   RSS Feed URL: External Feed: Enter the URL of the external RSS or Atom feed (as eg. http://rss.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032091/device/rss/rss.xml in case of the MSNBC Top News RSS feed) Internal Feed: Enter the Sharepoint List path name of the local Sharepoint List to be used as a feed.  Enter the full List path as follows: "current site/subsite/Lists/List Name". Do not precede the entered value with the server host name! Example: SomeSubsite/Lists/Breaking News The feed items will automatically be sorted by ID in descending order to ensure that new items appear at the top of the feed. You can additionally specify a List View by appending the View name to the List path, preceded by a colon. Example: SomeSubsite/Lists/Breaking News:Some Custom View The feed items will in this case be sorted as specified in the View configuration. For example, you can create a List View to sort the list items descending by the "Created" list column. This would ensure that the feed only shows the newest items added to the List. The selected Sharepoint List should explicitly contain a "Title" and a "Description" column (unless you specify a custom "Field Template"). It also can optionally contain a "Link" column which (if present) is used for the feed item hyperlink. If this column is not present or is empty, the default Sharepoint detail URL is used for the feed items. If you point the Feed to a Sharepoint Picture Library, the images will automatically be appended to the feed items. The Web Part supports also supports web part connections thus you can optionally pass the RSS Feed URL via a web part connection You also can pass the RSS Feed URL as an URL parameter by entering the URL parameter enclosed in curly braces. Example: {feed} Nbr. of feed items: Enter the desired maximal number of items to be displayed (Default=5) Background Color: Enter the desired background color of the ticker (Default:white). Use either a hex RGB value (as eg. #FFCC99) or an HTML color name (as eg. orange) You can alternatively specify a background image (repeated for each feed item) stored in a Sharepoint Picture Library. Please enter this path starting from the top site as follows: /site/library/image You can also specify an optional item delimiter to be inserted between the feed items by appending the desired HTML string (preceded by a semicolon): Example: orange;<hr/>  Show Feed as a Ticker: check this field if you want the feed to be displayed as a one-line marquee ticker. Ticker Title: optionally prefix/start the ticker or the list with a custom text. Example: REUTERS NEWS : Ticker Delimiter: enter your custom ticker delimiter string (Default: +++ ) Scroll Delay: sets the Marquee scroll delay in millseconds (1=fastest, higher values=slower) Scroll Amount: sets the Marquee scroll amount in pixels (default=1) Scroll Direction: either scrolls the marquee from right to left or vice versae Show Start/Stop Controls: show or hide the Ticker start/stop and direction controls Use HTML Marquee: use the HTML Marquee tag instead of the JavaScript ticker if you observe any browser performance problems. Font Style: Enter the optional CSS style if you want to override the standard Sharepoint font settings. Example: 20pt Lucida Sans You can optionally append more CSS styles as follows: 20pt Lucida Sans; font-weight:bold; color:red Suppress HTML: optionally suppress the HTML tags in the Feed body Max. nbr. of words displayed: Enter the maximum number of words to be displayed in the body text.
