Let me clear first about what is Slick RSS
Slick RSS is a joomla module that Parse and Display RSS Feed News with DHTML Teaser Tooltip. For details pls visit this link.
ok , let me tell what I am going to do next. That module is great to show rss feed from another site and I want to use it as a news ticker and it can be named as rss news ticker. ok then let’s make it done.
I am going to use js library jQuery and it’s plugin BBCNewsTicker. Please download latest version of jquery and that plugin this the given link.
Now, install the module Slick RSS in your joomla site and publish in any module position. Now I am going to make little change in the module code so that it can be configured for newsticker.
open the file default.php from modules\mod_slick_rss\tmpl and check link near 39
<ul class="slick-rss-list<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx'); ?>" id="slick-rss-list< ?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx'); ?>" style="margin-left:0px;padding-left:0px;">
here I am adding id to ul tag so that the jquery plugin can catch that and do newsticking 
oh btw,$params->get(‘moduleclass_sfx’) that is the class sufix that u add to that module, it urgent to give module suffix here and don’t give same class sufix for another copy of same module in same page. In that the first module be working as newsticker as both more than one module’s ul tag is getting same id.
Next task is to add jquery and it’s plugin and do that newsticking… 
I am putting them in index.php of the current active template. make folder named js in your current template folder if there is none and put the jquery file and it’s plugin in that folder . now put the these lines in your index.php template file
<script src="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/templates/js/jquery-1.2.6.pack.js"></script>
<script src="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/templates/js/newsticker.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">// < ![CDATA[
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready( function(){
var options = {newsList: "#slick-rss-list_rssnews", tickerRate: 80, loopDelay: 3000, startDelay: 10, placeHolder1: "_"}
jQuery().newsTicker(options);
});
// ]]></script>
Look the above code I used the jquery file name jquery-1.2.6.pack.js and it’s plugin newsticker.js .So if u are using latest version of jquery or it’s news ticker plugin then put the file names carefull in the code…
another line check here
var options = {newsList: "#slick-rss-list_rssnews", tickerRate: 80, loopDelay: 3000, startDelay: 10, placeHolder1: "_"}
here #slick-rss-list_rssnews # is jquery syntax to catch slick-rss-list_rssnews as id and _rssnews is the class suffix for the Slick RSS module that I put from admin panel in the module configuration. If you put any thing then the id will be like #slick-rss-list{class suffix here without 2nd bracket} in this format. I think you are clear.
Oh u may ask why I wrote that line jQuery.noConflict(); and jQuery in place of $ sign.. heh to avoid conflict with other js library. You can search jquery seach about this noConflict mode.
Another thing is put the above code in footer of yout index.php file so that the loading time of jquery and it’s plugin doesn’t make any problem for site loading. For first time before the site loaded completely(before the dom is ready) the rss feed will be shown as listed like
list1
list2
list2
so if u make the ul tag height as the the line height of list item from css then it will seems that before the dom ready first news is displayed. When the dom is ready jquery plugin will start to work 
waiting for your feedback
wana see demo of my work ? ok check here .If this link doesn’t work in future then check main domain of that link as this is a demo site now
A poor or faster way to add wptinybn support to wp TinyMCEComments plugin
I have a wp plugin named wptinybn which enables users to write in unicode bangla for different types of bengali keyboard in wp visual editor which is based on tinymce. Actually my wp plugin is based on my tinymce plugin tinybn. That means besides the wptinybn the tinybn plugin is a standalone tinymce plugin. So it should work with everywhere with tinymce. ok.. I am 25% done
There is another wp plugin named TinyMCEComments which enables wp users to write comments through tinymce editor. I am 50% done. Cool na ?
One of my reader asked me how to add the tinybn support to TinyMCEComments. I just check that plugin’s code and I have that plugin installed in my own blog too though not enabled! Yes my answer is yes … that means it’s possible. It can be done in different ways. As a quick thinking I am giving a poor or faster (whatever u think) way to do that. I am 75% done… wait a bit man.
Download the wptinybn and TinyMCEComments plugin and install them. (if u want not to install wptinybn to do that then it’s ok, I mean no dependency). Check wptinybn(unzip first!) folder and you should find a folder in it named “banglafkb”.Copy this and paste in wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins folders in your blog wp installation. Done ? ok now …
hmm now you have to be more brave to edit the TinyMCEComments plugin… not much in deed. Open file tinyMCEComments.php and find the word “pls”. Stop to it’s first occurance the word will be like $pls and it’s a array and here parts of code is like
$pls = array('separator','bold','italic','underline','strikethrough','justifyleft','justifycenter','justifyright','justifyfull','bullist','numlist','outdent','indent','cut','copy','paste','undo','redo','link','unlink','cleanup','help','code','hr','removeformat','sub','sup','forecolor','backcolor','charmap','visualaid','blockquote','spellchecker','fullscreen');now place // before this line and it will be like bellow
//$pls = array('separator','bold','italic','underline','strikethrough','justifyleft','justifycenter','justifyright','justifyfull','bullist','numlist','outdent','indent','cut','copy','paste','undo','redo','link','unlink','cleanup','help','code','hr','removeformat','sub','sup','forecolor','backcolor','charmap','visualaid','blockquote','spellchecker','fullscreen');we just kept the old code .
now in new line put this bellow code
$pls = array('separator','bold','italic','underline','strikethrough','justifyleft','justifycenter','justifyright','justifyfull','bullist','numlist','outdent','indent','cut','copy','paste','undo','redo','link','unlink','cleanup','help','code','hr','removeformat','sub','sup','forecolor','backcolor','charmap','visualaid','blockquote','spellchecker','fullscreen','banglafkb');If you check the above code what I have added new here ? just that ,’banglafkb’
I am 90% done. Now to to your admin panel activate tinymcecomments plugin then from menu Settings go to it’s(that plugin’s) setting page and check (if you done above copy pase and code editing) ‘banglafkb’ is in the button list and in the available plugin list. Just click both banglafkb to add from button list and plugin list. For button list click seperator before banglafkb that will be make a | seperator in editor. Now save this new option and check your comment form.
Angry one me ? You have done every thing properly but nothing new in the editor and u don’t see any change in the preview editor int the plugin options page. Don’t worry. The plugin keeps the setting in cache for 10 days. So to get the changes within one sec just open the tinyMCEComments.php file and pls check from top few liens code
there is a line like
$mcecomment_expiresOffset = 3600 * 24 * 10; // Cache for 10 days in browser cache
make this line comment I mean like
//$mcecomment_expiresOffset = 3600 * 24 * 10; // Cache for 10 days in browser cache
and now put a new line bellow it like
$mcecomment_expiresOffset = 1; // Cache for 1 sec in browser cache
now save this file and check the option’s page’s preview editor.
I think I am 100% done now. mu ha ha.
Oh I forgot to say currently I am working on a joomla plugin to make the dates in bangla for front end for articles, actually it will work with com_content …hope to release this on the eid-durga puja vacation.
