Looking for a marquee just like;
Looking for a marquee as clean and simple as the one these cats are using:
http://www.vbcover.com/icart.php?do=...t&productid=49 Weirdly enough, for a site that sells vB bolt-ons, the maruee isn't one of them. I'm seriously out of my depth for most of this stuff - I admin a gaming forum (badly) - (http://www.square-n-compass.net/) and just need something easy to work with/install/manage. Really wanted this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...167061&page=18 to work for me; it has more options than I even need. But I'm clearly botching the install, or something. Couldn't even tell if it's compatiable with 4.2 and the last person to ask (I think on an earlier version, maybe just a similar mod) never got an answer (and I hate to needlessly gravedig after that. I'm getting to the point where I'll just pay out of my own pocket to get this done. Can anyone tell me where I should be looking, or what I should be doing? I could really use the help. |

A JS news ticker is easy to install, follow the instructions here: http://www.mioplanet.com/rsc/newsticker_javascript.htm

I had been looking at that exact page! lol
I'm actually willing to work to adapt almost any plugin, as long as two criteria can be met: 1. That I can control who can see it (restricting it to particular usergroups, like the chatbox, or really any area of the forum,) and; 2. That the content can be easily changed out by moderators. (I noticed in at least one ticker I looked at, the .htm file would need to be altered and reupped to the server, and I'm way too paranoid and lazy to police people with too much access.) The hack that davidw wrote/posted bolt in to the admincp, albeit on older vB versions. That at least feels familiar to me (I self-taught everything I needed to know when I built our forum. Seeing the word "stylevars" still makes me shudder a bit, if that gives you any idea of my anti-skill.) I know what I'm looking for exists... should probably just be less choosey, huh? lol |

Control who can see it by wrapping the div in an if condition for usergroups and in have the rss from one particular post as the content, that way the mods can change the post which changes the content

@setishock - Thanks! Gonna have to do some reading.
@Simon Lloyd - I like that! I'll have to roll up the sleeves to figure out how to write the if condition (I know where everything is, mainly I just don't don't know how to express a particular usergroup set in that language, it can't be as simple as it sounds!) If I can make this work I'll post it somewhere for someone to see. |

To display to certain usergroups:
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,2,8,10,11) ">Marquee</vb:if> Here's a list of conditionals, just remember to replace <if with <vb:if and </if with </vb:if https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=215032 |
