News ticker in tagline…Possible?

Another possibility: Change the tagline block/container to a widget block/container?

Thanks.

Thanks again d4z_c0nf…will give it a try. I’m new to all of this…my coding experience is limited to building my website over the last week…so, still a lot to learn.

Just cannot thank you enough d4z_c0nf.

I just couldn’t manage to merge your codes to get it to work the way I wanted using the plugin. I did manage to add a widget area in place of the tagline using your link and borrowing from this link:

Using a text widget with the marquee tag and a tiny bit of CSS, it works okay…not as fluid or user friendly as the plugin, but good enough for now.

The full php code if interested:

/* CREATE NEW TAGLINE WIDGET AREA */

if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
    register_sidebar(array(
    'name' => 'Tagline Widget Area',
    'id' => 'extra-tagline-widget-area',
    'description' => 'A widget area intended to replace the tagline with a news ticker - DO NOT use with a tagline or add a widget title.',
    'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
    'after_widget' => '</div>',
    'before_title' => '<h2 class="widget-title">',
    'after_title' => '</h2>'
    ));
}

/* DISPLAY NEW TAGLINE WIDGET CONTENTS IN THE TAGLINE */

add_filter ('tc_tagline_display', 'add_my_widget');
function add_my_widget() {
    global $wp_current_filter;
    ?>
        <?php if ( !in_array( '__navbar' , $wp_current_filter ) )  :?>
            <div class="container outside">
                <h2 class="site-description">
                    <?php bloginfo( 'description' );
                    if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')) {
                    dynamic_sidebar('Tagline Widget Area');
                    }
                    ?>
                </h2>

            </div>
        <?php else : //when hooked on __navbar ?>
            <h2 class="span10 inside site-description">
                <?php bloginfo( 'description' );
                if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')) {
                dynamic_sidebar('Tagline Widget Area');
                }
                ?>
            </h2>

        <?php endif; ?>
    <?php
}

Thanks again!
