can use this for custom news? instead of fox new?

[Taurus1]

Will this work for 3.8.5?

EDIT: OK, it works, but for some reason it places the ticker on top of the header that says Fox News reader. Can you please help me to change this?

[gwerzal]

So this pulls news from fox and not the forum ye?

Each news agency has their own style news ticker. This one happens to be for Fox News only.

Will this work for 3.8.5?

I have not tested this on vB3.8.x as I do not have version 3.8.x anymore. And since I do not have 3.8.x to test it on, I can not help you with it. Sorry

So this pulls news from fox and not the forum ye?

Correct.

I will have a look at CNN to see if they use a ticker and if so, I will make a separate mod for it. The Fox News ticker gets information from their entire site. There is no way to alter it unless they alter it first.

This mod adds a CMPS module on your vBadvanced portal page. I have a demo here: Global Gamers (http://www.global-gamers.net)

I'll have to pass on the right wing ticker but I would consider an msnbc one! :)

This isn't really a mod. You are just using the ticker code from fox in a VBadvanced module.

fox news of all news

can use this for custom news? instead of fox new?Yes, actually. I just decided to try it out and found out that the code is easily changed for any other widget that you can get from anyone else. For those who have asked, I haven't seen a widget from CNN or MSNBC/NBC News, but I admit I didn't really look all that hard, either. Just for kicks, I made one using Feedzilla (http://www.feedzilla.com/), which will construct all sorts of widgets for you from a series of drop-down menus.

Once you get the widget code, just copy it and past it into this code. Find :

</module>
-<templates>
-<adv_portal_XXXX (where XXXX=your file name (just pick one))>
<![CDATA[

and paste your widget code, which will start with "<div class." At the end of your code will be "</div>," which you just make sure is pasted in before "]]>." Change the file name and the title fields to what you want, and you're all set to go.

Any chance to have this work with RSS feeds?

Then each user can select their own feed to be displayed in the ticker...

Many thanks:up:

Is there anyway for it to just come on automatically instead of pressing that play button :up:

Mine does come on automatically. There is no play button on mine. There is only an "Embed" button on the right. See the attachment.

You may have a mod that deals with flash in a way that makes all flash movies have a play button on them.
