MOTD Help (Motd only accepts few lines from HTML file)

redivcram · **Author**

So here's an example

Motd file:

HTML Code:

<DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head><title>Blah</title></head>
<body>
<p>Some text</p>
<p>Some more text</p>
<p>Some text</p>
<p>Some text</p>
<p>Pizza</p>
<p>Cheese</p>
</body>
</html>

Let's say there are more lines between some text and cheese... and cheese will not be shown thus there are no scroll buttons in the motd window... how can i fix it, once i wrote more than 20 lines and overflowed me which made me disconnect...
It just accepts few text lines...

But i have the file in a custom configs folder... but okay

Wait.. i can actually take a screenshot of the whole motd and put the image in one line of the HTML file... I'm gonna try that...

You don't have to use a picture.
You can either just link to an outside source, but there's a risk of overflow (at least when I tested) or you can host it and use <iframe>

show_motd(id, "test.htm");
show_motd(id, "<iframe width=100% height=100% src=test.htm>");

Another option is to put an iframe into the motd and have the iframe point to a larger, more complicated file.
