      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…

              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!!!

                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

                      @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…
