News Ticker for Wordpress

@Release notes

We have released our News Ticker plugin for Wordpress. We have built it for our new site, but we thought it would be great to show our appreciation to the Wordpress community by releasing it into the wild.

News Ticker is a JQuery based Wordpress plugin, which displays a sliding or fading list of your posts, rss feeds or comments and links back to them. By enabling the Images feature you can transform the News ticker into a featured post gallery with a single click.

What you can do with it?

• Display your Most Popular Posts over a chosen range of  days.
• Display your Most Commented Posts
• Simply add your most Recent Posts
• Or Recent Comments
• You can even choose some Specific Posts to display
• Use the Category Filter to display post from a chosen category or any number of categories
• Use your default RSS feeds or even and external RSS feed, from any other site. You can use Twitter RSS too.
• Display your attached images.
• Display the custom excerpt, text and links etc.

To better control your News Ticker you can:

• Set any Number of Posts to display
• Or set the Ticker Length in characters so the ticker would fit your Wordpress theme.

Thanks to the wonderful  JQuery library  you can also set the following parameters for your News Ticker:

• Ticker Speed
• Ticker Timeout which is the time between the fades or slides
• And of course the Ticker Animation to allow to to show your news or posts as inter-fading  or sliding animation

You can grab your copy of the News Ticker HERE and of course tell us how we can improve it even further.

   Animations are not working. Only a fixed no. of posts are displayed(that I specify). No fading effect … nothing….. Why this is so?

   Great plugin! I’m already using it and it works perfect. Only doubt I have is where is the plugin taking the date from? I’ve changed my locale file so it shows dates in spanish, all of wordpress dates now appear in spanish except for the date in the plugin. Do you have any idea on how to fix this? Are you using the date from the server or something like that?

   Hi there, I’m having problems with the ticker on my site. It just cycles from the first to the second story and then stops. Any ideas?
