Place a scrolling marquee on navbar (header)

This is a very simple html code to place in your navbar but it's really cool!

Hack updated to version 1.5, now using phrases manager!

First, you need to create the marquee phrase, which you can edit it anytime you want using the phrase manager, goto:
Admincp >> Languages & Phrases >> Phrase Manager >> Add New Phrase
and add the following

Phrase Type: GLOBAL
Product: vBulletin
Varname: marquee
Text: *The marquee that you wanna display*

now open your navbar template:
Admincp >> Styles & Templates >> Style Manager >> *template* >> navbar

Find this code

</table>
		<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
		<input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />		
		<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
		<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
		</form>
		<!-- / login form -->
			
		</td>
		
	</if>	
	
</tr>

Place under it

<tr>
  <td colspan="3" class="alt1"><marquee><span class="smallfont"><b><font color="#FF0000">$vbphrase[marquee]</font></b></span></marquee></td>
  </tr>

If you have already installed it, all you have to do is replace the navbar code with the new one that includes the $vbphrase[marquee]

it worked perfect for me, with Firefox, so sorry, must be something else you have done wrong... :banana:

could it pull data from either a database or a csv or simillar? i see 200 weight loss clients per week and would like to put a list of people weekly progress in the forums such as

baldnut -2lb, jane edwards -1lb, sarah stewart -1.5lb, etc?

i only use firefox and works greast on the demo site (as i aint installed yet)

[BaldNut]

is there a limit to how much text you can put in the phrase manager?

Installed and working fine btw www.diethell.co.uk/forums

Thanks. Worked perfectly.

<marquee scrollamount="5">Pink Floyd</marquee>

I'm a beginner here...what do I do with that code to slow down the marquee?

And how do I change the scroll direction? I want it to scroll from left to right.

Thanks in advance

Ive made a similar thing but uses java to download any rss feed
and displays it as a ticker:

see this post (java rss feed ticker), might be what your looking for: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...98#post1122198

I have it installed in my forum, how do I slow it down?

The speed is ok as it is, but a bit slower would be perfect.

This is a great hack, clicked install!

Go into your admincp
vBulletin Options>Menu Alert Options
scroll down towards bottom (just above 'save' button) you will see 'Marquee Speed'
input a number for the delay..... that should do it
