News ticker module

Hi, been googling for a while now and cant seem to find anything.
Looking for a “News ticker” module. Something a bit more fancy than the stock news module.
Sliding in or ticking, either or. Both would be very nice looking.
Saw that @cowboysdude had a working one wich was very nice. But maybe someone have something they would like to share? Would be very much appreciated!

you could probably add a marquee script to the current newsfeed code…

Hmm, clever. Will look into that. have you tried something like it?

I have been working with this for 3 hours! I can’t get it to marquee using any type of code, I’ve tried several!!!

@justjim1220

As per your request through PM, here is an example of how to use one marquee effect

ok wait, it’s not displaying what I’ve entered. I’ll take a picture

Click on the picture and then click on the picture again in the new window so you can see it large enough. You can use this entire tag in your module.js file if you like. Simply replace WWI.currently.summary with the path to your data

There’s a config in the config.example inside the zip file… enjoy.

[BUT make sure you dir is named MMM-Ticknews and not mmm-ticknews ;)]

@mykle1 Thanks, but the PM was regarding a completely different task, One that I’m trying actually create.

A playlist shuffle and random for YouTube … :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Youtube is a tough nut … I have a youtube module but it’s not random it shows a playlist and rotates through it…
