@Frank – In the past I have tried adding alerts to the script just to be sure it is firing. I plan to rewrite this script one day because so many people have had issues with it not working.

I’m having the same problem as @FADI.
I add the code to a CEWP and nothing is shown ,no error, no display. Any ideas how to troubleshoot?

Thanks.

Thanks, Dave! Looks much better now.
One more question: is there a way to make the sliding stop when you click or mouseover, so that people can read without having to go back all the time?

There is a character limit set in the javascript.

var teaserText = teaser.slice(0,500);

This code gets the first 500 characters of the body of the announcement. Just change 500 to a larger number if you want to show more text. Hope this helps.

Hi Dave,

I’m having a little problem: I’ve adjusted the height in the CSS and I can clearly see that there is enough space for at least two more lines, but my text gets cut off in the middle of a row as if there was a maximum number of characters. Do you have an idea what the problem could be?

Thanks
Nicole

@Fadi I have used the SOAP method in environments where authenticated feeds are not supported and it worked fine. Check and make sure the list name is correct in the SOAP envelope. I like using the SOAP/wweb service method but it is very picky and easy to break.

I am wondering what could be cuasing jquery not to run properly on the site when it is referencing internal MOSS lists!

a jquery working with in-code html list items is OK but once i try to load a list via soap, nothing is shown ,no error, no display…

I am thinking that this could be the same issue as RSS/XML webparts not supporting authenticated internal lists!

Thanks

Check and make sure the javascript files are linked up properly. The functionailty you are missing all comes from the javascript files. Is the page showing a Javascript error?

I can’t seem to get this to work on my site. It reads the announcements list fine. But, it displays all of them from top to bottom without the “next” and “previous” buttons and no sliding.

That’s exactly what I was looking for. I was trying to include a Slider script in SharePoint, but it just didn’t work the way I wanted.

This is really cool, because it pulls the data out of an announcement list instead of html code! Thanks!
