I want to create a news ticker. I pull the top five articles from the database in my controller and pass it on to my view. I have a ticker bar, and I want to cycle through each article continuously. I previously did this with custom javascript from an RSS feed. Any ideas? Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It''s expensive, but periodically_call_remote will issue an Ajax call to your server at a specified interval and you can then update a div containing your news blip.

I''m familiar with the commands, it''s implementing them
that''s causing
me headaches. When I try using
<%= periodically_call_remote(:update =>
''ticker_headline'', :frequency
=> 3, :url => { :partial => ''article'', :collection
=> @articles }) %>
in or outside of my tag, it loads the entire home page over again and
puts it inside. NOT the article title I want...
What about passing the @articles collection to cycle? Anyway to use
that with JavaScript to accomplish the same thing without the expense
of periodically_call_remote?

Are you rendering with :layout => false in your callback function?

What about using custom JavaScript and passing the articles (@articles) to that JavaScript from the controller?
