Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
thanks for prompt implementation of features. i am testing now... is it possible to add a feature where the user can right-click on the steaming ticker and exit the app altogether if this becomes necessary (as this feature comes handy in certain cases)?
Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
I'm not sure if that's a feature everybody would need or like, but it is easily implemented.
Look for the lines:
Add RButton up::ExitApp in between so you get:

Code: Select all

Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
does this latest version still export to TickerNews.html (in the script directory) as did the earlier versions?
p.s.: no problem, remembered i had to add a path. it is left blank by default. good stuff!

Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
Don't mean to hijack your thread but maybe you can help me with an issue I have regarding my external LCD monitor. It often blanks out temporarily when an application attempts to display <something>. What exactly <something> is I do not know - that's what I'm trying to find out in order to troubleshoot my monitor. I'm asking you because Ticker throws my monitor into "blanking" like no other app does; my monitor blanks out as soon as Ticker starts running, and it stays out with no remedy. So, does Ticker do something special/unconventional/optimized to create/update its windows? I'm running Ticker on XP.
Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
i am running both GUI and Non-GUI versions (Non-GUI solely to generate tickerhtml file) on XP SP2 and have had no monitor or other bunglement issues so far.

Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
starting a few days ago, script is failing at some feed locations (sites picked randomly for this test). these sites confirmed to fail:
http://www.bondbuyer.com/resources/breaking_news.xml
http://blogs.barrons.com/incomeinvesting/feed/
http://www.bondbuyer.com/resources/breaking_news.xml
http://blogs.barrons.com/incomeinvesting/feed/
Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
Oh boy, here come my questions:
- Which script version are you running?
- What fails? Not a single item from those feeds is downloaded, ever?
- What command do you use to add those feeds?
Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
i am running the latest version with the following segment for this test:
it seems to download the first item, but that is it. if i choose google feed, then it downloads all 10:
Code: Select all
TickerRss.Insert(["http://www.bondbuyer.com/resources/breaking_news.xml", "0xE5E5E5", 10])
TickerRss.Insert(["http://blogs.barrons.com/incomeinvesting/feed/", "0xE5E5E5", 3])
...
Code: Select all
TickerRss.Insert(["http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&topic=w&output=rss", "white", 10])
Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
looks like there was no problem with the code after all! looks like i had messed around with Use Settings and had removed '10' after this line:
TickerRssMaxItemsPerFeed=10
TickerRssMaxItemsPerFeed=10
Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
another discovery regarding the aforesaid apparent issue of presentation of feed items or lack hereof is to increase the TickerRssMaxAgeHours to 48 or greater!
Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
Hi Nextron!
I like very much your RSS Ticker script.
I'm trying to do the following, but it seems complicated. Need help (everybody).
I'm trying to convert your RSS ticker in a notification tool. I've got an script (java) that every x minutes does a number of checks and write the results in a RSS.xml file if the script finds something to remark.
There is only one RSS feed always, it's unique.
If there is no RSS.xml, then transparency ticker bar turns to 0 (invisible)
If there is RSS.XML, then tranaparency ticker bar turns to 255 (visible).
Starting setting TickerTransparancy=0, I'm trying with 'WinSet, Transparent, 255' after 'Gui, Color,%TickerCurrentBackgroundColor%' in TickerSetBackgroundColor(InputColor) funtion, but nothings happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!! and excuse my english

Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
TickerSetBackgroundColor() is probably not the best place the change the transparency as it's called very often but also returns immediately if the background color is unchanged, skipping your code.
How about this: In the function TickerRssUpdate(), after the line feed:=UrlDownloadToVar(value), you add:
WinSet, Transparent, % 255*!!feed (Untested).

Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
Hi Nextron,
Thanks for the great script you've made. I really like it. Altough i got one question. Is it possible in this script to load a local (offline) .xml / .rss file?
Can't seem to get it to work.
Could you help me out?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
Good to hear it's appreciated. I can't test at the moment, but I think if you make the following replacement, you should be able to use local paths as well as URL's (for example: TickerRss.Insert("c:\localfile.rss")):
Replace feed:=UrlDownloadToVar(value) with:
Replace feed:=UrlDownloadToVar(value) with:
Code: Select all
If SubStr(value,1,4)="http"
feed:=UrlDownloadToVar(value)
Else
FileRead,feed,% value
Re: Ticker: An RSS Scroller
