Awesome. I must of misread your intro instructions. I thought it was supposed to be zero:

This is to install an addon to vBAdvanced for AboutToday . It assumes that AboutToday is installed, the RSS Feeds are active, and "How many rows across for $myfeeds variable?" is set to greater than zero.

I really appreciate it.:D

Enjoy! Thanks for giving it a try.

How can I tweak the template so that my feeds can be separated into different modules? FOr instance I want a module that shows only my current events feeds, one for sports, one for movies, etc.

just installed - looks great! thanks

i haven't tested it, but you should be able to use the $myfeeds2 and $myfeeds3 variables for this... just create different modules for each, and edit the code accordingly.

Correct, you could have up to three different "modules" doing it that way. However, right now categories within the RSS Feeds aren`t supported.

by default, i have this as a left column module... i enjoy the feature, however the spacing is a tad untidy... a lot of unused space

Thanks for this add-on. Everything works fine for the stock CNN and Yahoo feeds. However, there are problems with non-latin1 character RSS feeds. No info. can be pulled from blogs that use non-latin1 or UTF-8 character sets. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Perfect!

*Installed

I can't get this to work for myfeedsdetail :( Any ideas? I already checked "Allow $myfeedsdetail to display?" and changed the code to

Quote:

<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
$myfeedsdetail
</td>
</tr>

Have you also set "Include this Feed in $myfeedsdetai variable" to "Yes" for the feeds you want?

If yes, can you copy the contents of the plugin abouttoday_myfeeds here?

Yes.

Where do I find that?

That looks good. Can you PM me your site url along with an admin login and password? I'll check it out for you.

Sorry my mistake! I got it on the homepage now, but I have 1 problem with it on my forum page its www.pesforum.co.uk/forum

Basically at the bottom all the feeds are one big list, is there a way I can get them into columns side by side to each other, I know I can do this for the variable option but doesnt give the option for the default settings, thanks for the help

Also another question is how do I setup the "Include this Feed in $myfeeds2 variable" and "Include this Feed in $myfeeds3 variable" options?

Would like rss feeds about something else say at the bottom of my homepage to go with the ones on the right, how would I add the no2 variable and no3 into the portal? thanks

i installed the main hack and about to install this one but am lost as to what the variable should be, greater than '0'?

"It assumes that AboutToday is installed, the RSS Feeds are active, and "How many rows across for $myfeeds variable?" is set to greater than zero."

i also had trouble viewing feeds using the main hack. sorry for posting here. thanks!!

well i changed it to 4 and i tried to install this hack and got this:

hello cyberranger...i appreciate your help and just pm'd ya....fyi.

thanks again.

After doodling around I finally figure everything out. Thanks!

I am having a rough time with this. I feel like I'm pretty good at reading instructions (not to mention they are very straight forward) but I get this error when trying to create the module template.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.5:

I have the How many rows across for $myfeeds variable? set to 2

and Include this Feed in $myfeeds variable? set to yes

I assumed it worked for 3.6.x but that may be the problem now that I think about it

I was able to fix this.

Had to create the template under admincp>styles and templates>add new template

put the content in there

then create the mod.

I'm using vbadvanced b3.0 rc2 and can't see anything inside. Need help...Thanks...

I'm checking it. I'm stumped myself right now. The settings look fine but I can't get the variable to print out. Let me keep looking.

For now I have disable the add-on. Thanks CyberRanger for looking into it.

I just added this to my site and followed all the instructions to a T but still can't get the feeds to show up in the template box.

Is there any conflicts with latests vbulletin and vbadvanced programs?
