It displays, in a Joomla! site, other sources' rss with a sliding effect ( scrolling ).
It works just out the box, but you can set:
* speed (better, it's opposite: delay. An higher value slows the speed);
* sliding direction (upward, downward, leftward and rightward);
* line feed (number of lines in a step);
* charset.
You can show all feed in a module, but, also, you can make more than a copy of the module. Each of them can show different feed. Empy value or "0" (zero) in the Feed, field will show all the feed set in the RSSFeed component, but you can fill this field with one or more RSS' Ids (separated with commas)
The modules supports English language.

This is a useful component that is easy to use and works fine with most feeds. I have had trouble registering on the forum for support but it might be my lack of italian language skills. I have one problem now where special characters that are in the feed using & # 8 2 1 6 ; notation (without the spaces) are not translated to the appropriate characters (in this case a single left quote). The Joomla news feed components display them correctly. This won't spoil this component for you if your feeds do not contain characters like that so give it a try.
Two hints:
To add the Module Class Suffix field to this component for the ability to style it, add this line to the module XML file.
Also, I had trouble getting internal RSS feeds created from the Joomla site to display, so I added them to feedburner then added the feedburner links to News Feeds. It worked fine.

This module worked right "out-of-the-box", all I needed to do was tell it which newsfeed to use. I set up a JEvents RSS feed and it works perfectly. I really like the scrolling feature. Nice going guys!

Installed without any problems. Scrolls nicely. Takes multiple feeds and displays well. Installs in English although the site is in Italian.
Thanks for the great app!
