Ticker from DataSet with Filtering

[justinh]

Hi all, I know the original topic linked below is closed, but does anyone have a workaround or update on this?
The ticker gives great flexibility on what to show and how to show it.

This feature to fall back to cache if no items match the query makes sense for RSS feeds, but not so much for a DataSets where a filter has specifically been used. Is there a workaround for this to stop the player using the cached version?
Ideally there would be an option to turn this ON/OFF. I just want to the region to show nothing if there is no data to display (like the Dataset view does).

Thanks,

Justin

Continuing the discussion from Ticker using dataset and filtering but not quite right!:

@Jonathan

I am using a ticker based on a dataset to display current room bookings. The dataset is filtered by an SQL query as follows:

NOW() > startdate AND NOW() < enddate

Where startdate and enddate are the start and end dates of room bookings

However, if no room bookings match the filter criteria, the last room booking that did meet it remains on screen even though it no longer meets the criteria. eg. Room booking finishes at 9pm. After 9pm it remains on screen until the next room booking begins.

I dont think it should do that?

There’s no update because as it stands that is the intended behaviour.

It’s come up a couple of times where people have scenarios that this doesn’t meet, so it could be that we look at making it optional. For that to happen there needs to be a thread in the Features section requesting that (if there isn’t already) and then it will be considered for future development.

Thank you for your reply. I will check if a feature request exists for this and if not I will create one.
