Hi, we just got the plugin. The tweet links don’t work for the Twitter version (has #1 inside the URL that redirects to the main Twitter page rather than the tweet page). Please advice.
I am looking into it now to see if there have been any Twitter API changes.
By the way, I saw that you purchased the WP plugin version. Just fyi, this is the comments of the jQuery plugin version.
I have tested on my end and everything works well for me. Can you give me a link to your page so I can look over the ticker on your side?
Hello, I am just curious about the CSS conflict with bootstrap. I was using some different script which has bootstrap in it, and found out that when bootstrap.min.css is present, the text become aligned top, which should be shown in the middle (center). Other than that, it seems fine. Everything else works OK. Please let me know how I can make them work together. Thanks,
If there is any Bootstrap CSS that affects the ticker, all you need to do is overwrite it in the ticker CSS code. If you can link me the page, I can tell you exactly what you need to do.
For example, for the vertical alignment of the news items, you will need to apply “vertical-align: baseline” to the “li” elements, as so:
.mt-news li {
vertical-align: baseline;
}
Thanks, I got that.
Please let this be seen on comments. Since my last post I see that there are 2 Modern News Ticker downloads. One is for WP, which is the one I wanted. Somehow I ended up with the wrong one, the price difference being only 2 dollars. I want to be fair on the developer as the product does look good, otherwise I wouldn’t be interested in getting it. I feel like I may have over-reacted, and I have no wish to leave a negative impression on others interested in buying this product. I only request that I be allowed to pay the $2 difference so I can immediately get the correct download. Thank you for your understanding of my obvious frustration, which probably has nothing to do with your product.
It is no problem, I understand that purchasing something by mistake can be frustrating. But it is no issue, we can easily fix it with the refund system.
The marketplace has no option to pay the difference and switch the project version. I have simply accepted the refund request for the jQuery version and you will get the full purchase amount back. If you still wish, afterward, you can purchase the other version. There is no obligation.
I am not exactly sure how long it takes Envato to refund the money but I have already accepted the refund request on my end.
For anyone following this thread, all’s well that ends well. Just be careful to get the WP version that I saw on original page search. On a second search I ended up getting the wrong one (no fault of developer0. So you can be sure that I’m an over careful buyer and believe me when I say after getting the right version that it’s a fantastic product and well priced! Go for it!
URGENT Can you please provide immediate help how I can instal this item on my WordPress site. This is the very first time that I’ve had this issue through Envanto as I’ve always used their plugins with WP, and there was absolutely no clear message otherwise about your product.
Please allow more than 5 minutes between messages and I will gladly help you.
Again,you accidentally purchased the jQuery version instead of the WordPress version.
It is clearly mentioned on the description page that this is the jQuery version and that a WordPress version is also available and the supplied link.
I will accept your refund request. If you wish to purchase the WP version, you can find it here: Modern News Ticker for WordPress
Hi, this is the very latest post from me. I just got your recent reply and gladly accept your proposal both to give a refund and also that I should buy the WP version that I’m doing immediately. Please feel free to post this comment in public if it helps to balance my previous comment while in a state of frustration. Looking forward to using your product and giving a fair review accordingly. Thanks!
I’m pretty upset as I can’t use this plugin on my wordpress site after I just purchased it. I now see ‘several’ posts from other upset buyers who did the same. So why is there no clear message for potential buyers warning them of this problem? Going through a refund process really sucks, big time! It’s a very negative user experience!
You accidentally purchased the jQuery version instead of the WordPress version.
On the description page it says:
“This is the jQuery plugin version of the news ticker. A WordPress plugin version is also available here.”
I will accept your refund request. If you wish to purchase the WP version, you can find it here: Modern News Ticker for WordPress
I’m sorry it is a negative experience for you but if you don’t read the project description and purchase the wrong version, it’s not really my fault.
Thank you, your kind reply arrived ‘after’ what I wrote below. I admit that I’ve been frustrated by this, and take responsibility for my action. How can I purchase the WP version just by paying the $2 difference as I don’t want to upset my wife!
It’s all good, don’t worry about it.
