Not really sure what you mean about the spacing issue.  If your having trouble with embedded objects you could try this.

less
.flex-box {
  position: relative;
  height: 0;
  padding-top: 1.5625rem;
  padding-bottom: 75%;
  margin-bottom: 1rem;
  overflow: hidden;

  iframe, object, embed, video{
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
  }
}


slider{
   position: absolute;
   width : 100%;  // in jquery when orientation change or window resize events happens, recalculate this to slide * window width
   transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
   transition: animation .3s linear;

   .slide{
       float: left;
       max-width: 100%;
       width: 100%:
   }

   &.animate{
       animation: slider .3s forwards;
   }
}

@keyframes slider{
  0%{
      transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
  }
  100%{
      transform: translate3d(-800px, 0, 0);
  }
}
Vendor prefixes you would need to add yourself. You should be able to figure out the rest via javascript.

<div class="flex-box">
    <div class="slider animate"> // this is the element you want to slide/animate
        <div class="slide" id="1" data-index="1">
               <iframe></iframe> // some video or whatever
        </div>
        <div class="slide" id="2" data-index="2">

              <iframe></iframe> // some video or whatever

        </div>
    </div>
</div>
You would then apply a transform: translate3d(0,0,0) on the .slider element based on the data-index of each element

1.1.3 just submitted - fixed the problem of it not scrolling in 1.1.2. It's also in editable format if anyone wants to improve on it - it still has the spacing issue.

I'll post when it's been approved into the library.

I don't really like repeating myself, @joecool111, but I'll repeat myself here. I'm not sure what part was not clear, but here it is:

sorry i got confused with fixed,approved and updated.


I was asking if its been fixed/works, but you said it works, but said wait for approval, which makes me think its not good enough yet and not fixed. ?? 


idk ? 



pm when when your done

The issue with it not scrolling in 1.1.2 that was brought to my attention was fixed for 1.1.3. As with all plugins, it has to be approved before the updated version will show in the library.

there's was never a problem with mine, should i use the new one ?

If you've never updated to 1.1.2 (i.e: you're still on 1.1.1 or before), you don't have to. 1.1.2 was done to fix a conflict with the Easy Affiliate Table, but I forgot to make another change so it would scroll. 1.1.3 was submitted to fix that issue. If you're not using the Easy Affiliate Table plugin, you don't need to update. If you plan on using the Easy Affiliate Table plugin, then you will need to update to 1.1.3 when it becomes available - otherwise you'll have issues on your home page.

This is a brilliant plugin, thank you!

This may be a basic error of mine, but my 5-line marquee is ending in <<<>>> in white text, even though I've got no text in the Text Line 6 Settings area.

Is there any way to get rid of it? I didn't seem to see anyone else post that question on this thread, but sorry if I missed it.

First, thank you kindly for the compliment.

As far as the <<<>>> goes, that's a hard-coded divider. As the marquee is intended to start showing the first line again after the last line entered, that it used to show that the marquee has now gone through the text lines and is now re-starting back at the first line.

I'm currently working on Version 2.0.0 that will make adding / editing / removing text lines / links easier, but it's not finished yet. Was there any particular symbol (or set of symbols) you'd prefer to have as that divider? I will also be adding in an option to change its color via the UI.

I'll be gone the rest of today, but I'll be back tomorrow evening sometime to check back here for a reply.


EDIT: To anyone using this plugin - if you wish for some different type of divider that displays after the last text line and before the first text line starts again, feel free to suggest them here. As said above, I will be adding a color option for it. Please note, however, that I have no intentions of removing it. Given that, if you don't want it to display, you can always set its color to the background color under it. If there are enough requests for its removal, I may add a class that you can use to adjust the CSS of it to transparent. If different dividers are suggested, they'll appear (if possible) in the UI for you to select from.

Hiya Lynx,there is some sort of an issue with my instalation of 2.0.0 because the marquee is not showing at all.The UI seems functional and saves settings but there is no visible sign of the marquee in my forum at all,it's like it's not installed at all.

Things I have tried:
1/Save setting on all page and enabled it.
2/Disable other plugins.
3/Delete the older version and reinstall the newer one.
4/Finally I installed it in a brand new naked forum (no other plugins,skins or code customization at all)

Unless...Ouch I am thinking maybe I know the reason now..I am viewing my forums with a mobile since your previous versions worked on mobile devices and most of my members are gamers on mobiles.
So,the new 2.0.0 is PC compatible only then?
If so no big deal I will just revert back to an older version.

Hi, saltin.

- Do you have a forum URL?
- Do you have a custom page as the "Home" page?
- If not a custom home page, or you looking on the home page?

In my OP, I stated that this version only works on the Home Page and has not been tested on custom home pages. I do plan on removing the home page only next update - this update (since it was a re-write) was to make sure it worked. Unfortunately, I don't use, nor have access to, a mobile device to check this out on mobile. If you click the link in my sig, you should see it running there. This version just uses the basic <marquee> HTML tag, so there shouldn't be issues with mobile that I can think of. It was not written (as far as I know know of) that would make it just PC compatible. Have you checked with PC to see if it's working?

Edit: Also, just checking, you are checking via desktop mode and have JavaScript enabled on your mobile device, right? As you probably already know, plugins won't work on the mobile version.

Hi there!



First let me say this is a great plugin, nice work!






My question is one of text formatting, is there any way to make the scrolling text bold?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
