Unmaintained [HA] News Ticker 1.3.1

Don't forget to merge out-dated templates, if exists​

Now that the add-on supports Widget Framework, You can show each of them any where you want.

• added an option to latest news ticker to set if the news are Unicode (to fix the spliting problem of Persian and Arabic and other language like them)
• widget renderer for Ticker Me
• widget renderer for JQuery news ticker
• widget renderer for T-Marquee
• widget renderer for Breaking News ticker
• widget renderer for Latest News
• widget renderer for Swift ticker RSS
• widget renderer for Swift ticker Socials
• widget renderer for Swift ticker Custom news
• animation folder removed from package and its links changed in options (now we have online demo)
• All demo Gifs were removed from admin options page. (Now we have online demo)
• Some codes are changed (in parts that you don't have work with them, so don't worry about it) and so, some files are removed from the package (now the size is 2mb - where in previous version was 5.5mb)

• Show date option in T-Marquee now works as it must

If you don't use this option, its not needed to upgrade it for now. 1.0.9 is coming within next 1 or 2 days. and the package size will be less than 200kb then (now is 5mb - because of Gifs).

Fixed RTL issues with Horizontal layout of:

• Swift Ticker - RSS
• Swift Ticker - Socials
• Swift Ticker - Custom News

Vertical layout had no problem with RTL.

This update contains no new feature.
Its just for clarification of my licenses for libraries that I used in my add-on.

It seems there was a question with some users that if I have appropriate licenses for libraries (like Swift Ticker, Breaking News Ticker, and other designs) that I used in my add-on or not?

The Answer is YES! Some of them are free to use and everyone can use it in their products and some of them are paid libraries (like Swift Ticker and breaking news ticker ... or any thing in future). I have CodeCanyon Extended License (and even always a regular license with them) for anything I use.

So, I always purchase appropriate license for libraries that I use. And you can use it easily. (Of course you can't use them in your other projects. Those libraries are for my add-on and Just one commercial product can be made by it. and its my add-on. if you want to use them in your add-on then you should purchase extended license from CodeCanyon for each of them)

I also sent all needed info to @Chris D to clarify anything and he checked it. I'll be ready to Re-Clarify to them any time they want. Although its not needed at all.

This is an awesome super update that I think will fit all your needs. A new design is added to tickers called "Swift Ticker" that has 3 parts:

• Swift Ticker - RSS
• Swift Ticker - Social
• Swift Ticker - Custom News

You can combine them, or you can use them separately. In each way, you are free to use them all together everywhere you want.

Just like other Ticker in my add-on, this new design has:

• enable/disable in Mobile
• Positions
• Activate/Deactivate ticker

Of course in RSS and Socials you are free to combine them (so in RSS you may also use Socials and in socials you may also use RSS of sites) But I made two separated tabs so that you be able to have both of them together for different reasons.

A full documentation is ready to use in add-on's options page.
So, don't worry about too many features. Its so easy to use​

Lets see what features Swift Ticker has:

• Be able to add unlimited RSS of any sites.

Also some Tips and Tricks is in documentation in Swift Ticker - RSS tab in Ticker's option page that you can use them to have better result.

Although its better to use it to see how it looks and works, but I provided some Gifs, so that you see some of the features:

added:

• demo of different parts of Latest News:
  • Animations
  • Speed
  • Stagger
  • Order
  • Element

Upload all files manually in your sever. A new folder called "animations" is added. Then import the XML.​

Fixed:

• Tickers were not showing in any place but dedicated page (now works in all positions)

Sorry for inconvenience. As I said in resource description, I had no plan to add features to this add-on, because of the reasons I said. But I did and doing it for now that I have a little free time. And so, these kinds of mistakes happens. Specially when I'm doing a lot works with together.
Hope you enjoy the add-on.

Fixed:

• Breaking news ticker doesn't show feeds in sites using https. (Now it works as it must.)

After upgrading, if there was any outdated template, merge changes.
Thanks @katsulynx and @wang for your help when I was creating page​

changed:

• now you can activate multiple tickers, each in any place you want (see Gif attached)
• first tab in option page changed to help tab. (see Screenshot attached)
• choosing enabled ticker removed from first tab (now in each tab you can easily activate its ticker)

added:

• Dedicated page to show all tickers (or each one you want) on it (your-site.com/newsticker)
• Navigation tab for dedicated page
• style property to change the color of title of breaking news ticker
• permissions for seeing navigation tab and dedicated page

changed:

• Price changed (a full featured layout has been added)
• A promo code for 20% discount is provided because of Nowruz. It will work until the end of Nowruz. (until 2 April 2016) Happy Nowruz. (Promo code: NOWRUZ)

added:

• option to link main title of breaking news ticker to any page you want

• A new ticker design (Latest News)
  • 200 ready to use text animations (in and out)

  • 3 different layouts

Its better to test 5th design (Latest News) to see how it looks. Why?
Because it has 200 Text Animations and +360 designs in 3 layouts!
So, to test it, do these 3 steps in options:
Choose Layout | Choose Theme | Choose Animation
But if you want to see just one simple design of it, take a look:
