My Board Wrappers Are Full???

[Matthew]

Hi,

If you want to add more code to your forum than the 20,000 character limit of the board wrappers would normally allow, you may use the following method to host scripts externally and link to them instead.

Understand that every bit of code you add can slow down your forum or otherwise interfere with it's performance.


* These instructions assume that you're copying the code from a website or a post in a forum.
(If the code is in the form of a .js file, skip steps 1 & 2.)



Step 1


Copy and paste the code into notepad and then remove the script tags at the beginning and end, if there are any. (<script> or <script type="text/javascript"> etc. and </script>)

Step 2

Save it as a .js file.
When you go to save it, select "Save as" and not just "Save", and you'll see a dropdown box labeled "Save as type".
You'll need to choose "All files" in that box instead of .txt and then put in a name for the file in the box above, making sure to add .js to the end of it. (Example: script.js)

Step 3

Upload it either to your forum in a post or to a website and then copy its url. How you do that will depend on what site you upload it to. If you do it in a post on your forum, just go to your File Manager >> Attachments (View Uploads) and right-click the filename and copy the url from there.

Step 4

Put the following code in your board wrappers wherever the script is supposed to go, and replace the red part with the url of your uploaded .js file*:

<script type="text/javascript" src="url of the script"></script>

Hope This Helps.

Matthew
