Hi Rajesh,

Is the Image Ticker a new module or included in a particular version of CM?

Hi Hilary

Thanks for your reply.  Image Ticker is not a new module and  it is a part of base Community Manager product.

Thanks

 Hi Rajesh,

What/where is "Framework2"?

I dont see an image ticker option in our system (5.4 or 6.0) 

Hi Hilary

Thanks for your mail, "Framework2" is our internal QA site.  

With Regards to "Image Ticker" option, it is available in 5.4.

While creating a new "article"  ->  from the "article elements" drop down list  select  "insert image ticker" and click on "add" button.

Like I said, we dont have the option "insert image ticker".

HI Hilary

Now you can view the "insert image ticker" option in the article element drop down list of the dhi website.

Thanks

Now I can see the image and text ticker.

How did you make that appear so I can do the same for our Intranet site?

this text ticker is activated by an Elcom staff member, We will have your account manager phone you up and get this activated for you.

 Thanks

To add an image you have to select images from the dropdown named "image" and then press "add".

Searching for an article has nothing to do with adding a new image. 

If the image width and height are greater than the set width and height, it displays the full image without constaining it. Is this normal behaviour?

Also, if you select "scroll", all the images appear without some sort of container.

Is there some default styling that needs to be applied to the ticker before it will work correctly?

Hi Hilary

I am looking into your post and will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks

Hi Hilary

If the image width and height are greater than the set width and height it will display the full image, it is the normal behaviour of image ticker, and also there is no default styling applied to the image ticker.
