Hello,
I am having an issue. I’m trying to load a rss feed as a ticker. The feed is http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss. I’ve tested it in the ticker validator, so I have to assume it will work.
I’m using the Windows client:
Duration is 10.
Appearance: Template : prominent title with description and name separator.
Format:
Speed: 2
Text Direction : RTL
Number of items: 20
Items per page: 1
As it stands now, I cannot get the region to even display. Nothing comes shows up in that region. I’ve thought that maybe the color of the text is the same as the background, so I changed the background color a few times and still can not see any indication that that region is populated.
Any help would be appreciated.
I’ve already been helped slightly in a separate thread, but now I have a new question regarding RSS feeds.
Which part is responsible for pulling in the RSS feeds? Is it the CMS or the client? The one think I can offer as to why this is failing is maybe because my CMS host is isolated from the outside world. I cannot view the RSS feed webpage from that host. But, the client does have access to the feed. So I’m not sure which is correct for this situation.
