News Ticker

EoF

As a follow up to this, I have not figured anything out. Not sure how to communicate with the other modules yet. I think you’d have to do that in this case. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to help with this one.

@EoF maybe you could just add the featute to the core module as an option instead of creating a new module (@MichMich)?

I was going to ask something similar. I want to have multiple “news feeds” with one being the standard NYT one but also one from say ESPN as well as the RSS feed for my local train MARC. Are there any good “Mirror Designs” for this? Would I just create a new module section, have this placed say in the bottom_left and list the website RSS feed?

@paviro I looked at that as an option, but I don’t really want to go messing with the core modules. I think it would be better to have a new module almost like a “modification” to the core news module.

Yea…maybe I’m not saying it correctly…what I’m suggesting is something like the following. Can I load 2 “newsfeeds” in different locations on the page with 2 different RSS feeds?

module: 'newsfeed', 
 			position: 'bottom_bar', 
 			config: { 
 				feeds: [ 
 					{ 
 						title: "New York Times", 
 						url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml" 
 					} 
 				], 
 				showSourceTitle: true, 
 				showPublishDate: true 
 			} 
module: 'newsfeed', 
 			position: 'SOMEOTHERBAR', 
 			config: { 
 				feeds: [ 
 					{ 
 						title: "MARC TRAIN INFO, 
 						url: "MARC TRAIN RSS FEED URL" 
 					} 
 				], 
 				showSourceTitle: true, 
 				showPublishDate: true 
 			}

                                                title: "CNN: Technology",
                                                url: "http://rss.cnn.com/rss/edition_technology.rss"

                                showPublishDate: true
                        }
                },

Worked like a charm. Thanks!!! I am really loving this MM. I’m not sure if mine will actually work with a real mirror (I have too much text on the screen…lol) but I’m having a great time figuring this out.

Awesome, glad things are working out and you’re able to configure it the way you want to. As for the mirror … you can always get a larger mirror. :)

Hi, is someone trying to make this module? If’ve looked further into it, and tried to rewrite the default RSS feed module to a ticker, however this level of coding is too advanced for me. Can html marquee be used for this?
