AJAX/RSS News Ticker

[Rapodo]

It works here with IE8, Firefox and Chrome.

I get an error on page using internet explorer and will not even show up. So how have you made yours work ? And have you tryed any external rss feeds ?

---

I don't mean internal feeds like latest threads I mean feeds like BBC news and weather feeds etc

[Sammyed]

As I mentioned before, what I changed was:

1.- Compatibility in the rssajaxticker file
2.- Date format in the bridge file
3.- Moved the {$ajaxticker} to index template.

My F1 feeds are coming from yahoo! sports in spanish.

What kind of error message are U getting?.

Try uploading again the jscript, there it says it should work with IE 5.5+

Is there any chance you can post a link to your site, im running windows 7 64 bit and quite often get stupid errors on internet explorer, i tryed it with yahoo pipes but could not got any feed to come through. Ill try again brb

Sure, try opening it with IE and tell me if you see any error. This might help me also as a feedback.

You got it working fine on yours, well strange, ive not got a clue about how to change

2.- Date format in the bridge file
3.- Moved the {$ajaxticker} to index template.

Dunno why i cant get this working, all is is fine except manky internet explorer.

Oh well i give up lol

---

I notice the user Monaco had the same problem

---

What version of my bb are you running?

---

is there any chance you can upload a copy with your changes you made to the bridge file, i cant see adding it to index will make much difference?

---

Is anyone able to do a walkthrough the changes Sammyed made to this mod to get it to work?

[Sammyed]

Man,

1.- My board is set for 2 languages but my fellow forumers there are mostly spanish speaking ppl. The way the original bridge file shows the date it goes like this, for example February 25, 2011.

As I don´t need to have the month to be shown in english, so in the bridge I changed whatever it was on there into this:

$rss->date_format = 'm-d-Y g:i:s A'; //date format of RSS 

So I have numeric month, but honestly I don´t think this has something to do with IE.


2.- If you plugin is active, in your header template you should have {$ajaxticker} somewhere in there. Just remove that from there and save the file. Then go to your index template and paste it above where it says {$forums} and save it. I´m not sure if this has something to do with IE, all I know is that the ticker loads only at index instead of every single page of the board minimazing server performance.


My current Mybb version is 1.6.2 and yes, i can send you the bridge file if you give me some email address or if you enable PM messaging here.

Thanks for your input there, tryed it all, but still wont work, I guess it must be conflicting with another addon, ill have to make my own ticker, i wanted it to replace the feeds i have got in the top of my site found here
http://www.themovingplanet.com and use yahoo pipes for multi feeds, ah well back to the drawing board!

[thnok]

Does this work on mybb 1.6?

[Rapodo]

Yes this works for 1.6 just change compatability from 1.4 to 1.6 had problems to start but turned out to be a faulty theme but now works flawless for me.

---

OK Now ive just this minute found out it wasnt my theme doing this problem now. It is in fact because i have been putting my description and meta tags in my index folder. Now for some WEIRD reason this is causing the mod to fail in internet explorer. WHY on earth would this cause the mod to fail with having my tags in my index template? As soon as i took the tags out the mod worked fine on internet explorer! How can i work this one out!???

[Rapodo]

Still not been able to work this out soon as I add tags into headerinclude or index this stops the rss ticker from workinging, anyone have any idea why ?
