No upgrades to this hack? I was expecting so much from this.. even a HOTM nomination

i am perfectly satisfied with it ... without further updates ;)

Let's see how it looks, thanks :)

Is it possible to have this effect integrated with this hack :) ?

concidering this is a table had a full page probly now most javascripts need the had header settings and this does not i say no but play if you can let us know we will look into it im sure. or be my guest to make a addon to it..

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

Thanks for the effort you put into it!

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.

bump

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 ! :)

Very nice, thanks :nervous:

Absolutely fabulous ;)

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.

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.

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. :)

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.

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:

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:

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

Installed nice mod.

I love marquees..thanx a lot! *clicked install*

Great hack. Thankyou.
*clicks install*

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 :(

poops, forgot to click subscribe

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

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

Take a peek at mine:

http://www.glorifythepast.com

go to the navbar template, find:
Add under:
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.

Thanks that worked great! :)

No problemmo :)

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.
