Text Scroller

Good morning,
I was trying to activate the text scroller on a website, but apparently the text remains frozen (doesn't scroll). I linked it to an article ID and activated the textscroller in a user defined position. Do I need to include something in the article to trigger the action or am I missing something else?

I really would like to get this going, since it is a very nice extension that can be very useful for the website.

Thanks + Best regards

Gino

You probably have a JS error cased by some other script you are using. You can check with Firebug in Firefox.

Text Scroller uses Mootools, a JS framework used by Joomla itself. Some templates intentionally remove Mootools and include jQuery which may conflict with modules that use Mootools.

Mootools 1.2 is required. Stock Joomla 1.5 uses Mootools 1.12 and you must activate Mootools upgrade plugin if you use Joomla 1.5. It's mentioned in documentation.

Good morning and thank you for your reply. Mootools plugin is activated and mootools.js is present in /media/system/js. Still no joy. Do I need to load the library in index.php before it becomes activated?

I can't guess, post your URL and we will see what's wrong.

ok thanks. Can you tell me what country you reside in? Currently all countries except Belgium and The Netherlands are blocked due to recent hacker attacks..

Send a mail and I will send you my IP.
