Yes, Talk to cowboysdude about this as he knows more about all this than I do

Yes, I realize that your question was asked in reference to the module I created and not to any other module

But apparently, even though it doesn’t work in my module, I am wrong to misinform you with the answer I gave you

No, I did not test it in any other module, because the question was regarding this module.

As I said, I will look into why it is not working in this module and I will let you know if I get it working.

Thanks for your interest and I do apologize for any inconveniences I may have caused anyone!

Apologies for the misinformation regarding your question

Although this question seemed to be in regard to this certain module, apparently, it does not work for some reason within this module.

I will look further into this issue and see what would be the difference

Again, I am sorry I gave you incorrect information regarding the feed for HBR

Then there is something wrong with my module I guess

Apologies for the misinformation

I will look into it further

Thanks CBD for the follow-up

I literally in 15 minutes had this working… using an old module I wrote… no css but proof of concept…

@cowboysdude
I found that also, and I could not get it to work
Further research showed you have to be a subscriber to receive the RSS feeds

Really because it seems to work fine for me…in the stock news reader…

Harvard Bussness Review

Yes there is…it’s in xml format and it’s right here:

I have made that mistake many times, probably everyone has at some point I suppose. :winking_face:

No, with the update it is no longer needed, when you do the git pull && npm i it should be fixed to the right size

Thanks for helping me out with this!

Ok, I’ve made some changes.

If you do a git pull && npm i it will give you a warning about the changes made to your js and css files
You can just delete those files, then do the git pull && npm i

OR, you can just delete your NewsFeedTicker directory and re-install it

within the headline: headline.className = "bold small bright"; ****
Change the size from what you have to small. I think I originally had it set to xlarge.

I am working on making this a bit easier.

Apologies!

the font size is changed in the js file. See ****:

 var headline = document.createElement("span");
                headline.className = "bold small bright";  ****
                headline.innerHTML = "<font color= #ffaa00>" + moment(new Date(this.newsItems[this.activeItem].pubdate)).fromNow() + ": &nbsp;" + "</font>" + this.newsItems[this.activeItem].title + "&nbsp; || &nbsp;" + this.newsItems[this.activeItem].description;
                tickerBody.appendChild(headline);

The image size is changed in the css file. See ****:

.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .image {
  position: absolute;
  display: inline-block;
  vertical-align: middle;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  height: 30px;    ****
  z-index: 10;
  background-color: #FFF;
}
