I would expect a news ticker to take the titles from existing articles, with this you have to manually enter the news items to be displayed.

this is great extension and and serves its purpose.the best thing is that it supports the HTML content to be kept in it.worked like a charm.I use his for displaying my latest updates in the site.anyhow thanks for the author for this extension.

a simple yet beautiful module which works straight out of the box.

this is a modern way to display news & updates, and is much sleeker than your usual scrolling ticker.. i love it!

thank you for such a great mod :)

This fits a gap if you want to link easily to non-content links. so here you can link to components, externlinking, etc. you can style easily since html is accepted. No creation of an article needed to link - beautiful.

This certainly is something most of the other tickers lack, even better its from a trusted source like shap5.

Thanks guys, this is what i was looking for after discovering that other tickers do not fill this need.

It did just want I wanted. I was able to input custom messages to keep my customers informed of important events. So much nicer than a 1970's style ticker tape display.

One extra thing I would like to see would be the ability to customise the text, i.e. font, style and colour on a line by line basis but even without that it is great!

This mod is not for you if your looking for one to advertise your content...

I needed a way to display -MY- messages. It is perfect for that. You get 10 separate messages to roll through, can adjust the speed between fades, the length of time before switching messages, can use html in the messages, can choose which position it shows in... This is great for the hands on web-op who has a need to change / send specific messages.

For the creative, you can use this to have 10 fading/rotating ads in a module, and all you need to know is the html language to put in the areas.

Sweet mod. Thanks a ton.

hey...
this is really simple and cool mod.
i was badly needing it.. and found today.. and got worked in few min... thanks guyz.

only one request. plz provide option for creating more than 10 news.

other than that its really useful.

This module does exactly as described.

To the review of mike123acc I have to say that he obviously expected this module to be something it isn't and as such his review is incorrect, he should have read the description before writing it.

Rudolfe was obviously looking for a similar product as mike123acc but understood this wasn't what he needed.

What I could use as an extra is a component interface where i can enter the parameters and lines of text so it is easier for managers to change the data. For now this module will do for me.

Don't waste time downloading and testing this unless you are happy manually entering the content it displays. It is not a News module in the Joomla sense. It does not use your existing content or articles. I wasted 5 minutes with this, maybe you won't have to.

This module only scrolls up to 10 items of text that you have to manually enter. It does not scroll article contents based on sections or categories. Why that is, I have no idea. The scrolling itself works beautifully, just wish it took it's content from my article database.

This module works well with shape5 free template 1.5.5
At first I thought I had to give over my credit details to acess this extension, but when I went back and read the site instruction carefully, and clicked on the right radio button, I was signed up in a flash without departing with credit card details.
I had this module downloaded and working in less than five mins
Thanks guys for your effort
