Hi

I am trying to make a News Ticker for my site, just like CZ Newsflash block, but I want it to be shown in the header. I made a script ticker.php and put it in the root dir. The script works fine and shows the News. But when I add the following code to the header.html it doesnt parses it as it is a html file.
<? require "ticker.php"; ?>


I was wondering if there is a way out, which can echo the output in the header.html?

Thanks for any help

thanks for help, but it doesn't work either. On checking the src of the page it shows the code as it is
<?php include "ticker.php"; ?>


May be it can be converted to js and then js can be added? I have a [ Register or login to view links on this board.] which does something like that but it doesn't create a ticker.

Add it right above this line in your header.php:



   include("ticker.php");
    echo "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\">\n";

You have to name the header- header.php and then place that in it. Change the theme where it says $tmplfile = themes/THEME_NAME/header.html to just include("themes/YOUR_THEME/header.php");
