RSS Scroll

HI All, I'm using an RSS scroll feed that looks like it hasn't been able updated in a couple of years.

Here it is on Devart:
http://frankm77.deviantart.com/art/Scroling-Rss-Feed-1-2-165532308

The /devart tag wouldn't work, sorry.

It works fine. It defaults to 5 feeds. I want to add at least 9 feeds, but when I try it doesn't work. I've played around with the .ini file for at least an hour. Below is the .ini file I'm using. Any help would be greatly appreciated to get it to work with more than 5 feeds.

Code: Select all

OK, I guess I need to be more specific. The skin I downloaded works fine. It uses 5 feeds. I want to add more feeds.

The 5th feed looks like this:

Code: Select all


[MeasureRSSItem5]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
URL=[MeasureRSS]
Substitute="":"...","&":"&",""":"'","<![CDATA[":"","]]>":"","&#44;":",","&apos;":"'"
StringIndex=11

[MeasureRSSLink5]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
URL=[MeasureRSS]
Substitute="":"...","&":"&",""":"'","<![CDATA[":"","]]>":"","&#44;":",","&apos;":"'"
StringIndex=12

And more down at the bottom looks like this:

[MeterRSSItem5]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureRSSItem5
X=20R
Y=#Y1#
FontColor=#Colour#
FontFace=#FontFeed#
FontSize=20
StringEffect=Shadow
StringStyle=Bold
StringAlign=Left
AntiAlias=1
LeftMouseDownAction=[MeasureRSSLink5]

And I just added a a 6th feed and just copied the above but changed the numbers to 6. Like this:

Code: Select all

[MeasureRSSItem6]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
URL=[MeasureRSS]
Substitute="":"...","&":"&",""":"'","<![CDATA[":"","]]>":"","&#44;":",","&apos;":"'"
StringIndex=13

[MeasureRSSLink6]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
URL=[MeasureRSS]
Substitute="":"...","&":"&",""":"'","<![CDATA[":"","]]>":"","&#44;":",","&apos;":"'"
StringIndex=14

And this...

[MeterRSSItem6]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureRSSItem6
X=20R
Y=#Y1#
FontColor=#Colour#
FontFace=#FontFeed#
FontSize=20
StringEffect=Shadow
StringStyle=Bold
StringAlign=Left
AntiAlias=1
LeftMouseDownAction=[MeasureRSSLink6]

However, I still only get 5 feeds. I've checked every area of the code, but don't see anything that would allow more feeds. I've even experimented changing around values and variables and numbers and strings, etc...So I feel like I'm overlooking something obvious(probably am). Thanks!

Did you change the RegExp in [MeasureRSS]?

You need to add extra chunks of .*<item>.*<title>(.*)</title>.*<link>(.*)</link> to catch the titles and links for StringIndex=13 to StringIndex=20. The following should get the title and link for nine items.

Code: Select all

RegExp="(?siU)<title>(.*)</title>.*<link>(.*)</link>.*<item>.*<title>(.*)</title>.*<link>(.*)</link>.*<item>.*<title>(.*)</title>.*<link>(.*)</link>.*<item>.*<title>(.*)</title>.*<link>(.*)</link>.*<item>.*<title>(.*)</title>.*<link>(.*)</link>.*<item>.*<title>(.*)</title>.*<link>(.*)</link>.*<item>.*<title>(.*)</title>.*<link>(.*)</link>.*<item>.*<title>(.*)</title>.*<link>(.*)</link>.*<item>.*<title>(.*)</title>.*<link>(.*)</link>.*<item>.*<title>(.*)</title>.*<link>(.*)</link>"
