how to pull new element added to an array?
-
ok, so how would I be able to use the corresponding icons/images for the active feed showing if there isn’t any icon data in the rest API?
-
@justjim1220 you have to match up the feed definition (feeds array) with the element in the source response (newsItems array) somehow
the source does not send the icon back
-
that’s because I don’t think the source has an icon to pull from it.
So, is there a way to put the icons in an image folder in the newsfeed directory and pull from there for each corresponding newsfeed?
-
this is how I was able to modify the code to show a single icon and to get it to scroll across the screen

right… you hard coded it…
-
So, is what I am wanting to do even possible?
-
@justjim1220 sure… just have to figure out how to find the feeds entry from the newsItem entry… you MAY/PROBABLY have to add something to the newsItem entries (every one) when they are placed in the newsItem array…
i can’t look at any of the rss code til thursday sometime…

Note that that data is not part of the item. What code moves the xml to the Json object you are accessing?
-
looking at the code on my phone, the fetcher.js needs another method to parse out the source icon.
parser.on("image", function(image){})To set a variable with the icon url,
That u can use in theparser.on("item", function(item)To add the icon url to each item to be able to use it during the display process
