Thanks for your swift response, and correction of where the post should have been,
Below the line below is what I have done to each file (part of phpbb3 ) and the database table creation, I hope this is the correct information requested.
You can see that it works on this page http://www.nethertonjfc.com/test/ Just the lack of a decent amount of characters is stopping it being useful lol.
//MYSQL
INSERT INTO njfc_phpbb3_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES('scores_ticker', 'This is the Results and Scores Ticker.');
INSERT INTO njfc_phpbb3_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES('forum_color', 'FFFFFF');
//includes/acp/acp_board.php
//Scores Ticker Mod
'scores_ticker' => array('lang' => 'SCORES_TICKER', 'validate' => 'string', 'type' => 'text:25:100', 'explain' => false),
'forum_color' => array('lang' => 'FORUM_COLOR', 'validate' => 'string', 'type' => 'text:6:6', 'explain' => false),
//End Scores Ticker Mod
//includes/functions.php
// Scores Ticker Mod
'SCORES_TICKER' => $config['scores_ticker'],
'FORUM_COLOR' => $config['forum_color'],
//End Scores Ticker Mod
//language/en/common.php
'SCORES_TICKER' => 'Scores Ticker',
'FORUM_COLOR' => 'Scores Ticker Color (Hex)',
//HTML for page ticker is going on
