I would like to use Methys-styled JA Newsticker module in Portfolio (Joomla 1.7).
How can I do that?

Well . . . Right off the bat I can tell you that it is going to involve some css code modification and “borrowing” of any “Methys specific” images that are called upon for the styling of the particular module – though, there really isn’t a whole lot for the newsticker, is there.

If I wanted to do this – and make it a learning experience at the same time – what I would do is download the JA Methys template files (most likely the quickstart files) as well as create a temporary demo site using the Demo Builder (so I could see the active module configuration settings within an active administration Module Manager).

I would then figure out which files are involved with the Newsticker module and proceed to “transfer” (or, perhaps a better word may be “clone”) over the relative code elements over to my Portfolio template files – making sure the “clone” code is being placed in the correct files.

Make sense?

I have downloaded JA NEwsticker, placed at TOP, transferred mod_janewsticker.css from Methys, transferred 3-related images and it is DONE.
Thanks.
