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
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,
I love the module it scroll announcements how I want right to left. However instead of stacking them and scrolling a block of announcements can it scroll one announcement followed by another in-line?

This is the error:
System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Indice oltre i limiti della matrice. in DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaFile.GetTextEncodingType(Byte[] Buffer) in DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaFile..ctor(ZipInputStream unzip, ZipEntry entry) in DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaInstaller.ReadZipStream() in DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaInstaller.Install()

Hello:
I’ve been using announcements for a while now and came across your blog here. My question is, do you know of a way (whether through your extension or otherwise) to make it so that the annoucements goes over two columns instead of just one? On a large page, it looks awkward with just a little text, so i figured it would consolodate better with two columns. I don’t want to use two isntances of the module because if I add something to one, it won’t increment the other.
I installed the module on DNN4.9.5; the installation was ok but when I add the module to a page I get the error:
Indirect reference is being made to assembly DotNetNuke version 5.0.0.799, which contains ‘Imbibe.DNN.Modules.Announcements.ViewAnnouncement’. This Project references a prior version of DotNetNuke version 4.9.5.5. To use ‘Imbibe.DNN.Modules.Announcements.ViewAnnouncement’, you must replace the reference to DotNetNuke with version 5.0.0.799 or higher.
Any help
Hi,
I just installed the module and it is working fine but I have no idea about how to setup the page that contain the full description of the announcement. I tried to new a page and add the module, then select the page in the Announcment description page. The Read More of the announcement can go to the page correctly but there is no description there. Please help!
Hey rahul i use your announcement module in my site but it’s not working.
It works as normal announcement and the scroller doesn’t work.It acts as a still announcement.
So if you could give the correct direction how to use it, it will be helpful to me
I use your announcement module and everything work fine but the read more button. Nothing happen while I click read more, I tried DNN5 and DNN6 already, please advice.
Thanks,
Alex
