If you add <br/><br/> after your marquee subject or whatever you use to start the marquee and then again after the first block of scrolling text then it will create another line of scrolling...

example: News<br /><br />Forum Updates
news blah blah blahs<br /><br />forum blah blah blahs

will result in
News: news blah blah blahs
Forum Updates: forum blah blah blahs

We tried this and it works great with Firefox but in IE it seems to stick, the scroll starts but stops basically when it hits the secound <br/><br/>.

Anyone have two lines of text working fine with IE.?

The marquee is working but I'm still uncertain about the width. I've changed for various times.

Take a look at the image attached. Note the Scrolling marquee at the right hand corner - That is a part of a jpg scrolling and should be reading SPONSOR THIS CATEGORY just like the icon showing on the bottom right hand corner.

1. How should I widen that part so that ALL the banner and mind you even text can be read as WHOLE?

2. How can I change the background colour behind the marquee?

THANKS

Awesome hack, I have it running on 3.6.5.

BUT

How do I get it to work on vbadvanced cmps?

Thanks

[Dave Hawley]

Very nice! How can we change the background color though?

[Dave Hawley]

Ok, found it. It's hidden in a template called "marque"

FYI: Running V3.6.8. NYNMS installed clean and functionality is solid.
To empower the user, try this:
Create a Marquee On or Off option in the UserCP. Then wrap $marquee in an if tag that checks this setting.
1) Add UserCP Marquee On/Off button:
ACP / User Profile Fields / Add New User Profile Field
Title:
Marquee (pick one you like)
Desc:
Turn the marquee On or Off.
Options:
On
Off
wheel down to Display Page,
choose "Options: Other" (puts button in Misc Options)
save
In User Profile Field Manager, note under Name the field number, e.g., field9.
2) Then in the Header template wrap $marguee with an if tag based off the user's preference:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['field9'] <> 'Off'">
$marquee
</if>
Change this example's field9 with your button's field number.

Is there anyway to create a hotlink option so that people that click on the marquee can go directly to what you're talking about? Thanks!

Background color help.

I have tried changing it both via CSS and HTML and it is not working.

<table bgcolor="white"  cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">

<table class="marquee"  cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">

Neither will change it from the tborder color.

Any ideas?

Thanks.... I am in Firefox.
