Title: New Raid Calendar
Post by: Tbone on December 02, 2011, 01:46:28 am
I've finally put up a new raid calendar (http://followtheangel.org/index.php?module=HTML%20Pages&func=display&pid=18). It wasn't exactly what we were trying to do, but it will work for the time being!

It's powered by GuildPortal, so it will require you to register an account. Once you login, though, it should keep you logged in, and we've implanted it into our site so that the transition is practically seamless.

Please check it out (http://followtheangel.org/index.php?module=HTML%20Pages&func=display&pid=18)!

The frame seems to bug out on me. It starts at the bottom for me to enter my character name(s) but won't let me scroll up to enter username and password.

The frame is bugged for me too.  Looks like the CSS needs adjusting

Yeah, I had to open the link in a new window. That will allow you to fill out the full thing.

I think it works best to register on the full site. Once you're registered and logged in its fine to use it within a iframe.

Once you've signed up, you should stay logged in and then you won't have to deal with too many clipping issues. The home page calendar can't be a perfect fit because, like the calendar page, it appears in a slightly different section of the page depending on if you've signed up yet or not.

I know it's not perfect, but after months of looking and waiting for other people to help, it's the best I could do and gets the job done.

Note that we are just testing this. We may end up using something else. I just keep running into obstacles with what we've been trying to get going, so I came up with this until we do.

LOL it has ads on it, making it impossible to see the content of the calender...

Hmm, what browser are you using?
Title: Re: New Raid Calendar
Post by: NoCry on December 04, 2011, 01:08:51 pm
i had adverts too. On Safari but not IE 9.
Title: Re: New Raid Calendar

Google chrome. Am I really the only person that gets the ads?
Title: Re: New Raid Calendar

First person who has said anything. I can probably extend the iframe so that enough of the page is seen regardless of what the layout looks like. Obviously it won't look as nice, but at least it'll be functional. We are looking at an alternate solution. It's just slow going at the moment.

Are the ads on the page or do they pop up or what?

I'm seeing ads as well. In both Safari and Firefox.  The ads sit on top of the raid calendar, pushing it down and out of view in the iframe.

I use AdBlock in both browsers to get rid of that toolbar thing at the bottom of our site, so I'll use it here too.

Yeah, I too saw an ad.

I signed up. This is what I got from their internal mail system.

"Your application has been submitted for approval by a site administrator. Because the site is hosted by GuildPortal.com, you are entitled to free support, which is available via our support ticket system!"

I assume that once this is approved, I can sign up for the "test" on the calendar.

I haven't signed up yet but I get the latter image for now, so can't see anything.

I opened it up a bit, so you should be able to see almost the whole page even if you get a banner ad. I also did away with the home page schedule.
Title: Re: New Raid Calendar
Post by: Tbone on December 06, 2011, 12:43:57 am
All members can now add, edit, and delete events. Please do not abuse this.

I also added a cleaner schedule to the front home page.
