Description Blackketter Dean 2005-06-11 13:46:19 UTC

With the new scrolling code, it should be easier to make the RSS News Ticker do its scrolling to 
complete a full cycle, rather than end abruptly after some time.

This could be tied with bug1054.
should be possible with Triode's ticker patch.  I think he mentioned being able
to keep track of the length of the text used.

Comment 2 Blackketter Dean 2005-06-13 22:24:32 UTC

Triode: what do you think?  Would this be hard to hook in?

Comment 3 Adrian Smith 2005-06-14 11:34:51 UTC

Yep - this is the idea of ticker scrolling mode: scroll on from the right, off 
the left never to be seen again.  With a feedback mechanism to know when all 
text is displayed so it is possible to queue up new stuff at the right time.

Watch this space - I hope to post an updated patch with graphics and text 
support for the ticker later today.  I will include a simplistic mod for 
RssNews, but this needs more work - possibly from Dave once he understands my 
ticker mode [as I haven't spent enough time understanding RSS at present..]

Comment 4 Blackketter Dean 2005-06-18 14:51:08 UTC

triode: any progress?

Comment 5 Adrian Smith 2005-06-19 14:42:04 UTC

See patch on dev list - assuming I get some positive feedback and no major 
issues are found, are you OK for me to commit this? [as its a rewrite/move of 
most of the display code, though I better ask!]

This bug was marked resolved in Slimserver 6.1, which is several versions ago.  If you're still seeing this bug, please re-open it.  Thanks!
