Pause between database records

Hi. Any other newbie to the Tigra Scroller product here. I have it installed and it works great. But my boss wants it to do something else.

Currently it reads content from an HTML page populated by a database query. That works great. But now I need it to pause briefly between each database record rather than between each HTML page. There are only around 10 records in all.

I attempted to accomplish the pauses by setting up 10 different HTML pages using this configuration:
ITEMS = [
{
'file': '../s0_data/cont1.cfm',
'content': '',
'pause_b': 2,
'pause_a': 2
},
{
'file': '../s0_data/cont2.cfm',
'content': '',
'pause_b': 1,
'pause_a': 2
},
{
'file': '../s0_data/cont3.cfm',
'content': '',
'pause_b': 1,
'pause_a': 2
},
{
'file': '../s0_data/cont4.cfm',
'content': '',
'pause_b': 1,
'pause_a': 2
}, and so on.

But it seemingly selects the pages randomly and skips some pages. Actually it repeats the same page selection pattern every twenty iterations while it skips some.

My preference would be to use only one HTML page with some sort of trigger either inside or outside the query loop that will cause the pause to occur.

Please help! Thanks.

If I understand your request you are wantind to see what I have working right now? I would if it would help. But it is internal and cannot be accessed from outside our network.

Is it possible that the Scroller Pro can do what I need?

Thanks.

Default version of Tigra Scroller PRO does not allows to setup "trigger" inside content, it also operates with items. But:
1. it's possible to customize PRO version to allow such trigger functionality.
2. it's possible you could use default PRO version, cause it works better with outside content.
3. it's possible you have faced with iframe caching problem already solved in free Tigra Scroller.
Please refer to your Customer Care System and we'll discuss possible solutions.
