In this article, I have explained how to create a jQuery news ticker using the content search web part (CSWP) to display dynamic data in SharePoint server 2013. In the first step, let’s create the, Authoring and Publishing Site Collections.
Authoring Site collection allows authors to manage their website content while the Publishing Site collection reviews the content from the authoring site collection.
Open the Authoring Site Collection. Create a list named “Breaking News” that contains title and Description
jQuery news ticker sharepoint 2013
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 style library.
Add the scripts and CSS into 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.

$includeScript(this.url, “~sitecollection/Style%20Library/news%20ticker/jquery.min.js”);
$includeScript(this.url, “~sitecollection/Style%20Library/news%20ticker/ticker.js”);
$includeCSS(this.url, “~sitecollection/Style%20Library/news%20ticker/ticker.css”);
</script>
<div>
<!–#_if (!$isNull(ctx.ClientControl) && !$isNull
(ctx.ClientControl.shouldRenderControl) && !ctx.ClientControl.shouldRenderControl()){return “”;}
ctx.ListDataJSONGroupsKey = “ResultTables”;
ctx[“CurrentItems”] = ctx.ListData.ResultTables[0].ResultRows;
var siteURL = SP.PageContextInfo.get_siteAbsoluteUrl();
AddPostRenderCallback(ctx, function() {
$.getScript(siteURL + “”);
});
_#–>
<div class=”ticker-container”>
<div class=”ticker-caption”>
<p>Breaking News</p>
</div>
<ul>
_#= ctx.RenderItems(ctx) =#_
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Let’s go to 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>
</div>
Overall Item template code looks like the following.
<html xmlns:mso=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” xmlns:msdt=”uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-
