just thought I'd share... I had a desire to include a news feed in one of my custom pal boxes... so, here is my modified custombox3pal.php. All you really have to do, is replace the .rss URL with the one you want to include and let it know whether or not to show the Article Descriptions....
Let me know if you have any questions! You can see it in the middle column on the front page of my site.
okay... seems to be an issue with the parser... I was able to integrate this one (available under GNU License) http://magpierss.sourceforge.net quite easily... I did not take any time right now (not having any, really... ) to format it or anything like that, but it should get you started...
Unzip this attachment to your pals/ directory (this *WILL* overwrite your custombox6pal.php file!!! that's the one I used to experiment...). Then edit your IIP to show custombox6. It should work out of the box... If not, let me know!
Also, if you want the full source of MagpieRSS, please visit the link above and download it... it includes several sample scripts that could be of use for further customization.
Glad to hear it! I'll probably leave it all as is, right now, but when I get a spare moment or two, I'll try to clean up the display a bit... (allow descriptions, etc...)
My user are very happy with this feature. While talk to them about the feed there are some ideas for future enhencements if you find the time to modify this mod again
The idea: the pal box should display a default feed for guests and users. Then it should possible for the user to change the feed itself. This can be done while selecting an other feed from a bulk of urls or enter an own url due the users my home control (such as enter an avatar url ect).
This would stop the dicussions wich feed we should display
Sorry I don't know. I am not big into RSS best I can say is go see if you can find a script out there amongst the nuetrons that you can include(); into a Palbox.
Don't rename the script to the pal box name. Insert the code into the pal box. There is code that is required in the pal box itself and there should be comments in the pal script that says where to insert the code.
If you can't figure it out, try attaching the file you are attempting to use and I'll take a look.
