Newsticker

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

In another thread I asked about creating a Newsticker affect with a non moving title on the left. I want this in the Grid17 (Grid 5 template row) position.

Is there any way of doing this? The way it looks in the demo template would be fine.

Hi

Do you have the quickstart installed?

That way we can duplicate the module rather than create it from scratch

Sorry no. Is it possible to do it another way? Otherwise I'd need to install the QuickStart on another test domain and transfer the settings 1 at a time.

It isn't a problem - its just means we need to create the module rather than duplicating an existing one

font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
display: inline;
margin: 0;
text-align: center;
color: #0c2436;
background: none;
}


#grid17 .moduletable {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}


#grid17 .zen-module-title {
float: left;
width: auto;
margin: 0;
margin-right: 10px;
padding-left: 13px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 0;
text-align: left;
border: 0;
background: none;
}

#grid17 .zen-module-title h3 span {
background: none;
box-shadow: none;
}


#grid17 .zen-module-body {
float: left;
width: 85%;
padding-top: 3px;
}

#grid17 .zt-title * {
margin-top: 1px;
}

#grid17 .zt-title *, #grid17 .zt-date {
font-size: 12px;

It may be easier to install the quickstart to a local host rather than he detail the settings for the actual module itself

Do you have a local host set up?

Hi Jon,

I'm going to add a module class to the template so that you will be able to apply this across any area of the site.
Will update you shortly.

Thanks

Thinking about this Jon I think it's better to just make a newsticker layout for Zentools., Will give us more control in the long run. Will have this for tomorrow.

Okay so I'll wait until tomorrow before I do anything.

Don't forget I need a static 'title' on the left and the newsticker on the right.

Thanks guys.

Hi

Any news?

I currently have a simple version working on csbuildingservices.branchoutwebsites.com but it's two separate modules and they don't line up well.

If the Newsticker is taking a while, any chance of telling me how to change the height of the Grid5 row of modules? That might do it,

Thanks

I'll check where we are with this when Anthony is online after the weekend - will either be Sunday evening or Monday evening

Sorry for the delay

Hi Jon,
Apologies for the delay - the last template release delayed me getting to work on this. It will be added to zentools this week.

Thanks

Hi Jon,

I've attached a version here for you to test.

We need to run some more tests here but it all seems ok.

Will release after we have done so.

The new layout is called ticker. And you need to recreate the master css file after installing.

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by 'recreate the master CSS file'
