Joomla Scrolling Text and Alert Module |
|
|
Please be advised that this is a Joomla 1.0.x module only. I have spent several hours recently, looking without success for a Joomla 1.0 module that would allow me to publish item's titles as a scrolling text.
Even though it's an easy task in static html, when it comes to Joomla and Joomla content items, it turned out to be a bit tricky. All of the Joomla modules I managed to find did more than I needed - from image slideshows, image scrolling scripts to ones that scrolled a whole content items through the site.

After examining the options, I rolled up my sleeves and spent another few hours developing a Joomla module that does exactly what I needed - a simple text scroller that publishes content item titles in a MARQUEE html tag: mod_scroller module. It enables the user to manually choose Joomla Section or Joomla Category
from which to publish the content, to select speed and the direction of
the scrolling and more. All the titles are linked to the appropriate
content and the scrolling stops when mouse is over the scrolling area.
I noticed on the forums that I'm not the only one looking for this type of functionality, so I'm uploading it to Joomla extensions directory, while hosting it here on OGO Sense site. Click here to download, and here to see a demo (external page: www.stmarysmaine.com). I hope it serves you well. My E-mail is published in the module, and I appreciate any bug reports. |
