Menu Alert · **Released**: 01-15-2006

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?

1 Template

All you must do is insert $menualert into your navbar template and it's fully installed!

THANKS! W00T! One problem, it didn't completely work. LOL

I upgraded mine from 1.0 and tried to fool with the settings etc. HTML did work fine for me, but the speed and/or width not working

Go to your templates and look in the template menualert, make sure you have the following in the template:

Code:

<!-- 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="{$vboptions['alert_menu_marquee_direction']}" width="820"></if><font color="#{$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 -->

If this doesnt work - try reinstalling the complete modification.

This is what I have:

Code:

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

Select all the text in that template - delete it - and add:

Code:

<!-- 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="535" align="left"><if condition="$vboptions['alert_menu_marquee_switch']">
        <marquee direction="{$vboptions['alert_menu_marquee_direction']}" width="820"></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>

<!-- / #End Alert Menu Content -->
