Are you referring to using list mode? If so, there is a “Tick spacing” setting that sets the spacing between ticks, or in your case, tweets.
Is this what you are asking? If not, I’m not sure if I’m understanding what you’re asking.
Go to http://jenolan.org and see at the top the rotating tweets
Ok, I can see what you’re saying. I still think the best way to deal with that is to leave it up to custom css. You can add something like this:
.mtphr-dnt-twitter span {
margin: 0 4px;
}
The reason I don’t wan’t to add default styling is that it’s impossible to know how people are going to use this. For example, if someone has a date set up as a block level element below a setup like you have, then the Twitter name would be indented 5 pixels from the left of the date (If the text was left aligned)… so that person would need custom css to override the default settings. So, padding may be optimal by default for your site, but it may not for someone else. I prefer to keep the styles as minimal as possible to user’s don’t have to override a bunch of presets to get a look they want.
I appreciate the comment and feedback. Thanks for your purchase!
Understand but the problem is that if I set up two different twitter feeds and I want them to appear differenly the ‘global’ css is not going to allow me to change it for one of the instances .. does that make sense?
You can target individual tickers. For your current ticker, you would use:
#mtphr-dnt-3137 span {
margin: 0 4px;
}
Every news ticker would use it’s post ID where the 3137 is above. If for some reason you use the exact same ticker (same ID) more than once on a single page and want to style them differently you can add a unique ID to each shortcode or function http://dittynewsticker.com/ditty-twitter-ticker-doc/#Unique_IDs
So, if you added the exact same ticker as you currently have another time on the same page and added a Unique ID of “copy”, you would reference it as:
#mtphr-dnt-3137-copy span {
margin: 0 4px;
}
Hopefully that helps you out.
Thanks will shake’n’bake 😉
