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

[Dr.Viggy]

this is not showing up for me. i installed it on my 3.5.4 boards and it was fine. when i put it on the 3.6.3, i get nothin. i tried it on a custom style and the default. either way nothing shows up at all. it's very simple with just a product and no template edits. thoughts?

[Cybershaolin]

Hmm no answer yet but Im still asking just in case if you think this would be feasable. 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?

ThanX

ok for those of you that like there site to be Valid XHTML here is a lil way to get around it which i think maybe Atakan KOC should use.

Admincp ---> Styles & Templates ---> Style Manager ---> Edit Templates ---> Marquee_Text

then replace everything in there with this

<if condition="$vboptions[mtext_active]">
<table <if condition="$vboptions[mtext_border]">class="tborder"</if> border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<!-- Using javascript for the marquee since W3 doesn't like marquees. -->
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write('<marquee direction="$yer" onmouseover="this.scrollAmount=0" onmouseout="this.scrollAmount=$vboptions[mtext_speed]"><if condition="$vboptions[mtext_bold]"><b></if>
<if condition="$vboptions[mtext_italic]"><i></if>
<font color="$renk" size="$vboptions[mtext_size]">$vboptions[mtext_text]</color>
<if condition="$vboptions[mtext_bold]"></i></if>
<if condition="$vboptions[mtext_italic]"></b></if></marquee>');
//-->
</script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>

no more errors when you validate your site on http://validator.w3.org/ from this mod.

one last thing i seen was that you need to cache the template also. which is pretty easy to do for members who dont know.

Plugins & Products --> Add New Plugin -->

Product = Atakan Marquee_Text

Hook Location = cache templates ( under vbulletin general)

Title = Marquee_Text Cache

Execution Order = 5

Plugin PHP Code = $globaltemplates[] = 'Marquee_Text';

installed and the text is wishing all my members a merry xmas , thanks great mod

[kylek]

Installed and works great. But here is a stupid question?

How besides using periods do you create a space between say two sentences? I would like to have it say for example - Merry Xmas!! (long space) Happy New Year!! (longer space) Keep checking for new contest announcement, etc instead of having 20 or more periods showing.

Thanks for that installed

[girlboheme]

Thank you! Installed it. Works great

[JimmyN]

Cool hack, thanks

Would you be able to add a option into the settings in admincp which can pick where to display, i.e. Everyewhere, Forum Home, HOME, etc
maybe like a checkbox would work well.

Anyway just a idea

cheers
