OK.. do you want to display a News Ticker for all the RSS Feed or for a particular forum? category?

Download RSSTOHTML
Upload rss2html.php and FeedForAll_XMLParser.inc.php to the root (http://www.forum.com/) or (/public_html/).
DOUBLE CHECK, they should be in the root so they can be called like http://www.forum.com/rss2html.php
Create a new file called "vBMarquee.html", contents of the file are below..
Now try going to http://www.forum.com/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.forum.com/external.php?type=rss2&TEMPLATE=vBMarquee.html&MAXITEMS=10
OK its looking good but nothings moving and it looks a mess? Great
Go to AdminCP - > Style Manager - > FORUMHOME - > Add after headerinclude a PHP include or a SHTML Virtual include.
If your still lost try the code below

PHP Code:


			
<?php

/*

IN FORUMHOME CODE

*/

include("/root/path/to/copy/paste/from/cpanel/public_html/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=[B]http://www.forum.com/external.php?type=rss2[/B]&TEMPLATE=[B]vBMarquee.html[/B]&MAXITEMS=10");



echo "";



// Note use a include rather than require



?>

vBMarquee.html source:

HTML Code:

<HTML>
    <HEAD>
        <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
        <TITLE>
            ~~~FeedTitle~~~ vBulletin News Ticker using RSSTOHTML
        </TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
		<!--
        <H1>~~~FeedTitle~~~</H1>
        <H2>~~~FeedDescription~~~</H2>
		<MARQUEE>
		//-->
            <MARQUEE>
				~~~BeginItemsRecord~~~ ~~~ItemPubShortDate~~~ > ~~~ItemPubShortTime~~~ ><B><A href="~~~ItemLink~~~">~~~ItemTitle~~~</A></B> (~~~ItemDescription~~~) ~~~EndItemsRecord~~~
			</MARQUEE>
		<!--
		</MARQUEE>
        <H1>~~~FeedTitle~~~</H1>
        <H2>~~~FeedDescription~~~</H2>
		//-->
    </BODY>
</HTML>

This was just at the top of my head..please tell us if its OK.
