i guys, i'm new, and i can't speak english very well...so...sorry.
Now go to the matter,
i need a block that display a type content, i will use this for my news.
I want to display all text of a content, and i need an effect like marquee, so scrolling.
The scrolling is intended scroll all the contents continuously, and when i go with the mouse on the block, the scroll will stop, in any position are the text.
I can't find a module to di this, for Drupal 6.x
i think that, probably, can be done an adaptation using the module last_node, that use the marquee exactly as i need, but display only the title of the content, and not all the text.
I hope you can understand what i meaning, and you can help me.
Thanks

Views + New Ticker
This is how I did it on my site.
1] Download and Install views.
http://drupal.org/project/views
2] Create a new view that creates a block and filters out everything but the content you want in the news marquee, select the fields you want to display
3] Download and install Views Ticker (http://drupal.org/project/views_ticker)
4] Change the view type of your newly created view to Tickers: Scroll or something like that.
If you don't have views installed, or you don't know how to use views, I would try and use Taxonomy Ticker(http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_ticker) first. I don't know if it can do what you want as I've never used it.
Good luck!
your solution are for drupal 5.x
Soluton you suggest are for Drupal 5.x, i use Drupal 6.x, so i can't try.
I found the TicketyBoo (http://drupal.org/project/ticketyboo) that is near my necessity, but have some problem.
The height of all item must be fixed, for example 100px, if my article is longer this will be cutted, without advise.
For example will be good, if after some words, is possible to add "..." and then cut the rest of article.
The article doesn't have the title, will be good to show the title for the article, and make this title a link to the full article.
Understand what i mean?
Can anyone help me?

1. Download http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/front-6.x-1.2.tar.gz
2. Open the file and copy to \modules
3. Login as administrator then go to >Administer>Site building>MODULES and look for "Front Page 6.x-1.2 Allows site admins setup custom front pages for the site." and too "PHP filter Allows embedded PHP code/snippets to be evaluated." Mark as Enabled.
4. Cick to: "save configuration" (bottom of the MODULES page) and save this new module.
5. Go to >Administer look in the section Site configuration>Advanced front page settings
Now is open a new page, here you find: Front page for anonymous user and Front page for Authenticated user.
6. If you want that all "Authenticated User, can see your custom Html code first you must select: Front Page for authenticated user, Select type "themed" Redirect to: "node" and mark as Enabled "Allow embedded PHP code in this front page"

i found my solution
tanks for your time.
I make a personal module for my content.
Starting from ticketboo i create a module for include the marquee.
Now i create a content type, and all content i create in this type go on the marquee block.
If you tell me where to share this module, i can pubblic in the module section of this site, i think is good, it can be improved, but now is already functional
Hye iron_master ...i just
Hye iron_master ...i just read what you have posted. Actually i have a problem in order to make my news scrolling to the top. It is quite similar with what you have done. I did try to follow the step that yotrinity's posted. Actually its working. The problem is it is scrolling from left to right. I also download the ticketyboo to make my news srolling up. But rather than just enable it, I dont know what should i do next. I am quite lost here. Actually I am new to drupal. I am using drupal 6.X. Is it possible for you to share with me the module that you have create for include the marquee. Anyway, thanks in advanced.
i need a little improvement for my module
sorry for this post, you can read here
Moderators can delete this post, thanks.
Hi Yotrinity, Just a quick
Hi Yotrinity,
Just a quick correction.
You don't copy the module folder to /modules. That's were the drupal system modules go.
You copy any additional modules to /sites/all/modules. If the folder doesn't exist you can create it.
This makes life MUCH easier when upgrading or migrating.
Matt
P.S. Also the tag isn't supported by most browsers so not recommended.
i need a little improvement for my module
Hy Guys, after few times i'm returning to work on my little modified module, called "News Scroller".
The module work fine, but there is a problem, it dispaly all the content of a node, type or taxonomy, all the content of the selected nodes.
So i don't know how to add the functionality for dispaly only the publishied content, is very important.
Probably someone can help me, here is the code of my "newsscroller.module":
Problem Solved!
Problem solved guys, thanks however for your time.
The above code need only a little edit in this part:
By adding this code:
AND status = 1 ORDER BY created DESCIn order to obtain this result:
Obviously you have to repeat this edit also for the
case 'taxonomy'in this way:This new code provide also the node dispalys by descending creation date, very good.
If you want, i'm ever ready to share all my module, very sample and easy/ready to use.
Bye
i'ld like to use that module
i'ld like to use that module & could u share me pls?

ScrollText used for display
ScrollText used for display text in scrolling mode (marquee). The text come from certain node titles! You can take a number of node titles from page or story or any node type.

Use Views Slideshow (the most powerfull and customizable tool!)
I suggest You to use Views Slideshow: http://drupal.org/project/views_slideshow (an add-on for Views module).
This module have two Plugin included that cover almost all situations about sliding, fading, moving, scrolling of contents, teasers, cck fields and so on...
The integration with Views gives You a complete control over the contents and possibilities to customize everything (in Views possibilities!).
It generate a valid markup w3c standard (no deprecated tag) and cross-browser JQuery libraries included!
Only one (little problem): the markup is not "semantic" (
I hope could be a good suggestion!
Bye!
