Hi all,
I'm looking to create my first plugin here in GS. It's going to be very simple, just making vTicker available as a plugin to display rolling news on the sidebar, or anywhere in the page. I need some advice, and I have read the plugins wiki, but I'm still not clear on a few bits.
Here is my plan: I will need two files, jquery.js and vticker.php. I will
1. Create a submenu in theme tabs, used for configuring options and news content in vticker.
2. Content of vticker.js will be included into vticker.php as embedded JS. This JS code will need to be placed into header.php when placed on a page.
3. Dynamically, using PHP, to configure options and insert news content.
4. Create tags to place the content of vTicker.
5. Include additional styling options.
I'm having issues at point 2 and 4,
- Point 2: how do I place this piece of code into header.php using the plugin PHP file that I have?
- Point 4: how do I create a tag to be inserted in pages?
Regards,
Angela
