   Nice one! How can I have it scrolling through the whole width of the page? on my site(www.mgft-c.nl) it only scrolls in the left column (widget area 1)..? (silly question? )

      Create a site-wide sidebar in your theme.

    I upgraded to version 0.7 and now the newsticker does not scroll or animate in any way. It simply displays all of the items in an unstyled, unordered vertical list.

    Backup your options to a text file.
    Click the “reset to defaults” button, reload the page with scroller.
    Still no result?

    Hi, love the plugin, but an update today broke it.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home/../../../plugins/rp-news-ticker/rp-news-ticker-loader.php on line 92

       Please read a post just before your one, all is quite easy to fix.
       Please read release notes and updates notice first on how to fix.

    Hello,
    Your plugin demo shows a realy smooth movement. But I cannot activate it (in test site); it is a new install, not an upgrade. I get the same fatal error as Tim:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home/…/…/…/…/wp-content/plugins/rp-news-ticker/rp-news-ticker-loader.php on line 92

    Should be nice if you could point me to a soution.

    As I have just discovered, the plugin will not work correctly with php less than 5.3. The next plugin release will be php 5+ compatible.

    This is a great plugin, it does just what it needs to do.

    I’ve noticed that when it reaches the end of the news items, it just stops showing them. Is it possible to have the news items automatically repeat as soon as the last one is shown, so it is non-stop, with no gaps?

    1. Alec 29/12/2011 at 21:54

       It is non-stop, just wait for more time.

       I think with css… edit the rule in css section something like

       ul.newsticker span {
display: none;
}

       Hope this helps… use creative approach otherwise 🙂

    I would like to Add in BOLD Red, static far left LATEST |

    Can I do this easily?

    Also, on your demo one you have icons etc how do you do this.

    Great product

    Reply ↓
    1. Alec 08/03/2012 at 21:43

       Icons are added with a regular image tag in “Explicit Content”.

       To add LATEST, try using the new css selectors like :before (http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_before.asp); add it to the scroller UL tag (#rp-news-ticker).

    Hi – Thanks for the great work!

    I have implemented this OK but would like some custom changes, do you do customisation?

    I want it to read from a post category and then display the post title (in red) and then display each line in the post in white?

    Reply ↓
    1. Alec 20/04/2012 at 07:58

       You can achieve this in CSS section, no programming needed

          Thanks Alec,

          Sorry if this is a silly question, how do I get it to display from inside a post?

          I am trying to get the list here to have a coloured title (no problem) but then scroll the as well.

    Look at the right section of the options page, the instructions are there.

    Hi Sorry my reply didn’t display properly.

    I want to have a post (category x) the post is hidden but contains the data for the news ticker i.e.

    Post title – Friday 20th April
    Post Content –
    UL
    LI – LIVE Cricket DLF League, 11:00 – (FREEVIEW ITV 4)/LI
    LI – Cycling Tour de Turkey, 13:00 – (EUROSPORT)/LI
    LI – China Snooker Open Final, Steven Maguire V Peter Ebdon, 17:30 – (EUROSPORT)
    LI – LIVE BOXING – Timme Simmonds V Dayle Style, 20:00 (EUROSPORT)/LI
    LI – WWE Wrestle Mania Tournament, 21:00 – (BTV COMEDY)/LI
    /UL

    I want news ticker to pick up the title as a span (no problem) but then also pick up the UL in the post itself and display the data from there so that a user can easily set a post for today’s fixtures.

       Looks like you are missing CSS. Reset to defaults in settings.

             Looks like some CSS rules override your newsticker settings, please check your theme css.

             Please do not post links in the comments.

    Hi Alec, I see that this issue might have been addressed already, but I’m not clear on the resolution. When I try to activate the plugin it gives me an error that says “plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    Can you please assist?

       1. use it in a sidebar widget
       2. use css settings of the plugin to tune elements appearance

    Hello, can you tell me exact the place where the code have to be inserted in functions.php and index or home.php , I need the exact line of my templete code and the exact rs newsticker code to be placed. I didn’t understand from your presentation the exact line of code where to be placed rs newsticker code. I am not very familiar with these code but I am willing to learn.

    Pls give me example for placing in functions.php as well on home or index.pho. I want to place this code at the top of the site not on sidebars. If I want to place at the top of the site should I add this code either in functions.php and index.php ? Or just in one of them.

    Is there any ways to place this code at the top of the top site, I mean if you look on my site : http://www.bestnews.ro I want to consider placing this code above the logo line and also condider placing bellow my categories. Pls give me concise examples with the exact code to be placed in the exact lines of my template code .

    Tks,

    Virgil
