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.

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

- Options to control speed and duration of the effects

-  Play / Pause controls

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

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

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
