A customer needed a news web part for SharePoint 2007, however no good web part was found. Since most news web sites are using RSS feeds, we decided to write an RSS ticker web part: SPRssTicker. Since SharePoint lists got RSS feeds the ticker can also display those feeds too.

Hello,
Yesterday, I tried SPSlideShow webpart. It looked vey good,
but I have a problem today which is: all users -that do not have Full Control permissions- can not enter the whole site, unless I delete the SPSlideShow webpart..!
I hope you solve this prblem if it is from your side, or tell me what to do if it is of mine..
Thanks.
I’ve just answered a similar question in the forum. Can you send me the exact privileges of the user(s) that get this error?
btw – there was such an error in an earlier version of SPSlideShow which was fixed. Which version did you try?
Thank you admin!
I have solved the problem one week ago..
Actually, I was using version 0.9, and I have read your answer in the forum on Feb26 and applied it..
Thank you again.
I am using RSS Ticker web part to display a news list. It’s ok if the direction is down or up. But if the direction is left or right, it only shows the first item on the list. Do you know what’s the problem?
If you use horizontal scrolling try changing the height of the web part to fit exactly one line (the line scrolling).
I have installed RSS Ticker web part today.. But I have the following error:
\.. System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

at SPElements.Utils.Rss.RssFeed.DownloadCurrentItemList()
at SPRssTicker.WebPartSPRssTicker.CreateChildControls() ..\
Can you help in that!
But default RSS Ticker uses the logged in user to download the RSS data. What type of authentication the site uses? does the logged in user got access to the RSS?
The site uses Integrated Windows authentication: (Negotiate Kerberos). And all site users have an access to the RSS..
At this point I’m not sure what is the problem. The RSS is downloaded with the current user privileges. There’s must be something I’m missing here. Can you think of anything special with that RSS feed? does SPRssTicker works with any RSS feed in your SharePoint?
Are you running the MOSS/WSS on Windows 2008? if so I found the following blog post which might explain it: Unable to authenticate to a SharePoint portal on the server itself
Any change you can make the source available for download?
Wanted to makes some changes in the feature. Great work.
What feature do you need?
I need the RSS Ticker. A cool thing would be to have a ddl with the existing lists instead of having to type the url. Some field customization and javascript optimization on timing and effects and it would be perfect. If I can get the source I will send it over again after I finish it.
It will take some time to prepare the RSS ticker to be an open source. Anyhow – I think it would be more appropriate to set a list which will contain the URLs of the RSS feeds.
Hi and thank you for this web part.
I run it on WSS 3.0 SP2 and I use the left scroll.
Maybe it’s a silly question but the bottom of the characters like ‘p’, ‘y’… are not displayed.
Of course I increased the web part height but even if the box itself increase the characters with “legs” are still cut.
Any idea?
Thank you.
Gilles
While trying to check the problem you describe I found many problems in the left-to-right scroll. Still considering what to do about it.
Thank you for your answer.
I will visit this site regularly to check if a new release solve the issue.

Hi,

All users have access and the blog post doesn’t really fit our scenario. Did you get any results on the error?
very interested as this is a good solution for us
What’s the authentication of the feed? is it forms authentication? please respond in the forum, not here.
I have the same error too….

The webpart works in our dev environment and gives this eeror in production…

ENABLE ANONYMOUS ACCESS TO THE SITE WHERE YOU HAVE THE SOURCE LIST FOR THE RSS FEED.
This is a real problem. I’ve checked for solutions, but it seems many people are asking for solutions, and there’s no good solution.
The only thing possible is to impersonate the web-part as Administrator, which I don’t like (it will allow users which can add the web-part to a page to see all the lists in the server).

Hello,
Great Webpart.
Could you add a feature (timer) to reload the rss link/source?
If not, could you please open the source code so i can add the feature ?
once again , thanks for the wonderfull webpart.
Hi,
I use this webpart for an RSS feed.
I was wondering if its possible to get the rss feed links to open in a new window?
