[testpig]

Here are some admincp images

[gothicuser]

Nice one, *clicks installed*

[BoYagoob]

Good job

[RMS-Chef]

Nice.
Easy to implement and customize.
Thank you.

[Kuimera]

Good job!
2 things tho:

First: I´m getting a syntax error in Internet Explorer in line 451
Second: In Internet Explorer it shows a little wierd, like in two lines insteed of one, in Opera browser looks great btw!

Is this hack not ready for all the browsers?

[bashy]

Hi

I have installed BUT..

There are issuses..

It dont work very well in FF
Another thing, if you hover the mouse over it, it stops, move the mouse
and it stays stopped, Ya change the hover speed and once mouse hovers over
it it slows down and when ya move the mouse away again, it stays slow....

Also is it possible to show it to certain groups only?
Any advice please?

[Snake]

Thanks man!

[sensimilla]

Great nice little thingy, installed!

btw works fine for me in FF, apart the mouse hover

any chance to display marquee in user selected language ?

[AshokForums.com]

Great hack.. Installed it...

Few bugs

1) The Marquee Speed Mouse On/ off thing in the following browsers

- IE : When Marquee Speed Mouse On is set to zero.. The scrolling text stops but doesnt move again on when the mouse pointer is off..

- Opera: Nothing happens.. The scrooling text doesnt stop at all..

- FF: Same prob as that of IE..

2) Message height

- IE : The height is more than 14 pixels.. Just check out the screen shot Here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=41401&stc=1)

- Fine in other browsers!

EDIT :- The Message height is now fine.. I just changed the "Message Title Width" to 10% :) It was a message title width problem

You can add this to you VB Advanced CMPS 2.0 by opening your /includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php and look for:



global $pages, $stylevar, $headinclude, $header, $footer, $vbulletin, $vbphrase, $stylevar, $show, $pmbox, $vba_options, $vba_style, $navbar, $cusid, $_REQUEST, $gobutton, $pagetitle, $pagecache, $db;


ans add ', $marquee' to the end so it looks like this:


global $pages, $stylevar, $headinclude, $header, $footer, $vbulletin, $vbphrase, $stylevar, $show, $pmbox, $vba_options, $vba_style, $navbar, $cusid, $_REQUEST, $gobutton, $pagetitle, $pagecache, $db, $marquee;

[sezmar]

Just did an update version 1.0.1 works in all browsers on my test board.

added Mouse off and a couple fixes.

Will look at adding some of the suggestions.

[Ole_Chilli]

I lke this sytem better than the one I have now .. but am looking for one that can randomly pull a qute from a list somewhere

[AshokForums.com]

How about pulling the 5 lastest posts in the forum to the marquee???

U can do so much to improve this..

[shaynehammy]

This is brilliant. Can we get it to work with latest posts?

[shadowdancer36]

It's only showing in my forum area. Anyway I can make this show both on photopost and Vbad home page? What template do I need to add the $marquee to make it show everywhere?

EXCELLENT marquee system!!! one issue though........how can i get this to show on MORE than just my forum home. i have cmps 2.0.0 with vb 3.5.3

it works great on my forum home but NO matter what i edit i cannot get it to show on the home page, at the top of a thread, OR on my vbproarcade page.

any/all help is greatly appreciated.

If you like you can add "$marquee" to your header template under <!-- content table --> near the end of the template and it will show on all pages, including any portal, games or gallery.

[Totti]

i'd love having another option beside left,right,up&down ...
lefto-to-right-to-left-...
you know ... always scrolling from left to the right and when it reached the end scroll back ... hope it is understandable :D

Yes I understand you, it now has 2 addtion features.

[Chris Lang]

Working well! It's fun to mix in small images into the messages. Is there a way to avoid the title block alltogether so there isn't any extra space when you're running it vertically (down). Setting width or font to zero doesn't do it.

Regardless, VERY awesome! ::clicks install:::

[Dollah]

love this no problems let me know when their is an update

[Spiffware]

ok guys im the developer here of this hack sezmar both agreed we will not add top 5 posts, last posts the quote thing we will think about the quote addon but there is a random quote hack we will need to get permission to use it in the marquee.
If we get a good suggestion we will meet on it and deside if it would be helpful. to be honest we can put almost the whole board in the marquee and we will not do that.. so if you want a addon let us know and we will look in to it if its reasonable.

