vb.org Archive - Add-On Releases - vB News Ticker - Your Blogs RSS Feeds and Forums in a Marquee

If you want the shorthand approach, you could essentially copy the product and rename it. Then open it with a text editor or what-not - rename every variable that has a $ before it and add a 1 or whatever after it. Also, every instance in the setting and phrase will need to have their names adjusted as well (phrase before the _desc and _title)
You will want to rename these or it will only overwrite the product
<product productid="davidw_vbnews_ticker" active="1">
<title>vB News Ticker</title>
<description>Latest News in a Ticker</description>

This should give you a starting point.

-or-

Another quicker way that might work is this:

Edit the xml and find instances of $ticker_titles
Edit that variable on the forumids that you want in the different forums.
Example:

Code:

                if (fid2) {

                        $gettickers2 = $db->query_read(" 

                                SELECT t.threadid, t.title, t.forumid, t.open, t.dateline, t.visible, t.firstpostid, t.prefixid 

                                FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum f 

                                INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread t ON t.forumid = f.forumid

                                WHERE t.forumid = " . $fid2 . " 

                                ORDER BY dateline DESC 

                                LIMIT " . $desclim . " 

                        ");

                

                        while($ticker = $db->fetch_array($gettickers2))

                        {

                                $ticker['title']                = preg_replace('/\<[a-zA-Z0-9 \&lt;\<\,\&gt;\>\.\?\/\:\;\~\"\`\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\-\+\=]*\>/', '', $ticker['title']);

                                $ticker['title']                = fetch_trimmed_title(fetch_censored_text(unhtmlspecialchars($ticker['title'])), $titlelim);

                                $ticker['prefix_rich']        = $vbphrase["prefix_$ticker[prefixid]_title_rich"];

                                $ticker_titles                         .= '<a style="text-decoration:none" href="showthread.php?t='. $ticker['threadid'] .'" title="'. $ticker['title'] .'" target="blank"><font color="#'. $tickcolor .'">'. $ticker['prefix_rich'] .' '. $ticker['title'] .'</font></a> '. $ticksep.'';

                        }

                }

and change to

Code:

                if (fid2) {

                        $gettickers2 = $db->query_read(" 

                                SELECT t.threadid, t.title, t.forumid, t.open, t.dateline, t.visible, t.firstpostid, t.prefixid 

                                FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum f 

                                INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread t ON t.forumid = f.forumid

                                WHERE t.forumid = " . $fid2 . " 

                                ORDER BY dateline DESC 

                                LIMIT " . $desclim . " 

                        ");

                

                        while($ticker = $db->fetch_array($gettickers2))

                        {

                                $ticker['title']                = preg_replace('/\<[a-zA-Z0-9 \&lt;\<\,\&gt;\>\.\?\/\:\;\~\"\`\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\-\+\=]*\>/', '', $ticker['title']);

                                $ticker['title']                = fetch_trimmed_title(fetch_censored_text(unhtmlspecialchars($ticker['title'])), $titlelim);

                                $ticker['prefix_rich']        = $vbphrase["prefix_$ticker[prefixid]_title_rich"];

                                $ticker_titles2                         .= '<a style="text-decoration:none" href="showthread.php?t='. $ticker['threadid'] .'" title="'. $ticker['title'] .'" target="blank"><font color="#'. $tickcolor .'">'. $ticker['prefix_rich'] .' '. $ticker['title'] .'</font></a> '. $ticksep.'';

                        }

                }

added the 2 after $ticker_titles
then duplicate the templates
from

Code:

        <templates>

                <template name="vbnews_ticker" templatetype="template" date="0" username="davidw" version="2.0.2"><![CDATA[<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,$tickugp)"><div align="center" style="padding:2px; z-index: -1; background-color:#{$vboptions[tickbgcol]}; layer-background-color:#{$vboptions[tickbgcol]}";><marquee width="{$vboptions[tickwidth]}%" height="{$vboptions[tickheight]}" behavior=scroll scrollamount="{$vboptions[tickspeed]}" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()"><font color="#{$vboptions[tickcolor]}">$tickpre</font> $ticker_titles</marquee></div></if>]]></template>

        </templates>

Code:

        <templates>

                <template name="vbnews_ticker" templatetype="template" date="0" username="davidw" version="2.0.2"><![CDATA[<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,$tickugp)"><div align="center" style="padding:2px; z-index: -1; background-color:#{$vboptions[tickbgcol]}; layer-background-color:#{$vboptions[tickbgcol]}";><marquee width="{$vboptions[tickwidth]}%" height="{$vboptions[tickheight]}" behavior=scroll scrollamount="{$vboptions[tickspeed]}" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()"><font color="#{$vboptions[tickcolor]}">$tickpre</font> $ticker_titles</marquee></div></if>]]></template>

                <template name="vbnews_ticker2" templatetype="template" date="0" username="davidw" version="2.0.2"><![CDATA[<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,$tickugp)"><div align="center" style="padding:2px; z-index: -1; background-color:#{$vboptions[tickbgcol]}; layer-background-color:#{$vboptions[tickbgcol]}";><marquee width="{$vboptions[tickwidth]}%" height="{$vboptions[tickheight]}" behavior=scroll scrollamount="{$vboptions[tickspeed]}" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()"><font color="#{$vboptions[tickcolor]}">$tickpre</font> $ticker_titles2</marquee></div></if>]]></template>

        </templates>

Add this new template to the cache_templates plugin array
and then find this:

Code:

eval('$vbnews_ticker .= "' . fetch_template('vbnews_ticker') . '";');

copy this line and change your new line to reflect your new template. For example:

Code:

eval('$vbnews_ticker .= "' . fetch_template('vbnews_ticker') . '";');

eval('$vbnews_ticker2 .= "' . fetch_template('vbnews_ticker2') . '";');

I've not tested this, but something like this should work.
