How to Make Newsticker Width Google API

News Ticker, is one of the widgets that can make a web or blog beautify the looka. But its not only one function you can get. Because this widget facility can make your visitors more easy to open your article links on your blog. This newsticker tutorials, I get from Dynamic Drive site.

Because this widget uses scripts that affect the loading page, then I do a bit of a change in placement of the script code in your blog page. Before it, the script must be hosted by yourself, or use the default script provided by original script from Dynamic Drive, then I place it directly on the encoding of the page or without third-party host again.

Okay, we just headed to the scene. The first step, you should get the API key code to your blog first. It's easy, please go to the Google API key Code page , and put your blog address and press the Generate API key. Then automatically your API key will appear. For example as below :

ABQIAAAAUMsU2d40bO1-m8DeADFRexSdupW3UblI5-uymDD3tToJ_XzTzRTHuyVgfpokD8LoL9kqMyn5QmrKKA

When the API key code you've got, please go to the tab edit HTML page element on your blog (no checked needed). Then enter the code below just above the tag </head> :

<script src='http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=your-API-key'/>
<script type='text/javascript'>

<style type='text/css'>
.titlefield{ /*CSS for RSS title link in general*/

.labelfield{ /*CSS for label field in general*/
color:#666;font-size: 100%;}

</style>

After that, replace red code with your API key code, and blue code with a width of widget you want. The next step, open your blog page elements tab, then add gadegt HTML / Java Script with the code below :

<script type="text/javascript">
var cssfeed=new gfeedrssticker("example1", "example1class", 4000, "_new")
cssfeed.addFeed("Title", "http://your-url-link/feeds/posts/default") //Specify "label" plus URL to RSS feed
cssfeed.displayoptions("date") //show the specified additional fields
cssfeed.setentrycontainer("div") //Wrap each entry with a DIV tag
cssfeed.filterfeed(10, "date") //Show 10 entries, sort by date
cssfeed.entries_per_page(1)
cssfeed.init()
</script>

Next, replace the red text with the title and link your blog's url address. Done and please see the result. Hope useful for you and Happy Blogging.
