You need to edit that module, and use a html marquee code. 

But this is very old way. No one is using marquee texts these days..

edit module? it's not necessary to edit module!

html box pro allows to use any code you want anywhere you want.

Hi Vekia.

 

My website is www.cykelstaden.se

 

font size 16 and color white

 

Thank you

[vekia]

ok so open modules > modules

and search for html box pro, click on configure button

 

activate "displayTop" hook, and click on add box button.

Turn on "simple" text editor, and paste there this code:
 

<marquee scrolldelay="1" scrollamount="2" direction="left" behaviour="scroll"style="font-size:16px; color:#FFF; position: absolute; left:430px; top: 80px; width:295px">
This is my moving text
</marquee>

Hi Vekia

 

Im not shure if i understand your explanation.

 

In the htmlboxpro i only have a hook called "top" not "displayTop"

and what do you mean with "turn on simple text editor" i can not find this.

 

I attach picture

 

I really appreciate you helping me with this.

 

Thank you

[vekia]

hello

by dispalyTop i mean Top - sorry for the confusion

so add block to this section.

 

by "code" i mean this button

[plutten22]

Hi Vekia

 

Ok, then it was as I thought.

I have tried it but the code must be wrong. Half My website goes white when I use your code.

 

Please look if there is something wrong with the code.

 

Thank you

[vekia]

sorry i missed your reply

make sure that you use correct code:

<marquee scrolldelay="1" scrollamount="2" direction="left" behaviour="scroll"style="font-size:16px; color:#FFF; position: absolute; left:430px; top: 80px; width:295px">
This is my moving text
</marquee>

your actual code:

 

[plutten22]

Hi Vekia

 

I have done what you said and the post is aktive now but there is no text.

I copied your text and pasted it into the module.

See attached new picture

Thank you

[plutten22]

Hi Vekia.

 

It is working now. Thank you.

But it dos not show any thing on my start page.

It shows on all the other pages.

Is there anything we can do about this.

[plutten22]

Hi Vekia.

 

I got the marquee text to work but not on the first page.

 

I would like to put som text on a category list page in the middle bottom of the page.

Which hook should I activate for this.

 

Thank you

[vekia]

it's because of minic slider, it hides some part of shop on homepage.

go to modules > positions

search for displayTop modules list and move html box pro module to the TOP of the list (it must be first on list)

[plutten22]

Ok thank you.

 

Did you have a answer for my second question witch Hook i should activate.

[vekia]

can you please write your second question once again, im reading this thread and i cant find it :/ sorry but i probably missed something

[plutten22]

Ok. Here

I would like to put som text on a category list page in the "middle and bottom" of the page.

Which hook should I activate for this.

[vekia]

thank you for quick response

 

you mean, that you want to display contents here:

 

+

 

 

 

?

[plutten22]

yes

[vekia]

ok

so it's a bit more complicated

 

by default prestashop hasn't got hooks there, so we have to create own hooks and modify theme template file.

 

so for example, we will use two custom hooks:

- productListAbove - {Hook::exec('productListAbove')}

- productListBelow - {Hook::exec('productListBelow')}

 

i recorded video:

 

 

then go to category.tpl file located in your theme directory

 

change:

{include file="./product-list.tpl" products=$products}

to:

{Hook::exec('productListAbove')}
{include file="./product-list.tpl" products=$products}
{Hook::exec('productListBelow')}

Hi Vekia

 

It works perfect.

 

Thank you for helping me.

[plutten22]

Hi Vekia.

 

I need help with one more thing.

I want to put text on a manufacturer list page at the bottom.

Where do i put the "manufacturer id" so the text only shows on one page.

 

Thank you

[PascalVG]

Hi plutten,

 

A tiny addition to Vekia's perfect explanation and code:

 

the marquee tag has an option to tell how many loops you want it to scroll. This may be useful to not bother the customer all the time with the scrolling texts. (Normally you would use this only to get attention for a short while)

 

example:

<marquee loop="2">

 

supported by all major browsers (IE5.5 up)

 

(BTW, standards org W3C doesn't encourage it's use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquee_element   and it's non-standard HTML)

 

 

 

My $.02,

pascal.

Hi Vekia.

Thank you

at the moment module hasn't got feature to display blocks only on selected "manufacturers"

of course i can add this feature in nearest future (this week)

[plutten22]

Hi Vekia

 

Ok. if you can make this it would be very nice.

I have already made the hook for manufakturer list page. I only need the tick box to put the id now.

Thank you

[vekia]

so, due to the fact that you're waiting for new feature i decided to release update today

it will be available for 2-3 hours

 

i will let you know here

[plutten22]

Ok.

 

Thanks

[vekia]

Ok.

[vekia]

[plutten22]

Hi Vekia.

[plutten22]

Hi Vekia

 

I made new hooks and then it worked.

[vekia]

[plutten22]

[vekia]

at the moment there is no feature to remove already defined hooks in this way.

it's a bit more complicated, but of course, i will release new version with this feature.
