how to pull new element added to an array?

What is the possibility of using and array of sorts?

place the logos in a pics folder, call them according to the newsItem[activeItem].title, Ive seen some examples, and tried it a few different ways, but not sure if I am missing something as I can’t get it to work.

recent example tried:
feeds…

            {
                title: "New York Times: ",
                url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
            },
            {
                title: "Wall St. Journal: ",
                url: "http://www.wsj.com/xml/rss/3_7085.xml"
            },
            {
                title: "USA Today: ",
                url: "http://rssfeeds.usatoday.com/UsatodaycomNation-TopStories"
            },
            {
                title: "BBC World News: ",
                url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml#"
            }

Array…

iconArray: {
            "USAToday": "USA Today: ",
            "NewYorkTimes": "New York Times: ",
            "WallStJournal": "Wall St. Journal: ",
            "BBCWorldNews": "BBC World News: "
        }

Added this to start function…

 this.logo = {};

sample code…

var logo = this.logo;

            if (this.config.showDescription) {
                var description = document.createElement("div");
                //description.setAttribute("style", "padding-top: 25px");
                description.className = "bright xlarge bold" + (!this.config.wrapDescription ? " no-wrap" : "");
                var txtDesc = this.newsItems[this.activeItem].description;
                description.innerHTML = "<img class = image src=./modules/default/newsfeed/pics/" + logo.icon + ".png height=150px valign=middle>" + "<marquee scrollamount=20 scrolldelay=0 left=500px>" + "<font color=yellow>" + moment(new Date(this.newsItems[this.activeItem].pubdate)).fromNow() + "&nbsp; : &nbsp;" + "</font>" + this.newsItems[this.activeItem].title + "&nbsp; || &nbsp;" + txtDesc + "</marquee>";
                wrapper.appendChild(description);
			}

Any chance this could work easier if I had it coded correctly?

Seems Like I should be declaring the

newsItem[activeItem].title

to equal the icon/logo in some fashion…

@sdetweil

ok, just a thought, seen it with a few other modules. Thanks!

@justjim1220 any idea why the newsticker doesn’t work at all?

u don’t have a package.json, so the install instructions for npm install is not needed…

@sdetweil

No, no idea, one of the reasons I uploaded it as a repository, to let you and whoever else wants to gander at it and see what the issues are or could be.

Not sure when you downloaded it, but I made some minor changes to it a few hours ago. just some syntax errors and such.

Nonetheless, still can’t get it to work.

@justjim1220 yeh, I just want to get default behavior working… I have added my code, it should work, just want to test…
