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!

How can i slow down the scroll?

go to your admincp, style & templates, style manager,.......then click on the double arrow's.......scroll down to "menualert" and click customize......when the template opens up, delete all of the infromation in the box and add this:

<!-- Alert Menu Content -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
<tr align="center"><if condition="$vboptions[alert_menu_switch]">
<td class="vbmenu_control" width="75"><font color="#{$vboptions['alert_menu_title_text_colour']}"><b>{$vboptions['alert_menu_title']}{$vboptions['alert_menu_title_fix']}</b></font></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control" width="535" align="left"><if condition="$vboptions['alert_menu_marquee_switch']">
<marquee direction="{$vboptions['alert_menu_marquee_direction']}" width="820" scrolldelay="120"></if><font color="#{$vboptions['alert_menu_content_text_colour']}"><b>{$vboptions['alert_menu_alert']}</b></font><if condition="$vboptions['alert_menu_marquee_switch']"></marquee></if></td>
</if>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / #End Alert Menu Content -->

click save and reload............

the only change that i made was: scrolldelay="120" this is what will control your speed, you can change to your specific need's, but i think 120 is perfect.........Increase the number to slow down the scroll.........try inserting 140.........ect.


I hope it was okay for me to post this, please delete if not...........thanks, hotwheels

Great hack! I made a few changes you may want to include.

I added the mouse over, speed control different then above and added height because I use it scrolling up.

This is in the "menualert" Template.

<!-- Alert Menu Content -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
<tr align="center"><if condition="$vboptions[alert_menu_switch]">
<font color="#{$vboptions['alert_menu_title_text_colour']}"><b>{$vboptions['alert_menu_title']}{$vboptions['alert_menu_title_fix']}</b></font></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control" width="535" align="center"><if condition="$vboptions['alert_menu_marquee_switch']">
<marquee direction="{$vboptions['alert_menu_marquee_direction']}" width="820" scrollAmount="1" height="14" onMouseover="this.scrollAmount=0" onMouseout="this.scrollAmount=1"></if><font color="#{$vboptions['alert_menu_content_text_colour']}"><b>{$vboptions['alert_menu_alert']}</b></font><if condition="$vboptions['alert_menu_marquee_switch']"></marquee></if></td>
</if>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / #End Alert Menu Content -->

Any way to change it so the size of it adjusts depending on what the users resolution is?

<marquee direction="{$vboptions['alert_menu_marquee_direction']}" width="820" scrollAmount="1" height="14" onMouseover="this.scrollAmount=0"
