Split a Ticker into 2 parts

Posts: 61
Hey there,

I was wondering. Is it possible to split a ticker into 2 stacks next to each other? (instead of using 2 tickers?)

So you have like a stack displaying 1/2/3 and a stack displaying 4/5/6 ??

Not within a single ticker for sure.

How about 3 tickers stacked vertically? Each with an offset skip of 3 (so it goes 1-4-7-10-...) and each a different starting offset?
Or I guess just 2 tickers stacked horizontally may work too.

Alright then, thanks for the info. Will look better at using 3 tickers ontop of eachother for this to work seamless (had a test before, but somehow didn't turn out how i wanted)

You can take a look at the free fox 2015 theme i have up on ibog.co as it has this setup done

I've checked out the Fox 2015 theme from your website, however I cannot find the exact setup I'm looking for. But if Nick mentions its not possible then I need to tackle this somehow else.

I've tried both setups, 2 stacked next to each other, and 3 stacked ontop.
But then I run into some bug I think, since in this mode not all cars are showing up. I only count 17 entries in the tickers (counting all rows combined) for 1 class, however there are 18 cars.

When I switch back to 1 single ticker, every car (row) displays fine.

Seems its not liking multiple tickers with data offsets.

A way to do it might be having then to be static tickers. And then have a timer to change the data?
Then have it to loop??

I'm working on this as well.. What I'm trying to do is have ticker number one be a static top 10 and ticker number 2 be paging from 11th on down.. I have it working but it will start at p1 before it moves to p11.. Am I reading your post above correct?? If I set the Data Offset Skip to 11 would that solve my issue?

Data offset to 10 not 11 as 11 will start at p12

There are two properties:
- 'Data Offset' in the Widget itself - this determines how many positions to skip before the first result returned. So if you put this to 10, you will always get P11 as the first result.
- 'Data Offset Skip' in the Ticker properties - this determines by how many positions to increase each subsequent item in the ticker. Usually set this to 1 to have it go 1,2,3,4,5 etc, but you can set it for example to 2 to get 1,3,5,7, etc.

For a variable ticker that starts at some position you want the first one (and keep the Data Offset Skip at 1).

For multiple tickers next to each other like earlier in the thread, you may want to change the second one so one ticker goes 1,3,5,7 and the other one goes 2,4,6,8, etc.

Nice thanks so much Nick.. I have another question on the topic of tickers.. I notice while testing my theme in watched public servers that some driver info doesn't show up.. It will hold a place for that driver on the ticker but no data.. Sometimes.
