Is there a Scrolling News Module?

[davidhans]

Hi, I'm looking for a module that will scroll news stories slowly and continously across the full width of my website.There used to be a module called Newsflashscroller {NFS} but that does not seem to work any more. I've achieved the effect with {marquee} plugin, but only with quite a bit of tinkering, and the finished effect is a bit jerky (see http://www.tweedvalleyfruittrees.com/). I'm looking for an easy quick way to achieve this and a module would be great.

Thanks for answering so quickly Rolf. That looks good. Do you know if it can be used to create a scoller/ticker that is one line high, ie very wide, but aproximately 20px tall?

I did try another Jquery scroller (http://www.upservice.nl/blog/31/news-sc ... ry-ticker/) but it would not work on the same page as my jquery picture slideshow (showtime slideshow module). I think maybe there was a conflict in the javascript of some kind.

I'll give it a go. Thanks again.

I would also suggest trying this:

You can then simply create a custom Summary Template in your News module to output the headlines of articles, and use some JavaScript to make it look how you want.
