Hi,
I just installed the WP Liveticker plugin, ’cause I needed a simple ticker with RSS feed. And I needed it within the next hours, so I used this one modified missing functions on my own…
First of all, it works, does what it’s expected to do and is simple to integrate in any sidebar widget (just add shortcode to text box).
My complains:
1.) I’m missing a tag to limit the number of displayed entries (e.g. for sidebar use). Just added 2 lines to load_ticker() function by myself. (usage: [ticker slug 5])
2.) the JavaScript function load_next_posts() throws an error which kills my calendar plugin. – Just commented out the content, works for the moment…
3.) Deletion of posts ain’t work. Ticks moved to trash and removed from trash still appear in file cache.
4.) The RSS-link at the top refers to the comment feed. Any sense?
=> I coded a quick&dirts function, generating an own feed for each ticker (if url “…/feed/ticker/slug” is called) and linked to this.
5.) Why using file storage instead of simply registering a new post-type?
I don’t have the time to write and maintain my own plugin, so I just wanted to share my quick experience.

good idea, but to optimize it
Would be great if this could be a scrolling one-liner, i.e. marquee type thing…
