RSS Ticker AIticker V1.0
 

This ticker is a java ticker that downloads RSS feed of your choice to your local domain, it downloads the RSS feed in the background (4 times a day),

The ticker displays the information between <title> and </title>

On clicking on the ticker information you are directed to a page on your forum which displays the description of each title.

Each one of these has a link pointing back to your site telling the user to talk about it at a location specified by you.

update:
- applet is now set to low priority, so it doesn?t eat as much memory
- should now display any errors thrown

Installation Instructions are added to the file "Installation Instructions.txt"

This is my fist add on, Ill be updating it so it works better, but you are welcome to use this version for now.

Not thoroughly tested (still in B stage) so let me know of any bugs and ill see what I can do.

This is a free version(9 steps to install), all I request is a link.

yessir!! im using this... i love vb.org!! this is the best hack site... thanks for this one..

Just noticed some problems, have changed the zip file(changed instructions and file names).
Its hard for me to tell all of the steps to get this working since i have already programed it into my site, so its hard to test the steps.

Let me know of problems

does this work on any vb version or just the 3.5.x?

yeah I didnt see one for vb3.6.4 any one confirm this works with it?

It should do but only tested in 3.5.x so far

I'm running 3.62 (or 3) i forget..... its working fine for my site... i had to tell IE7 to enable an addon.. the problem though..... is i put the rss feed link in.. but its still reading the original link...... the hack works great though..

ok that’s because it checks the age of the local downloaded file before updating,(so it wont re-download new feed if this has only been recently downloaded) just delete the file TempRSSFeed.txt and it will update the next time you open the page (ill look into the EI7 add-on)

Ill be updating this applet, It could run allot better (that white background could be avoided), so I will work on this when I have time.

Glad the Instructions weren't too confusing

Great add on

But when i load up the page it either scrolls "dont delete this link....." or just a white box
I have taken the news feed from where you suggested but cant figure out what i'm doing wrong :confused:

Fantastic mod though, and what i've been looking for for ages
