Hi, I’ve successfully installed the ticker, but for some reason the play/pause/previous buttons aren’t showing up. I appear to have them in the right folder, but no show. Any thoughts?

Ticker is here http://www.smoothjazzevents.co.uk

Hi jimikuk,

It looks like you’re just missing a forward slash at the start of the background image URL. So it should be /dark/pause.png, instead of dark/pause.png.

Have now done so. Have to say, it’s not immediately obvious how to.

I like the way that the BOLD & COLOR HTML tags get implemented as they are revealed. I expect that it’s by accident rather than design but it helps get them noticed IMO.

Great ticker. just had a question I tried “openlinksInNewWindow: true” to open RSS feed links in a new window but it is still opening on same window. Any thoughts on how I can have the links open in new window? thanks.

Update: never mind I figured it out. Added target=”_blank” in feedFormat. Once again i’m loving your ticker thanks.

Excellent, glad you figured it out!

Nice news ticker. Got a question: I am using multiple news feed sources and would like to show attribution to the source after each news item, since the source varies. I see you can show the author for each item link/title. But how do I show the channel title for attribution, for example: “NYT > Fitness & Nutrition” for the New York Times Fitness & Nutrition RSS feed, after each item in the feed? Thank you for your reply!

Hi beetle77,

Unfortunately that’s not really possible at this stage I’m afraid, as each feed uses the same feedFormat setting. I’ll have a think about the best way of introducing some additional control to this, as I can see that being useful.

HI, I bought your ticker and its great, apart from the fact that it goes right across my page, how can i make it fit with the main body of the site (it’s at the bottom) Thanks http://velocityphysio.co.uk/

Hi TattooYou,

There are a couple issues.

The problem with the width is due to the fact that the HTML element that the news ticker is inside of (a div with class tickey ) does not have an explicit width set. You need to give it an explicit width, because the news ticker is set to be 100% of the width of its containing element (which currently means it ends up being the full width of the browser). Try adding this to your stylesheet:
.tickey {
   width: 940px;
   padding: 0 20px;
   margin: 0 auto;
}

Cheers, Eric

I got the ticker to work from copying your sample but when I try the title it errors out and is all over the place… Also I would like to pull in just a list of over 3,00 + names…is that possible with the long slow down or can it be an external feed like xml?

Hi duvallb,

I saw your email and have just replied.

It works thanks Eric…what about the large list issue?

Studio164a

Hi duvallb,

Sorry for not getting back to you about the size of the list. The size shouldn’t be a problem, though the list has to be in the format of an RSS feed to be readable by jNewsticker. This looks like a good guide to creating an RSS feed:

Hi Dose this support news from right to left? Thanks

Studio164a

Hi cinema4d,

I’m afraid not. It’s been requested, and I’m planning to integrate it at some point, but no ETA as yet.

Hi, Planning to buy the plugin but would like to confirm how easy it is to remove the left and right parts (buttons). I’m only interested in plain text scrolling. Thanks

Studio164a

Hi Grek,

It’s very easy. Just set showControls: false when calling the function.

dial3lo Purchased

could you give some example code with twitter ticker? cant figure it out how to do it..

Studio164a

Hi dial3lo,

Sure, here is an example from the demo site:

$('#newsticker').newsticker( {
              'style'         : 'scroll',
              'tickerTitle'   : 'Tweets',
              'twitter'       : 'Studio164a',
              'excerptLength' : 50,
              'pauseOnHover'  : true,
              'autoStart'     : true,              
              'showControls'  : true,
              'fadeOutspeed'  : 'slow',
              'fadeInSpeed'   : 'slow',
              'transitionSpeed' : 4000
          });

There is more information available in the documentation, which covers all the settings that are available for you to use.

We’ve implemented Google Reader w/jNewsticker. Do you have plans to update jNewsticker for the death of Google Reader? I know you’ve done twitter, how about feedly.com, or some other were feed resource? Suggestions on preparing for death of Google Reader?

Studio164a

Hi efpeters,

I haven’t really planned anything for that. I assume you’re implementing Google Reader through an RSS feed? If so, I guess you should be able to do the same with feedly.com or any other feed resource, provided they provide an RSS feed—any RSS feed will do there.

Cheers, Eric
