Re: Scrolling text
The jQuery Cycle plugin settings used here are scrollup and scrollright.
Hope this helps you further, please let me know.
Text scrolling
Sorry, i should have been more clear with my question. I have managed to build both an advanced slideshow and a basic slideshow but I also want a basic slide show with just text. I cannot work how to get ddblock to display just text on multiple slides. Where do you input the text? With images it is simple as you just reference a folder which contains the images; but what do you reference with regards to text input?
Cheers,
Mike.
Re: text scrolling
If you use the basic slideshow you can use one node with the different texts you want to slide, like in the tutorial: How to create a basic dynamic display block image slideshow with links to other pages
The difference is you don't use an image but only text.
If you use the advanced slideshow option you can have a look at: Text-only Dynamic Display does not transition
Hope this helps you further, please let me know.
Scrolling Text
I apologize for bothering you with dumb questions, but I've been going over your reply trying to make ddblock with scrolling text. You stated in your reply "the difference is you don't use an image buy only text. My questions are as follows:
1. I have 11 names I want to scroll. Do I create a text file for each name and attach it to the "ddblock images with links to other pages" node or do I type the names in to actual body of the node?
2. For the special content node (for ""ddblock images with links to other pages") I created is node/119 , do link to this node, if not what node am I actually linking to. Also do I remove
<img src="link to image"> since I'm not using images but only text?
Again I apologize for the dumb questions but I haven't been able to get this to work. Thank you so much in advance for your assistance.

Re: scrolling text
The body of one node should be:
When you don't need a link from the names it can just be
This node can now be used in the configuration page of the basic ddblock module you create. Choose the content type of the node, choose the node made. (it is better to create a special content type for this)
Hope this helps you further, please let me know.
If not please create an issue in the issue queue of the module.
That did the trick! Thank you
That did the trick! Thank you so much! I would like to add an image in the background of the scrolling text. would I target the ddblock-4 or the back ground of the node where the text is?
