Hi, Is it possible to get data via AJAX? I mean no Twitter or related services but a PHP script generating the news and exposing them with JSON or similar. Thanks, Juan Martín.
Hi,
Yes, you can write a PHP script that generates data in an XML file, like a regular RSS or Atom feed, and supply the link to the ticker and the ticker will use Ajax to load the data and display it.

Is there a better way to get support for a bug? I wrote 2 weeks ago, and still have not received any replies. I used the “Email Creativetier” box on http://codecanyon.net/user/CreativeTier
Hi,
Sorry if I missed your email, I am looking through my list of emails now and will get back to you.
Regards.
I have found your message that was sent last week.
I replied to your message and will get back to you with more information once I look into the specifics of your report.
Regards.
Thank you.
can the text be linked to website?
Yes, the text can contain links.

Hi!
Is the ticker compatible with jQuery 2.0.2?
Thanks in advance.
Yes. The ticker has been using and uses the 1.x version line of jQuery but it is also compatible with the 2.x version.
Regards.
Hello,
I’ve implemented the ticker with an rss feed. The problem is with the Scroll mode there is only 1 Entry. With all other modes there are the 5 entries that are declared in the script.
Is this a Bug?
I have tested the files on my end and everything works ok with the RSS feed and scroll animation.
It may be something on your end.
Can you give me a link to where I can see your implementation and take a look over it and give you feedback ?
You can send me the link either by using the contact email provided or going to my profile page and sending me a private message, if you don’t want to post the link here, in a public place.
Regards.
Hi CreativeTier,
at this moment i don’t have a link that i can send you, because in this case it is an App in SharePoint 2013 where i use this JQuery functionality.
I will send you a link as soon as this app is published.
Thank you.
Best Regards.
You can try making a test with the ticker in an HTML page to see of the same problem occurs. This way you can try to see if the problem occurs everywhere or only in your SharePoint file.
Also, the ticker comes with an implemented example of loading an RSS feed in scroll mode. Is the example supplied in the “rss-atom.html” file working ok ?
Regards.
The rss-atom.html is working excellent! i found the error. In the li classes there was an class added named “mt-hide”. Why is this so?
Thanks for your Reply. Best Regards.
I don’t know exactly what is on your end without looking over the files and over the code but the class “mt-hide” is used by the other effects so that when one news item is displayed, the others are hidden, since the other effects only display one news item at a time. But this is not the case for the scroll effect, where all news items are displayed simultaneously.

A new update has been implemented:
- Made an update to the Twitter feed functionality to work with the 1.1 update of the Twitter API.
Regards.
Is there any way combine this with a fader so that it has one feed and then fades or slides to another? I’m thinking News, Entertainment News, Sports News, etc.
I am not exactly sure how you envision it but the ticker works like in the live demo. There is no functionality to have multiple categories and fade between them.
Regards.
I’d like for one feed to play for a period of time, say 60 seconds and then flip, fade or slide to another feed. I’m seeing a sports news feed to display for a time and then flip, fade or slide to an entertainment news feed. Could you embed the feed code into the slider code?
No, the ticker does not have that functionality implemented. As for embedding the ticker into the slider, it will probably work but it may need some code changes for good functionality and efficiency. I would not recommend unless you know how to code JavaScript and make the potential modifications. I would recommend using a tool that was designed and developed with the functionality that you are looking for, rather than trying to piece together two pieces.
Regards.
The twitter functionality of this plugin stopped working for me recently (doesn’t load twitter feeds). I assumed this was because Twitter discontinued API 1 and is on 1.1 now. I downloaded the update for the plugin, but still can’t get the Twitter feed to work.
Otherwise, this has been a great plugin. Thanks!
Does the current version of Modern Ticker support Twitter API 1.1???
Hi,
I am working on an update and it will be available shortly. I will post a message here once the update is ready and available.
Regards.
Ok, good. Do you have any idea what the ETA will be?
Until the plugin is updated, I’ve found a workaround that might help some people get going with Twitter again.
Basically it involves creating an RSS feed of your tweets and using the simple rss feed feature of the Modern News Ticker to display them.
Go here for instructions on creating a Twitter RSS feed with API 1.1
The new update has been approved and is available for download.
The documentation explains everything that is needed to make the ticker work with the new 1.1 API but if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me, either here or on the contact email.
Regards.
I woud like purchase this script ,,,can I get the rss feed in it? how? thanks
The ticker has implemented an example with how to use RSS and everything is explained.
Regards.
Overall great script! There are two things I would like to see:
1) Responsive Design. I was able to create a workaround using CSS but a better solution would be to have the script responsive to begin with.
2) The Twitter API used is out-of-date. It now requires server side code and, while I do not use this with Twitter, I would like to see it updated for use with Twitter in the future.
Thanks for the great script!
1. I will be implementing responsive design in a future update to the ticker.
2. The Twitter feed works ok, I have just tested it.
Regards.
Hi,
A new update has been implemented with a fix for the Twitter feed to work with the new Twitter 1.1 API.

Is it possible to adjust the speed of the scrolling?
Yes, there are settings for each effect to control the speed.
Regards.
Thank you for the quick reply!
Thanks, it is funny because it is only slower at my computer. When I test it at another it works perfect 
Greetings
Hello, Can You answer my question? Why it slower in firefox than chrome in my case ?
It probably is a matter of browser performance. The ticker uses JavaScript for the animation and the performance depends on the browser JavaScript engine.
There shouldn’t be much difference in terms of performance between browsers since the ticker has little animation and requires little performance. Though the performance can be affected if there are other animation intensive elements on the page.
Regards.
How many words can you fit in a submit. Im looking to have this as a continuous scroll with user content. Can we add a feed to the content from XLS file?
There is no limit of words. The ticker has built in feeds for RSS, Atom and Twitter feeds, meaning that you supply the link to an RSS or Atom feed, or supply the name of a Twitter account and it will automatically load the data. There is no XLS support build it. You can either create a script that automatically changes the html code or transform the XLS to RSS.
Regards.
Such a usefull tool. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
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
Hi,
The ticker comes with an already implemented example without the buttons. All you have to do is copy and paste the code from the example.
Regards.
Hi Dose this support news from right to left? Thanks
Not at this time but it will do in the near future. You can send me an email at contact@creativetier.com and I will notify you with a quick email when the new update is up and running.
Regards.
I do have the same issue, after upgrading to new jquery the ticker does not scroll or resizes. Please advice
Ok, I am looking into the new jQuery and will get back to you.
Regards.
I have tested the ticker with the new jQuery and everything is working ok.
If you had a problem, it may have been something else, maybe you did not write the code well, or did not put the jQuery in the right place or something similar.
If you would like, I can look over your implementation and tell you what the problem is. You can either post a link here to where I can look over it or if you don’t want to put the link in a public place, you can send it over at contact@creativetier.com.
Regards.
Hello I have purchased this plugin when I use it with jquery-1.7.1.min.js it work pefectly but for our project we use jquery-1.9.1.min.js. a, when we use that js it wont work no transition occurred. : ( ys that??
Hi,
It is impossible to say for sure without looking over the implementation. Is the browser returning any error ?
If you don’t want to post private details here, you can send me the link to where I can take a look over the implementation at contact@creativetier.com and I will look over it.
Regards.
I have tested the ticker with the new jQuery and everything is working ok.
If you had a problem, it is probably something unrelated to the jQuery version. If you would like me to look over the implementation, please contact me either here or on the contact email and I will assist you.
