Does anyone explain me how I can use Views Ticker.I loaded modul but no idea how I should use it.please explain me step by step ,I am new on drupal
thank you.I wanna do somethink like this link
enter link description here
Create a "content type" and name it anything in my own case I will name it "news"
To create a content type, navigate to administration->structure->Content type-> add content type
You can add new fields to the content type if you wish. But in my own case I will just use the default settings, since I need only the titles to appear as flash news headlines so click "save"
Next create a new view and name it anything in my own case I will call it "headlines"
To create a new view navigate to administration->structure->views->add new view,
Now setup the new view with the following attribiutes; {View Name = headlines, show = content, of type = news, sort by = Newest First, create a page = uncheck, display format = Views Ticker, of = Titles (Linked)", use a pager = unchecked, create a block = checked} now click save and exit
Next navigate to Blocks and enable the block we just created through the views. Check for the block name "headlines" and specify the location where you will like to place the newly added block and save.
To enable the block navigate to Administration->Structure->Blocks
Now Navigate to view and select the new view we just added. In my own case it is called "headlines" and make sure "Format" is set to View Ticker, you can customize the settings of the View Tick by click settings.
Next add a news content type using the content type we just created. Add a title, a summary and a content. Then hit save
To add a news content type, navigate to Add content
Tip: Add at least two news contents in other to see the full effect of the view ticker
There is "Some" documentation in the readme file. check it out and see if it fits your requirements, http://drupalcode.org/project/views_ticker.git/blob/refs/heads/7.x-2.x:/README.txt
From first glance it seems like a views plugin so you could probably try changing the dispaly in the views settings.
Yes, you need to create a new View that pulls in some kind of content (i.e. Announcements). Under the "Display Format" when creating the View, you'll see an option of "Views Ticker", if you've installed the module correctly.
Based on the example you pointed to, you'll probably want to create a Block at the same time, that you can insert into the desired region.
Once you've created the View, you'll see a link for the Display Format "Settings". This is where you choose whether to make it scroll horizontally, vertically, speed, etc.
Once you updated and saved the view, you should go Admin > Structure > Blocks and insert your newly-made Views Ticker block into one of the regions (regions available will vary based on your Theme).
Then, as long as your permissions are correct, and you have actual content,you should see the scrolling ticker show up on the page(s) where the block shows up.
To use views ticker, it needs you to have an view which outputs some data.
I assume you have such a view. Then go to that view's edit page and set format to views ticker. You should have enabled views ticker module to get that option to formats list.
Then it will show you the settings window, in which you can set settings such as vertically, horizontally, BBC, etc styles for your data movement and respective speed etc.
After you did, click on apply button and then save button top of the view's edit page.
If all goes well it should display moving contents in the page/block related to that view.

I know, if you want to check the names of the Display Output of the view page then we need to click on the Information Link near by Theme of Advance Theme of the view, it will list all the files.
After clicking on this, it will list.
Display Output : (View Machine name is add_to_cart)
views-view.tpl.php, views-view--add-to-cart.tpl.php, views-view--default.tpl.php, views-view--default.tpl.php, views-view--page.tpl.php, views-view--add-to-cart--page.tpl.php
So, could you please suggest which files should be best for creation of the Display Output template of the view page ?
If you want specific theming to your page display of add_to_cart view, then choose
to override views-view--add-to-cart--page.tpl.php.
I'll also want to add the importance of naming convention for templates, so that, next time, you can choose the template name yourself:
views-view.tpl.php: called for every view.
views-view--add-to-cart.tpl.php: called for only add_to_cart view.
views-view--default.tpl.php: called for the display: default(master display) of every view.
views-view--page.tpl.php: called for the display: page of every view.
views-view--add-to-cart--page.tpl.php: called for the display: page of only add_to_cart view. (the specific suggestions are always last)
Note:
Template naming suggestion flow: general to specific.
Also when you click the display output, you can copy the code for the template. This way you get all the variables that are available to you.
Hope this help else comment for queries.
Understanding how default, page comes in template names:
Within a view, you can create many displays as shown below.
Each display has a Machine Name, for eg: System display has a machine name: system_1. So, a view with system_1 display will be overrided using views-view--system-1.tpl.php. Note: the underscore('_') is replaced with hyphen('-'). The by default view display or master display in a view has a machine name: default.
I wanted to display a custom field as Read-Only on the Edit page ONLY of a custom object. This field should be hidden on the detail page. I tried wrapping the field in a section and display the section in Edit Page only(Page layout editor). That didn't work. I don't want to create a custom visual force page for the EDIT Page. Please suggest.
Thanks

Unfortunately, there's no way to put a field on just edit or just detail. It's both or neither.
You have two options, custom Visualforce page as an Edit override is the easiest one, but if you want to leave the page layout editor as something useful to admins, there's also a very hacky option...
Create two record types, one that displays the field and one that doesn't. Create a new button that launches a Flow (with a return URL of the edit page for that object). The Flow should change the object's recordtype to the one that displays the field. Additionally, create a Process or trigger that changes the recordtype back to the one that does not display the trigger after you save the object.
I definitely recommend the VF page...
I am trying to create a content type (say Meter). Each Meter consists of a "Meter Reading". This meter reading content contains three fields, say title, date range and usage. I have a Panel page where I display all the Meter Readings related to a parent Meter. I have displayed the Meter Readings in a tabular format.
