It seems that I need to create my own module that supports the additional tag.
The “allowed attributes” field is not used in 4.0.12 RssProvider.php
Is that right?
If right, I think that I need to copy
to custom folder and extend it with the additional tag that I need.
In RssProvider.php I am able to modify the tag content and add the new variable to Article.php
Can that be the right way or am I completely wrong?
I have now created a custom module by copying the rss-ticker files and where I added the category tag and some handling of this tag (replacing shortcuts with full names).
The new module is working as needed - yeah!
Now my last problem is that the setting of the durations is not working.
One error I have found is that at the original RSS-Ticker module the settings for cache and image update are not taken from the widget - they are taken from the module settings.
At the custom RSS module that I have added it is the same but additionally the checkbox for “time per item” is not working. The duration for the feed is being taken always.
Unfortunately I am not able to upload a zip of the code, so I just can explain it. Otherwise it would be a very long post…
