Aks here support questions about the Plugin Blink.
Check out instruction video here:

Hi,

Great work with this Plugin. But it doesn't work with my Newsflash-Module (Joomla 1.5.22 Stable). Is there any chance to get it working?

Hello,
The newflash module doesn't process plugin code, that's why the text will not blink in the Newsflash-module.
But you can make a small change to the code, and then it will process the plugin code.
This core hack is only for Joomla 1.5 , for higher Joomla versions, use the Custom HTML module.
This can be done by adding the following line to the modules\mod_newsflash\helper.php


add this line:
$results = $mainframe->triggerEvent('onPrepareContent', array (&$item, &$params, 1));

I hope this will help you out,
But keep in mind, if you show an article on your site, together with the newsflash module, only one of the two will blink.

by the way:
This make it also possible, to use the scroller plugins in your newsflash module.

Thank you for the help, but it didn't worked. Now the text between {blink} Text Here {/blink} isn't even displayed . I did as you said and have no other extra plugin's installed.



That won't be the problem, because only the newsflash has to blink.

are you using the build in flash module, or a third party module?
I am using 1.5.22 joomla.

I think that it nearly work, if the text doesn't show, the plugin is doing something.
Are u using unicoded text? please try this:
{blink}hello{/blink}

Problem solved. It was my fault.
My newsflash container has hidden overflow and the blinking text was at the end of the sentence --> script put in a new row --> I couldn't see it.

But thanks again for the help with the newlsflash. That's worth a small donaition

Edit: Now I have the next problem: Joomla doesn't recognize the div-tags. Their displayed as text in the articel/newsflash (But the blink works)

Edit2: Solved this problem, too. Found the HML-button in the article-editor.

thats good news,
thanks for your support.
best regards
