Hi,
I installed your extensions (vertical scroll, excerpt scroll, etc.) but do not work! Yes, they scrolling, but only “…” !
I’ve assigned many articles categories, but in vain.
The same to me… only “…” !!!!!
As per the above user.. Installed excerpt scroll which seemed perfect for what I need, but doesn’t work, or pull in any article/category information whatsoever.
Pity, because this is a commercial project and we always donate to the extension developers.
I installed your extensions and it’s very nice, but the page of login in the front-end is not available. I haven’t a ideas for resolve this problem. I hope what you have an suggestion.
Sorry for my english
Thank you
Hi Gopi,
Your plugins are exactly what I needed but I can make the vertical scroll recent article work.
I got articles and their categories published, but when I select a category ID in the option of the module, it scrolls only dots (like if there was nothing to display).
Working with joomla 1.7.3 and I have downloaded the last version of your module.
Thanks.
Hi I like your extensions a lot and have downloaded some, as this one but after configuring it y see only “…” in the recent articles, I’ve seen some people in the comments with same problem, but can’t find a way to solve this.
Thanks for your help.
Hi, te extension is very good but i have the same problem, it show only “…” How can i solve this?
Thanks a lot
I’ve been looking for something like this. I’ll try it. I hope it works for mine, fingers crossed!
Hi,
I love your small tool but it’s impossible to edit or delete messages that are uploaded once.
I combined sce with my news-category and had to do a change due to the layout. So I shortened the article but the changes were not realized.. Even deleting the article didn’t stop sce to show it.
Empty cache neither did.
What can I do?
Installed this mod, which looks great in demo. However, it is not displaying the header/link, or excerpt test. The only thing it displays is the “…” and they are scrolling.
Is there a fix available for this yet?
thank you in advance.
I have the same problem …it only showing “…” and it scrolling up ….
I fixed the problem with the ‘…’ and no content/articles.
In tmpl/default.php: replace function mysql_real_escape_string with mysql_escape_string (lines 30, 32)
When I have done according rn43x working fine but it is not working with multiple ID
peace be with you .
thats work and i shared it for “Vertical scroll recent article”

Hi excellent module,
is there any way to adjust the time for scrolling?
I need to be slower..
I found the solution, it is simple!
In modules / mod_scroll_article_excerpt / mod_scroll_article_excerpt.js
change 10 and 2000 in any number you want in these:
in
setTimeout(“saevsra_scroll();”, 10)
and in
setTimeout(“saevsra_scroll();”, 3000);
i have successfully installed they module and displayed well too but clicking the link doesn’t go to the article. looking to solve the problem

Nice joomla ext., I,ll instal soon. Thank you.
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you have done a superb job with this. In addition, the blog loads very quick for me on Firefox.
Exceptional Blog!