[Spiffware]

a new update is coming everyone
added:
able to change "Hello" to what ever you want
can turn on and off hello
fixed a bug it works on all browsers now
and more

the update is up 1.1 has been released

[sezmar]

New Version 1.1 updated today

[mbader71]

cool hack

Thanks man,

but can you modify this so it can also show the latest X posts, that will be great

[Totti]

new version doesn't show up to me (Usergroup: 50) ... ?!?

[sezmar]

Your welcome! I was looking at that and you coud add just about anything in here. I guess if there are a lot of request for it I will add some stats.


new version doesn't show up to me (Usergroup: 50) ... ?!?

Not sure why that would be, I'l take a look.

[Freakpyromaniac]

My writen text is no centerd but i want it just alliend on the left.
How can i change this . in the 1.0 version this wasnt a problem.

i should mention, that before the update it worked perfectly :)

[stangger5]

The usergroup 6 is the only ones that can see it....

Marquee System Options//Marquee Showgroups doesnt work...

You have to edit the Marquee template..

Find this in the marquee template..
in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(6))

Add what usergroup you want between these ( )..
Like this..
in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(2,6,10,12,15))

This is correct, I forgot to edit the xml file.

Please remove <if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(6))"> from the marquee template, update is coming.

[mhuckaby]

Anyone have a board where I can go to see this in action?

Thanks!

[Totti]

working, thx a lot!
And thanks for the alternate one, too ... what is the difference between scrool and slide?!?
And another addition could be scrolling the chars in, which are just scrolled out ... you know ... currently the text starts again when the whole text is scrolled out ... with that option the first letters would come up again, when the tail is still fading out :)

[AshokForums.com]

Request: I want a add on to display all the Forum titles..

[Illustrious]

I don't get the marquee show groups field :(.

[majoreyeswater]

I've installed this, it's really cool. Thanks.

I've also updated my marquee tamplate as shown by stangger5 to include usergroups to which it is visible, until the updated version comes out.

However, just wondering about a possible future feature that might add tremendous value. What if rather than one long message, it was several independent messages that you could assign a hyperlink to to take you to other pages etc?

I amsure it's difficult and I've have no diea, but something like that would really rocket this into another level...

[o0Hubba0o]

I have it up HERE (http://www.graphicsanonymous.net/forums/index.php), just basic right now, seems to work great for me, great hack!

[Diggazz]

I have intalled it

and it works well with FF and IE but my Opera users report that only half the text shows

The top half

ie draw an imaginary line through the text like a strike through and discard the bottom half. this is all they see.

Is there any way around this anomaly besides not using Opera

I apologise, i never really investigated this too much before I started posting. I have just realised that the message text box accepts html... so I can do it myself. It took a while but the penny dropped.

Sorry and thanks again for a great mod.

[Viks]

this Marquee system is GREAT no doubt on that but the only hitch is that the marquee's are usually quite jerky!!! which makes it very undesirable on the main page.

If you can incorporate javascript to make the scrolling smooth then this modification will turn out to be a pretty handy one for all forum admins.

just a suggestion.

thanks

[RFViet]

If i don't want scrolling => how can i do that ??

[Mr. Bone88]

Excellent marquee system, great job! I was wondering if there is a way to add another marquee that can show different text and etc than the first one?

Thanks,
~Mr. Bone88

[Gripemaster]

Very, very nice product... much better than the generic one I had on there... *Clicks Install* Thank you!

[ITPMenace]

Is there any way to get the message to use PHP code? I'd like to use:
<? include 'http://www.mysite.com/random.php'; ?>
The random.php file then picks a random line from a text file.

Anyway, I've tried this a bunch of different ways and nothing happens...

Thanks,
Menace

background color is based on the table color in your css file for talbe headers. its a cool idea for feature releases ill talk to the coder.

[Luggruff]

Where exactly do I find the template for this to add:
in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(2,6,10,12,15))

??

It's not the marquee table.. at least not in my hack.. (the one without no subcategory in templates)

pretty cool marquee

just a couple things

1 changing the background color would be nice as posted above
2 coding this in javascript would really smooth it out
3 I'd like the message to begin again before the first is done scrolling

And I can't imagine where to put it -_-
And I most certainly don't see how adding this in THAT template would give me the option of setting wich usergroups I want in: vBulletin settings -> Marquee System Options ..as none of the other options on that page is in this template either.

you have to edit this in the xml file and then reinstall

[Tulsa]

It's not in the xml file either. I believe the author has removed this right now...

TEMPORARY REMOVEDshowgroups .: set what groups you want to view the marquee :.

So I suppose it's open to everyone at the moment?

