Ok, since you didn't specify how you wanted it (I asked in post 65), I figured a module might be a good approach.

Admincp => vBA CMPS => Default Settings => Main Options [Edit Settings]

Portal Output Global Variables vbnews_ticker

Admincp => vBA CMPS => Add Module

Main Options
Module Title Latest News
Active Yes

Template Module Options
Template to Include ticker
Template Content $vbnews_ticker

Module Wrapper Template Options
Use Module Wrapper Template No
Save
Specify where you want the location (order).
