scootproftest.freeforums.net/ = My test forum.


Watch the scooter moving from left to right on the message Welcome to the Forum. Yes I know it's backwards but this is just a test. What doesn't make sense Brian is I can put it on the other side going from right to left and the scooter is lower, right inline with the text. When I say inline imagine a horizontal line at the bottom of the text and the scooter wheels are on the same line as the text not above it like it is now?

Marquees display as block level elements, meaning they usually take up their own line.

You could try adding style="float: left;" to its inline attributes but I dunno if it'll meet the width of the container along with the other text.

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="right" style="float: left;"><img src="http://www.jr-richscooterdoc.com/XsmileP/X04.gif" alt="X04.gif"/></marquee>Welcome to Forum!

An attribute is one of the things that goes inside the tag, like the behavior and direction attributes of the <marquee> tag.

[Brian]

So add a width attribute to the marquee.

width="500"

Aargh! Now it moves the text to the right!


<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="right" style="float: left;" width="300"><img src="http://www.jr-richscooterdoc.com/XsmileP/X04.gif" alt="X04.gif"/></marquee>Welcome to Forum!

I dunno what to tell you other than marquees suck. Their behavior is different in every browser.

Hi Brian! Lov the plugin and always use the older version 1.0.1
because I prefer adding things to the boxes in that version,
I like to keep a backup of my plugins just in case but when I try
and DL it to desktop I get this:
Database Query Error
We're really sorry about this, but due to server issues we could not load this page.

Newer versions download fine, any way to download version 1.0.1?
Also is there any code to have it on all/a certain page besides the home page?
any advice would be appreciated dude cheers!

Go to the Components tab. Click on the Global button in the right sidebar to add a Global Header & Footer component. Copy the stuff from the Main Header & Footer component to the global one, then delete the Main Header & Footer one and save.

Excellent! Thanks loads Brian

How do I get it so that it has a clickable link displayed? as in [*url=<url>]here[*/url]?
(SOLVED)

Is it possible to make one page of the fader multiple lines of text? So instead of it all appearing as one line then wrapping, I'd like it so that I can set where the next line starts.

i.e. Instead of this:

We are currently recruiting staff members.Positions available include:*Moderators*Global Moderators*AdminPM...etc

Having this:

We are currently recruiting staff members:

Positions available include:

*Moderators

*Global Moderators

*Admin

PM... etc.

When I put this:
<span id="newest-user" style="display: none;">Welcome to our newest user, $[newest_user]!</span>

<span id="last-thread" style="display: none;">Last Updated Thread: $[last_updated_thread]</span>

<script type="text/javascript">

fContent.push(document.getElementById('last-thread').innerHTML);

fContent.push(document.getElementById('newest-user').innerHTML);

</script>
into the home page on the structure layout thing, when it went into my news fader, it scrolled through my news feeds until it got to this, at which point it got stuck cycling the newest user and the latest post fades. 

I pasted it here:

$[news]
{foreach $[category]}
<span id="newest-user" style="display: none;">Welcome to our newest user, $[newest_user]!</span>
<span id="last-thread" style="display: none;">Last Updated Thread: $[last_updated_thread]</span>
<script type="text/javascript">
fContent.push(document.getElementById('last-thread').innerHTML);
fContent.push(document.getElementById('newest-user').innerHTML);
</script>
$[category.anchor]
<div class="container boards">
<div class="title-bar bb
as opposed to here:
<span id="newest-user" style="display: none;">Welcome to our newest user, $[newest_user]!</span>
<span id="last-thread" style="display: none;">Last Updated Thread: $[last_updated_thread]</span>
<script type="text/javascript">
fContent.push(document.getElementById('last-thread').innerHTML);
fContent.push(document.getElementById('newest-user').innerHTML);
</script>
$[news]
{foreach $[category]}
$[category.anchor]
<div class="container boards">
<div class="title-bar bb
because when I pasted it into the latter, it didn't work at all. my forum
At the end of news feed it goes newest user, latest post, newest user, latest post, newest user, first news feed.

@yasineyra:

HTML can be used in this plugin, so simply add the appropriate HTML for links.

<a href="LINK TO PAGE">Text to show for link</a>

Use <br /> tags if you want to add a line break.

It shouldn't matter if you place the codes before or after the $[news] variable in the Home template as they add items to an array that was already defined earlier in the page.

The repeating issue is because you placed the code after {foreach $[category]}, so you've essentially told the page to write the code over and over again for each category on your forum. Ensure the code is before that line, not after.

OK. I half fixed it using this:

Yep!

In Structure > Layout Templates > Home, remove this bit:

<script type="text/javascript">
fContent.push(document.getElementById('last-thread').innerHTML);
fContent.push(document.getElementById('newest-user').innerHTML);
</script>

Then go to Plugins > Build > V4 News Fader and click on the Components tab.

Find the line at the very bottom that says fade(); and change it to this:

$(document).ready(function(){
    fContent.unshift($('#last-thread').html());
    fContent.unshift($('#newest-user').html());
    fade();
});

After doing that, now it displays the newest user and latest post fine, but they come first (as they are supposed to). But I want them to appear 2nd and 3rd, as my 1st News Feed post is 'Welcome to xxxxxxx'. Is it possible to do this?

unshift and push are the only array functions that add items to the array dynamically. They can only add items to the very beginning or end of the array.

Is there a way that I could make it so that I push the text ''Welcome to xxxxxxxx'', as if pushing html but really, it's just pushing text?

Yes. Add this in the same area as the other lines you added to the plugin.

fContent.push('YOUR TEXT HERE');

You can swap out the word in red with unshift if you want the line to be at the beginning instead.

Hiya, Brian! How are you today? I have a quick question regarding the V4 News plugin. Hopefully I can explain what I'd like to do. I have an image added to the background on the News container (not the title area) and on some of my themes, I'd like to have the image located either at the top or bottom of the container, with the text located the reverse of the image.

I've been playing around with css on the style sheet
.v4news > .content { background-image:
but can't seem to get it to work. Help! Is there a way to do what I'd like?

Thanks
