Static element with a scrolling element in the same RSS ticker

Asked by Edson Zabot

Hi, I'd like to maintain an static element and a scrolling element in the same RSS Ticker. Is It Possible? I want to overlap a static shadow image over the scrolling text.

Ticker's code:

<div style="position:relative; top:0px; width:190px; height:142px; z-index:1;">
 <img src="http://localhost/xibo/img/shadow.png" /></div>
<p>
 <span style="font-size:50px; font-family:Clan-Medium; color:#00aeef;"><img src="http://localhost/xibo/img/logo.png" /> &nbsp; [Title]&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>

Many Thanks,

No - it will scroll the whole lot.

You could insert two identical RSS regions, one only showing the <TITLE> tag from the RSS feed (assuming this is your fixed text/picture etc), which does not scroll, and another one showing <DESCRIPTION>, which scrolls in whatever direction you would want it to. This would obviously not result in the RSS feed showing in 1 single line, which might be what you really want.

It'll very likely go out of sync because the Windows client runs in a
single thread, so you'll end up with the wrong title and description
being shown together.

You could do it with the Linux client by drawing another region over
the top of your feed.

Is there a way to do this? On the windows client?

I would like the ABC News logo on the left side while the text scrolls and when I jump to the espn feed have the espn logo with the ESPN feed. I tried two different regions (one with the ticker and one with the image) though I find that they get out of sync.
