I have a news scroller I would like to add to my Links home page,,, But where do I place the NewsScroller.class file. so it loads when page loads??
(beginner ya know)

Don't know much 'bout Java. But you'll need to edit home.html in the links/admin/templates folder. Something like this:

<APPLET
[CODEBASE=codebaseURL] (This specifies the base URL of the applet code)
CODE=appletFile.class>

...

</APPLET>

See http://www.irt.org/...cles/js067/index.htm for more info.

Are you a templates or non-templates user?

I tried this and still can't make it work....any other solutions?

using templates....I thought that the class file should still be called from the server and the directory that the Links folder is in.

I am trying to do something similar, it appears that HOME.html becomes index.html when the pages are built.

NewsScroller.class should be in the folder you designated in "$build_root_path = "/full/path/to/links";".

The applet can be called using:
<APPLET CODE= NewsScroller.class>
Param....
</APPLET>

Hope this works, it is what I would try first ...

Hi

I have tried this in the past, yes you are correct home.html becomes your index.html page in the pages directory.

If I am right the .class file needs to be placed in the same directory, so place a copy in the pages directory, that will operate your index page.

If you wish to place it in category.html, you will need to place a copy of the .class file in every sub directory under pages, just try and remember to do this every time you add a new directory.

Sorry not the best answer in the world but it should work

I have an applet on my home page. I have my .class file in the directory where the pages are made (not in cgi bin). I've called mine /links/pages/ - when you modify the home page through the admin.cgi it will have created the pages in a directory? that you specified and the home page will be called index.html - that's the directory you upload your .class file to. Take a look at mine and view the source code to see the path: http://www.thehorsesource.com/links/pages/index.html

Hope this helps!

Hello!

I would like to know if it's possible to do with DHTML or java like Tracey's site :
http://www.thehorsesource.com/links/pages/Just_For_Kids/
"home", "classified", "ressources"... at the top!

BUT with categories, subcategories, "subsubcategories"???

Thanks for your help

Ciao

I would suggest taking a look at the "POP-UP" script from http://www.brainjar.com/

thanks :o)
