I would just like to have a text marching across a block informing about vacation closures and the like. Thanks
Basic HTML has something called "marquee" for scrolling text. For something this simple, you could easily toss HTML with marquee code into a block. Google has a few "marquee generators".
Example: http://www.htmlmarquee.com http://www.htmlmarquee.com/

Thanks. I have tried marquee before but it is not universally well supported in the browser world. http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements/marquee

Something like the "Latest" ticker on http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ can be realized with https://drupal.org/project/views_slideshow/. I prefer this over marquee because constantly moving things on websites can be quite annoying to some people.
If you need new news to come in without reloading the page, have a look at https://drupal.org/project/block_refresh

Nancy when creating a views ticker does one have to create a piece of content and then a view or just a field and then a view?

It's really frustrating. There are absolutely no instructions on how to set it up. I'd be willing to write them if someone could tell me what I need to do to get this Views Ticker running.

Hi Anthony, I've never used views_ticker before, but at the top of the page it says this "This module provides new styles for Views module to display news tickers."
I would imagine you create a new view containing the title field (set mode to fields, not teasers), set the filter to the type of nodes you want it to display, then set the format to the ticker style provided by the module.
I hope it helps.
Thanks, Patrick

I just created some content, selected it with Views and used the Ticker as the style. It was very simple - trust me, I'm blonde.

Go to http://drupal.org/node/260090 -- the instructions you need are in comment #15 (works for D7 also, at least it did for me a year ago.)
Here are some other notes from that time that may or may not help

Thanks Warren and Nancy and Patrick. I think I have the views part down (sort of) I am just not sure about what sort of content I have to create. Because the field I want is not appearing in the view as a choice. So I don't understand that part. I just want a simple message saying "we are closed on July 4th" as a BBC ticker. Create a block or an article or a page...????? I did manage to see a view I created working but it was ticking the title of the views block. So the words delete, edit etc were ticking when I was logged on. Apparently the title of the views block.
Thanks Tony
