Crossbrowser JavaScript Ticker

This ticker is based on the AVS Forum Ticker. Is is JavaScript based, hence should work on any modern browser (unlike marquee based tickers). Should work on any 2.x version.

You can see it in action at IRCZONE.CL (Click on the Telepost link under the Navegaci?n menu).

Hey! It's in Spanish! Not the version released in here. I took the time to have all strings on a config file so you can change/translate them at will.

Instalation should be drop and load, but there are some variables to configure if you'd like to change the look and feel. Just unzip the attached file on top of your vB root (no files will be changed, just a new directory "ticker" added).

Once again, thanx to the fine people of the AVS Forum.

@inetd: To exclude private forums edit this line in data.php:

$sql_query = "SELECT threadid, thread.forumid, thread.title, thread.replycount, thread.lastposter, postuserid, postusername, forum.title AS forumname FROM thread,forum where forum.forumid=thread.forumid ORDER BY thread.lastpost DESC LIMIT $maxcount";

before ORDER BY, ADD:

AND (thread.forumid!=X OR thread.forumid!=Y)

Replace X and Y with your private forum's ids..

I believe the query should be:

AND thread.forumid!=X AND thread.forumid!=Y

Anyone try this on vb3? We're running v3 Beta 7, and after changing the config.php file to reflect the new path, it seems to work pretty well except that it turns off and then will not turn back on again. I've looked over the code a few times, but can't tell how they indicate that the switch is off. Any clues?

After trying it on a few systems, it seems that if it isn't working on one system, it won't work on another either. *scratches head*

Well, it seems to work at times and not at others. It's random, but I'm sure something's behind it that I can't figure out.
