Place a scrolling marquee on navbar (header)

[VaaKo]

This is a very simple html code to place in your navbar but it's really cool!

Hack updated to version 1.5, now using phrases manager!

First, you need to create the marquee phrase, which you can edit it anytime you want using the phrase manager, goto:
Admincp >> Languages & Phrases >> Phrase Manager >> Add New Phrase
and add the following

Phrase Type: GLOBAL
Product: vBulletin
Varname: marquee
Text: *The marquee that you wanna display*

now open your navbar template:
Admincp >> Styles & Templates >> Style Manager >> *template* >> navbar

Find this code
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />
<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
</form>
<!-- / login form -->

</td>

</if>

</tr>

Place under it
<tr>
<td colspan="3" class="alt1"><marquee><span class="smallfont"><b><font color="#FF0000">$vbphrase[marquee]</font></b></span></marquee></td>
</tr>

If you have already installed it, all you have to do is replace the navbar code with the new one that includes the $vbphrase[marquee]

Installed :)

Works great in IE but doesn't scroll in Firefox though.

Thnx :)

[Jenkins]

Yes, you can paste it anywhere you want, however it looks cool in the navbar :D

[FleaBag]

Scrolls in FF for me.

[Allan]

Nice thanks :)

[tuanluu]

I think Marquee does not work well on firefox. Only best on IE :)

[FamilyGuy]

I have tried it again in FF but still no go. Shame.

[Allan]

work with FF for me ;)

[funinthesun]

How do you create a scrolling marquee on the bottom of the IE page itself? Thanks :)

[mikehawk]

Works in FireFox for me.

[Sooner95]

works fine in IE and Opera.. will test FF..

Nice job I say.

This modification is included in the Shiny Black Skin by Staircase :

The skin comes with a scrolling marquee. You can either totally get rid of it OR
you can edit it.

To edit it, edit your templates in the Admin CP. Go to Forum Home Templates ?
FORUMHOME. Below $navbar, there is a code like this:

<table class="tborder" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tbody><tr>
<td class="tcat" align="center">
Notice from the ADMINS!
</td>
</tr>
</tbody><tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_welcomepanel" style="">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" align="center" width="101%">
<marquee>READ THE ANNOUNCEMENTS!! You could be banned if there is
something important and YOU DON'T KNOW IT!</marquee>

</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table><br>

You can either remove it fully or you can edit:

<marquee>READ THE ANNOUNCEMENTS!! You could be banned if there is
something important and YOU DON'T KNOW IT!</marquee>

and:

Notice from the ADMINS!

if you want to change those.

[bonnmac]

is there anyway to do something like this but call the info from a specfic thread in a special forum?

[quachvu]

how can i make it to run slower?

[VaaKo]

how can i make it to run slower?

you can use this:

<marquee scrollamount="5">Pink Floyd</marquee>

you can increase it to make it run faster or dicrease it to make it run slower

[funinthesun]

Anyone know how to ad this to the bottom of the Internet Explorer window?

[VaaKo]

where do you mean?
in the "What's Going On?" block at the bottom?

Installed.

[funinthesun]

No, I mean on the actual browser page. Where it says "Done" in the bottom left hand corner. I've seen it on a few websites and wondered how you do it?
Thanks :)

[VaaKo]

what you're looking for has nothing to do with this hack or anything related to VB
it's a free javascript code which u can find everywhere, it's called status bar!

check this page:
http://javascriptkit.com/script/cutindex19.shtml

[Rickie3]

<marquee scrollamount="5">Pink Floyd</marquee>

you can increase it to make it run faster or dicrease it to make it run slower

thanx just what i was looking for cheers

[funinthesun]

Aha! Thank you! I knew it was a javascript but I couldn't find it.

[funinthesun]

Where do I copy the script to? It says to place it in the <body> of the <head> section but I can only find the header template which doesn't have a <body> tag? :confused:

[Ebolender]

Installed and thanks for this.

"PS: if anyone is interested in making the message controled from the admincp, please be my guest to work on it!"

The ghetto way would be to use a phrase. You can then edit it, whatever, from the phrase manager.

hmmmm, could work, but would it still be a marquee?
I'm gonne try it out today and see if it works, but still this is not what i'm looking for...

funinthesun, paste the code in your header template :)

[FamilyGuy]

Its working great on my site. Would it be possible to add a hyperlink in the text though?

[VaaKo]

yes, use:

<a href="link.html">text</a>

[VaaKo]

Hack updated!

[Forumi Shqiptar]

just what i needed to put any new releases or any new interested things in my board thats awsome :D

Clicked install

[DA KING]

this is great. Thanks! can put important info in the marquee

[FamilyGuy]

Excellent, the update works great and I got the hyperlink in too.

Thnx very much :)

[funinthesun]

Please, does anyone know where I add the javascript code to? I mentioned it in an earlier post on this thread. Thanks :)

[VaaKo]

if you're talkin about the status bar message, I told you put it in your header or footer template, but if u're talkin about this hack, re-read the instructions!

[funinthesun]

It's about the java script. Yes, I know it should be placed in the header but where abouts as I can't see any tags that say <head> or <body> and it sais the code needs to be placed between them. :nervous: :confused:

[lefteris]

[steve1386]

Nice one, can anyone tell me how I can change the color of the text, may sound daft but cant see how to..

Thanks in advance..

[hotwheels]

It is working good, but what does this mean? Uncached templates: marqtext (1)

[4number8]

steve1386, the code you added to your nav bar, change #FF0000 to the color you need

[ChuckH]

Nice! I have something similar in my header but I took an RSS feed and rolled it into an old-fashion news ticker. You can see it here:

I need help...:(

[MrOnline]

it worked perfect for me, with Firefox, so sorry, must be something else you have done wrong... :banana:

[BaldNut]

could it pull data from either a database or a csv or simillar? i see 200 weight loss clients per week and would like to put a list of people weekly progress in the forums such as

baldnut -2lb, jane edwards -1lb, sarah stewart -1.5lb, etc?

[BaldNut]

i only use firefox and works greast on the demo site (as i aint installed yet)

[BaldNut]

is there a limit to how much text you can put in the phrase manager?

Installed and working fine btw www.diethell.co.uk/forums

[Kadi]

Thanks. Worked perfectly.

<marquee scrollamount="5">Pink Floyd</marquee>

I'm a beginner here...what do I do with that code to slow down the marquee?

And how do I change the scroll direction? I want it to scroll from left to right.

Thanks in advance :)

Ive made a similar thing but uses java to download any rss feed
and displays it as a ticker:

see this post (java rss feed ticker), might be what your looking for: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1122198#post1122198

[BigJimTheLug]

I have it installed in my forum, how do I slow it down?

The speed is ok as it is, but a bit slower would be perfect.

This is a great hack, clicked install!

[Eq4bits]

Go into your admincp
vBulletin Options>Menu Alert Options
scroll down towards bottom (just above 'save' button) you will see 'Marquee Speed'
input a number for the delay..... that should do it
see pic attached

[AuroraStorm]

How do you increase the font size and/or the font face?

[Eq4bits]

use an html editor if you don't 'know' straight html coding
then copy past and paste the code between the <body> & </body> tags into the text area in the vb options settings
at least that's how i do it :D

[RedKilla]

Great Add-In!

[gulfcoasttundra]

has anyone tried this on 4.0?
