Probably best to do something like that on the toolserver [provided it isn't violating rules about using wikimedia content to display articles. I don't think its a problem for just headlines, don't really know] . It probably wouldn't be too difficult to do (I can't do it since I'm going to be away for about a month starting tomorrow).

Doing it directly on enwikinews is more difficult. It could use js to hide all other page content, but that's kind of ugly, or it could use xslt and the api, which is also kind of ugly.

Anyone else got any ideas? Something like this would be quite useful

Dear bawolf Are you still on vacation or can you send an update if it is possible to integrate the wikinewsticker into dooble browser by you ? Still here on vacation too, but we want to discuss a new release soon. maybe you can send an update about your arrival bach. thx. 2011/7/16, R. D. rdohm321@googlemail.com:

Dear Bawolff

as I see, your page http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Bawolff/sandbox/ticker has already a ticker displaying headlines. maybe you can provide just a blank page like this http://infowars.gobyte.net/index.php?fcol=000000&bcol=FFFFFF&hcol=00...

then we can frame it in over <iframe> in html

that would be the quickest way? It is for the new web browser http://dooble.sf.net If you want to try to compile, you see already a dummy, but should be changed to wikinews. Thanks

If you have ticker code that runs off the Wikinews RSS feed, and the area displaying it on your site mentions Wikinews with a link to the site's main page and copyright notice, ... You don't need to ask - just go ahead!
