From a quick test with installing Rolodex by itself I haven't actually noticed anything untoward. I haven't tested it with EventCal and RecentUsers yet though, I'm going to install them and give it a good test over the next couple of days...

Ah, I thought I was doing well not to find anything...

I think you need to add 'email.gif' to the rolodex image directory. See attached image... I've only noticed it in the Member List as of yet, but maybe there's other places...

I don't think it's a problem with the YaBB code pointing to the default directory because it finds it for the 2.1 template...

And... If anybody wants to see a demo or test this very fine Mod, they can do so here (EventCal and RecentUsers installed):

Yup - actually the problem is a small bug in Y 2.4 - look here:

I'll add the email.gif to the rolodex folder before final release thou

Guess i've said it before - but i don't mind saying it again: Not only do you release your own mods - you also take out time to firmly test and report back on other mods - and even set up a test board - highly appreciated Derek Smiley

Ah, yes. Just applied your fix and it works fine now.

Hi, Carsten ... now that I have a new test board up again, I am testing new items, even if I don't know for sure if I will be making use of them or not.

Am giving this one a try on my test board, and have come across a couple of minor issues.

For one thing, when scrolling through the cards, the General Category disappears in one out of the three rotations. It is just a little odd. Click the arrow again, and it is back in the next rotation, but it just doesn't show up in one spot.

If this is only a problem showing up on mine, and not on everybody's, you can see it here: http://jonbatchelor.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl

Not a problem with your mod, but just kind of a note about YaBB in general ... I thought that YaBB was supposed to go to the default folder for any graphics it could not find in a custom folder template ... but it never seems to be the case. I may have to upload a couple of images from a couple of mods to the Rolodex folder, as well as the other template folders. (Think I am going to mention this over on YaBB.)

As for another issue, while I like the look in general, and might be interested in using it, the problem is I run lots of other mods that add to the info center, and though you have taken into account two of them, others (including one of your own, I think) don't get added on.

I'm thinking of the Countdown mod, your User Activity mod, and probably the Users Today mod.

But I like the look overall, and wanted to help out with the testing a little bit, now that I have a board to test on again.

Edited:

I'm probably wrong here, but wondering if maybe your 'General Chat' chat room in any way might be conflicting name-wise with the general category name, causing the semi-vanishing rolodex card or something.

Wonderful!

Yesterday I had it set as the default. Today, it isn't even showing as an option. And at some point, all of the settings I had programmed in just vanished into thin air!

There are days I just want to quit doing the whole forum thing. (Luckily they don't last.)

Edited:

Rolodex is back to being the default layout, and the same problem is still there.

I clicked on the top Cat (20/30 times), I clicked on the Down Arrow (20/30 times), I clicked on the Up Arrow (20/30 times) , I clicked on Up, then Down Arrow ... 30 times ... did not lose General Cat.

Not sure it's a layout that I love but I'm sure it could grow on me with some regular use and certainly better than "roll-ups". Thanks for sharing.
