Menu Alert

Hey all,

What is Menu Alert?
This modification, installs an alert that is displayed globally across your vBulletin forum.
It is completely admin controllable, and simple to install.

What can I do using Menu Alert?
The features of Menu Alert include:

• Alert Menu Switch - Ability to turn your alert on/off.
• Title/Content Change - Ability to change the title and content of your alert.
• Title/Content Colour Change - Ability to change the colour of both your title and content of your alert.
• Marquee Switch - Ability to turn on a 'Marquee'. This turns your alert into a 'Marquee'.
• Marquee Direction - Ability to change the direction in which the marquee turns.
• Title Prefix - Ability to change the prefix of your title.
• HTML Ready - You can use HTML in this release!

How long will it take me to install Menu Alert?
Menu Alert is easier to install than any of my previous modifications! Just one product, will install:
1 Template
1 Plugin
1 Admin Controllable Menu
All you must do is insert $menualert into your navbar template and it's fully installed!

I like this. XD Simply for the fact I can do cheesy "State of Emergency" messages when I'm updating the site...

Great Hacks by the way

I use the Global Announcement as an announcment area for my VBDrupal Blog area, as VBDrupal has no current way of bringing attention to itself on the forum home template. I just manually input the new additions into the GA hack.

I use the Menu Alert hack as a "global announcement" device....

Works great.

ability to use/store several messages
add slot machine type scrolling so that when used in conjunction with the above feature it would rotate between one message and another by flipping up.
ability to point the hack to a forum/s to pull the latest threads from it
ability to turn it off by usergroups

Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm hopefully going to include viewable by selected usergroups.
I like the slot machine suggestion

Yup i'm pretty sure this can be done
I'll include it in the update

You know, this really is a good addition. I needed this.
It's clear, why: http://www.russbo.org/vb/index.php?styleid=3
Thanks!

How can i slow down the scroll?

[Reef]

Thanks Marky

I stripped it down to the bare necessities. :laugh:

I agree about the scrolling needing some work, it moves about 60mph across my board.

[trackpads]

Any idea how to make it stretch across the screen instead of breaking so early?

Great hack btw!! Thanks!!
