@MMRIZE said

Give me your target feed. I’ll check

I’m trying two modules out:
MMM-anotherNewsFeed
MMM-NewsFeedTicker

the configs and css are identical (bottom_right and new feed sources

config.js

{
module: "MMM-anotherNewsFeed ",
header: "ANOTHER News Feed",
position: "bottom_right",
config: {
feeds: [
{
title: "New York Times",
url: "https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml",
customLogo: "NYT_logo_rss_250x40.png",
},
{
title: "CBC World",
url: "https://www.cbc.ca/webfeed/rss/rss-world",
customLogo: "CBC_140x140.png"
},
{
title: "BBC World News",
url: "https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml",
customLogo: "bbc_news_120x60.gif",
}
],
showImage: true,
showSourceTitle: true,
showPublishDate: true,
broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
broadcastNewsUpdates: true
					
}
},		
{
module: "MMM-NewsFeedTicker",
header: "News Feed Ticker",
position: "bottom_right",
//classes: "day_scheduler",
config: {
feeds: [
{
title: "New York Times",
url: "https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml",
customLogo: "NYT_logo_rss_250x40.png",
													},
{
title: "CBC World",
url: "https://www.cbc.ca/webfeed/rss/rss-world",
customLogo: "CBC_140x140.png"
},
{
title: "BBC World News",
url: "https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml",
customLogo: "bbc_news_120x60.gif"
}
]
}
},	

custom.css

.MMM-anotherNewsFeed. {position:relative}
.MMM-NewsFeedTicker. {position:relative}

@greedyvegan newsfeedticker designed to be bottom bar , full width . takes a lot of space to display all that and make it readable

[MMRIZE]

@greedyvegan

Even though MMM-AnotherNewsFeed was not updated for 2 years, it still works.

{
	module: "MMM-anotherNewsFeed",
	header: "ANOTHER News Feed",
	position: "bottom_bar",
	config: {
		feeds: [
			{
				title: "New York Times",
				url: "https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml",
			},
			{
				title: "CBC World",
				url: "https://www.cbc.ca/webfeed/rss/rss-world",
			},
			{
				title: "BBC World News",
				url: "https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml",
			}
		],
		showImage: true,
	}
},

thank you, copied and pasted your code and it’s working.

@MMRIZE Since more than one user is using MMM-AnotherNewsFeed, would it make sense to add it to the list of 3rd party modules? :slightly_smiling_face:

@sdetweil said newsfeedticker designed to be bottom bar ,

I totally understand what you’re saying, but:

• some news articles only have seven words in their event
• every newsfeed does not display an image

is there a way that I can force the module to remain and not animate/blink, so the background is always visible?
And can I force the article to be on the right side of the article image whether it is displayed or not?

forgive me, I’m still learning, is that the display: block/flex/inline or margin:left/right % px?

@KristjanESPERANTO
Maybe. :) I’m so lazy. hahaha… To be honest I have been forgetting this module until now.

[sdetweil]

@greedyvegan you are showing @MMRIZE module. newsfeedticker is different

[greedyvegan]

@sdetweil

agreed. I’ve scrapped the newsfeedticker, I like his module better

[KristjanESPERANTO]

@MMRIZE Okay 😀 I just added it to the list.
