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..

NB: The demo is no longer available - IRCZONE's telepost link links to javascript void.

Is anyone running this where I might see it?
Is it compatible with 2.2.6

Regards,

Doesn't this type of ticker put the whole load back on the srever again? I rather liked the concept of a CRON job performing the database "heavy-lifting" every five minutes instead of each client.

Did I miss something obvious? Did someone post the actual file that gets executed for the CRON job?

Thanks!

Private forums are still showing up in the ticker.
