News Ticker For Drupal

News Ticker displays scrolling, linked announcements in a Drupal block. Create separate lists for different sections of a site and choose a list for each block instance.

Features

• Create and edit news lists and items with a title, link, and description.
• Place ticker blocks through Drupal's block layout.
• Adjust colors, font size, borders, spacing, icon display, positioning, and animation speed for each block.
• Pause the animation on hover and respect visitors' reduced-motion preference.
• Add safe CSS declarations to the ticker wrapper. Selectors, at-rules, external resources, CSS escapes, executable values, and !important are rejected.

Installation and setup

Install with composer require 'drupal/news_ticker:^1.0', then enable news_ticker.

1. Open Structure > Manage News Ticker and create a list.
2. Add news items to the list.
3. Place a News Ticker block under Structure > Block layout.
4. Select the list and use the Ticker design section to configure its appearance.

Administration access

Grant administer news ticker only to trusted administrators. Design controls are part of block configuration and require the appropriate administration permissions. Anonymous visitors and ordinary members see the ticker, not its management or CSS forms.

Requirements

Requires Drupal ^10.6 || ^11.3. Use a security-supported core release. The current release has been tested on Drupal 10.6, 11.3, and 11.4.