I want the user to be able to add new Meter Readings without going to the default Meter Readings creation page. Rather than the default form kind of page, the user should be able to enter the data in the table view provided and it should be automatically saved into the project itself.
So, I want the functionality to be like:-
Display all the meter readings with two links, i.e., Edit and Delete,
When the user clicks on Edit link, the meter reading row should become editable and the user should be able to make the changes inline in the same table,
In the footer there should be a link for adding a new meter reading and when the user clicks on it, a new blank row should be added dynamically to the table and the user should be able to make a new entry into it.
Is there a module in Drupal 7 for doing so?? I have already tried out several modules for this such as SlickGrid, jQGrid and jEditable
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
Am afraid am not aware about a module that does all that out of the box. But in case you carry on with custom coding you can have a look at the following:
Edit and Delete options per row in views
Use Views Megarow. For working example you can have a look at how its used in commerce backoffice. Please note that you need to write the form structure ( FORM api ) for the quick edit form in a custom module. The Views Megarow takes care of ajax populating the edit form, its submission in client side, and refreshing the original row after the response from server.
When the user clicks on Edit link, the meter reading row should become editable and the user should be able to make the changes inline
in the same table.
Views Megarow doesn't support inline editing. But another module as suggested by #nmc does it. Its editablefields. But it doesn't have any edit/delete button. You click on the text directly ( provided user has appropriate permission to edit the field data ) in view.
In case you are going to use editablefields, then you would have to add another delete button in view, which one confirmation would redirect to the page that triggered delete action.
Since delete button would redirect to a default confirmation page, you may want to code a custom delete action which may override this.
In the footer there should be a link for adding a new meter reading and when the user clicks on it, a new blank row should be
added dynamically to the table and the user should be able to make a
new entry into it.
I suggest creating a small ajax form. Create a "Add Meter Reading" button in it, which on submission would create a meter reading node in the server. The ajax form should have parent information in a hidden field ( i.e. the Meter id). The ajax response for this form could be another script to load/refresh the view on client side.
Client side code to refresh the view can be found in Views Autorefresh submodule in Views Hacks.
If using views megarow you would have to add another jquery function on ajax response after view is refreshed - Trigger edit button.
Otherwise you may have to add some classes or theme to newly created rows in view to bring them to focus.
It is important that the entire views refreshes, so that drupal behaviours are attached to the newly created entry in table.
I don't know if there is one module which will meet all your needs but you may be able to use some in combination.
Views Bulk Operations (VBO) - has Drupal 7 support
This module augments Views by allowing bulk operations to be executed
on the displayed rows. It does so by showing a checkbox in front of
each node, and adding a select box containing operations that can be
applied. Drupal Core or Rules actions can be used.
editablefields - Drupal 7 version in dev
This module allows CCK fields to be edited on a node's display (e.g.
at node/123), not just on the node edit pages (e.g. node/123/edit). It
also works within views etc. Anywhere a 'formatter' can be selected,
you can select editable (or click to edit).
editview - no Drupal 7 support yet but I thought I would mention it in case you're able to adapt the code yourself
Editview is a plugin for the Views module. It allows you to create a
view in which the nodes are editable, and new nodes can be created.
I have a prism application already in production.
I need to create a new module in this application.The module can either exist on not exist in the application depending on the configuration file.
This module view should be dispalyed in a region already existing. The view should only be visible when the module is loaded.
Problem: the existing screen has a region showing 2 tab items from 2 different modules. Now the new view should be part of the first tab and it gives the user the option to select whether to view the previous info or the new info from this new module.
I am stuck and dont know how I am going to show these checkboxes when the new module is loaded and hide it when it is not. Where do I put this logic?
Current scenario:
Very vague images to define what i meant?
Here's an option that will work, and isn't too much effort...
Inside your beautifully illustrated Tab1, add another tab control, and make this a Prism region. Fill this region with both the original view, and the view from your new module.
Then, restyle the inner tab control, if necessary, so the tab headers appear like radio buttons, and set up a datatrigger to hide the tab header strip if the number if tabs is less than or equal to 1.
Thanks for all your help :)
After a lot of RND i figure it out.
I have created a two tabcontrol regions one for the main tab and the other for the child tab.
on the child tab i have return style to display tabitem only if item.count is more then 1 as suggested by mark.
and i have put this code in my existing module.
I am building a prototype in SketchFlow using a sample data set. When I run the project I can see lists of values no problem but anywhere I have used details mode to display a single record the running project is blank. The data is displayed within Expression Blend (it picks the first record in the set) - the only thing I can think of is that the binding needs to refer to a specific record but I can't see where to set that.
I found the example in this tutorial works fine:
http://blogs.msdn.com/canux/archive/2009/06/29/mini-tutorial-blend-3-visual-data-binding.aspx
Create your sample data source
Click on the 'list' mode button above the data source (in the 'data' tab)
Drag field(s) onto a list view for the list selection
Click the 'details' mode button above the data source (in the 'data' tab)
Drag the other field(s) onto the area where you want to display the details
Voila! it works! Or, at least it works on my box ; )
OK, I found a clunky answer. You can put a linked master control on the page with the relevant default value and then collapse it so it's not visible. Does the job but not particularly elegant.
