- - Add-On Releases - vB News Ticker - Your Blogs RSS Feeds and Forums in a Marquee (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=207432)

This is something that might be doable - but only if this option were the only option (kind of like how the forums option is either ALL forums or selected forums).

Is there a way of changing this from marquee to blinking?

Anything is possible - if you can get it to work. All you have to do is change the template. Find the marquee and change it to what you want. I have tried three or four different types but have had limited success, however, depending on what you want to do it may work. Edit the template and find the marquee - change that to blinking text (whichever you want to use).

Does it display the post Icon as well? I want something that can do that.

No, not yet - but that is going to be part of one of the future updates.

Okay, here is an interesting question

Can you make it so that it refreshes every x seconds (Which I can specify :D)

Also, it won't refresh the whole page, just that particular thing :D

Thanks for this - installed!

Does anyone know how I would need to mod this so that when you click on a ticker item it opens in the existing window, rather than a new one?

Edit: For clarification, I would only like the forum based ticker to open in the same window. If I add RSS ticker items, I would want them to open in a new window.

I tried modifying the plugin and tried changing to target = "self" and Target = "parent" in the thread ticker areas, but that didn't change it to open in the same window.

Code:

$ticker_titles                         .= '<a style="text-decoration:none" href="showthread.php?t='. $ticker['threadid'] .'" title="'. $ticker['title'] .'" target="parent"><font color="#'. $tickcolor .'">'. $ticker['prefix_rich'] .' '. $ticker['title'] .'</font></a> '. $ticksep.'';

Hi David,

Every now and then my site will either crash or crawl so it is unusable.

Most of the time I have put it down to a server blip but I've just had one again and actually called my host and got them to diagnose it while I was on the phone.

They have emailed me with the following error:

Quote:

Our systems admin has had a look at your site and found that it is requesting some xml from

http://www.typicallyspanish.com/news.xml which is responding very slowly, it’s not a load problem with our servers.

poll([{fd=7, events=POLLOUT}], 1, 0) = 1 ([{fd=7, revents=POLLOUT}])

sendto(7, "`\224\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\3www\20typicallyspanis" ..., 42, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 42

poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 5000 <unfinished ...>

You will need to take a look at the code and change that if you want it to run quicker.

Does this mean anything to you? and if it is a problem retrieving a xml feed from a down or slow site is there any code within the plugin to timeout and forget about it until the next scheduled time it checks the feed?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as ever.

I`m using this on vB 3.8.3 to display on index page the latest posts from a news site and it works great so far 10x

Only one little issue: the quotes(") are shown as question marks (?)
