I need a news ticker for a non-profit org. that includes the following features:
- Allows visitors to add a news item (and a link optional) that must be accepted by the admin.
- Admin section that allows admin to add/accept/delete/modify news items and hyperlinks.
- Admin can adjust width/height/background color of ticker, and font-size and color of fonts (including "rollover" color for linked items)
- Admin can choose whether tickers scroll vertically (from bottom to top) or horizontally (from right to left).
- On rollover, ticker pauses, then resumes motion when mouse is not hovering over it anymore
- Admin may create more than one ticker, with one "MAIN" ticker (ie. a homepage ticker, that includes all items from other tickers).
- Admin can limit number of items included on a ticker (ie. 10 items, 20 items, etc.) and the ticker automatically discard the items when limit has been met - if limit is 10 items, and a user entered the 11th item, the oldest item in the ticker is automatically deleted.
- Admin can use a link wizard in the admin to plug items into pages using javascript.
- Tickers must update on their own on the page, so the admin doesn't need to change code on the page after every update to the script.
- SMOOTH scrolling.
An example of the ticker that I use right now that is a FAR cry from efficient can be located at [login to view URL]
