Default Making a news portal similar to espn.go.com
I would like to make a news portal with similar functions that http://espn.go.com/ has:
  • video player
  • tabs on blocks/cells
  • dynamically changing articles (from tab to tab)
  • different colours per block/cell
What software / add ons can make this possible?

All you need is vbdvanced (and you really don't even need that)... some ajax scripts (tabs, Sliding Content, etc).. then its just a matter of taking some time to program it to your liking. I have multiple dynamic ajax tab blocks (in various forms) as well as a custom ajax sliding content script (for news).. all is easy to do if you just think outside the box... check out dynamic drive for a ton of custom AJAX and DHTML scripts and then let your imagination take you on a ride

Thanks I am looking into your hacks and dynamic drive.

Does anyone know how to create a news ticker like http://eurosport.yahoo.com/ has?

We use the Frontpage Slideshow from JoomblaWorks. There is a vbulletin specific version. It's not a free modification, it costs about $33.00.

For the RSS news ticker we use CoffeeCup's RSS News Flash. Then I edited the header to include it in. Not too hard to setup.

I just found out that the Coffeecup harbours a major security risk.
Read this:
Is allow_url_fopen a security risk on php 2.2.6?

Yup. I must have been thinking about apache 2.2.6, while I meant php 5.2.5
The message stays the same.
