A moving-text element built into YOOtheme Pro

A paid Joomla add-on for sites using YOOtheme Pro that want notices to move across a page.

Its job is to add a scrolling text or ticker element to the YOOtheme Pro Builder, with multiple paragraphs treated as items in one horizontal sequence.

This need appears when a site has changing announcements, opening hours, event notices or other short messages that must remain visible without taking up a full content block. Joomla core can publish the underlying text through articles, Custom modules and other standard content features, but it does not provide a dedicated, configurable animated ticker element. A template override or custom CSS can create a presentation like this, while a general page-builder or ticker extension is the usual route for reusable controls. According to the listing, this add-on goes beyond core by putting the element in YOOtheme Pro and exposing direction, speed, spacing, hover pausing and reduced-motion settings in the Builder.

It is aimed at Joomla teams already using YOOtheme Pro that need several short, continuously moving messages and want them managed as one Builder element. A site using Joomla's standard templates, static notices, articles or a simple Custom module has no obvious reason to install it. YOOtheme Pro is required and is not included.

Before installing, note that this is a paid download, although the listing does not state the price or licence duration. The developer is addons4.pro; the directory page shows one other extension from the developer and no reviews for this listing. It specifies Joomla 5 or 6 and PHP 8.1 or newer, plus PHP Sodium, but leaves unanswered how support is handled, what the licence covers beyond protected updates, and how the element behaves in particular templates or browsers.
