Ok, I made a news ticker hack. This is my first hack. YAY!

Description:
This hack allows you to enter a message in the General Settings part of vBulletin Options in your Admin CP. Enter $news anywhere on any template and the message will show up.

HUGE credit to Xenon for showing me how to get the variables to work. Without him, this wouldn't exist.

Credit to Andy Sookram for the news ticker.

News Ticker found here.

To do:
1 MySQL Query
1 File Edit
? Template Modification(s)

Enjoy!

UPDATE 12/22/02
I decided to give this simple little hack an update. It no longer adds a query, and it is less confusing to install. Enjoy

hi,

I ran the query in phpMyAdmin, but i got the following mistake:

Quote:
Fehler
SQL-Befehl : [?ndern]

INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,desc ription,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,2,\'News\',\'$news\',\'\',\'Insert forum news here...\',\'textarea\',\'7\');
MySQL meldet: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '\'News\',\'$news\',\'\',\'Insert forum news here...\',\'textarea\',\'7\')' at line 1

Zur?ck
Who can help me?

best regards
Schumi

It would help if it where english, since that is my ONLY language, but, I think I know the problem.....

Are you using phpMyAdmin 2.2.0 or something?

Anyways, to get it to work, go into the setting table, see what the bottom settingid is (make sure you have it to view all), and add a new row.

Setting ID: 1 above the last one
Setting Group ID: 2

News
news

Insert forum news here..........
textarea
7

That should do it.

Let me "shed" some light on this.

He is using a javascript news fader. You can get a hack to have a fader somewhere around here (doesn't exactly require a hack, but it makes it considerably better), just use the little search box.

Also, the optional step in the text file has not worked for me with javascript faders, so I am guessing that it won't work with any javascript.
