Topic: Scrolling Recent Posts/

[Vinoth]

Can we have this feature, a scrolling recent posts to be enabled/


for ex  http://www.thefreewebhosting.com


you can see the recent posts scroll,

Advantage  :  we can have more topics to show, and users can see all 10 -15 posts scrolling,

what about this/ 

[Owdy]

You can do this by themes  http://www.halko.net/smf/index.php

Code: [Select]

// Show lots of posts.
elseif (!empty($context['latest_posts']))
{
echo '<marquee  behavior="scroll" direction="up" height="50" scrolldelay="300" scrollamount="2">
<table width="100%" border="0">';
/* Each post in latest_posts has:
board (with an id, name, and link.), topic (the topic's id.), poster (with id, name, and link.),
subject, short_subject (shortened with...), time, link, and href. */
foreach ($context['latest_posts'] as $post)
echo '
<tr>
<td align="right" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">[', $post['board']['link'], ']</td>
<td valign="top">', $post['link'], ' ', $txt[525], ' ', $post['poster']['link'], '</td>
<td align="right" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">', $post['time'], '</td>
</tr>';
echo '
</table></marquee>';
}
echo '
</td>
</tr>';
}

ah thanx, does this make the page load slow

[Tomer]

Hmmm well of course it would add some load to the page, but so much that you would notice, dont think so.

[Grudge]

I can imagine Unknown biting off his hands if we added <marquee> into the default template... ever

[Tomer]

LOL, no doubt about that.

[Amacythe]

well... you could always hire someone to remove his teeth first

That scroll will not be browser proof.

[Vinoth]

browser proof.

[Owdy]

That scroll will not be browser proof.

Yeah, it wont work with browsers like opera 5 or some other old browsers

[Oldiesmann]

It works fine in IE, Mozilla, Firefox and newer versions of Netscape, which should cover 90% of your members... Not sure if it works in the most recent version of Opera or not.

[Owdy]

Not sure if it works in the most recent version of Opera or not.

Works fine in opera7

instead of board index, add it to the index.template

[FaSan]

Stop it on Mouse Over ? 

<marquee  behavior="scroll" direction="up" height="50" scrolldelay="100" scrollamount="2" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">

Thanks but what is the code and where exactly I'm poor with php

[Oldiesmann]

Add that right below template_menu(); in index.template.php

[raedzaro]

I did what you told me bu it gave me the following error message:
Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the /home/jordanfo/public_html/Themes/arabic/index.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.

You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.
