Hello K2 Community,

K2 News Ticker V2 is released. We have received numerous requests from Joomla/K2 users to enhance the News Ticker and bring in new features. Now the enhanced News Ticker supports a number of K2 features including the Extra Fields and Comments.

K2 News Ticker now requires Mootools 1.2. All the Joomla 1.5.20+ versions have Mootools upgrade plugin. Just turn this plugin on and install the News ticker module. Set up the width, height and fill in the remaining params. All the params are self-explanatory. In a few minutes, you can have beautiful news ticker running in your website.

Note: The module requires Mootools 1.2 to work. So you have to upgrade. Please test your Joomla installation with Mootools upgrade plugin before you buy this module.

Module Features
- Mootools 1.2 based

- Supports almost all K2 features including extra-fields and comments counter

- User can either fetch items from a category and fetch single items from K2

- Provides 14 different animations

- Options to control speed and duration of the effects

-  Play / Pause controls

- You can use this also as an image scroller

- MVC structure

- Compatible with IE 7+, Firefox, Chrome and all modern browsers and many more...

Thank you for the support guys... Do send your comments here or at the download page in my website.

Thanks

Nice Scroller
My readmore link shows, but the title and picture are not linkable, where is that setting?

Hi,

Does this plugin only work with K2Store or can it be used to pick up items other K2 categories? I'm planning to it to display latest news from a k2 category.

Thanks in advance
GD

Hi

No settings were given at the backend for this. I will give options to make the title and picture linkable in the next version.
If u wanted it now, u r welcome to edit the module's template file.

Thanks
Best Regards

Hi

it works for all K2 categories and items. you can use it K2 CCK without any issues. Just adjust the width and height, to get it right...

Integration with K2Store is only in the planning.

thanks

Thanks for the reply Ramesh.

I seem to be getting the following error on the front-end:
Notice: Undefined variable: slidelist in /var/www/........./modules/mod_k2newsticker/tmpl/default.php on line 40

and:

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$image in /var/www/......./modules/mod_k2newsticker/tmpl/default.php on line 93 - If the K2 item does have an image.

Also any chance of making the item title and image as links to full item when clicked?

Many Thank,
GD

Hi

Strange... as i am not getting the error. Any way,

Above the for loop, declare this variable.

in line 39, add this

$slidelist = '';

It will fix the issue.

Thanks

Hi

Just found this.

It is not an error. it is just a warning notice.

Just set the error reporting in Joomla to system default or none.

Thanks

Hi Ramesh,

Excellent work with this module and its very simple to install and config.

I have just one question if its possible ???

I have the module showing only on the home page and linked to a cat in K2, However when i click on the read more link the module still shows with the k2 item below, i know this is normal but is there any chance of modifying the code so that the item shows up without the newsticker module showing ?

I have created a new menu link for the cat that the list of items come from and would like the read more link to go to the menu link instead this way the module does not show up..... is this possible ?

Thanks again

cemmac

Hi

Can you provide the url of where you installed the module?

Let me check and help you fix it.

Thanks

Hi

It seems, in module settings, you set the module to Show on All Pages. Just select the home page alone to show it.

Or send an email to me with your backend access details. You can use the contact form here to send the email. weblogicxindia.in/contact-us.html

I will help you.

Thanks

Hi Ramesh,

Again thanks for the reply.

The ticker that i am refering to is using the position content-top and is set to show only on the home page, (its not set to show on all) with the header featured events. As its its such a good module I want to use it on the home-page for advertising.

If i set it to show only in the about us page (example only), and click on one of the read more links the item is shown correctly as in the php it is using the index or home page to show the item. In this case it works perfectly.

But if its set to be shown in the home-page (main index of the website) it will show the item but also the newsticker module as its set to show there.

Is it possible to modify the base url in the php script (helper.php) to change from the index url to another link (live music for example ?)

I hope that you better understand now my issue, i would not like to try and create this myself as i do not have the necessary php knowledge and it would take away from this excellent module.

I do hope that this is possible.

Best regards

Cemmac

Hi

Thanks for the detailed replied.

first, i would like you to understand this: This is NOT a module specific issue. It is an issue with the template and the menu set up.

If you could give me the backend access, i can help you out. Only then i will know your set up. So help me solve the issue.
