Location: England		 Ok, this guide has been updated due to a fix to allow links, you can see a live example at my site http://portalogy.myfabforum.org

Here is a guide that will hopefully help everyone with the new portal.

1) Go to your Administration Panel located at the bottom of your forum.

2) Head to your "Administration Panel". Once you are in there it is time to edit your template. To get to "Edit Templates/Logos" scroll down through your menu and you shall see it under "Styles Admin". Click on "Edit Templates/logos".

3) Alright you will see a mess of things. (Now if you haven't already registered the "Editor" user please go and log out and make him as you will not be able to proceed with instructions.) Ok now create a template by coping the template you want to edit. By that I mean choose the template from the drop down menu. (Note: You have to add some templates you like in order to see templates to copy. To add templates simply go back to "Administration Panel" and choose "Add" under "Styles Admin" and "Install" some templates.) To show you want I mean by copying a template and making a copied template to edit here is a picture:  


4) Alright your almost finished so just hang on a little bit longer. Once you have chosen your template to copy and have clicked "Submit" as shown in picture go back to "Edit Template/Logo" and its time to edit the template you just created. Here is a picture showing how to edit the template you created:

5) Once you have followed the pictures instructions you will find yourself in some crazy and confusing stuff. First thing is first though editng your "overall_header.tpl". Now here is a picture showing you how to get to your "overall_header.tpl" to edit it.

6) Next you will find yourself in a mess of codes. Do not worry this will be fairly simple. Take this code...

for the fadeer to appear on the forum this need to be used:
Code:
{MYFF.FADER}


You can also control the width that it appears by placing it into a table like below and altering the width accordingly:
Code:
<table width="90%" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td>{MYFF.FADER}</td>
  </tr>
</table>


and scroll all the way to the "BOTTOM" of the code and enter in at very end. I repeat the VERY END of the code. Then you may proceed by pressing the "Submit" button.

7) You will find yourself back at the screen where you first found the "overall_header.tpl". Now it is time to finish this. Here is a picture with the next instructions:

Cool You will find yourself in another mess of codes but this one is REALLY simple. Just select all the code in there and delete it then replace it with...

Code:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline" align="center">
<!--BEGIN switch_fader_title -->
   <tr>
        <th height="25" class="thCornerL" nowrap="nowrap">{FADER_TITLE}</th>
     </tr>
<!--END switch_categories_title -->      
  
<tr>
<td class="row1" align="center">


<div id="fscroller" style="font-size: 12; font-family: Verdana,Arial; font-weight: bold; width: 100%; height: 15px; padding: 2px; filter: alpha(opacity=0); -moz-opacity: 0.0;"></div><script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var iDelay = 2000;var txtColor = "000000";var fContent = [];
<!-- BEGIN fader_row -->
fContent[{fader_row.MENU_NUMBER}-1] = "'<a href='{fader_row.U_VIEW}'>{fader_row.MENU_NAME}</a>"
  <!-- END fader_row -->
var isIE = (document.all)? true : false;var frame = 60;var st = 1;var wait = iCur = 1;var index = iCurMoz = 0;var iDir = false;var frameHalf = frame / 2;var iTimer;var frame_m = frame;var wait_m = wait;document.getElementById("fscroller").style.color = txtColor;function fade(){   if(index >= fContent.length){      index = 0;   }   document.getElementById("fscroller").innerHTML = fContent[index];   index ++;   opacityFade();}function opacityFade(){   var fScroll = document.getElementById("fscroller");   if(frame > 0){      if(frame == frameHalf && wait > 0){         if(isIE){            fScroll.style.filter = "alpha(opacity=" + iCur + ")";         } else {            fScroll.style.MozOpacity = iCurMoz;         }         wait --;         setTimeout("opacityFade()", iDelay);      } else {         if(iDir){            iCur -= 3;            iCurMoz -= 0.03;         } else {            iCur += 3;            iCurMoz += 0.03;         }         if(isIE){            fScroll.style.filter = "alpha(opacity=" + iCur + ")";         } else {            fScroll.style.MozOpacity = iCurMoz;         }         if(frame == (frameHalf + 1)){            if(isIE){               fScroll.style.filter = "alpha(opacity=" + iCur + ")";            } else {               fScroll.style.MozOpacity = iCurMoz;            }            iDir = true;         }         frame --;         setTimeout("opacityFade()", st);      }   } else {      fScroll.innerHTML = " ";      frame = frame_m;      wait = wait_m;      iDir = false;      setTimeout("fade()", st);   }}// -->
</script>
</td></tr>
</table>


<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!--
fade();
// -->
</script>


Once you have done this click the "Submit" button then follow th next instructions.

9) Now we are back to the screen with the drop-down menus and "overall_header.tpl" stuff. All you have left to do is click "Make Deafult" the go back to your forum and you shall now have the "News Fader Portal".


To edit the text that fades in and out, go to your Administration Panel and go to portal settings and find fader(should be the last icon) and change each items text, having links was broken for some odd reason, but I've had a rather detailed fiddle and having links on the fader is now possible again due to this fix.


If you have any further questions or comments please pm them to me and hopefully I will be able to answer them.
