I'm trying to add the item description to the rss ticker used in the steamedmp skin homepage which uses Infoservice as its source for RSS feeds.
Looking at the tags for the rss ticker mask I thought I would be able to specify "%itemtitle% - %itemdescription%" to get the item title and description scolling past but no matter what I do I always get the item title followed by the feed name in brackets (even if I disable "enable feed time" in inforservice plugin).
The thing is the title and description appear correctly in the scolling sample at the bottom of the infoservice plugin config so the ticker mask format seems to be correct. However in the infoservice log I get:
27/07/2010 19:47:59 | InfoService | Debug | Set property "#infoservice.feed.titles" to "Comic-Con Ketchup: Guillermo Del Toro to helm Haunted Mansion flick (Rotten Tomatoes: News) +++ RT on DVD & Blu-Ray: Clash of the Titans and Repo Men (Rotten Tomatoes: News) +++ Dude! It's the 15 Manliest Movies Ever! (Rotten Tomatoes: News)" successful
So where is this ticker mask used?
Is it a skin question?
