XML / RSS / RDF Feeds on your Portal

[redlabour]

In your Admincp - Styles & Templates - Style Manager - Add a new template called "adv_portal_news1" or so on (2, 3, 4, 5 etc.).

Insert this code into the template:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Heise.de</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" align="center">
<span class="smallfont">
<script src="http://www.howdev.com/services/feedsweep/producer.aspx?feeds=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eheise%2Ede%2Fnewsticker%2Fheise%2Erdf&amp;hea dercolor=%23000000&amp;textcolor=%23AECCEB&amp;maxoutput=5&amp;linecolor=%236699CC&amp;title=Hei se%2Ede&amp;width=50&amp;titlecolor=%23FFFFFF&amp;backgroundcolor=%23003366&amp;datecolor=%23AEC CEB"></script>
</span>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br/>

Attention : You have to get the Javascript from this URL http://www.howdev.com/services/feedsweep/

Still in your Admincp - vBa CMPS - Add Module

- Module Title - Whatever your Newsfeeds should be named
- Module Identifier - Leave blank
- OR Template to Include - news1 (or so on 2, 3, 4, 5 etc.)
- Activate and select the column you want it in.
- Save and you are done.

For example look at http://www.redlabour.de

The module is working out great except for one thing. I can't seem to get it to brake from the next module. I've inserted <br /> and it double spaces above the feed module rather then below it. Any ideas?

[cLord]

Add this at the end of previous code:
</table>
<br/> cLord ;)

[Lore]

Thanks for the help ....that did it! :)

[redlabour]

Has anyone a other Link like http://www.clintongoveas.com/wire/getjscode.php?feed=
?? It is so slow sometimes that my Portal is loading after 20 sec. and more. I need a faster one.

[mholtum]

would be create to add our own RSS Feeds Server as a module ?

[cLord]

Thanks Lore!

With a bit of imagination and some creativity I managed to create a decent RSS feed for my site...

cLord ;)

[deb0]

Clord, your feed Rox! instructions please!

That rocks bro! That would make a killer custom page! Instructions? :confused:

[cLord]

Patience, patience... :p

[RetroDreams]

Patience, patience... :p

I, too, am interested. I'd also be willing to pay $5-$10 for it as I've been looking for something like this for awhile.

[xtremeoff-road]

Patience, patience... :p

Hey man are you doing to release that news module that is on your site :confused:

Looks excellent!

[rezzz20]

As would I -- that's a great hack!!!

[tomshawk]

if clord is busy, I can post my version.

The only addition, is you need carp for mine to work, but the interface is the same.

I dont know what clord is using to actually pull the data.

[rezzz20]

carp? what's carp? - I like how he has the options for different feeds in that drop down -- do you have that in yours?

*Edit* -- Nevermind I do see that you have that as well -- I'd love to get any versions of these -- one question tho, I'd ideally like entertainment news -- I see that you have tech news, I'm guessing that as long as I can find some XML feed then this will work?

[tomshawk]

This is carp
http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/

And Yes, you can use any feeds you like ;)

[rezzz20]

ok -- well I'll take your mod and any instructions :) -- thanks man -- I really appreciate it

what do I do with carp?

[tomshawk]

After the old service is down here is a new one :

http://www.howdev.com/services/feedsweep/

[SalTheWop]

Ive just installed this mod.
If you go to www.viewfromthestand.co.uk you will see what is wrong with it.

1) How do I get the "LATEST NEWS" bar to the same size as the Feedsweep box.

2) I have added a couple of URLS to create a custom newsfeed, why doesnt it scroll??

Thanks
