Interested to buy your product...but...

[ursinho]

Hello,
cause i need to migrate from windows to linux hosting, i'm looking for a php/mysql based news manager, so i found your product, but i'd like to have horizontal/vertical news scrolling tickers feature (also if using plugins) as i had using ASP/Mssql based News Manager script. Is it possible?

Thanks for help

Have you checked these out?

Also, you have default news ticker that comes with installation.
You can also easily make your own scrolling news marquee using xhtml and VTE with a little of css, so basically, the answer to your question is yes, you can have various horizontal/vertical news tickers on your site :)

Thanks so much Micha,

other important questions (if possible):

Can Viivo be used only as cms and as website or can i use viivo as news articles manager for an existing website. I mean, using Asp/Mssql based script i was able to insert one line of code to my existing pages, in precreated zones to position news zone showing a number of headlines with or without summary and a related thumbnail. On another zone an horizontal news ticker, and on another zone a vertical news ticker, and all this adding only one line of code.
Well, for me is not important number of lines to add but is important that i can use viivo features in existing page.

And, if i need to use xhtml vte css on tickers can you support me?

Hmmm, as I understand, what you are asking is whether you can export content from Vivvo to another site in form of some news ticker or another widget.
Well, the answer is, unfortunately, not at the moment, however, we are working on making this possible for future versions, but at the moment, you can export Vivvo content only via RSS/Atom to another website.

ah :(

Ok Micha. Thanks for your support

Micha, reading more what you wrote "export content from Vivvo to another site...." i think can be not correct. Because what i mean is...build a complete online newspaper at "http://mycompleteonlinenewspaper.mywebsite.xxx" and export content from mycompleteonlinenewspaper (powered by Vivvo) to http:www.mywebsite.xxx pages. So it is not really another website but the same website where vivvo will be installed.

Can it make difference?

Unfortunately it doesn't make any big difference. :(
As I've said before, we are working on making this possible for the future versions (hopefully next).

Hello, Micha
i found a solution to the problems about vertical/horizontal scrolling using rss feeds and a web based service. So i'm actually using your 21 days Vivvo free trial. But i need your support because did not understood why not all published news are showed including summary and thumbnails. And i did not understood if in Vivvo i can insert image/s inside the article and not only in the article's gallery.

Thanks for your support

[Micha]

Of course you can add image within your article, simply use http://wiki.vivvo.net/_media/user_manual/wysiwyg_image.gif insert/edit option on your WYSIWIG editor :)
You can also add an abstract image.

You can read more on add/edit articles in our user manual here:

Thanks Micha now i can insert image inside articles :)

Now can we solve the other "problem"?

I'm adding articles but while the last 3 inserted are correctly displayed(thumbnail, abstract, and link to read full article) on the right side of Headline(s) box, the last fourth is correctly displayed under the Headline(s) box, the First and Second Articles are displayed only with left red arrows and article's titles. I'd like to see all inserted articles with thumbnail and abstract

Can you visit follow this link: http://www.parrucchieritalia.it/magazine/

P.S.: You vill also see how i translated (italian language) Vivvo frontend :)

[ursinho]

Please Micha can you answer my question about articles layout.

Thanks so much

[apocan]

That's not a problem. That's just how vivvo original template works.

I don't know if it will work but you can try adding these codes.

<vte:box module="box_article_list">
<vte:params>
<vte:param name="search_sort_by" value="created" />
<vte:param name="search_order" value="descending" />
<vte:param name="search_limit" value="5" />
</vte:params>
<vte:template>
<div id="box_most_popular" class="box">
<div class="box_title_holder">
<div class="box_title">Rasgele Bilgiler</div>
</div>
<div class="box_body">
<vte:if test="{VIVVO_HOMEPAGE_ARTICLE_LIST_COLUMNS} = 1">
<vte:foreach item = "article" from = "{article_list}">
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}summary/default2.tpl" />
</vte:foreach>
<vte:else>
<vte:for from = "{article_list}" key="latest_key" step="{VIVVO_HOMEPAGE_ARTICLE_LIST_COLUMNS}">
<div style="overflow:hidden;width:96%; margin-left:5px;">
<vte:foreach item = "article" from = "{article_list}" start="{latest_key}" loop="{VIVVO_HOMEPAGE_ARTICLE_LIST_COLUMNS}">
<div>
<vte:attribute name="style">
<vte:if test="{VIVVO_HOMEPAGE_ARTICLE_LIST_COLUMNS} = 3">
width:33.33%;float:left;height:50px;
<vte:else>
width:100%;float:left;
</vte:else>
</vte:if>
</vte:attribute>
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}summary/default2.tpl" />
</div>
</vte:foreach>
</div>
</vte:for>
</vte:else>
</vte:if>
</div>
</div>
</vte:template>
</vte:box>
