ticker

[cheech4487]

Hi!

I would like to put a ticker on the sight that scrolls the new posts like the one here http://www.harleyarena.net/avs.bmp . I tried vBulletin.org, and they could not help over there. Is there someone who could point me in the right direction. I have the html code for the ticker, I just don't understand how to make the new posts show up properly. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi cheech

From the looks of it they are just opening a new window of a specific size with the new posts contained therein. They probably have that contained in a table or div with an up/down button that permits scrolling.

Have you tried contacting their admin and asking?

Thank You diades for being the only one to respond. I had contacted them before posting here, and never heard anything back from them. I also went to vbulletin.org and there was a post about it, but it was old and out dated. Someone recently inquired about it but it ended up going nowhere. I really would like to learn how to do this, it is a really nice feature. Thank you for taking the time to respond diades! Have a good day!

Hi Cheech

From the looks of it they are a very large board and, as such, the admin probably have a fair amount of mail to wade through I knjow that our board is not nearly the same size and. although we try not to, we do miss some sometimes ourselves. I would give them another try via email to see what happens.

If that fails, you will need to foind how to:
a) open a window of the desired size
b) lay that window out the way that you want it
c) place controls in there to scroll the window on demand
d) find the peice of script that places the new posts and nake it available to that window (including any includes etc that it requires to allow that to occur.
