Scrolling News

change your today_news.tpl to this:

Code:

{* $Id: today_news.tpl,v 1.10.2.1 2005/09/21 05:41:51 mclap Exp $ *}



<marquee scrollamount="1" scrolldelay="65" direction="up" width="176" height="150" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt">



{if $news_message eq ""}

{$lng.txt_no_news_available}

{else}

<B>{$news_message.send_date|date_format:$config.Appearance.date_format}</B><BR>

{$news_message.body}

<BR><BR>

{if $usertype eq "C"}

<A href="news.php" class="SmallNote">{$lng.lbl_previous_news}</A>

{/if}

{/if}

{if $is_news_subscribeable eq 'Y'}

<HR size="1" noshade class="VertMenuHr">



</marquee>

{/if}

This will scroll the most current news item..havent figured out how to scroll previous ones, other than to copy and paste the text in between the <marquee> tags..(not the most efficient way)

Re: Scrolling News

Just remember that the <marquee> tag is depreciated and only works in IE.

Re: Scrolling News

Hi, I added your code and it looks good except that it also scrolls the email entry box and the subscribe button. 8O

It sort of looks like one of those banner games trying to enter the email address and submit on the fly :lol:

I tried inserting your code, but it still scrolls everything.

Would like to know your progress on older news scrolling as well.

Regards,

Bob

Re: Scrolling News

Thought about it some more and moved the </marquee> up in the stack. Here is the revised code.

Code:

 

{* $Id: today_news.tpl,v 1.10.2.1 2005/09/21 05:41:51 mclap Exp $ *}

<marquee scrollamount="1" scrolldelay="65" direction="up" width="176" height="150" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt">

{if $news_message eq ""}

{$lng.txt_no_news_available}

{else}

<B>{$news_message.send_date|date_format:$config.Appearance.date_format}</B><BR>

{$news_message.body}

</marquee>

<br /><br />

{if $usertype eq "C"}

<a href="news.php" class="SmallNote">{$lng.lbl_previous_news}</a>

{/if}

{/if}

<br /><br />

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<tr>

<td class="VertMenuHr"><img src="{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif" class="Spc" alt="" /></td>

</tr>

</table>

<font style="font-size: 8px;"><br /></font>

Now the message only scrolls leaving the email box and subscribe button.

Ant ideas of how to add more than one news point would be appreciated.

Regards,

Bob

Re: Scrolling News

cool, glad it worked for you. does it work on most browsers for you? its working in firefox and internet explorer for me, havent tested the other ones. to show other news items that are in your database i assume you would have to call the news.php...but im not sure on the coding :(
