Ticker to Display RSS with Description and Image

The Archives Help Topics
1

I am new using Xibo, installed that 2 days ago, but the main purpose is for me to be able to use RSS in XML format to display news from RSS XML feeds, that usually comes with and in separate, but I wasnt able to figure how to make text shows up with image in the background, the only way that happened was when the image link came inside the , so, is there any way possible to have it done in the latest version of CMS ? How ?

My feed is a very simple one, see that: http://www3.uol.com.br/xml/midiaindoor/internacional.xml

What I need to grab from it is: and (which contains the link to display the background image).

Thanks for the help !

Hi,

You will want to use following tags:

<title> <description>  <link>

Now, your .xml is not quite right, you can have a look at this example NASA feed http://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/lg_image_of_the_day.rss

You should go to this site https://validator.w3.org/feed/
and try to validate your feed, it will tell you what you need to fix there.

After you are done with all of that, you will want to use ticker module in Xibo, with ‘image overlaid and the title’ template and probably check the ‘override template’ checkbox and add description and/or change fonts etc.

like for example:

[Link|image]

[Title] - [Description]

Optional css will be there for you when you select the template with an image.
