Turning News Ticker off and on

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 18

I’ve got a news site that will be updating multiple times a day. At the top of the homepage is a news ticker element for “Breaking News” (severe weather warnings, world shattering news, etc.). It’s not something that I want on constantly because it may be days between anything important enough to qualify as breaking news needs posted, and it doesn’t look good to have something (like a weather warning) from days ago still up there like it’s something people need to worry about now.

Is there some way to just toggle the element off after a set amount of time or something? The only solution I’ve got at the moment is to delete it and re-make it as needed and that’s not going to work. There is the display option in CSS but once I set it to hidden and click away I’ve got no way to set the element back to show (which is a whole other problem that needs addressed; maybe just have the element grayed out in the composer when it’s set to display hidden instead of making it disappear never to be seen again).

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no option for on of, sorry, but you can save that element in tagDiv Composer as a shortcode -> https://www.screencast.com/t/lgvGdJxYW , in this way you can remove it and add it more easy -> https://www.screencast.com/t/lgvGdJxYW

Thank you!