[inspiration100]

Thanks for the wonderful hack, I would love to see you add in RSS feed!!!

[Luggruff]

Ahh..

And could someone just upload an edited xml file then? -_-
It's just worthless without usergroup restrictions for my needs.. and I need it.

Btw, does someone know why it's temporarily removed? o_0

[Gunshot]

If you open the marquee template you will find that there are 2 instances of:

<td class="vbmenu_control"

this controls the color or style of the table

I changed mine to: (2 instances)

<td class="tcat"

and this is the result:

example (http://fantasysportsxtreme.com/fsx/index.php?)


you could also change it to:

<td class="thead"
or
<td class="alt1"
or
<td class="alt2"

or probably even an image or clear gif

[XtremeOffroad]

Can this be coded to show a different message per user group?

Cute little mod. We are using it for our online staff announcements.

Thanks for the effort you put into it!

[shadowdancer36]

Just wondering how I would make this show on VBportal? I tried creating a block to place the $marquee in, but no luck. Should I make the block a php, or html?
I can't even get VBportal to pull that from the header either.

EXCELLENT marquee system!!! one issue though........how can i get this to show on MORE than just my forum home. i have cmps 2.0.0 with vb 3.5.3

it works great on my forum home but NO matter what i edit i cannot get it to show on the home page, at the top of a thread, OR on my vbproarcade page.

any/all help is greatly appreciated.

once you have added the $marquee bit to the vba_cmps_include_bottom.php file, this will show on VBA... if you ONLY want this on your VBA homepage and NOT every page that uses your header then simple add $marquee to your 'adv_portal' template after $header .

lovely marquee by the way - i love it ! :)

[muan]

Very nice, thanks :nervous:

[Calisse]

Absolutely fabulous ;)

[ronoxQ]

Just as an idea, Sezmar... maybe people should post up what they're using their marquee for, so others can get ideas?

I'm trying to get it to show the newest users, myself, but thus far it's not working.

[NiTRoN]

Quick suggestion.. Any way u can add option to turn the collors off.. so it will use default template colors. It is really hard to chose right color so it works on multiple skins on your board. My board has skins that have black and white backgrounds...

my 2cents Other than that its wonderfull.. :)

Using custom CSS, you can get it to look however you like. I also duplicated the marquee and used <if> statements to show a different message for unregistered members.

[xOzzie]

SmashinYoungMan, I like what you've done. Can you post an example of your "if" statement so I can see how you did that?

Thanks!

[SmashinYoungMan]

SmashinYoungMan, I like what you've done. Can you post an example of your "if" statement so I can see how you did that?

Thanks!
Sure. :)

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(6,7,2,5,10,11))">
<td width="50%" class="marqueebar">$marquee</td>
<else />
<td width="50%" class="marqueebar">$marquee2</td>
</if>

The array is all my registered usergroups, and $marquee shows the message I'd like them to see. The $marquee2, which is the duplicated marquee system, shows the unregistered/not-logged-in message.

[xOzzie]

Thanks!

OK, dumb question. Where did you put the code? I can't find 'marqueebar' used in any of the templates or in the .xml product file. :confused:

[SmashinYoungMan]

The first thing you will need to do is duplicate the marquee system. Attached to this post is the zip file for the duplicate. Install it just as you would the original marquee system. After you install that, you will see in your vBulletin Options settings for the second marquee system.

Then you simply substitute this code for the "$marquee" you originally put in the header template:

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(6,7,2,5,10,11))">
$marquee
<else />
$marquee2
</if>

Remember to put the proper usergroup IDs in the array for your registered members.

[SmashinYoungMan]

One thing: Remember that whenever sezmar updates the marquee system, the duplicate will have to be upgraded as well. Duplicating the marquee system involves editing the original xml product file, so newbies to this sort of thing may not want to bother with this.

[xOzzie]

Great! Thanks for the detailed reply. This will be useful.

[xOzzie]

Works well but for some reason I can't get the 2nd marquee, for non-registered users, to scroll. It just displays fixed text.

I'll keep fooling with it. Even without the scroll it's extremely useful to be able to remind lurkers to register. :)

Did you get it lined out yet? I double-checked the zip file I attached to make sure I didn't goof up anywhere, though it is the same I use on my site without issue.

[xOzzie]

Not yet, but to be honest I haven't had time to mess with it to much. I did compare both templates and both .xml files and didn't find any differences other than the change of notation to marquee2. The scroll variable seems to be set the same in both but it's only scrolling on the first marquee entry. I need to try some different postions in the header to see if that affects the function.

