Now previously in: https://community.mybb.com/thread-123172...pid1302219
I briefly showed basic creation of a simple complete plugin and then I further showed how to add localization support to it.
Now let us briefly touch on how to make the newsbar css editable so that you can directly style them via the acp...
For example we change this:
To this for example:
And add the css that was removed now to its own setting.
For example:
Add the corresponding language strings to the plugin admin language file for example:
And continue to do similiar for example with each newsbar by both subtracting from previous template, creating a new setting, moving css to new setting and finally adding corresponding language strings to language files.
Now let us see for example this in a more completed version of the previous discussed and instructed plugin.
simplenewsbars.php:
And the localization...
simplenewsbars.lang.php:
Hopefully this further helps as we have now touched on a few simple topics to help get a basic understanding of a simple plugin creation from start to finish. Best of luck!
As stated in a previous post, if you want a completed version of this plugin that was used for this and previous instructions, you can grab it here: https://community.mybb.com/mods.php?acti...w&pid=1109
I briefly showed basic creation of a simple complete plugin and then I further showed how to add localization support to it.
Now let us briefly touch on how to make the newsbar css editable so that you can directly style them via the acp...
For example we change this:
$insertarray = array(
"title" => "simplenewsbars_1",
"template" => "<style>
.alert {
background: #FFF6BF;
border-top: 1px solid #FFD324;
border-left: 1px solid #FFD324;
border-right: 1px solid #FFD324;
border-bottom: 1px solid #FFD324;
text-align: center;
margin: 10px auto;
padding: 5px 20px;
border-radius: 6px;
color: #404040;
}
</style><div id=\"alert\"><p class=\"alert\">{\$mybb->settings[\'simplenewsbars_input_1\']}</p></div>",
"sid" => -1,
"dateline" => TIME_NOW
);
$db->insert_query("templates", $insertarray);
To this for example:
// Insert Array
$insertarray = array(
"title" => "simplenewsbars_1",
"template" => "
<style>
{\$mybb->settings[\'simplenewsbars_css_input_1\']}
</style>
<div id=\"alert\"><p class=\"alert\">{\$mybb->settings[\'simplenewsbars_input_1\']}</p></div>",
"sid" => - 1,
"dateline" => TIME_NOW
);
// Insert Array Query
$db->insert_query("templates", $insertarray);
And add the css that was removed now to its own setting.
For example:
// Setting 15
$simplenewsbars_setting_15 = array(
'sid' => '0',
'name' => 'simplenewsbars_css_input_1',
'title' => $lang->simplenewsbars_title_setting_15,
'description' => $lang->simplenewsbars_description_setting_15,
'optionscode' => 'textarea',
'value' => '
.alert {
background: #FFF6BF;
border-top: 1px solid #FFD324;
border-left: 1px solid #FFD324;
border-right: 1px solid #FFD324;
border-bottom: 1px solid #FFD324;
text-align: center;
margin: 10px auto;
padding: 5px 20px;
border-radius: 6px;
color: #404040;
}
.alert .date {
color: #666;
font-size: 0.8em;
margin-left: 6px;
}
.alert a {
color: #007fd0;
}
.alert a:visited {
color: #007fd0;
}
.alert a:hover {
color: #ff7500;
}',
'disporder' => '4',
'gid' => intval($gid)
);
Add the corresponding language strings to the plugin admin language file for example:
// Setting 15
$l['simplenewsbars_title_setting_15'] = 'CSS for Newsbars Index Alert';
$l['simplenewsbars_description_setting_15'] = 'This controls the styling for the alert.';
And continue to do similiar for example with each newsbar by both subtracting from previous template, creating a new setting, moving css to new setting and finally adding corresponding language strings to language files.
Now let us see for example this in a more completed version of the previous discussed and instructed plugin.
