Full Version: Newsbar into the footer?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hi everyone!

I love the news bar, as used on this forum - and use it in my mobile version.

For the main version, I use the excellent plug in 'Board Messages'.

My question!

How can I put a similar news bar into my footer? (Below the forums and above the footer menu?)

I have tried with code and it will place text, images, etc BUT won't use the .css to add a border or background colour.

A duplicate version of 'Board Messages' would work but I don't know how to run two instances of the plug in.

Any thoughts? Thanks all!

edit footer (file)
Um thanks. I know how to find my footer!

I want to know how to make the news bar .css code work or run a second copy of board messages.
you need to find the variable that is added by that plugin into your templates. copy that code to the footer templates...

you can also use this: http://docs.mybb.com/Help-Latest_News_Bar.html
That's fantastic. That's more detail than i had before.

Many thanks mmadhankumar
