Forum Marquee (D-NLS)

[Keen - Summit of Legends]

Also, it doesn't loop the messages. It just runs them by once and thats it.

That worked! I put it right under Yootil so it is above everything else. Is there a way to remove the thin black border?

In the plugin settings, there's a CSS Info tab that lets you know what the CSS defaults are. To remove the border, add this to the bottom of that theme's stylesheet:


/* Remove border from Forum Marquee plugin */
.marquee {
  border: none !important;
}



If you want to affect all theme's so there's no border on any theme, put this in your Global header instead:


<style>
  /* Remove border from Forum Marquee plugin */
  .marquee {
     border: none !important;
  }
</style>



Alternatively, I believe I submitted that plugin as editable. If it is editable, you can go to Plugins > Build > Forum Marquee. Once in the build mode, go to the Components tab, then down to the CSS Components box. You can simply remove the border attribute from there. Remember to Save.


EDIT: Actually, it does loop them. For some reason (that I still don't know why), there's a big gap before it shows again. I'm still scratching my head on that one. I've seen forums sticking with version 1.1.1 - so I'll take a look at that and see if that one is more well-behaved in that aspect.

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can add on your end that will make it show on every page. However, and I should have asked this before (DORT!) - if Version 2.0.0 is editable, you can take out the part that makes it home page only.

Give me a few minutes and I'll download the library copy to see if it's editable.

EDIT: Unfortunately, I didn't submit 2.0.0 to the library in editable format. I'll see about working on getting an updated version submitted that will allow for forum-wide rather than just home page. It may take a few days though, as I have other things going on at the moment.

[Keen - Summit of Legends]

Okay thank you so much MSG! You're awesome ^-^

Keen - Summit of Legends,

I've just submitted Version 2.0.1 to the Plugin Library. It may take a few days before it gets accepted. Once accepted, it'll show up in the library - 2.0.1 removes the Home Page only aspect (so it should run on every page) as well as being an editable copy.

I'll also update my OP when I've seen it accepted into the library.


EDIT: I took a look at the code and saw that it was an easy adjustment, so I made the changes now - as it only took a couple of minutes.

[Keen - Summit of Legends]

What changes did you make exactly? Am I still waiting for the new version to get accepted, or?

[Lynx]

Keen - Summit of Legends,

The only change I made between 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 is that 2.0.1 will run on every page instead of just the home page.

The best way to tell when it's accepted is to go to the Plugin Library. The Forum Marquee plugin will show up on the first page (right now it's on Page 12) and will show Version 2.0.1 as its current version (in the Version Selector box on the right side of the page).

[Keen - Summit of Legends]

Ahh okay I just got confused XD Got it, thank you ^-^

[Lynx]

Keen - Summit of Legends, fredg, saltin, Tix Mascot and anyone else interested,

Version 2.0.1 has been accepted into the library. Library link is in the first post of this thread.

I tagged a few people as I think some of them were hoping the marquee would run on every page. As this is now possible with Version 2.0.1, just tagging you to let you know.

[Keen - Summit of Legends]

I had the page on refresh so I would see right when it was accepted XD It is running perfectly ^-^ Thank you so much!

A little help if you can Lynx

So I have been using the 1.1.1 version for awhile without problems, and tried upgrading to the newer versions (2.0.0. and 2.0.1), looking forward to the much improved/simplified interface...

The problem is, some of the tweaks I used on the original, such as putting

<script>

$(function(){

var ad = $("#top-ad-banner");
var elements = $("#m1");

if(ad && elements.length){
elements.insertBefore(ad);
}

});

</script>

in my global header to move the Marquee to the top of the page, and this

/* Changes the marquee */
.marquee { height: 25px !important; border: 3px solid #ff0000 !important; font-size: 20px !important;  text-align: center !important; background-color: #fffc00 !important; margin: auto !important; margin-bottom: 10px !important;
}
.marquee a { color: #ff0000 !important; }
.marquee a:hover { color: #ff4e4e !important; }

in my style sheet, to well, style it, don't work.

Help?

Hi, adminabp

Can you post, or PM me, the link to your forum. It needs to be guest-friendly, but all I need to do is be able to access a page that the marquee is running on.

adminabp,

Thanks for the link. In your first code:


<script>

$(function(){

var ad = $("#top-ad-banner");
var elements = $("#m1");

if(ad && elements.length){
elements.insertBefore(ad);
}

});

</script>


change it to this:


<script>

$(function(){

var ad = $("#top-ad-banner");
var elements = $("marquee");

if(ad && elements.length){
elements.insertBefore(ad);
}

});

</script>


That should put it back up on the top (it did in the console).

As far as the CSS, there's no longer a CSS component in the plugin. I don't know if this will work, but you could try changing the .marquee to just marquee (no dot in front of it) and see if that works. No guarantees on that, though. To be honest, not sure why I took out the class for it. I'll look into seeing about adding it back in.

No luck with the code change.

I even tried a few variations on 'marque'(like '#marque') with no luck, either.
