Topic Starter Ribbon for vBCloud

[Mitch]

Good Day Glenn!! I implemented the above hook #1-#10. My font style and size changed when typing a reply to a post. Not sure if it also changed in other instances. Am I supposed to do any thing else? Was using Poppinsregular
As of now I turned off the hook

I have updated the template code in the first post. Please try it again.

Seems to have done the trick

I just installed this mod, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm on cloud, 6.2.0, and used Style 3 code.

I don't know if I did this correctly, but I copied everything you wrote in your style 3 script and pasted it into the CSS box.

I also put the analytics script where Google ads.txt. goes. It says " Enter the entire text of the ads.txt page. " and I pasted your analytics code after my Google ad test publisher number. The only other place was header or footer.

Well, I spoke too soon. It seems the ribbon goes away on threads with multiple pages. When I move to the next page, the ribbon disappears. When I click back to go to the first page, the ribbon is still not there. I have to refresh the thread for the ribbon to come back.

I'm still having an issue. I'm on 6.2.0 by the way. I wonder if another mod is interfering?

I noticed it is doing it on this site, too, when I came from the email notification link the website sent. I can change pages and it still doesn't show, but when I refresh the page, the ribbon shows up.

I think there's a timing issue going on. That's why it's inconsistent. I'll fix it and release a new version.

I think I found the issue in this Topic Starter Ribbon mod for vBCloud. For the "III: Add Topic Starter Ribbon Script 2" instructions, the code in the "Google_Analytics_Code.txt" is missing the <script></script> tags wrapped around the code. This mod was created in 2017 and at that time, adding a Javascript code in the Google Analytics settings didn't require the <script></script> tags. But at some point in the later vB versions, those tags became required. So to fix this issue, you have to wrap the code in between the <script> and </script> tags as shown below:

<script>
Paste the code from  "Google_Analytics_Code.txt" here
</script>

At that time, the setting was called "Search Engine Tools" and in it, there were options called "Enable Google Analytics" and "Google Analytics Javascript". But now, the setting is called "Search Engine And Ad Integration" and the option is called "Footer Code" and that's where you'll place the code from "Google_Analytics_Code.txt".

Learning, please try it and let me know if it works. Once you confirmed the issue is fixed. I'll post the updated instructions below in the first post.

======================================
III: Add Topic Starter Ribbon Script 2
======================================

1. Log in to AdminCP.
2. Navigate to Settings > Options > Search Engine And Ad Integration.
3. Enter the following configuration:

Footer Code: (Copy the content of the file "Google_Analytics_Code.txt" included in this mod and then paste into this box. If you have an existing code there, paste it below that. Wrap the pasted code in between <script></script> tags as shown below.)

<script>
Paste the code from "Google_Analytics_Code.txt" here
</script>

4. Click the Save button.

fwiw, my code only has the ending script tag, nothing on the front end.

Yours has the opening <script> tag. You have other code (the Google Analytics code) in it. You can have one set of <script> </script> tags for all the code or have each code wrapped in <script></script> tags. Those are essentially the same.

Thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

UPDATE: It does work! Disregard.

WAIT! It does work! I stuck the code in the wrong section(Google Ad txt.) and not the Footer section. Thanks again for helping me.