[digitalltv]

anyone can tell me each templates i need change for this hack work in all forum?

P.S. is possibel make that auto? i mean when install everything work in all forum?

[xOzzie]

I found that putting the $marquee notation in the HEADER template for each of the styles I use caused the marquee to display on each page of my forum. I use two different styles, one for the main forum pages and another for the vBa cmps portal page.

Admincp -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> click the <<>> next to the style you want to change. Navigate to the HEADER template, double click it to open the editor and make the change.

Can anyone help me install this? I'm so lost :( I uploaded it and it's in my products, but from there, I can't figure it out :(

[yumyumcat]

poops, forgot to click subscribe

[glorify]

Love it. Any way to use bb code or html in your message?

[jim6763nva]

Is there any way to get the marquee to appear below the navbar on all pages? I tried sticking the $marquee variable in the navbar template but that doesn't seem to work. use vbAdvanced CMPS too.

Thanks
Jim

[glorify]

Take a peek at mine:

http://www.glorifythepast.com

go to the navbar template, find:

<!-- / nav buttons bar -->

Add under:
$marquee

To make it show up on your vba, in your admincp, go to:
vBa CMPS=>Default Settings=>Portal Output Global Variables

then add:
marquee
in the box.

[jim6763nva]

Thanks that worked great! :)

[glorify]

No problemmo :)

[jatkiss]

If I wanted to add a new module on the left side of my CMS how would I go about that and what information do I need to put into the add module and what style of modules do I need to use, BB, php, template? And what would be the steps I would need to take to do this.

What I am trying to do is create a box that has text information scrolling up. I have the second template uploaded. I just need to figure out how to add the information in.

[Dermo-MIO]

thanks its cool but i got sum1 to install another not as good marque which i cannot get rid off now i have deleted it in my plugin list but its still there so until i can stop it i cant use this

[gothicuser]

Any news on an update. I use it now, but would love to see it use java to smooth it out.
:D :D

[r0xt4r]

Love it, keep up the great work Cant wait to see upgrades!!

[djwins]

Can you have the marquee text be a hyperlink?

[Tyegurl]

okay i just figured a cool little added bonus. I am not sure if this has been stated before but I don't remember seeing it.

If you add <br/><br/> after your marquee subject or whatever you use to start the marquee and then again after the first block of scrolling text then it will create another line of scrolling...

example: News<br /><br />Forum Updates
news blah blah blahs<br /><br />forum blah blah blahs

will result in
News: news blah blah blahs
Forum Updates: forum blah blah blahs

[Bubble #5]

Here's an idea.... How about modifying this so that it welcomes your newest registered member? :bunny:

For example; Welcome our newest member: members name

that would be sweet as a auto feature..

I am currently using it for announcing newly signed sponsers!

[midirtrider]

[midirtrider]

found it... sorry for the premature post!.

still a newbie! :)

[everevil]

works great...whre do i change the bacgground color?......i see the text colors but not background.

Has anyone found a way of changing the background color?

[SmashinYoungMan]

Has anyone found a way of changing the background color?
I did it using custom CSS. There is no way to do it through the marquee settings.

[Hornstar]

Sorry for the noob question and being lazy to search lol

but what is Marquee?

Anyone got a demo so i can take a look at what it looks like on a site?

[joseph2007]

Nice Job Sez I just installed it :) ** Clicks install **

Wow! GREAT hack!!

if you want you can visit our site here (http://www.visionsfantastic.com/main.php)

Nice Neo_obs
Can ya post what I need to do to get mine to do that
I like the block idea

[Sangrun]

Nevermind.... I found it. :D

[Neo_obs]

to get it that way we used vbadvanced and just added the marquee to the page.

[jamiepryer@hotm]

great mod, have installed - cheers :)

im using it to post up the locations of all the mobile speed cameras in our county on a daily basis!
i have access to them on a weekly basis, but i cant think of a way to do it for a week. suggestions maybe?

[MrSquid]

Been using this for a while - my users love it and so do I! HIGHLY recommended!

I use it to highlight upcoming events that are discussed in more detail deeper in the site - I would love to see the ability to make the marquee a link so they could get right TO those details.

[Watched]

call me impatient or whatever, but.. i am curious to know when the show to usergroups option will be readded. i'd personally love to have this feature.

[big dan]

Awesome plugin works perfectly. Thanks :)

One tip for you guys who install it: You cannot post links on the marquee, I tried using both bbcode and html. bbCode doesn't parse and HTML completely discombobulates the page.

