Symptom: News headlines never change and do not show current headlines. If you see a headline referring to "...Billions of Dollars of X Loans", you know that this needs a fix for the News headlines.
Fix: Download the getNews.js file from the server. This will be located in the following folder:
LOGINID/directory_folder/js
Edit the file in a text editor. Here what it's content will look like:
jQuery(function() {
jQuery.getFeed({
url: 'http://feedproxy.electronicbuildingdirectory.com/api/news/news_proxy.php?url=http://feeds.reuters.com/Reuters/businessNews',
success: function(feed) {
var html = '';
for(var i = 0; i < feed.items.length && i < 10; i++) {
var item = feed.items[i];
html += '<li>'
+ '<span class="headline">'
+ item.title
+ '</span>'
+ '</li>';
}
jQuery('#newsList').append(html);
$('#newsList').newsTicker();
}
});
});
In the url parameter that has http://feeds.reuters.com/Reuters/businessNews, change the word 'business' to 'domestic' so that the parameter now reads http://feeds.reuters.com/Reuters/domesticNews
Save the change and upload the getNews.js back to the server. Clear your browser cache and re-load the server copy to verify that the headlines are now current.
If they do not change...
Then it's likely that the getNews.js content is implemented directly in the com-list-floors.php file (static) or the edc-weather.php file (touch)
Perform the same edit mentioned above changing 'businessNews' to 'domesticNews' in the appropriate file and upload it to the server in the root of the LOGINID/directory_folder location.
Clear your browser cache and re-load the server copy to verify that the headlines are now current.
