Marquee in header

[Darthmaul]

Ok, so is it possible to have a marquee in the header of my forum just above the board index button?

I need it to have a background and colors.

This isn't exact, but it'll give you an idea of what you need to do

1. Open your overall_header.html
2. Find:

<div id="page-body"> 
                <br />

3. After add:

<marquee>Whatever you want</marquee>

4. Save and overwrite old file.

Of course you'll have to play around with the marquee variables like speed, direction, etc But have fun.

I'd like something a bit like what nexus said. However nexus, what you said didn't work 🙁

 

[John1]

Try this:

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" bgcolor="#99CCFF">Your text goes here</marquee>

After you finished with the editing, did you go to ACP > General > Purge the cache or
ACP > Styles > Templates > Refresh (next to the Digital theme)

Couldn't find this anywhere:

<div id="page-body"> 
                <br />

You don't need to look for that code Darthmaul, just put it near the top of your index template and if it isn't where you want it, just add it above the next code, or below the following one.

Darthmaul, I downloaded your template files and opened 'overall_header.html' and it was there so.. I know you have it. It should be almost at the very bottom. John1 - he needs to find that line and add the code directly after if the marquee is to show exactly where he wanted it - right above the pagination.

I know but I was just saying he could add it would be a good thing to learn which bit of code is which etc 😉

So would being able to use Ctrl+F

[John1]

That wouldn't help learn phpBB code, but oh well yeah Darthmaul just use CTRL+F your sure to learn where to put the code then 😉
