      @justjim1220 Deleted directory and did the git pull && npm. Now NewsFeedTicker isn’t working at all. It’s in config.js and looks just like it did before.

        @justjim1220 Jim, nevermind. I got it working. Helps to put it in the modules directory. Looks great! Thanks for all your help. Now to see what else I can break. Need to learn more about how to program this stuff.

          Glad you figured it out! :slightly_smiling_face:

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

            @justjim1220 Quick question, would you know if there is a news feed for the Harvard Bussness Review?

              It looks like you have to be a subscriber to the site

                  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…

                        What do you think? If it’s not working in your module then something is wrong with your module…

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

                            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

                              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

                                @dgregory19 Yes it will work. If you have any issues please let me know I’ll be happy to help.

                                  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!

                                    Just a small gif to show it works :) SO … you can use either rss or xml … The stock newsfeed module will also do the same…
