Scrolling Announcements Module for DotNetNuke
It has been sometime since I created this module. This module is an extension to the core DotNetNuke Announcements module, and is compatible with it. You can have both of them installed side-by-side.
It adds scrolling capability to your Announcements. You can scroll your Announcements in all directions:
- None (default)
- Right To Left
- Left To Right
- Top To Bottom
- Bottom To Top
In addition, you have some other nice features like configurable scroll speed, configurable scroll width & height.
You can change these options from within the Settings menu for the module. The module is compatible with DNN 4.x & DNN 5.x.
If you face any issue using this module, feel free to use the comment form below. You might also be interested in my other blog entry, ASP.NET Content Scroller control, that enables you to scroll any ASP.NET server-side or any Html content.
The installation package for this module is attached below.
UPDATE:
- Feb 8, 2010 - Uploaded latest Module version. Please download, and install the new version into DNN as usual.

Hi,
I've tested the module using multiple instances of the module on the same page. However it does not work correctly - it only shows the announcements in the second instance... If I delete the second instalce, it shows the announcements from the first instance
Thanks,
Catalin
It should not have been so. I have tested it, and multiple modules work on the page perfectly. Gimme some time. I will verify this again. By the way, which DNN version are you using??
Hi Catalin, pinned down the issue. The module package attached above was not the latest one. An earlier version of the module had the issue you pointed out.
Please download the latest version again, which has been updated above (you might need to clear your browser cache to ensure you download it again). And then, install it as usual into DNN. The module would upgrade its code and js.
Is it possible to display first 100 characters within the scroll from each announcement using current settings? Now it only displays [EDIT][TITLE] - [PUBLISHDATE] and [READMORE]
I use dnn 5.1.4
Thanks,
Catalin
Hi Catalin, its been some time since I worked on this module. Please check its Settings page. Although I do not recall putting in any such feature there, there might be one which has skipped my memory. If you do not find anything there, then the module does not support what you are saying.
