Hi there,

There isn't a shortcode for the ticker, but you can try pasting the same HTML markup in the post content area - just make sure you're on the "HTML" tab when you paste the raw HTML.

Hope that helps!

*The link in your post leads to google homepage...

Sorry I'm not sure I'm getting the point here :(

If you can provide more details, thanks!

If I tried exactly what you meant in your post and it doesnt work, well thanks anyways :)

Hey there, actually you should be able to accomplish this by replacing [ticker goes here] with this: $1250000

Insert your number in it's place. That SHOULD call the exact same ticker, though I haven't tried it outside of a Widget. Let me know if it works or if you have any issues.

Thanks,
Justin

Hi.

On the front page of my site, I have a map (google maps plugin) doing the full width of the page, with no widgets. I use a full width template for my front page. The map has to be full width to display correctly zoomed, and this is also a personnal choice for the campain visibility.

While on all other pages of the site, I have right-side widgets with the ticker and some other text widgets, on the front page there is no widgets bar and I dont want one (to keep the big map)

I still wish to use the ticker on my front page, and intend to put it just above the map (between the menu bar and the top of the map).

I will also put some other links and labels above the map next to the ticker.

MY QUESTION: Is there a shortcode in the template for the ticker or can you give me a clue on what to insert in my page content to have the ticker. If possible, I would like to be able to align it in the center of the page. That is because I will use a 3 column display above the map.

=====================MENU BAR========================================

SOME TEXT AND LINK-------[ticker goes here]-------SOME TEXT AND LINK
SOME TEXT AND LINK-------[ticker goes here]-------SOME TEXT AND LINK
SOME TEXT AND LINK-------[ticker goes here]-------SOME TEXT AND LINK

=====================MAP container===================================

Is there any quick way to manage this? If this is too complicated, just let me know and I'll look it up myslef, I just don't have much time for now and though maybe there's a [shortcode] for this already, or you could make one real fast :)

Thanks for the FREE support. It is appreciated.
