Ticker Template override not changing font size

The Archives Help Topics
1

I can’t seem to get the override to change the font size of my RSS feed. I’ve changed fonts, sizes, looked at the RSS feed, and still nothing pops out at me. Any help would be appreciated. The feed is http://www.rmalife.net/test.xml

Does the change in font size show up in the Layout Preview

Alex,
The font never changes for the content, but he title field does change if I alter that size. I’m using version 1.7.4, and the 1.7.4 client on a Windows 8 desktop.

Both the content type and description type display the content from the feed, so I tried using both as well.

Thanks

Does it work with a different feed. http://xibo.org.uk/feed for example?

Alex,
If I use the Description field, yes it changes. Is there something in my feed, perhaps a tag that needs to be removed?

Thanks

Ideally the feed wouldn’t have any HTML formatting in it at all.

To try and see what’s happening, load your feed in the Player with the mouse enabled in the Player settings (set via the CMS in a settings profile) and then right click on the feed and view source. That should show you the raw HTML being rendered and hence why it’s not working properly.

Nothing is jumping out at me.

This is the begging of the section that is not changing size:

\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:72px;\"><div><div><div><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<table><tbody><tr><td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Scheduling Update<\/strong><\/p>

That’s the correct font and size, but it’s not displaying at 72px.

Your content is in a table so the formatting we apply won’t take effect.
You need to remove the table formatting from the feed for it to work

Alex,
After much hassle, I finally got most of the formatting removed. It seems to be working now. Thanks for your help.
