It's OK.
This mod was all made on hooks and you don't need to modify the source files

Try yourdomain.com/index.php?action=simpletickers
Thank you so much. That really should be mentioned somewhere.
Since, you can't use the mod, without the information, or perhaps I just missed something.

I was wondering about the same when I installed this mod, but got it right after trying different URLs.

tMicky

Is there a way of exporting these tickers to use on another forum?
That would be so nice.

like have it be .jpg, .png instead of .php, is this possible?

tMicky, this mod adds new button in main menu after installation. Do you have this button on your forum?



You can show or hide this button in mod settings area.



Is it work?

You can use these tickers on another forums with .php, it works.
And you can set redirect .php to .png in your .haccess file also.

Thank you for replying. The button didn't get added when I did the installation. So I had to use a menu mod to add it in.

I tried to post the image on another forum, and I got a - this image extension is not allowed, it has to be jpg, gif, png etc.

How do I do an image redirect?

I think you use old version of smf (2.0 RC3, RC4 or RC5) without hooks for menu so you don't have menu button "Tickers" after mod installation.

For redirect try to create file .htaccess  (without extension) in SimpleTickers folder and add strings


RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pa=([A-Za-z0-9]{4}).png img.php?pa=$1


Then you can use url on another forum like this

http://yourdomain.com/SimpleTickers/pa=YEH6.png

This url will be redirected to http://yourdomain.com/SimpleTickers/img.php?pa=YEH6

I could make a mistake in the regular expression, I have not tested this.
This rule will work if you check "short urls" option. If you uncheck this then you need to write another RewriteRule

It worked, thank you so much. Simple, effective and just what I have been looking for. Thanks  :)

I don't know if this is possible, or something to consider for the future.

But is there a way to have scenes and sliders as gifs.
And have the ticker count down, so instead of just days, it will state months, weeks, days, hour etc.


Vladimir Samoilov

Thank you for your advice.
I will try to do it in next version.

mgrmgr

Can someone please tell me what is supposed to be new in the update of Oct 15th? The latest files in that package are from Jun 28th (or so) which are the same when I downloaded the package in September.

* mgrmgr is confused :(

Vladimir Samoilov

I just added string to description

"After installation use menu button "Tickers" for access tickers page yourdomain.com/index.php?action=simpletickers"

I didn't change source files.

mgrmgr

Thanks for the explanation

* mgrmgr isn't confused any longer :)

New version of Simple Tickers http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3340

Changes:
- Now you can choose backgrounds, sliders and tickers settings on different pages
- Two events support
- Added font size settings
- Fonts names in English

I love this mod- well my members do

Is there anyway to fix the timing so that it reflects years also?
I set up 2 events (Nice addition, BTW) and one is a 3 yrs 11 months ahead of the other but because of the 11 months, it appears furthee down the line.

Maybe this is impossible- Ive never used tickers (and never saw them w/2 events in one)
Just thought Id ask
