>> Issue fixed with a reinstallation of ATVO! Thanks Nick! <<

Hi guys, I want to split the ticker in two parts. I have got the top 15 as static entries and want to page all other players below with a maximum of 5 rows for each page.

First issue:
The ticker is starting correctly at 16th position in the editor but its starting with the last page using the exported ATVO theme. (It seems like)

Second issue:
When using the exported theme the first page often is missing or is displayed only for a very short period/blink of an eye. It is like it lays below (z-index) the other pages or something like that. I had this issue in another ticker too a year ago or so and gave it up to try to fix it.

If I decrease the number of items per page to 2 I the most of the time I only can see the last page running the exported theme. It seems that all the other pages always are hidden by the last page.  In Editor Preview Mode it starts with 16th and 17th and then jumps correctly to 18th and 19th, which is displayed as desired.

Is there somewhere an example configuration for a ticker widget as a tower?

I just tried it and it seems to work fine. The way I set it up is:

Static part (top15):
- One Widget for the top15 ticker. Enable Ticker and set to Static, with 15 items. Make sure to select the subwidget as the template.
- Select 'standings' as data source and order by position or live position.

Variable part below:
- Another Widget for the variable 5 items. Enable Ticker and set to Paging, with 5 items.
- Select 'standings' as data source and order by position or live position.
- Put the Data Offset to 15
- Place second Widget below the first one (you can calculate the total height by 15*subwidget height).


Here is an example: Dropbox link
It seems to work fine both in Theme Editor and in ATVO.

Thank you very much!

I have tested with your theme and everything was fine. I created a new basic theme with only a basic paging ticker and had the issue again. To see that the issue does not occur with your provided theme with the exact same settings of my theme gave me an idea what could be the cause of this issue. My ATVO installation.

After reinstalling ATVO in a different location I was able to build my own paging ticker without the described issue. Strange.

FYI:
Long time ago I lost my system partition but I am still using the programs installed on my other partition and there was ATVO too, it was up to date, last auto update came today or yesterday, and looked like working properly. Some programs install some data at AppData etc. but I thought this data is only temporary and would not make problems. I am using many programs that have been installed with my old system partition like Steam and never saw a problem.

I only can image that this was the reason for the issue.

Unfortunately I had this issue again with the new installation. :(

Then I have build a second ticker the same way again and had not the issue in that one. Saved the theme with both side by side just in case you want to take a look at it.

Yes can you please upload it somewhere? I have no idea what could cause this.

I can spot two differences between the left (broken) and right (OK) ticker:

- Left one has the bottom portion sorted by 'Position' instead of 'Live position'. This seems like a mistake, but it does not cause the issue.
- Left one has the Subwidget 'Is Dynamic' property checked. This somehow causes the issue, and if you uncheck this it behaves fine.

I'm not totally sure why Dynamic behaves like this, I built this so long ago. The purpose is to hide widgets that have no data (so you can dynamically show your widget only if it has data). I think it is not meant for use in a ticker, because the ticker decides itself how many items to show, and it should not show items for positions beyond the cars in the session anyway.

Ah okay, thank you so much for investigating this for me! Thought it should be dynamic, because the ticker rows are dynamic. What a shame that I have not figured it out by myself. I am sorry!

Now it is really fixed and I am happy. :)
