Hi sgpress !
At present we don’t have automatic option to change the scroll speed, but you can do manually, for that

1.open this ‘vertical-scroll-recent-post.js’ JS file
2.find the below function
setTimeout(”vsrp_scroll();”, 2000);
3.and change the 2000

This is a great plugin and I would really like to use it on client’s sites-

My only issue is that it does not validate– no where close actually… (over 100 errors), so I guess I’m going back to a static recent posts column…

love all of your plug ins! Awesome!

Quick question. I am not javascript literate, but is there a way to use the vertical scroll recent post plug-in to display only posts from a particular category on my blog?

Also, is there a way to allow it to display more lines of the post under the title? I’d really like to only show one at a time.

Thanks again for these plugins! They are a savior!

I’m using worpress as CMS in this site. When I put vertical sroll widget in left sidebar it changes the content of the page. Instead of page original contents it displays the posts in vertical scroll plugin list (without scrolling). Any suggestion?

it would be cool if there was a way to fast forward thru the scroll… perhaps an up and down arrow that increases the speed of the scroll…

To Franz:

For the query is used query_post, this always force to change the main page. The solution is available at vertical-scroll-recent-post.php file!

Comment with // the following code to looks this way:

// $sSql = query_posts(’cat=’.$vsrp_select_categories.’&orderby=’.$vsrp_select_orderby.’&order=’.$vsrp_select_order.’&showposts=’.$num_user);

DON’T comment the following code:

$vsrp_data = $wpdb->get_results(”SELECT ID,post_title,post_date FROM “. $wpdb->prefix . “posts WHERE 1 and post_type=’post’ and post_status = ‘publish’ order by ID desc limit 0, $num_user”);

Comment with // the following code:

// $vsrp_data = $sSql;

Hope this helps.

Great widget.

I would recommend adding a “wp_reset_query();” at the end of your vrsp() function. If the widget is placed in front of the Loop (i.e. left side widget) it breaks the display of all content. This fix solved the problem. Thanks.

Thanx for this great plugin! What code should I alter to display not only post title, but a few first lines from the posts’ content?
Would you extend anything like that in a next version? (Like, Admin settings for “Include post-contents: y/n”, “Number of words to display:”
