Marquee4U is a option rich scrolling marquee module for your Joomla 3, Joomla 4 and Joomla 5 website. When a client asked for a scrolling marquee for their Joomla website I did not find one that was free, worked or looked good so I went to work developing Marquee4U. This is the end results! You can customize Marquee4U to your website's demanding look and feel using any or all of the module options Marquee4U gives you...
General Settings
- Data from external source?: Here you will have four options, Custom Data Marquee, Text File Marquee, RSS Feed Marquee & Joomla Category Marquee;
- External URL: Type in the URL path to an external TEXT file (Please note: if your text file is located within your Joomla! install do not include http://, https://, or your domain name. Just type in the 'filename.extension' and include any subfolder where your text file resides. On the other hand, if the text file resides on another domain, you need to include http://, https://, the domain name and any additional subfolders.) or RSS Feed to scroll (the same pathing rules apply with RSS Feeds as with using text files).
- RSS Display Options: Select how you wish to render your RSS Feed.
- Number of RSS Feeds: Type in how many RSS Feeds you wish to scroll.
- Character count: Type in how many characters to display from the external TEXT file or RSS Feed Article. NOTE: To show all, type in a number high enough to scroll the entire data string.
- Joomla Category Marquee: Once selected configure your general Marquee4U settings. You will also need to click onto the Category Settings tab to assign your specific Joomla category(s) and set the balance of options to your needs. Please note: This category feature is using modified code of the native Joomla Newsfeed module. This makes using and setting category options very easy!
