I found an easy way to make feed manager to show the scroller, but you have to change a bit of code. I use jquery as Joe suggests. The js and a detailed explanation of the code can be found here

http://maxvergelli.wordpress.com/2010/09/18/how-to-create-a-scrolling-text-with-jquery-scroller-plugin/ 

you need to modify the FeedManagerModule.ascx and add a new style (rssentries) in the divFeedEntries panel,  after that your code has to look like this

<asp:Panel ID="divFeedEntries" runat="server" CssClass="rsscenter-rightnav rssentries" SkinID="plain">

the code for make the script working  is 

  <script src="./Data/Sites/1/ClientScript/jquery.Scroller-1.0.min.js" type="text/javascript">

  <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function() {
            //create scroller for each element with "vertical scroller" class...
            $('.novedades').find('.rsswrapper').SetScroller({ velocity: 60,
            direction: 'vertical',
            startfrom: 'bottom',
            loop: 'infinite',
            movetype: 'linear',
            onmouseover: 'pause',
            onmouseout: 'play',
            onstartup: 'play',
            cursor: 'pointer'
            });
        });
</script>

you have to add this in your layout.master.

in your style.css add the following  

.novedades
{
    border:2px solid #E5E5E5;
background-color:#E5E5E5;
text-align:center;
position:relative;
display:block;
overflow:hidden;
}
   

.novedades .rsswrapper { position:relative;
display:block;
overflow:hidden;
height:150px;}

.novedades .rssentries
{
position:absolute;
}

the last thing to do, after you include your feed manager module in the page, it's to use the custom css option  and put there novedades.

Joe maybe you could include this for the next release because is not so difficult.  

Don't worry Frank. Joe already said he will eventually work this into feed manager.  I'm looking forward to this as well.

In the meantime, you can do something like this without any programming, just a bit of extra maintenance on your part. Take a look at the release notes for mojoPortal 2.3.1.9, where Joe added rotation of images or paragraphs in the HTML module. You'd need to manually maintain a list of your news posts, one per <p>aragraph, and they will be rotated as specified in the HTML module settings.

One other tip is that if you want to be able to click on a link or image within each rotating paragraph, use anchor syntax like this:

<a onclick="window.open(this.href,'_self');return false; " href="/mynewspage.aspx">Read this</a>

Hope that helps you until Joe comes to the rescue.

I recommend don't fork the code, I have it on my to do list to implement something for this, maybe the same one germandb suggested but I'm looking at other solutions as well. Probably I will do this in time for the next release of mojoPortal.

Awesome Joe, thank you! This will definitely come in handy for us.

Hi germandb,

Thank you for the pointer to this scroller! It was much easier to use than some of the others I looked at.

And also thanks because I have noticed you helping people here in the forums, that is a big help to the project! We need more people like you in our community who are willing to share the things they have learned about using mojoPortal.

Best,

Joe
