dmTickerTapePlugin

• In a console, from your project root dir, run:

git clone git://github.com/etherkye/dmTickerTapePlugin.git plugins/dmTickerTapePlugin  

• In config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php, add dmTickerTapePlugin to the list of enabled plugins:

class ProjectConfiguration extends dmProjectConfiguration
{  
  public function setup()  
  {  
    parent::setup();  
 
    $this->enablePlugins(array(  
      // your enabled plugins  
      'dmTickerTapePlugin'  
    ));  

• In a console, from your project root dir, run:

php symfony doctrine:generate-migrations-diff  

php symfony doctrine:migrate  

php symfony dm:setup  

Adding Messages

In the admin menu go to Ticker Tape -> Ticker Tapes

Add them as normal you can specify a link for each message if you want.

Using on pages

Drop the widget onto the page. Specify the ordering parameters as away you go. I personally order it on random just to get a different starting message each time.

Customizing Look

There is a CSS called min-style.css which is the minified CSS for the plugin. You can either chose to overwrite this or just add the changes to your theme.
