All Tickers

To access the main component section where all added tickers on the website are displayed, navigate to the IWS.BY Ticker menu.

A table containing all tickers added to the website will open. Let's review each column to understand what it displays.

• 1. "Title" – This column shows the ticker name entered on the "Add Ticker" page. Technically, this name is not used anywhere except in the table to identify the tickers.
• 2. "Type" – This column displays the current ticker type.
• 3. "Shortcode" – This column contains the shortcode that will render the ticker on the website. The shortcode is necessary for adding the ticker to pages, posts, and other text editors in the admin panel.
• 4. "PHP Function" – This column contains the PHP function that will render the ticker on the website. The PHP function is necessary for adding the ticker to website templates and PHP files.
• 5. "Date" – This column displays the date the ticker was added.
