New user of ASP Playground (Admin) - Questions

Hi,

I am in the process of setting up/changing a community over from UBB Threads to ASP Playground.

We are trying to keep certain things similar to make the transition easy for members. Here are a few things I am trying to do - any help would be greatly appreciated.

>>> Is there some way to add Check PM to the menu top right side of the boards? File name?

>>> I dont' want the heading of the " last post" to be shown on the main listing page (too many spoilers) What file do I need to access and what should be modified?

>>> Can I get rid of the moderator column?

>>> I see the term " hit" - I would prefer to show " views" - can this text be modified?

>>>emotiocons - is there anything remotely similar to ' rolleyes' - for some reason our members love this icon??

Thanks for helping
Helen

>>> Is there some way to add Check PM to the menu top right side of the boards? File name?

It is very easy to do. Just in your header add a link to pm.asp and that' s it

>>> I dont' want the heading of the " last post" to be shown on the main listing page (too many spoilers) What file do I need to access and what should be modified?

You can always modify anthing you want. It is in default.asp (this file is very short so it is actually very easy for you to change the code)

>>> Can I get rid of the moderator column?

Sure you can -> it is in default.asp as well

>>> I see the term " hit" - I would prefer to show " views" - can this text be modified?

All the interface texts are defined in a file called language.asp -> do a lookup for " hit" and replace it with " views"

>>>emotiocons - is there anything remotely similar to ' rolleyes' - for some reason our members love this icon??

You can actually add it by yourself. We do not have any restrictions on code modification. To add rolleyes, either replace one of our emoticons with your own rolleyes image or add a new image for yourself. The files you will be interested in are " js/pgdCode.js" and " js/postInterface.asp"

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks

Thanks Samuel,

Our server is down for a move so as soon as I can get at it I will return if I have any other questions.
