News Ticker

[EoF]

@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 
 			}

                                        }
                                ],
                                showSourceTitle: true,

                        }
                },
                {
                        module: 'newsfeed',
                        position: 'top_bar',
                        config: {
                                feeds: [
                                        {
                                                title: "CNN: Technology",
                                                url: "http://rss.cnn.com/rss/edition_technology.rss"
                                        }
                                ],
                                showSourceTitle: true,
                                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.

[KirAsh4]

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?

[Jeff]

Any update on this?
