Ticker Widget

[jralph]

Does anyone know how a can add a ticket widget to a homepage. This would look like the News alert you see scrolling on a building in Time Square.

I want to add something like a stock ticket at the top of a homepage so that when there is a company wide alert that needs to go out, it can be displayed there.   Something like letting people know that email is down and being worked on.   Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

June

I don't think this is everything I wanted but it is good enough for now.   I have taken Yogesh's code and did some research on marquee html code. Then I took the New Ticker Service Portal Widget in Helsinki and modified it.   The best I could do though is get the block of active News KB's to scroll from right to left.   I also got it to stop on hover.   If someone could help me figure out how to make it scroll across, one linked News article at a time, I would have exactly what I was looking for.   Here is the widget. I hope it is helpful.

I also updated the Ticker Widget to do the same.   Except I was able to get each line to stop on hover individually.

Hi Gary,

following my below post, I tried to published alerts from table Kb_Knowledge .But I want to filter it out based on Topic as News. I tried putting condition in filter but not sure if I did something wrong.

What I did was to go to the KB list and filtered until I got what I wanted to see, then I right clicked at the end of the filter and copied query and then pasted in the Filter.   This is what I had as my filter topic=News^valid_to>=javascript:gs.daysAgoEnd(0)^workflow_state=published

This shows All news items that are published and have not passed their Valid To date.

Thanks Gary...I updated filter query and got results.

I have 2 catalogs on my home page Service Catalog & Support Catalog and requirement is:-

AC01 : Given a user is browsing the   Service Catalog pages When the user is looking at the horizontal space immediately below the breadcrumbs Then a "news ticker" widget will be displayed containing the live feed information for catalog items

AC02: Given a user is browsing the   Support Catalog pages When the user is looking at the horizontal space immediately below the breadcrumbs Then a "news ticker" widget will be displayed containing the live feed information for support news

AC03: Given a user is browsing the Homepage When the user is looking at the horizontal space below the navigation tiles Then a "news ticker" widget will be displayed containing the live feed information for both service and   support catalog item news from AC01 and AC02

My questions are:-

1. Do I need to use Kb_Knowledge table with topic as "News" to fetch the alerts and published on portal? I need to update category field to hv 2 more choices Service Catalog & Support Catalog.

2   Shall I create 2 new table one for each catalog type and have 2 instances of New Ticker with   table name   as newly created one?

which one will be ideal solution?
