[ANSWERED]Possible to incorporate an RSS...on a control page

Is it possible to incorporate a ticker to display items from an external RSS feed? When on my "Sports Watch" control page, I'd love to have a ticker of college football scores scrolling across the top. Doable?

BTW, I'm attaching a picture of my Sports Watch page, which is still a work in progress. Built using elements from GuijaBoard's Tactical graphics kit. (You can buy all the graphics for use in a single project for $100.)

Re: Possible to incorporate an RSS ticker on a control page?

It's not possible in Indigo control pages in the way you describe. But there's a couple possible work arounds.

You can create a page with iFrames and have the scroll driven outside Indigo.

Another possibility is to load the scores into an array using Python, and then have a script which updates a variable every X seconds with the next score.

Last option is to find an HTML element online which is an animated graphic; but I suspect that you might have trouble finding such a thing.

Good luck!

There is a feature request already to add some kind of scrolling list control. No idea when we'll get to it though given the already long list of requests... ;)
