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? On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 3:47 AM, Ms. Nancy Wichmann <nan_wich@bellsouth.net>wrote:

I have been looking for a newsticker a la http://pras.net.np/blogs/create-bbc-style-news-ticker-drupal but when one tries to download the code there are problems http://archive.plugins.jquery.com/index.php?q=project/BBCnewsTicker A quick search on drupal for newstickers brings up issues of confusion.

I would just like to have a text marching across a block informing about vacation closures and the like.

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. On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 2:04 PM, Anthony <tony@tony-mac.com> wrote:

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.   Nancy Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.

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 On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 2:58 PM, Warren Keuffel <wkeuffel@gmail.com> wrote:
