How to use(help please)

me too it does not work for me, i'm not really a newbie that much but i don't know if other things are required to use this module like should i install the serialscroll plugin? but that's not mentioned in the README.txt it only says "Download the Newsticker release for your version. Untar it in the modules directory. Activate the module through drupals administrative interface." and that's what i did, and when i add news they appear under each other and they don't move or do anything, just normal titles like this:
title 1 of the first news
title 2 of the second news
title 3 of the 3rd news
any ideas? this module seems cool and i would like it to work.
thanks.

I have the same problem too. This might be a bug report rather than a support request...
Either some documentation needs fixing or the module isn't working, not sure...
Shame! Looked really handy!

The documentation says
"Note: as of version 6.x, the module uses the serialscroll plugin (http://plugins.jquery.com/project/SerialScroll) rather than JCycle. This change was made for better accessibility and performance."

Good luck

@kukina This module was really handy, in 5.x at least. After transitioning to 6.x, this problem occurs, so I second this as a bug report. It must be something to do with the serialscroll jQuery plugin, because it worked fine before it.

@e-roula and profjk SerialScroll comes with the module. (jquery.serialScroll.js in the module folder)

Hi all - Sorry for the trouble with the new release. The latest dev release has some default CSS to structure a basic ticker. I only tested it using Garland, in left or right side bars, in Firefox and Safari. A more robust release is still needed, which I will work on in short order. Patches or suggestions also welcome.

When can we expect the new release around? The newsticker occupies a prominent place on one of my sites.

try as i might, i cant get this one to work... spent about half a day on it and its just broken in some hard-to-figure-out way.

Also, the readme.txt is out of date...

what i've tried to get this to work:

Doesnt work at all, just lists static text links.

dev version doesnt work either.

I'm having the same issues. Static text displays. If you say that it needs specific CSS to work, why not include an example? Do I need a specific tag or something?

Awesomeness! In the 6.x dev release there is a file called newsticker.css.css remove the extra .css and it works fine.

/* newsticker.css */

#newsticker{
  overflow:hidden;
}
#newsticker ul{
  margin:0;
  padding:0;
}
li.newsticker-item{
  float:left;
  list-style:none;
  margin:0;
  padding:0;
  background:none;
}

Nathaniel, thanks for catching that, aren't I embarrassed ;) Fix is now committed in the dev branch.
