Hello all!, hope you are doing good!.

Heres my situation: im very interested on implementing a newsticker into my website.

So far the one im interested in is this one:
codecanyon.net/item/jnewsticker-jquery-n...reen_preview/2137525

I think it is awesome that i even bought it ($7.00) it is not an actual JOOMLA MODULE but an HTML. It comes with instructions how to implement it to your site, but i cant get it work.

ACtually, i could get it to show regular MANUAL LINKS but i cant get it to show RSS feeds. I contacted its developer but he says he is not related to JOOMLA and that it should work if i knew how to put HTML coding into my website.


Im wondering if you guys can tell me if im missing something on its implementation on my website or if you can tell me how to add its code to my joomla website.

Script documentation:
www.mediafire.com/view/?bv7ujvsc2ipe48i

I even tried this free module, but cant get it to work either:
www.pc-sapiens.net/webdesign/super-scrol...-horizontal-249.html

Im using Joomla 1.7

Thanks for your time.

Hi Stivan,

I've been trying to access the instructions for that plugin to see if it would adapt, but I keep getting a message that the document is temporarily unavailable.

extensions.joomla.org/search?q=news+tickers

also check out scrollers extensions.joomla.org/search?q=news+scrollers

and newsfeed modules extensions.joomla.org/search?q=newsfeed

If I get through to that site I'll let you know. If you have any other questions in the meantime, just ask.

Cheers,
Ed

Hi Ivan,

First things first, let's get your Joomla version updated to Joomla 2.5.6. Your current one has many security issues and bugs that have been fixed in Joomla 2.5.6, so that may be the issue you're experiencing (i.e. a bug).

Please make a backup of your site then give the following tutorial a try:
www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/how-to-update-joomla-17-to-25/

Once you've updated, give it another try. If you still can't get it to work, let us know what you tried and provide a URL to your current result, and we'll help from there.

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi, well actually i had a hard time trying to update to 2.5.6 last time. I tried many methods and none of them worked. I just tried it again (manual copy all the directories), fixed the database schema and now my website is not working.

Blank HTML page, i see this error on the extensions Update section:

Failed loading XML file
/home/thalesse/public_html/templates/images/templateDetails.xml
XML: Unsupported version '1.1'
XML: failed to load external entity "/home/thalesse/public_html/templates/images/templateDetails.xml"

Please help. I didnt want to update to 2.5.6 but since you dont want to help me until i get to the 2.5.6 i did.

Fatal error: Call to a member function attributes() on a non-object in /home/thalesse/public_html/libraries/joomla/installer/adapters/template.php on line 55

Hi Ivan,

OK, I'll take a look now.

Would you open up another forum topic for the template issue, please? Thanks in advance.

Hi Ivan,

OK, it's fixed. So basically, the issue was that 3 languagaes were set as the default "home" languages. I unset two of them and the site came back up. Please double check your Russian and Spanish pages now.

I think that's something that changed from 1.7 to 2.5 in that only one language can be set as the home language.

By the way, I also updated your Joomla version to 2.5.6 and fixed the database issues.

Kind regards,
Nick

p.s. please update all your language packs to the latest versions. The Spanish one appears to have an issue fixed in the new version.

After updating the language packs, try re-setting the default Russian and Spanish menu items.

Hello! thanks so much for your help, i went ahead and updated the language packs from this site: community.joomla.org/translations/joomla-16-translations.html

I went to MENU and try to set 3 homepages as DEFAULT but i recieved error message that i cant do that. Also the language bar at the top of the website only shows ENGLISH flag.

Help please, how can i show the rest of the flags (languages available)?

Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind, i just fixed it following the guide from you guys about multilingual site on joomla 2.5

Thanks.. ill keep you posted..

Not working yet.

I did:
1. Created a new Module Position.
2. Created a new CUSTOM HTML MODULE.
3. Placed the following code into the CUSTOM HTML MODULE:
<div style="width: 1018px; padding-left: 2px;">
<ul id="newsticker_1" class="newsticker" />
<script>
(function($){
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#newsticker_1').newsticker({
'style' : 'scroll', // Use scroll animation
'showControls' : true, // Display pause, previous and next
buttons
'tickerTitle' : 'Latest news', // News ticker title text
'autoStart' : true, // Start animation automatically
'feeds' : 'http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/system/latest_published_content/rss.xml', // News items will
be pulled from the RSS feed
'feedItems' : 5, // 5 news items will be displayed
'feedFormat' : '<a href="%link%">%title%</a> posted on
%date%.', // Format that each news item will take
‘timeAgoFormat’ : function( date ) {
return $.fn.newsticker.methods.getTimeAgo( date );
}, // Implements $.fn.newsticker.methods.getTimeAgo()
‘dateFormat’ : function( date ) {
return $.fn.newsticker.methods.getFormattedDate( date );
}, // Implements $.fn.newsticker.methods.getFormattedDate()
'scrollSpeed' : 50, // Scrolling action speed is 150
milliseconds by default. Reduce it to make it faster; increase
it to make it slower.
'slideSpeed' : 1000, // When sliding between items using the
controls, slide takes 1 second.
'pauseOnHover' : true // Animation will be be paused when
hovering over the news ticker.
});
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
</div>

Nothing happens, thanks.

Hi Ivan,

Give the following tutorial a try:
www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/stop-joom...-stripping-out-code/

Then use the Custom HTML Advanced module:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-en...ode-in-modules/16359

That should get it working for you :)

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi thanks!, i did what you recommended and still it isnt working, at least now it shows the code on the page. I use Google Chrome INSPECT ELEMENT tool, the code wasnt shown on the website before, but now it is shown. I guess theres only one more thing that isnt right, in the procedure i uploaded before it says that if i want to show rss feed the <ul> should be empty.

Developer suggest this code
<ul id="newsticker_1" class="newsticker" />

But when i use the INSPECT ELEMENT tool it shows the following:

<ul class="newsticker" id="newsticker_1">
script......
</ul>

I also tried this code:
<ul class="newsticker" id="newsticker_1"> </ul>

But still it isnt working.

Any clue?

Hi Stivan,

If you paste this code into an ordinary html page that is not part of Joomla, does it work? I see you have tried it but it didn't work as you expected. Have you confirmed that the code works for sure?

Hi Ivan,

After placing the code within the module, double check to make sure that it's the same exact code after saving.

Also, try doing the manual links first then attempting the RSS links after that.

Let us know what your results are. I'll be here all day to help.

Kind regards,
Nick
