Vertical scroll bar for Recent Topics/Posts
« on: April 07, 2010, 01:42:55 am »
I was wondering if in a future version of EzPortal, it would be possible to add a parameter for both Recent Topics and Posts EzBlocks that would allow the user to choose if he wants to limit the height of the block and if he shows more topics/posts than it fits in, add a scrollbar to the list. It might be useful for people who wants to display a lot of recent posts/topics at the top of their board index, for example, but, not have it take way too much space. It would be nice to have either in horizontal or vertical mode

I kinda like this idea also, but there are 3 things that need to be considered:

I have used other portal systems that had this and they had no way to limit the amount of articles or posts you could add.
The other issue is that the scroll bar takes up valuable space and shrinks the block and it contents.

The third issue is the if you use a darker theme, the scroll bar looks very bad when present.

What would be nice though is a Java script that auto scrolls the recent posts and when ever you mouse over and post it will stop so you may read the headline!

And if by chance you did not know you can with ezblocks select the mount of posts you want to include in the block. so it does not extend too long> Members have the option of clicking on the:

Show unread posts since last visit.
Show new replies to your posts.

Bump, I've been hoping for something like this for some time now.
Would help out a lot with building cleaner looking themes for my site.

Thanks.
