OK here are the files. I had to make a couple of changes to the PHP file which I did not test, so please let me know via e-mail if you come across any errors.

P.S. Don't laugh at my PHP code! Until I wrote this I had never written a single line of PHP or SQL code. :)

Oh yeah, to open the ticker paste the following code into your document template...

Code:

<script language="javascript">

<!--

var tickerWindow = null;;





function openTicker(){

 if (document.layers || document.all || document.getElementById){

   var tt = 255;

   var tl = 177;

   if (screen.width){

     tt = (screen.height-130)/2;

     tl = (screen.width-445)/2;

   }

   if (tickerWindow == null || tickerWindow.closed)

     tickerWindow = window.open("/ticker/ticker.htm", "twindow", "toolbar=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,directories=0,resizable=0,height=100,width=434,top="+tt+",left="+tl);

 }

 else {

   alert ("We\'re sorry but the Latest Post Ticker only works in Netscape 4\+\, IE4\+ or a 100\% DOM\/CSS compliant browser.");

 }

}

//-->

</script>

then call if from a link like so...

<a href="#" onClick="openTicker()">Open Ticker</a>

Sorry, but servers aren't my area! David set that part up for the TiVo Community, so either he, or one of the other guys, will have to help you with that part.

Seeing that servers come in differnt flavors, please see your system admin or hosting provider in regards to run a cron job every 5 mins or whatever. (Don'y say you were not warned. :))

Well...This is how ours looks in cron...

Code:

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php -c /etc/php.ini.nocache /home/tivo-vb/ticker_new_js.php >/dev/null 2>&1

But as I said, thus can differ and other items by be needed for your server. We did say this was a custom type fuction remember. ;)
