Mail Notification v6
by Mottie
Description
This mod opens a popup to notify you if you have a new mail message. It was written for users who wish to hide their top menu bar (state bar/log in bar). Or if you just want a bigger message telling you that you have mail. I've set it up to open either a growl window (timed popup) or a facebox (popup you have to close).
For more information on the custom variables, please see
this post
.
To style the growl window (pictured above), use the "Growl Window Styling" Mod or refer to
this post
.
To style the Facebox popup window, please refer to
this post
.

Signup Status Color v5
by Mottie
Description
This mod will add CSS classes to the character status, so you can set the color yourself with the CSS and the script will do the rest. Within the script, you can set it to just color the Status column or the entire row. This is what it will look like:
*Note: this is an old screenshot, but the code still works

The Exodus site has a background image that remains stationary when you scroll down. How do we do this on a guildportal site? Here's the Exodus sigh:

You need to use the Custom CSS thingie in the Admin Panel
That site has
BODY
{
MARGIN-TOP: 10PX;
MARGIN-LEFT: 10PX;
MARGIN-RIGHT: 10PX;
MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10PX;
SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #CC6600;
SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #FFFF33;
SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #660000;
SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #663300;
SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #CCCC00;
SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR: #CCCC00;
SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #666633; BACKGROUND-IMAGE: URL('bg.gif');
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000;
FONT-FAMILY: Trebuchet MS, Verdana;
FONT-SIZE: 9pt;
BACKGROUND-IMAGE:
URL("
http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/7420/screenshot_0039.jpg
");
BACKGROUND-REPEAT:
NO-REPEAT;
BACKGROUND-ATTACHMENT:
FIXED;
}
Note the last bit. It's an image file set to 'no repeat'. You would normally set a CSS background image to repeat, either by the x or y axis.
If you open the image link into a seperate browser, you''ll note it almost fills the screen....but that depends on your sceen resolution.
I have my screen/monitor set to 1280x1024, the image doesn't fill the screen. Basically, it means I get a black 'border' effect to the right and bottom of the website.
Put another way, most ppl have their screen res set to something like 1024x768. Ppl who know their pc spec will have 1280x1024 +. Older PCs are likely to be worse off, like 800x600.
So if you set a background image, and that image has the dimensions of 1024x768. Ppl with 800x600 will not see the fullimage, but 1 that is clipped. Ppl with higher screens will see 'borders'.
If you want to use a single image, then i suggest you do 1 of 2 things.
1) set the image to dimensions 1024x768 (a very common screen resolution).
or,
2) use JS to set the CSS file to screen res. Not sure this acutally works in WinXP SP2 now. But the JS would look-up the person's screen res. You then say (in effect) if person has screen res A - use CSS file A.
If person has screen res B - use CSS file B. CSS A has 1 image set to 1024x image and CSS B file uses image with 1280x image.

Doh, silly me.
Just thinking you may be thinking "eh??". Open that image in a new window, then reset you screen res to 800x600. now look at the image, you have to scoll the browser to see it.
If you monitor supports a higher res, then select 1280x1024 and now look at the same image. It's now only filling part of the screen.

Thank you! I think I'll just use a large image that doesn't matter if it gets cut off. Unless, of courese, you want to give me an example of the javascript to choose beteen images and tell me where to place the script...

To answer the actual question though:
BACKGROUND-ATTACHMENT: FIXED;
is the syntax that locks the back ground while the webpage can scroll

Can we just cut and paste the code, whatever it was that is provide in the previous post way at the top, into a box somewhere on Guildportal to create this effect?
Changing the image URL of course

Yes you can just copy and paste the text from above. That is the beauty of CSS. The syntax is the same no matter the website.
Take note that different padding and spacing will make your site change in ways that you may not want.

Ok, if I don't currently take advantage of CSS, then just adding that little bit won't do anything except affect the background?
Trying to be doubly sure before I do this because last time I checked out the CSS stuff, it said if you did it, you couldn't undo it.

Edit: NM did some fooling around on my other site. Can copy the CSS GP creates when using the GP stuff to make the pages, and then just replace the body with your body code
