Populating Javascript values from CMS content

[Joff]

I'm using the news content and would like a Javascript ticker elsewhere on the site showing just the news headline, with a link to article.

There are several tickers on Dynamic Drive, but can anyone point me in the right direction for integrating it with CMS MS?

in my opnion, you should customize a mootools ticker, for example http://tekartist.org/labs/mootools/moostick/

the best thing about it is that you will just have to modify the js, not the code. Sure, you need to be familiar with mootools.

Try it!

I use one of those here

Thanks to both of you!

Alby, I should have said, it's a horizontal ticker I need, not vertical    Thanks anyway, I think it's the same one I've used on another project too!

For anyone interested, I went down the Mootools ticker route, adding the javascript call into the page with literal smarty tags.

Then, I created a second News template for the news module (called ticker or something), which returned all the news headlines as an unordered list.

Then the ticker code just works!

great Joff, share!

All in good time  

I'm just making sure the client is happy for the site to be posted on here.  Failing that, I'll set up a demo on another domain.
