• For the portion of the script that needs to be in the HEAD section, you'll need to manually edit the header.tpl template.
  NOTE: Do not use Tiki's internal template editor — it will strip out all of the SCRIPT elements.

• For the portion the actual page, you'll need to use the JS plugin:
  
  Copy to clipboard

  {JS()}
  //new rsspausescroller(RSS_id, divId, divClass, delay, linktarget, optionalswitch)
  //1) RSS_id: "Array key of RSS feed in scrollerbridge.php script"
  //2) divId: "ID of DIV to display ticker in. DIV is dynamically created"
  //3) divClass: "Class name of this ticker, for styling purposes"
  //4) delay: delay between message change, in milliseconds
  //5) linktarget: Target of links inside RSS feed. Set to "" for current page.
  //6) optionalswitch: "optional arbitrary" string to create additional logic for formatrssmessage() to use.
  //   By default, optionalswitch supports "date", or "date+description" to also show these parts of a RSS feed.
  
  new rsspausescroller("cnn", "pscroller1", "rssclass", 3000, "_new")
  
  document.write("") //add a divider for demo
  
  new rsspausescroller("dynamicdrive", "pscroller2", "rssclass", 3000, "", "date+description")
  {JS}

HTH,

Thank you so much for your quick reply....

I tried the above and it doesnt look like it is working.....
Here is the url to the page:
http://www.dclibrary.us/tiki-editpage.php?page=scrollingrssfeeds

If I view the source, I believe I have the code in the header.tpl...the code is located at /var/www/tiki/scripts/rsspausescroller/

In the wiki portion, I have the following:

{JS()} 
new rsspausescroller("dynamicdrive", "pscroller2", "rssclass", 3000, "", "date+description")
{JS}

Any ideas?

When I look viewsource on the page, I see the following code in place of the new rsspausescroller command....is all the extra coding in the parenthesis causing the problem, and if so, how do I stop it?

new rsspausescroller("dynamicdrive", "pscroller2", "rssclass", 3000, "", "date+description")

Ooops! Sorry about that, I was trying some different things yesterday and left it on one of my attempts to resolve.....

It is now set to using the js plugin....when I look at the source, I see alot of additional code within the js tags blocks, almost as if it isnt recognizing that it is a javascript block and it shouldnt parse....view the source and search for rsspausescroller and you will see what i mean.....

thanks for your help on this....I, and I am sure many others will learn alot......

I am using a very early version of 1.10......

I tried using the ' instead of " it didnt work but it didnt parse it like it did before....

Allow HTML appears to be enabled.....

JS plugin does work on some level because we use it to call another javascript file like this....

{JS(file="cville.js")}{JS}
