Title: Request that the news ticker link to a list of all news stories
Post by: Phantom Hoover on February 27, 2014, 12:58:12 pm

It's very frustrating to only be able to see them piecemeal and randomly.

All it needs is a 'NEXT' button. But this is also another reason why it would be ideal for the ticker to grab posts from a forum similar to Highlights.. so people can go there and see them.

The default news ticker for SMF is pretty limited. You have to enter discrete news items and there's nearly nothing with regards to customization.

It'd be cool to have a plugin that would take certain posts in a forum or post. But we need to find the plugin and integrate it so it won't kill HLP...

In the meantime I've started a dedicated news ticker thread and any Admins or GM's can try their best to keep track of what's up there for easy reference.

I realise SMF probably doesn't allow this, but this is a cool idea (I was going to suggest it myself until I before I found this thread)
