Im desperately trying to sort this so it only scrolls in my adv_portal (vba cmps homepage) rather than on every single page via the header.

from my plugin manager in the Atakan Marquee Text i have :

switch ($vbulletin->options['mtext_color'])
{
case 0: $renk = 'Dark Red'; break;
case 1: $renk = 'Red'; break;
case 2: $renk = '#FF7E00'; break;
case 3: $renk = 'Brown'; break;
case 4: $renk = 'Yellow'; break;
case 5: $renk = 'Green'; break;
case 6: $renk = 'Olive'; break;
case 7: $renk = 'Cyan'; break;
case 8: $renk = 'Blue'; break;
case 9: $renk = 'Dark Blue'; break;
case 10: $renk = 'Indigo'; break;
case 11: $renk = 'Violet'; break;
case 12: $renk = 'White'; break;
case 13: $renk = 'Black'; break;
}

switch ($vbulletin->options['mtext_direction'])
{
case 0: $yer = 'left'; break;
case 1: $yer = 'right'; break;
}

$Positionx1 = '$spacer_open';
eval('$marqtextx = "' . fetch_template('Marquee_Text') . '";');
$vbulletin->templatecache['header'] = str_replace($Positionx1,$Positionx1.'$marqtextx' , $vbulletin->templatecache['header']);

ive tried changing the 'header' bits at the bottom to 'adv_portal' but this results in the thing just vanishing from everywhere ? what am I doing wrong ?

I had problems with this too .. copied what you said to the letter - I got some crappy error on the browser with this and the marquee did not show.

Ive uninstaleld it and will re-install again later - see if thats causing probs.

Thanks for this, installed nicely.

I too am curious about some of the questions asked here.. .. like the space left behind when turned off, and only viewable by certain members or certain pages.

Very nice, i've put it on my forum, ZuxGaming.com

One comment, if you do have it turned off (I only will use it for special announcements) it still seems to take up some real estate between my header and the breadcrumbs - problem for small screen users where every bit of real estate is needed.

Thanks again!
