Scrolling title template mod · **Released**: 10-25-2008

about: This hack allows you to add a scrolling title to your forum. I am working on a product to auto-matically do this for you but my skills with xml coding are minimal and still are a work in progress. I know I will recieve responses saying this is super easy; it's basic javascript; etc, I know, but not everyone knows this.

Installation:

Code:

1)
IN THE FORUMHOME TEMPLATE DO THE FOLLOWING:
#####################################################
STEP A: ## FIND <HEAD> ##############################
#####################################################
UNDERNEATH ADD:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
var scrl = " INSERT DISIRED SCROLLING TEXT HERE ";
function scrlsts() {
 scrl = scrl.substring(1, scrl.length) + scrl.substring(0, 1);
 document.title = scrl;
 setTimeout("scrlsts()", 300);
 }
//  End -->
</script>

##########################################################################################################
##########################################################################################################
STEP B: ## FIND <BODY>
##########################################################################################################
UNDERNEATH ADD:

<BODY onLoad="scrlsts()">

##########################################################################################################
DO THIS FOR EVERY TEMPLATE YOU WISH TO HAVE SCROLLING TEXT.##########################################################
##########################################################################################################
##############################################################

Coming soon:

There's no scrolling in your demo except for your favicon !

The title will be scrolling too. It may not be displaying for you. What kind of browser are you using?

RobbieZ · #4 10-25-2008, 11:04 PM

FireFox

Hmm.. theres nothing wrong with the code. try installing it on your own forum first
.

It probably is your browser

Besides visual effect I don't see any use for this.

This could have a serious effect on SEO.

Just my 2c.

This will have no effect on SEO because the actual <title> will remain the same. Since this is javascript this only affects visually. The reason I posted this is because it catches a user's attention if they visit the site.
