Issue Summary
Is there the ability to run newsticker with a rss source feed from internet?
Thx

Not at the moment, but that seems like a nice idea. I imagine it would be best to integrate with the core Aggregator, and then make a a given block be a ticker. For that matter, could be setup so that any block could function as a ticker. I'll keep this on the list and, in the mean time, any patches are welcome!

Thanks to bartezzini's post here, I finally figured out why the ticker didn't work for me. When I think about newsticker, I assumed it's grabbed from a news rss feed and I stared at that one xml link I entered and it didn't move. When I added the second link, that's when I see the ticker scrolling. LouBabe, thank you for making a module that's so easy to use, but I would really appreciate it if you can somehow do something like the feed2js. That would be great!
Also, I am wondering if there is another way to scroll the links where the first link would follow the last link as it loops, so we don't see the whole list scroll over back to the first one. Ex: "first -> second -> last -> first" rather than "first -> second -> last (scroll to the front) -> first"
Another problem I have is, if I have more than 2 links listed, the links start to pair up. Like there are always only two list items scrolling. The more links I add, the more links show up together at once. Please advise.
Thanks,
Crystal
