@Bolovai love this… Will definitely be using in my mirror.

Great job by the way. Looks amazing

@Bolovai I’ve got the module working. I’m really new to this… When I’m reading the wiki. I look at the config and config sample… But I can’t see anything about the logo…

I’m using pages and interested in settingnup two different news feeds one for the BBC and one for sky sports and the way you have it configured is exactly how I’d like it to look.

Would love any help you can give

Bolovai

@jste84 Sure NP.

In the Readme in the “Other Info” section you should see this part describing this:

can add as many feeds as you like.
to change or add feedsources… you need to make sure the site can be linked

*** At this point, you need to download the website logo and place it in the pics folder within the
MMM-NewsFeedTicker directory. Then put the name of it in the config for ‘customLogo’
(see config example above)

So for example if you are adding Sky Sports, go to their site find a logo and save it as ‘skylogo.jpg’ or whatever the format it is. Then make sure that image is added to the pics folder and referenced in your module config. So for your entry for Sky Sports it would be something like this:

	{
		title: "Sky Sports",
		url: "http://www.XXXXXX.com", -> whatever the rss feed is for Sky Sports goes here.
		customLogo: "skysports.jpg"
	},

Hope that helps.

Hey Guys

I realized my pic was a crappy low quality image so I just took a screengrab from the Pi which shows the MM in all its glory. Also added the Moon Phases mod I was missing.

Enjoy:

@Bolovai thank you. I’ve got it up and running with both.

Changed the pics, speed and font size too.

I’ve not got it quite behaving how I want. As it seems to not show the whole RSS for each story. And once it competes a story rather than go on to the next it repeats the same one…

Thinking there must be a way to change that too.

@Bolovai A fellow Canuck! greetings from the east coast!

@cyberphox
Indeed good sir!! I wonder how many Canadians are on here.

@jste84 I believe thats an issue with the mod itself. It was already brought up as a bug to the developer. I see the same thing. Part of the description gets cutoff and it tends to repeat some headlines before switching to the next headline / source.

@Bolovai good to know it’s not just my config. Would be great if it stayed current when you use fixed in MMM-pages too… But it looks great… So small complaints 😂
