Hi @user2912!

Glad to tell you that we have News widget in our Coming soon project. So, we do have plans to consider such an app in our future updates.

Thanks a bunch for sharing your suggestion with us and welcome to Elfsight Community :heart:

By the way, if any other ideas come up, you are very welcome to share :wink:

Hi @Jenny_Galow, happy to see you in our community, welcome!

I’m afraid the News widget is not on our roadmap yet, since we’re working on other apps at the moment :frowning:

But it would be super useful if you shared how you envision such a widget and described your use case a bit:

  • What tasks would this widget help you accomplish?

  • What specific features would you like to see in this widget?

  • Any other details you’d want to share?

Your insights would be incredibly helpful for us to understand your needs better before we begin work on the widget :slight_smile:

Hello friends!

I’m coming with a very important question concerning the whole widget development. I really hope you’ll help us in this regard :blush:

While thinking over Blog widget development, we realized that this request for the News Ticker widget might be covered with the Blog widget as well. Hence, the question:

What is your use case specifically, and what would you like the News Ticker widget to help you with?

We have a feeling that we could develop these widgets simultaneously. Thank you! :raised_hands:t2:

Hi @Iyashi_Digital, happy to welcome you!

Currently, we’re trying to figure out what exactly you expect this widget to be :slight_smile:

Could you please describe your idea and tell me what the News Ticker widget would help you with? Thank you in advance!

Hi @Jos :wave:

As Helga mentioned above, currently, we are trying to figure out how you envision this app.

Could you please describe how you are going to use and what features are must-have for your case?

Hi Max, Helga, you probably know about newstickers, a screen wide widget where news (titles) are shown. If there are multiple news messages they will appear one by one. Sometimes they appear from left to right or they can fly in vertically. So there must be an interface to set the styling so it matches the site/brand. Secondly you must be able to add, remove or manage messages. Thirdly, you must be able to add links so that people can click in the text of the message to jump to a certain page or post. Lastly, we have a news website and we would like that the news ticker contains our news items so that we can announce on the homepage an animated ticker with the titles of the news and a link to the article. This can be done with an RSS feed as it contains this info, per article. Here you can find some examples: Breaking News Ticker Examples. I think you have all these functionalities already build in other widget so it’s just a matter of combining them :wink: Looking forward to a newsticker widget, we could use it.

Lovely ideas, thanks a lot for describing your use case, @user9800! :clap:t2:

Since we’re currently trying to figure out your needs and use cases prior to thinking about a widget concept, your comment is really helpful :slight_smile:

Thank you! I’ll be happy to share more details once I have any updates from the team :raised_hands:t2:

No problem, let me know if you need more information.

I want to take the opportunity to ask you if you can ask Viktoria to look at my ticket with the title “View Limit” for forms, this is a bit urgent for us. Thanks, Jos.

Hi there @Ackerman_Co and welcome aboard :wave:

Much as I’d love to share an update, unfortunately, we haven’t got any news yet. I am so sorry!

The thing is that we prioritize requests based on the complexity of their implementation and number of votes. Currently, we have many requests with higher priority and our devs are actively working on them. You can look through them here :slightly_smiling_face:

In the meantime, could you please describe how you are going to use this app and specify the features you’d like to see there?

Your feedback will help us better understand what you expect from the widget :pray:

Hi there, as described above is almost exactly my use case. I’d want to have a scrolling headline feed that i can place anywhere on my homepage. It would be fed with an RSS feed from my CRM. Just headlines of news items about our music school, although clickable links to blog posts would be cool. The whole point is the scrolling feature, like a stock ticker or news chyron.

Nice description, thanks a lot for the details, @Michael_Hienzsch!

By the way, we’re working on the Blog widget now and there are big chances we’ll see it released rather soon. Here’s the discussion: Blog widget - #77

Maybe the Blog widget could work as a temporary solution for you once rolled out, so feel free to vote on it to follow the updates :blush:

I also like the news ticker feature. In my Event calendar, there could be added a news ticker to update people on the current news or special events needed to emphasized.

Hi there, @MariusP :wave:

Thank you so much for the feedback!

I’d just like to mention that this is an idea for the standalone News Ticker app. Do you want to have this feature only in Event Calendar or as a separate app too?