There is no option on the marketplace to pay the difference and switch the project version. I have accepted the refund request and you will receive the full purchase amount back to your account. Afterward, if you wish, you can purchase the other version.
It depends on Envato how long it takes them to send the money. I have accepted the refund request on my end, now it’s up to the Envato staff to make the refund.
1) Is there a tutorial or examples, explaining how to enter my own content on Modern News Ticker 2) Can I change text color. 3) Can I place symbols or media images instead of text? Thanks
1. Yes, there are several template files that show examples of content, which you can modify to add your own.
2. Yes, you can change the text color from the theme CSS file.
3. You can place symbols. You can also place images but you might need to resize the ticker if the images are bigger than the standard ticker size. You can resize the ticker from the main CSS file.
Thanks for your helpful reply. Is it possible to make a text color change on css that will only be used for one type of ticker news item? Also do you have any documentation showing where I make that change? Thanks again, and that’s all I need to know before deciding to buy.
Yes, you can make the color change through CSS. You can have a custom CSS style on the page that will change the color of only the current ticker.
There is no specific documentation for this but it is a basic CSS color change.
A new update was implemented, version 2.2 is live:
-
As Yahoo recently shutdown the YQL service, the “YQL” load process type for RSS feeds was removed.
The “rss2json” load process is now the default one for RSS feeds and the “self” load process is also available as a backup.
As backward compatibility, if the ticker has the load process set to “YQL”, it automatically defaults to “rss2json”.
Did you update the ticker JS file? The rss2json link was changed to “https” some time ago.
No, I didn’t yet. Could you kindly send me a link to the new file? Thanks,
Thew new files are online, just download the project archive again. And take the new JS file from the “Main/modern-ticker/js” folder and place it on your ticker files.
When testing on your page, make sure to press Ctrl+F5 to clear the cache and refresh the make, to be sure the new file is loaded and not the old one from the cache.
Thanks, I did the upgrade from jquery-1.11.0.min.js to jquery-3.3.1.min.js and cleared Chrome browser cache but still not compatible with HTTPS:
<!- Start ticker assets code ->
<link href=”modern-ticker/css/modern-ticker.css” type=”text/css” rel=”stylesheet”>
<link href=”modern-ticker/themes/theme5/theme.css” type=”text/css” rel=”stylesheet”>
<script src=”modern-ticker/js/jquery-3.3.1.min.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<script src=”modern-ticker/js/jquery.modern-ticker.min.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<!- End ticker assets code ->
Thanks it’s working fine now after tweaking the jquery.modern-ticker.min.js to change http://api.rss2json.com/v1/api.json to https://api.rss2json.com/v1/api.json as per a previous comment on page 10 here. This is really an excellent ticker with superb support even for those who purchased it some years ago!
Now that Yahoo APIs are retired, what’s the plan to replace? Just purchased this plugin and it’s dead right now. https://developer.yahoo.com/yql/
The RSS feed still works, the ticker has implemented 2 processing services: YQL and rss2json.
Just set “loadProcess” to “rss2json” in the settings during the ticker build call.
If Yahoo retired the YQL service, I will remove it as an option and search if there is another service that I can add as a backup to the rss2json option.
Awesome – that works! Look forward to another additional service to act as a backup.
Hi I have checked in your creation News Ticker , looks good and you are supporting it too.
Well my website is www.kumbhindia.in I want to put a New Ticker on it. Please suggest if your product will work over this – it is html/bootstrap. What shall be the source for news ? Would you do a bit customisation too- I need News Title -scrolling and on click a detail in MODAL. Please respond.Thanks
Raaj
The ticker should work well in an HTML/Bootstrap site. What is needed to integrate it is to add the ticker HTML code and the RSS and JS files to the page.
The news items can be added directly in the HTML code (as <li> elements) or they can be loaded from an RSS file, a JSON file or from Twitter.
When clicking the news items, there is only the option to open a link, there is no modal option. But, if you already have Bootstrap on the page, you can use JS to capture the clicks on the news items and open the detail text in a Bootstrap modal.
