Hi,

I am pretty new to all this and Drupal. So far I have been doing pretty good at figuring stuff out on my own, but I am having some issues with this one.

Here is what I am trying to do.

I have a testimonials page which is a basic page. I update it with new testimonials when I get them. Now I want to take those testimonials and have them display in the ticker on the main page of my site I don't mind manually putting them into the ticker if I have too. Then I want the testimonials on the main page to link back to my testimonials page. But the issue I am having is since it is a basic page I am not sure how to get the content to show up in the ticker and link back to the testimonials page.

If anyone can give me some guidance and point me in the right direction I would really appreciate the help.

1. Create a content type, let us say 'testimonials'
2. Create some sample content for content type testimonials, with the subject of content as the titles that are to be shown in scrolling block. Note: Each testimonial is a post in itself in this method, but you could also use comments instead.
3. Create a view with fields and add node title to the fields, set filter as node type = 'testimonials'
4. Create a block, save view, add the block to your theme & see if you are getting the list of titles of testimonials in the block.
5. Edit view, change view type to views ticker, set the options.

If you need help on creating view, here is the documentation http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/views

Hi raghukr,

Thanks for the reply, I finally had time to sit down and follow your instructions and it works great now. I do have one question not sure if you will know or if it is even possible. But when the ticker brings in the title I would like to bold it and change the colour of it in the ticker. Is that possible to do I have gone through all the settings and havne't been able to figure it out. I have attached a picture of what I mean

thanks

esmm3,

You can do this by targeting the title in your theme css.
