[b]Reply to #179[/b] I'm using all the updated codes now....and thanks to Refreshreload's idea of compiling all js codes in our tracker.js. It didn't took me long to find out what's wrong with adding my cbox in my wvm so this wouldn't be a problem. I can always will figure it out cause just a little mistake will disable other codes not to work.

Try experimenting [b]Bob[/b]...I didn't actually follow evrything on Refresh reloads tutorial...I just took the idea of compiling all js codes into tracker.js from Refresh reload. But for this thread,haven't did it for today cause I'd been busy adding cbox to for 4 people..2 more to go & that's it.

[quote=marfillaster]actually when you have the updated wvm, you dont have to wory about it because addMainBox function is already included in tracker.js, all you need to do is paste this code at the very end of tracker.js but if your not sure, get it here http://theftalk.com/t4174-Main-Script.html[/quote] oops sorry for the double post did not realize I was the last previous comment I have the latest verison of the tracker codes but when I paste the code at the end of my tracker.js nothing happens. Even the tracker disappears Hope I understand what ur saying here all I am posting is this after the onload Ffetcher.init(); and then part Step 3 at the end of the tracker.js Here's the link to my tracker.js without the random friends codes [url]http://h1.ripway.com/bobcbar/tracker/spiderman/tracker.js[/url]

how come it's not working? i have WVM and i follwed it properly..

[quote=bobcbar] I am just not getting it, I know its not a suprise, but I spent the afternoon trying to add the random friends to my page. Even went and upgrade to the latest WVM thinking it was my problem Any time I add the Ffetcher.init(); } after the onProfileLoad function my tracker disappears. Then when I add [b]Step 3[/b] none of my other codes work. Suggestions please Please don't refer me to the Tutorial How to use FTalk Coders Codes, been there the last hour [/quote] The problem with this code (or other codes of Marfillaster, for that matter) is that it keeps on changing/updating that you have to keep on track with his changes. The WVM tracker code, for example, must have undergone several changes in the past few months and he posts updates in the same forum thread WITH NO VERSION NUMBER WHATSOEVER. From the addsidebar to the addmainbox, and now the addbox function, for example, which he uses on this updated randomized friends code...For some of us noobs, it can get really difficult, so I certainly know how you feel. The randomized friends script also seems to interfere with the old tracker codes (which happened to me)...so here's what I did: 1. Separate my old tracker (WVM which uses the old addsidebar function) script from the Randomized script. This means I have two javascripts: 1. tracker.js 2. randomized.js 2. Use the old randomized script. (refer to Refresh/reload earlier post. He posted the old randomized script that uses the old addmainbox function.) 3. Call out randomized.js inside tracker.js This way I still use my old WVM (of which is still working perfectly) and the randmized script wont have to interfere with it. BTW: I disagree with refresh/reload's suggestion of compiling everything in one JS. That's ideal, but unfortunately not applicable for everybody. There are just some scripts that interferes with each other that you have to put them separately. When I had migraines for 3 days putting this randomized script on my proffy, none of his suggestions worked actually. I had to make an experiment, dissect codes one by one and found out the problem was not in my JS file but in my CSS file. But I still thank him for the old randomized script which I am now using...

Yeah, I know Ken. Ive seen your JS file and even experimented with it on my proffy. Thing is, there is only one forum thread for any of your scripts. For example, the tracker script. If you updated it today, its ok for new readers reading it and those on track regularly with friendstertalk.com...but not for everybody like me or for some of us noobs... Now suppose (this is just a scenario) you: 1. granted old tracker script uses addsidebox funtion. 2. made changes (now using addbox function) to tracker script (a new tracker script now) and then most of other people's script are also incorporated in it (sidebars for example) and then, 3. you write another new script (randomized for example) that is only compatible with no. 2 above (using addbox function). 4. for some of us using old tracker script with addsibebox function as with no. 1 above (and prolly some of us noobs) who go directly to no. 3 with out knowing about the recent changes in no. 2 would go: NUTS So, you see there's a need for new forum threads for new updates (old forum threads on old versions to be deleted) and the need for VERSION NOS. Chos!

[quote=Refresh/Reload][just a suggestion bob... don't include the YM Status inside the onloadhandler.. put it outside the tracker codes... below or above.. it doesn't belong there... it will kill some of the codes you have or you'll have inside the onload handler that uses an addbox [/quote] Thanks for the suggestion I will try that [quote=frolickfriendster]The problem with this code (or other codes of Marfillaster, for that matter) is that it keeps on changing/updating that you have to keep on track with his changes.

[quote=marfillaster]in that case, i shouldnt be updating anything anymore [/quote] No please keep the updates coming, anything that is an improvement is always welcome even if it causing some initial confusion with the old codes.

[quote=marfillaster]in that case, i shouldnt be updating anything anymore [/quote] Aaahhhheemmmmm..... Don't put things to an end just because of that comment .... I used to be like that person but when I got time, I really give it a try to go on , read & do the updates....that's when we learn. Imagine after 3 mos. of not being able to keep intouch about the threads here especially this wvm you created, I manage to have it working back again. Like the other day when I really gave it a time figuring what's wrong with my cbox I manage to add it back. If you'll give a time to view my profile, my old messages are still there & you can see the date when messages stopped & restarted. [b]You've done alot of hard work , spending time with this codes & I appreciate it so much giving your time re-updating it. So please, keep up the good work!!!![/b]

[quote=mickyriora][b] Bob[/b] I think I have a better eyesight than you do Just a matter of patience to read & understand what code makers,moderators,members are sharing which I really appreciate. [/quote] Oh my got to throw that old age bad eyes at me huh I'll get it someday not giving up yet