If you need any help with the modal customization, contact me at creativetier@gmail.com
Hello, Can i use modern-news ticker in a paid wordpress theme?
Yes, but make sure you buy the WP plugin version, this comments page is from the jQuery plugin version.
Thank you for your response.
And what about this version? can i implement this jQuery plugin version in a theme that is not a wordpress?
With the jQuery plugin version, you have to be able to add the HTML code and the CSS and JS files to your page and it will work.
So sorry, I think you misunderstood me and it is totally my fault.- I meant to ask if i have permissions to implement this jquery plugin in a theme which i am selling in marketplace, so what are the requirements for that
.
Oh, I understand what you mean now. For that, we have to discuss a licensing fee and after you pay that, you can use it in your theme.
Let me know which version you want to use, the jQuery plugin or the WP plugin and I will let you know the licensing fee.
You can send me a private message from my profile page.
Hello.
When we set and “https” URL from a feed to be processed by rss2json.com we get the response data from http://api.rss2json.com/v1/api.json?rss_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.com%2Ffeed but it must be from https://api.rss2json.com/v1/api.json?rss_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.com%2Ffeed (note that the difference is “https” instead of “http” for the “api.rss2json.com” domain). If not done like I say, we get a not secure site alert because of mixed content in websites using a SSL certificate: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mixed-content-blocking-firefox#w_what-is-mixed-content-and-what-are-the-risks
Can you check this, please?
The rss2json link was changed to “https” for some time. Make sure you download thew new files and get the updated js file.
Ouch! You’re right, sorry.
hi, can blogspot blogger use your news ticker ?
I haven’t worked with Blogger. You can research if you can add a jQuery plugin to it (meaning HTML code and JS and CSS files).
If you can, then you can add the ticker as well.
Hi Thank you for a nice ticker please I prefere to load RSS data without date and hour it’s possible to load only the title . Thank you very much
Hi. I have received your email. I will message you back with a modification to the ticker JS file so that it displays like you requested.
Good afternoon, we bought the HTML version. We need 2 tickers in the same page, one with only the title, the other with title AND description.
How can we do?
Thanks
Are you referring to the RSS feed? There is no way to add the description field as well but you can send me a private email using the contact form on my profile page and I can make a quick customization for you.
Hi – Just purchased your RSS plugin. However, all I am able to view in the ticker is the title of the feed. I need to display the description. How can this be done.
Thanks
Hi. Send me a message using the contact form on my profile page and I will reply with customized file for you so that the ticker displays the description instead of the title.
Hi, I would like to find out if the Modern news ticker can display 2 rows of text for each news item? I want to reduce the ticker width by half, and create a line break within each news item. I can’t get the ticker height any bigger.
The ticker was not designed to work with multiple lines. But, CSS modifications can be made for the news text to display on multiple lines, as long as the effect used is not the scroll effect but one of the other effects. Let me know if that works for you and I can point you in the right direction about what to do.
Hello.
I am getting the following error when I click “Update” after making changes to my tickers:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /.../public_html/wp-content/plugins/modern-news-ticker/modern-news-ticker.php on line 917
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /.../public_html/wp-content/plugins/modern-news-ticker/modern-news-ticker.php:917) in /.../public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1216
Thank you for your help in solving this.
To clarify for people reading through the comments, this is about the WP version of the ticker. This is the message board of the standalone jQuery version.
Regarding your comment, did you replace the old plugin file with the new one that I sent you over email?
My apologies. It is in regard to the WP plugin. In my haste, I posted this message in the incorrect forum. I can contact you through the correct forum for further assistance if you prefer. I did delete the old file and upload the new file.
The new file should have fixed the problem. Is it possible you are using a cache plugin that makes the old file still be loaded?
I would be happy to investigate the problem directly if you can give me temporary access to the ticker admin page. You can use the contact email from the Readme to send any private information.
How to make the news able to be clicked and show popup box to view the full selected news.
The news do not open in a popup. They only display in the ticker with the effects shown on the preview page.
Hi By mistake I purchased jquery plugin instead of wordpress. Though I already bought the wordpress plugin now but is there any chance to get the refund for Jquery plugin?
