Scrolling area on Index Page
« on: April 19, 2014, 10:36:38 AM »
Hi All,

Is it possible with nettalk to create a continually scrolling area on the main nettalk page(Index??) that users see when they login?  Something that shows the latest news or updates that a user might need to look at?  Something like Capesoft banner template.

Hope I explained that well enough
Brian

Hallo,

Make index a "memory form" and then populate a browse may give the effect you want.

Regards,
Robert

Thanks for the suggestion.  I did as you suggested and at least I have it so that news for specific users shows when they login.
For now this works although I need to play with the CSS to get rid of lines in the browse, not sure how to set this?

Brian.

very easy! play with Firebug in Firefox and see what you have to change. Make also your own css file to put there all your cosmetic changes.

Watched video - Thanks Bruce.
Did everything as described
Created the CustoT.Css file and put it in the aristo theme folder (The one I am using)
File is:
.news-list-line{
}

.news-list-text{
}

Put this in the css section as described for each field
Compiled just fine
Open Firebug and can find the news-list-line in the HTML section in Firebug
But it does not show it on the right as described in the video?  Not sure what I ma doing wrong.
See images

Ignore last post - I must have been confused as to where I had the file because I double checked everything and it now shows jst fine - Thanks.
Here's to going mad with colors and all sorts of things :)
