    Embed alzazeera.net news ticker in Umbraco.

    Questions about runway and modules

    I have installed Umbraco 4.6.1 with business starter kit. 

    I want to embed alzazeera.net main news ticker in the master page, how ?

    If not possible, any alternative to embed any kind of scroling news in the main page ?

    Any option / suggestion will be appreciated.

    Hi tarekahf

    How does the newsticker look like? Is it an iframe option or do they have a RSS feed?

    I didn't  examine the source of aljazeera.net website yet but I will do that soon. Maybe you can help by opening the website then  goto english UI annd check it out.

    The reason I am asking your help to do that, because with your experience you may find out a solution depending what you see available.

    I am also thinking to contact their support.

    Thanks for your help.

    Tarek.

    Hi Lee,

    Sorry, spelling mistake. I was posting from my DROID2 device.

    The website is: http://aljazeera.net/

    I just noticed that the New Ticker is only in Arabic. The English website structure is completely different. But, at the bottom I found that there is RSS feed which I could use to add it to iGoogle. I think there was RSS Reader in the basic Umbraco Runway installation which I will try.

    But, I like to know if I can add the News Ticker which is in Arabic UI (Scrolling Text) near the top.

    Or, can I use the RSS Feed to create a scrolling news (News Ticker) in my Umbraco website ?

    Or, do you know any other News website that has news Ticker (maybe form BBC) that I can reuse in Umbraco?

    Tarek.

    I tried to use the New Ticker as per the instructions from:

     
     
    to display New Ticker from Al Jazeera RSS:
     
     
     
    But nothing is working for me.
     
    I used this code:
     
    <script type="text/javascript">
     $(function () {
    $('#js-news').ticker({
       speed: 0.10,
       htmlFeed: false,
       ajaxFeed: true,
       feedUrl: 'http://english.aljazeera.net/Services/Rss/?PostingId=2007731105943979989',
       fadeInSpeed: 600,
       titleText: 'Latest News'
      });
     });
    </script>
     
    I tried other parameter settings, but nothing is working.
     
    The Ticker is working fine if I use HTML Feed, but how I can make it work for RSS Feed ?
     
    Appreciate your help.

    I found Google News Show Wizards and it works like a charm, and it has everything I can think of and more.

    But it is not a Ticker Style. That is fine.

    If any one can help me get a Ticker Style News using RSS Feed, I will appreciate it.

    Tarek.
