I am building our server list and I am having issues with my banner vent banner keeping its attributes, the height keeps shrinking.

Link to page: http://www.detachment101.com/site/index.php/servers
(its the last banner)


Code of the vent banner:

<iframe src="http://cache.www.gametracker.com/components/html0/?host=184.154.99.102:4217&bgColor=333333&fontColor=CCCCCC&titleBgColor=222222&titleColor=FF9900&borderColor=555555&linkColor=FFCC00&borderLinkColor=222222&showMap=0¤tPlayersHeight=324&showCurrPlayers=1&showTopPlayers=0&showBlogs=0&width=205" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="205" height="512"></iframe>


Code that's is displayed front-end to the body :

div.global {
background-color: #333333;
border-color: #555555;
color: #CCCCCC;
height: 286px;
width: 203px;
}

It's irritating that I can't make this a fixed height, is there a way to force this?

You can update the "Show channel view Height (pixels): (Minimum=100)" line on the customization options if you want it higher. The banner is a fixed height, yes.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

This is the code that I need to use to make my banner 512px in height using the Show channel view Height option.

<iframe src="http://cache.www.gametracker.com/components/html0/?host=184.154.99.102:4217&bgColor=333333&fontColor=CCCCCC&titleBgColor=222222&titleColor=FF9900&borderColor=555555&linkColor=FFCC00&borderLinkColor=222222&showMap=0¤tPlayersHeight=324&showCurrPlayers=1&showTopPlayers=0&showBlogs=0&width=205" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="205" height="512"></iframe>


There is a reason that the code in my custom html field changes itself from that to the following


<iframe src="http://cache.www.gametracker.com/components/html0/?host=184.154.99.102:4217&bgColor=333333&fontColor=CCCCCC&titleBgColor=222222&titleColor=FF9900&borderColor=555555&linkColor=FFCC00&borderLinkColor=222222&showMap=0¤tPlayersHeight=324&showCurrPlayers=1&showTopPlayers=0&showBlogs=0&width=205" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="205" height="512"></iframe>


The difference is it goes from


&currentPlayersHeight¤tPlayersHeight=324

to

¤tPlayersHeight=324

is this maybe a a bug on my end? I am not sure but I could use input. I wonder is there compatibility issues with the "&" between browsers or language?

Since it is not a GameTracker bug, it should not be posted in that section. We do not have any control over how your website saves field data in its "custom html field" for the website.

If you copy the code from the gametracker website, which would be:
<iframe src="http://cache.www.gametracker.com/components/html0/?host=184.154.99.102:4217&bgColor=333333&fontColor=CCCCCC&titleBgColor=222222&titleColor=FF9900&borderColor=555555&linkColor=FFCC00&borderLinkColor=222222&showMap=0¤tPlayersHeight=512&showCurrPlayers=1&showTopPlayers=0&showBlogs=0&width=205" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="205" height="700"></iframe>

it should work fine as it does for other users.

First off, I'd like to say your work on the site (assuming its your work) is admirable...

Second, You seem to have fixed this? considering when I mouse over the ventrilo box, the iframe is the same as the other 2...

Thanks! I had some headaches but the outcome is worth it.

Yes I have got it to function properly, I think the problem was within my CMS.
