Marquee in bottom of screen (Solved with addional plugin, see attachement in this post)

[JeejD]

Hi Menno,

Would it be hard to get some kind of marquee at the bottom of a screen, that keeps visibility every slide?

It would be nice to have such an option and even better if we could fill it up with text / rss feeds.

Best regards,

Hi Menno,

I hope the attachement works.
I managed to make an additional plugin for Foyer to add a Ticker to the display. When this plugin is enabled, it will add an extra options box to the Display post type.

What I've done:

• Added an option to enable / disable to show a ticker at the bottom of a display
• Added a Textfield where users can add a custom text to show in the ticker
• Added a color picker for users to choose a background color for the ticker
• Added a color picker for user to choose a text color for the ticker
• Added a speed option for users so they can choose at which speed the ticker text will go
• Added a text size option for users to let them choose the font size of the text in the ticker
• Added a URL field for users to add a RSS-feed that will then show in the ticker

How it works:

Enable/Disable - When the ticker is enabled, it will show on that display in the frontend.
Add text - Users can add any text they like that will show in the ticker. When a RSS-Feed URL is giving in the RSS-feed option, then the RSS-feed will automatically override this text field.
Background color - Users can choose any background color for the ticker
Text color - Users can choose any text color the the ticker
Speed option - User can choose a speed for the text from 1-10
Text size - User can choose any giving text size for the text / RSS-feed in the ticker (in px)
RSS-Feed url field - Users can add a rss-feed url that will display only the title of 10 RSS-feed items. Whenever this field is used, it will automatically override any text in the textfield option.

I think it's a cool option to add to the original Foyer plugin. Please feel free do adjust the code to your liking, and use it as you want. I've already credited you in the source code as the original author for the Foyer plugin.
