News Ticker For Drupal
News Ticker allows site builders to create and display scrolling lists of news items. You can manage multiple news lists and items through the Drupal administration interface, place them as blocks, and customize their appearance without needing to code.
Introduction
News Ticker provides configurable scrolling news lists for Drupal 10 and Drupal 11 sites. Site builders can create ticker lists, add linked news items, place a News Ticker block, and customize each block's frontend design from the Drupal administration UI.
Features
- Manage multiple ticker lists and list items from the administration area.
- Place ticker lists as Drupal blocks.
- Configure colors, spacing, borders, font size, icon display, animation speed, positioning, hover pause behavior, and safe wrapper CSS declarations per block instance.
- Keep all design controls in Drupal block configuration; anonymous and ordinary authenticated visitors only see the rendered ticker.
- Use a dedicated restricted
administer news tickerpermission for administration access.
Installation
composer require 'drupal/news_ticker:^1.0' drush en news_ticker
Usage
- Go to Administration > News Ticker.
- Create a ticker list.
- Open the list and add ticker items with a title, HTTP or HTTPS URL, and description.
- Place the News Ticker block from Drupal's block layout UI.
- Select the ticker list and use the Ticker design section to style that block instance.
Security and maintenance
Administration routes require the restricted administer news ticker permission. Ticker URLs are validated and limited to HTTP/HTTPS values, rendered text is escaped by Drupal render arrays/Twig, and additional CSS is limited to simple declarations. The project includes Drupal GitLab CI configuration and is maintained for Drupal 10 and Drupal 11.
