how to pull new element added to an array?

@sdetweil

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?

[sdetweil]

@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

[justjim1220]

@sdetweil

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?

@sdetweil

this is how I was able to modify the code to show a single icon and to get it to scroll across the screen

@sdetweil

So, is what I am wanting to do even possible?

[sdetweil]

@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…

@sdetweil

Is this what I am looking for?

[sdetweil]

Note that that data is not part of the item. What code moves the xml to the Json object you are accessing?

[sdetweil]

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 the

parser.on("item", function(item)

To add the icon url to each item to be able to use it during the display process
