Be more specific. What does a news ticker do that RSS blocks don't already do (aside from automatically scrolling)?

Automatically scrolling actually, just under the header...

But what content? Your website's articles or some RSS feed? Or do you want to customize it?

Here's a MooTools javascript library based News Ticker. See it in action here, and download it here.
Perhaps it can be shaped to do what you're wanting.  Hope this helps! Eric Synergy - Stability - Style --- Visit us at glfusion.org |

On my test site, I've added that MooTools news ticker. It was really simple since I already had the framework installed for the theme I'm working on.
You create an unordered list, and give it the class="moostick" and it does the rest: PHP Formatted Code <script type="text/javascript" src="http://geiss.getmyip.com/gl141ctl/layout/nouveau/js/moostick.js"></script> <ul class="moostick"> <li>Simple Text in a list item</li> <li>A <a href="#">link</a> in a text item</li> <li><a href="#">A headline of a story or RSS</a></li> </ul> So, now the question becomes writing a function that will output an RSS feed that way. You could use a portal block, but the feed will have the class="list-feed". You can change that in Geeklog's lib-common.php. On line 3529 change: PHP Formatted Code $content = COM_makeList( $articles, 'list-feed' );to $content = COM_makeList( $articles, 'moostick' ); Save your changes, clear your browser cache, and make sure to clear your feed cache in the block editor.

Quote by: trampoline Thanks Geiss, Yes, it will affect them by making them all use the ticker, since the modification to lib-common.php spits out the RSS feeds with class="moostick" instead of class="list-feed". You could either add any CSS for .list-feed to .moostick in your style.css file if you are only worried about styling, or back out the above changes in lib-common.php and figure out a way to create a custom function to create an RSS feed and specifically give it a class="moostick" attribute.