[Aeolian]

compatible with vB 3.6 :/ ??
this is best marquee plugin , an update would be appreciated! :D

It works in 3.6;)

[VViper]

Great Mod, Installed and working. You owe me a set of eyes though becuase mine poped out.

[Jenkins]

Awesome! Very nicely put together!!

One question would it be possible in a future version to put a "add calendar" option, that would automatically insert the scheduled event title of the next "x" ammount of weeks into the marquee? That would bee sweet! my marquee is used mostly to draw attention to up coming events. http://www.okgmp.com

[corbin joshua]

I like it, thanks! Installed!

[Spiffware]

its set to work on all vb virsions.

<i>Great Mod !

But I have a silly question...

I've read all the thread and I read about the 1.1 update (version) of the MOD, but in the first post I can only download the 1.0.5 version.

¿Where's the 1.1?

Thanks in advance.</i>

[mpage]

so is there no way this can work with RSS feer, it would make a really nice ticker

[AMG021]

how do you change the backround of the marqee? Any help is appreciated

[mpage]

ok Ive made one in java that works with RSS feed, it works on my forum home, Ill get it uploaded here as some sort of add on (unless ppl think its poo)

[Cybershaolin]

How do you choose if the marquee will appear or not depending on which group the members are on?

This would really rocks if we could choose not to show the banner for non-registered users.

Is there a way how to achieve this?

[nanaimobar]

Great addition to my site (http://www.punzhu.com). Google translates marquee text without a problem. To see vBulletin section of site click on "Free Magazines" in left menu. Clicked installed.

[lefteris]

my scrolling is working but not working with IE7

We tried this and it works great with Firefox but in IE it seems to stick, the scroll starts but stops basically when it hits the secound <br/><br/>.

Anyone have two lines of text working fine with IE.?

[rooney72]

The marquee is working but I'm still uncertain about the width. I've changed for various times.

Take a look at the image attached. Note the Scrolling marquee at the right hand corner - That is a part of a jpg scrolling and should be reading SPONSOR THIS CATEGORY just like the icon showing on the bottom right hand corner.

1. How should I widen that part so that ALL the banner and mind you even text can be read as WHOLE?

2. How can I change the background colour behind the marquee?

THANKS

[viper357]

Awesome hack, I have it running on 3.6.5.

BUT

How do I get it to work on vbadvanced cmps?

Thanks

[Dave Hawley]

Very nice! How can we change the background color though?

[Dave Hawley]

Ok, found it. It's hidden in a template called "marque" ;)

[theOZer]

FYI: Running V3.6.8. NYNMS installed clean and functionality is solid.
To empower the user, try this:
Create a Marquee On or Off option in the UserCP. Then wrap $marquee in an if tag that checks this setting.
1) Add UserCP Marquee On/Off button:
ACP / User Profile Fields / Add New User Profile Field
Title:
Marquee (pick one you like)
Desc:
Turn the marquee On or Off.
Options:
On
Off
wheel down to Display Page,
choose "Options: Other" (puts button in Misc Options)
save
In User Profile Field Manager, note under Name the field number, e.g., field9.
2) Then in the Header template wrap $marguee with an if tag based off the user's preference:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['field9'] <> 'Off'">
$marquee
</if>
Change this example's field9 with your button's field number.

[ArchangelX]

Is there anyway to create a hotlink option so that people that click on the marquee can go directly to what you're talking about? Thanks!

[Keesa]

Background color help.

I have tried changing it both via CSS and HTML and it is not working.

<table bgcolor="white" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">

<table class="marquee" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">

Neither will change it from the tborder color.

Any ideas?

Thanks.... I am in Firefox.

[Sothside40]

i really need the usergroup setting on this :(

edit: damn this is for 3.53

lol

[Jim Co]

works great on 3.8.1 just wish the usergroup option was not disabled or help on how to enable it.....

[helalmail]

I did " install product and add $marque in header"

This is what i goton the site:
Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: marquee in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4007

Do I need to make a new template , the one mentioned in the posts called marque?

I created template name marquee , then enabled the plugin, I got again error message!

[Xaices]

I am getting the same thing as the above poster, but on a different line.

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: marquee in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4330

I know this mod is for 3.5.3, how ever had an earlier version of 4.x it was working fine on.

Would be nice if someone made a 4.x version of this, would gladly donate to such project.

[Fivestones]

thanks i like it a lot ..
