This SharePoint tutorial, we will disucss, how to create a jQuery news ticker using the content search web part (CSWP) to display dynamic data in the SharePoint server 2013.
In the first step, let’s create the Authoring and Publishing Site Collections.

Let’s go and create a control and a template to display the items.
Control Template: It provides the overall structure (layout) of the HTML elements along with start and end tags.
Item Template: It renders the items from the list, and contains text and pictures.
Now, let’s create two display templates for displaying a jquery news ticker control and a jquery news ticker item.
Code – News Control Template
Upload the script and CSS into the style library.
Add the scripts and CSS into the Control template.
<script>
$includeScript(this.url, "~sitecollection/Style%20Library/news%20ticker/jquery.min.js");
$includeScript(this.url, "~sitecollection/Style%20Library/news%20ticker/ticker.js");
$includeCSS(this.url, "~sitecollection/Style%20Library/news%20ticker/ticker.css");
</script>Now, let’s define the HTML layout to the Control Template
<div class="ticker-container">
<div class="ticker-caption">
<p>Breaking News</p>
</div>
<ul>
_#= ctx.RenderItems(ctx) =#_
</ul>
</div>The full code looks like the following.

var siteURL = SP.PageContextInfo.get_siteAbsoluteUrl();
AddPostRenderCallback(ctx, function() {
$.getScript(siteURL + "");
});

</div>
<ul>
_#= ctx.RenderItems(ctx) =#_
</ul>

</div>

</html>Let’s go to the Item template and declare the managed properties and necessary variables.
<!–#_
var siteURL = SP.PageContextInfo.get_siteServerRelativeUrl();
var itemIdx = ctx.CurrentItemIdx+1;
var title = $getItemValue(ctx, "Title");
var desc = $getItemValue(ctx, "Description");
_#–>Render the HTML structure with the list item information.
<!— HTML Goes Here –>
<div>
<li><span>_#= title =#_ <a href="#">_#= desc =#_</a></span></li>
