Does NFS work in v.1.9.x?

Post by rab »

Anyone know if the NFS (scrolling News headlines) module works with the 1.9.x versions? If not, is there another way to do this?

Nothing comes up when "nfs" is input to Search, and the term "news scroll" provides some results, but the only relevant post looks to have been cut off.

Any help is much appreciated!

I can't say if it does or doesn't, but it's really easy to do this with out a module. Just make a summary template in news with the output you want. Then use a little jaascript to do the rotation.. I use a jQuery plugin called cycle which you can find here.. http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/

you can see a working example with news as "Testimonials" at http://www.digitalbarn.tv/

Hope this helps.. Cheers -Jeremy

+1 for the JQuery Cycle plugin. I also use this, very simple to set up, only a small amount of code. ;D

You can see another example on the frontpage of my homepage ->
