Developer Wanted To Modify Default Newsfeed Module

[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,
	}
},

@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 ,
full width . takes a lot of space to display all that and make it readable

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.

@MMRIZE If I include more than one RSS feed, not all of them work.

feeds: [
{
title: “Radio Pacu”,
url: “https://radiopacu.com.ar/feed/”,
},
{
title: “Ambito”,
url: “https://www.ambito.com/rss/pages/ultimas-noticias.xml”,
},
{
title: “Página/12”,
url: “https://www.pagina12.com.ar/rss/portada”,
},
{
title: “La Política Online”,
url: “http://www.lapoliticaonline.com.ar/files/rss/ultimasnoticias.xml”,
}
],

@chelofarias
I think you may have some typo error;

{
  title: “Radio Pacu”, // <-- Wrong quotation marks
  url: “https://radiopacu.com.ar/feed/”, <-- Here also wrong.
},

“ and ” is not valid character for the quotation marks that could be used in JS code.
It should be ".

anyway, for me it works.

@MMRIZE – So to recap, is it the case that all that’s needed to get the pictures to display is to add “showImage: true” to the default newsfeed, or is something more required? If more is required, what would that be?

[MMRIZE]

@JohnGalt
Nothing special. However, some feeds might have non-standard image enclosure, so in that case, image will not be shown.
That module was order-made, so not all the possible cases are considered. If you have some specific newsfeed, tell me the url.

[JohnGalt]

@MMRIZE – Ok, thanks. I had enabled the ‘showImage: true’ and didn’t see images so I was just wondering.

@MMRIZE
Hi, I installed your module yesterday and spent hours trying to get images shown. But no luck, even with the RSS Feeds that worked for users in this thread. Does it still work for you? Is this error known?
Thanks in advance!
