vBa CMPS RSSfeed module

[tomshawk]

Hello, I've seen this requested a few times, so I thought I'd post it here.

There are a few hacks here at vBulleitn.org for News feeds going into a paticular forum, and I've tryed a couple of them, but didn't really like the way they worked.

So, I decided to look around and see if I could find something better.

I found carp
http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/ (http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/)

There is a free version you can download here
http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/manual/download.php (http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/manual/download.php)

The instructions for creating a module for vBadvanced CMPS are in the zip file as well as a php file with a few examples.

Download and install carp on your webserver.

I hope you like, Enjoy!

so.. as the most conservative tradition of hundred and hundred hack in vbulletin.org, I will ask you a question:

"Please, can you post some screnshoot?"
until your live demo is out of service..

Sorry everyone

because of the existance of my other newsfeed hack, I had slacked on this one

anyway, Here is a demo for you

The module is on the left side labeled

News Feeds

Again, my apologies

What's the advantage with using this as opposed to a javascript version? I have a 4 feed system, is it speed, as I don't want to monkey around with having to install something to the server if I don't have to.

Shiva,

Before I say one way or the other as to which one I think is better, I would need to see the code for yours, but...

Your ability to integrate the graphics the way you did is awesome.

I know this version is simple, much simplier then the Newsfeed with Selector menu I released. This one is very straight forward and leaves little to the imagination, though it can be customized, I dont know if it would do graphics like you have. I think I need to look at carp a little closer.

BTW, do you plan on releasing your version, as I would be most interested in looking at it.

thanks, works great!
but...;)
is there a way to include the php locally to the cmps page? some of my rss feeds flake out and cause the forum pages to error. :ermm:

Brian(Tigga) is thinking of doing something of the sort in his next big release of vbAdvanced, but it is not ready yet.

You may want to try this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71047), because when the feeds flake, it doesn't look nearly as bad. ;)
