@Ralf if you don’t get anything displayed that means that the rss feed doesn’t have a description specified for the headline, ie no data.
Try the feed from some big news sources. They usually have descriptions specified.
-
@Ralf another thought hits me, is your display horizontal or vertical? If it’s horizontal you might have to change the css a bit
.infoCenter { Top: -400px; }
-
@broberg the display is horizontal, i changed the custom.css
changed the rss feed to BBC and NY Times, same result,
the modul position is “top_bar”, before "bottom_bar,
Unfortunately no change -
@Ralf Okey, sorry for the long time away, I have tested your feeds on my own mirror,
I can’t really find why you don’t get the description,
try this code in your custom.css
.infoCenter { position: fixed; top: 10px; z-index: 10; }
That should make the description appear right on top of the headline.
(I also added a higher z-index value in case something is being rendered above it, but it shouldn’t be) -
@broberg Perfect, works great. The description appear now on top of the screen (module position is bottom_bar), but thats right what i want.
Looks great. Thanks a lot. -
@Ralf Glad it works, even though it doesn’t work as I thought it would!
just a question, are you using another browser to display the MM or is it the built in browser that comes with MM?Since my css code behaves differently for you than it does for me I would really like to know why :D
-
@broberg I’m still using the built in browser that comes with MM.
Strange. -
Well finally got my touch frame up and running and this module is not working for me…
Where are you supposed to touch to get it to work? It’s not working for me :(
-
@cowboysdude the headline is what is clickable, are you using the latest version of MM? 2.1.1?
Is it just the newsfeed you can’t click?
-
@broberg Let me fire it up in a bit and make sure I’m using the correct versions. I just started working on the big mirror again yesterday so it’s likely there is some updating that needs to happen ;)
OK my bad… I should have known better… I built the big mirror software a while ago and just fired it back up yesterday after a couple months… it’s working perfectly!!
Thanks for reminding me to check better next time :)
