Thanks

This is great, just what I was looking for as a solution. I think it would be awesome if somehow you could add multiple instances of the current announcements and supply different styles to them. I have one on my non-blog looking homepage, and then on the blog page the sidebar I created is a different size. Thanks for the great plugin :-)

I love the concept of this plug-in…however, I am not sure if our theme will work with it. our site is www(dot)boissuq(dot)com…this theme is soooooooo tempermental, if u have a moment could you breeze by and let me know what you think…I’d like it in the side bar.
Also…I need to know where to download it also…thanks in advance for your help.

Wish I could add clickable links to the news so that it went to a blog posting or outside url. If this already a feature please let me know. Javascript plays nice with theme and other plug-ins which is refreshing.

If love this plug-in. I am using it to display names things I like. It would be great if I can have a scrolling list.

BTW, for the poster who wants clickable links, I used the a href tags and it worked for me. For example, Food4Talk

Handy little plugin thanks!

Just a note. It stopped working and I couldn’t work out why until I noticed that if your announcement text contains an apostrophe ( ‘ ), it mangles the javascript. Just put a backslash in front of it and it’s fine ( \’ )

Recommendation:
Can create a page to render all historical Announcemente.

Suggestion – Add a div or class for easy CSS Wrapping of widget content

I am trying to get it to display in a page adding the code you provided: but it doesnt work. I really would like to be able to add the scroller anywhere with (the html code?) or some embedding method? such as [announcements_news] for example… is it possible?

At present this is available only for sidebar

I really love this plug-in but the fact that an add was embedded in it was very unprofessional. I certainly hope to see more good things from you, but preferably without nailing me with your google adsense.

Very, very good plugin. It works fine with my Wordpress 2.8.6! I love it, it’s really the best I’ve ever seen in that way! Keep on … :-)

@ leo

It seems that the line is grabbing from your general CSS style of your theme. For example, if I add a link to my announcements, it’s formatted like my general theme CSS.

yes. it took link CSS from current theme

Have you considered adding checkboxes and a mass update feature to the announcements? I clip news articles throughout the week and I have around 25 announcements by week’s end. I then have to delete each on one at a time when the new week starts. It seems like you should be able to delete several at a time instead of just singly.

Yes, Thanks for your suggestion , am working on these 2 suggestion (bulk delete option and announcement expiration date option), will update the plug-in shortly.

Your plugin is a cutie :) but it should open a page to view all announcements in a single page, when a link like, “View All Announcements” is clicked.

If you add this additional functionality, your plugin would become s**y also :)

You can see your plugin in action at http://igau.edu.in

this great plugin… but users with a Contributor roles can see and change the settings page of the plugin in SETTINGS TAB ???
This is a problem!

You need to upgrade your plug-ins. Since I moved up to WP 2.9, every plug in of yours that I install a) doesn’t work and b) locks out all sidebars except for sidebar1 in the widget admin page.

This is a fantastic plugin. However, it would be nice if you could insert a photo or graphic.

Nice plugin. I started using it a few weeks ago and it’s great. However I found something I think it’s wrong, and it’s that Settings Page is available to any registered user, not only admins.
Is it easy to solve?
Thanks!

Great plugin works great with HTML tags.
Only thing i want to know how i can change is to add a CSS style:
direction: rtl;

my blog is in hebrew & i want the text to be from right to left.
i changed it from the settings menu but that didn’t worked.

here is a link to the site, look on the bottom, the date should be on the right

Your plugin works like the way I wanted! Thanks and keep up the good work.

But I can’t change the width. No matter what number I put in, the widget still show same width (sidebar_full) so I put it in (sidebar_left). I’m using WP 2.9.1 (maybe the culprit :P )and pixel templates.

Can’t wait for updates! Cheers!
