Code – News Control Template
Upload the script and CSS into the style library.
Add the scripts and CSS into the Control template.

$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>
