    • Library Needs Help with Scrolling RSS Feeds

    Posted by seromine posts: 130

    Hello,

    I have a continuing saga of trying to get scrolling rss feeds onto our library webpage. This is a dynamic drive script and can found here...
    http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/rsspausescroller/index.htm

    I originally posted this issue and had people trying to help me use the JS plugin to make this work....I could make no progress with this, so I am now trying others angles to see if I can get something to work.....ultimately this would be the better solution, and so would love to have someone figure out how to use this specific script using the js plugin and share it....

    So, for example, here is me trying something with a module and tags, no matter what, I cannot change the size of the module to show the entire text...anyone can help here?
    http://web1.co.douglas.or.us/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=scrollingrssfeeds

    The code I am using is the following, it appears this forum will not fully display the code, but know that the first part is parenthesis iframe....

    The webpage I am trying to iframe is here (which is just a test) http://web1.co.douglas.or.us/tiki/scripts/rsspausescroller/demo.htm

    I tried using this iframe within the dynamic content portion of tikiwiki...it should up beautifully within the dynamic content portion, but when I tried to use the content id code to display within a wiki page, nothing showed up.....

    been working on this for way to long, and would be very grateful if someone can give me some clues....maybe you can try and use this test url http://web1.co.douglas.or.us/tiki/scripts/rsspausescroller/demo.htm on your own sites and see if you can get it to display somehow......

    anybody else have any experience with using dynamicdrive scripts on tikiwiki? i see someone by the name of colorado at one point had a tikimods site and claimed to be porting some dynamicdrive scripts over....does anyone know any conatct info for this person? anybody have any dynamicdrive scripts ported that I might be able to look at and see if I can use that knowledge to resolve my issue?

    thanks for any help you can provide.....

    Ok, looks like this forum will not except the iframe code, but the code is a one line iframe reference to the url....no other code at all...do I need other code to make it work, div tags or something???? use of a .tpl file????

    The module is constrained by its property in the stylesheet. To make an exception for modules in wikitext, you can add this to your CSS file:

    Copy to clipboard
    div.wikitext div.box {width: 100%}


    The width can also be a pixel size like 400px, whatever you think works best.

    If this can help, to put an iframe in a wiki page, you can use this plugin: mods/wiki-plugins/wikiplugin_iframe. See zukakakina.com/wikiplugin_iframe for an example and the syntax to use.

    The iframe plugin turned out to be an excellent tool which gave me a temporary solution for this issue, but I played around and figured out how to make it work within modules (kinda). The iframe plugin is an excellent tool though, and I know I will be using it in the future....

    The way I got the rssscrollpause script to work within modules is to use the {literal} tags in the correct places. So you have to modify header.tpl within the header portion to the appropriate reference to rsspausescroller.js....

    and then reference the attached text file on how you can put code in the module. I am sure there is a better way to do this, but it worked for me.....
