has had a major change.

Once we have been notified that it is working perfect in the aforementioned browsers we will update the documentation accordingly.

In addition to the above, we have added the ablity so upon first page load the header is cached at 19k, your images will also be cached and any subsequent HTTP Requests will not call the vB Flash Header again - this saves on loading times and bandwidth (not that it uses much anyway).

Thank you for your patience.

internet explorer 7

Thank you...

We can see now that the main header DIV set at a pixel height is being used by Internet Explorer as a reference point to re-align the login area with a top setting of 150 px. We will look in to moving the login area back above the header using additional css for Internet Explorer only.

Hi,

There was a fix posted for this issue awhile ago, however later that day one of our other sites on this server was compromised and eventually led to the data all being rolled back hence we lost threads and posts which had been made.

Since then, it was brought to our attention the vBulletin is now changing the login area code completely due to the number of problems it has caused. We were waiting for the release where they have made this change, since it will more than likely break any fix that we code now. The trouble we are having at the moment is that vBulletin is changing code and Microsoft have made further changes to how certain tags are rendered with their browser, what we really require is both companies to release stable versions of their products so we can give a solution that will not break in the future.

I will wait until vBulletin 4.1.1 is out of beta, and re-code it again. It is possible to recode it now, but there would be a high cosmetic change whereby the current login is dropped below the header and reformatted using additional CSS. I know this is similar to what happens with Internet Explorer already, but with the CSS change it doesn't look so bad.

Thanks EchelonOne, i'm still using 4.0.6 and until 4.1.1 goes stable and the mods I use all work perfectly with it, I wont be upgrading for some time!

Question: when I hover over the header I am still seeing cc_vbhead how do I change this?

[EchelonOne]

Hi RobbieZ,

The 'cc_vbhead' works in a similar way to the 'alt' tag for images except it is for flash therefore it uses a different tag, which in this case is called title. However, to change it in the header embed code it requires 2 changes because the code is set to work with 2 different browser formats so changing just one will not work. You could just delete them but then the code becomes no longer compliant, so it is best to just change it to something more suitable for your forum.

AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','950','height','150','title','cc_vbhead','src','cc_hp_head','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','wmode','transparent','movie','cc_hp_head' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="950" height="150" title="cc_vbhead">

If you look in the code above you will see that we have 2 places where it says 'cc_vbhead' - simply change both to something more suited.

Excellent, fixed

is there not any way to add some div or so ?

i need help on this since i bought and installed echelon flash header

help pls ;-)

[EchelonOne]

There is one way, but it involves dropping the logging closer to the navbar above the search box then adding a new div above. This ensures the login box does not move when viewed in various browsers but requires a few other alterations for it to work correctly.

I can post how this is done if it will help people with the current problem - it would work on any current version since you are adding a new div and pushing everything else down.

If this is of any help let me know and I will publish the code and changes required to do this.

TY

my version does not work ie8

where can i get working version for internet explorer 8 ???

[EchelonOne]

I will update our development vBulletin board, so I can code a version that will work even with the new login area vBulletin is working on. I will try and get this done ASAP, it been awhile since an update was released - and it is one of those products that created a lot of attention on release.
