Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add more then one RSS feed at same time?
No, you can add only one RSS feed at a time, this will scroll vertically in site sidebar.

Can I change the Slide Direction?
Yes, 0=down-up and 1=up-down.

Can I customize the all other appearance style?
Yes, Click on the configure button (small down triangle) for the “Announcement” widget and here you can customize all the Announcement front end styles. See screen two.

Why my news content out of range?
In front end widget area, if you see any news content out of area or invisible, it because of height and width of the widget, so you should arrange width and height of the widget in widget configuration area to good look. In default I have fixed width: 180px and height: 100px.

Can I change the scroll manner from vertical to horizontal?
No,

I love this concept, but I get this error message when I try to use the plug-in:
Warning: fopen(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/content/p/a/u/pauldgillin/html/wp-content/plugins/vertically-scroll-rss-feed/vertically-scroll-rss-feed.php on line 52

Can you direct me?

Is there a way to make the rss feed scroll horizontally? I love this plugin but I’d like to change it to scroll right to left, is this easy to accomplish?

Thanks; As I do not use widgets this is great as it allows me to place your code anywhere in a template. One thing though; can it be changed to add a few lines from the post as well (not just the headline)?

Hey, great plug in! Loving it. Just one thing: What code do I change so that it can show more than 1 news at a time? Let’s say 3.
Thanks for the great work!

Those of you that want multiple RSS feeds could try something like Feedroller: http://www.feedroll.com/rssviewer/

Then add that feed to this plugin.

addslashes(htmlentities($title[1][0])
Pretty good work

Hi,

Validation Deprecation:
I replaced type=”Javascript” with type=”text/javascript” in the sections of the .php file.

Is there an edit to get the font color to successfully change from black. Changing the color code displays the “announcement” string instead of feed data.

Thank You

Hi, on mediatemple (or any host that does not allow fopen for remote, this doesnt work..

I replaced:
$f = fopen( $url, ‘r’ );
while( $data = fread( $f, 4096 ) ) { $xml .= $data; }
fclose( $f );
preg_match_all( “/\(.*?)\/s”, $xml, $itemblocks );

With:
$f = wp_remote_get( $url);
$f = wp_remote_retrieve_body($f);

preg_match_all( “/\(.*?)\/s”, $f, $itemblocks );

And its all good now

I love this scroll feed. It lets me connect my blog with my main website. Very nice.

I’m wondering if I can limit the headlines that appear. I have a few headlines that are obsolete, and might just confuse customers with old info. I don’t want to delete the posts from the blog, just prevent the titles from showing up on my feed.

Thanks!
