open up the navbar template and replace the code (installed for this modification) to the following:

<! -- Googlenews -->
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="googlenews.php$session[sessionurl_q]" target="_blank">Googlenews</a></td>
<! -- Googlenews -->

notice that all you are doing is adding the word target_blank" But unless you are comfortable doing that; then just cut and paste the code. that minor addition will make the map appear in a different tab/page :)

Thanks.... Done.... works great....

Thanks for this great mod. Works perfectly! :cool:

You are very welcome. :)

I must say! WOOOW! and can I narrow the news to certain topics? or resize the window? can I add more RSS' Feeds?

Open up navbar template and located the following:

The first two numbers 680-width and 500-height. Adjust those as desired but I suggest you leave the others alone.

Regarding the feeds; this is a remotely hosted map and all that you can do is submit me the rss links you'd like and I will ensure they get reviwed. Make sure you provide information on exact area news is regarding, i.e. Country, State, City, etc.

Can I choose, which language show up in the articles?

The reason I did this hack was because I really didn't want to mess with feeding the board rss feeds, hence, News Reader with RSS Feeds for Dummies.

Anyway, if you would like a new feed added, remember these are remotely hosted, provide me with the country, state, city, etc and the link to the feed and I will ensure it is added to the database, which will take a few days to accomplish. :)

I think they've changed something on their site and this mod has now stopped working?

It was working fine, but now the news panel on the right side of the screen no longer appears? :confused:

Any suggestions?

Excellent work, thnx

Anyone else started getting "fatal errors" as the mod tries to read in the text stories? The arrow spins for a long time, then it goes to an error message?

Was working fine, but lately getting more of these....

Thanks ... :)

@badger

Yes I am having same thing on my site. I am fixing to disable hack until problem solved. Hard to say if it's the news feed having issues or they actually changed something. :confused:

How would I resolve this error message:

I've been away for several months and just noticed it isn't working anymore. I will get this fixed asap!

The link has been fixed and everything should be working fine now.


Sorry!:o

luv it luv it luv it.. ty

I'd like to have a 'news feed' with Disney-related information on my site. Would this hack be a solution to what I'm looking for?

If so, then could the information carry over to CMPS (my vBadvanced homepage)?

I'm less than two months into modifying my site, so I'm still relatively new. Be gentle. :)

ArnyVee - This hack can't be modified to filter out only Disney news, GoogleNews only provides regular News as gathered by Google, this hack lets you click on a location in the world and get local news from that part of the world only. If you want to provide Disney-related information to your website, i recommend you create a new Disney forum in your vbulletin and add a new RSS Feed to load info into that forum. You can get Disney RSS feeds from http://www.wdwinfo.com/rss/ and http://www.wdwmagic.com/rss.htm and http://www.magicalmountain.net/WDWNe...sp?NewsID=1898 (Use Google to find more Disney RSS Feeds).

Thanks SirFlash!

So, then I could make a module in my vBadvanced homepage (CMPS) and 'feed' the info to it, I would assume.

How do I load info into a particular forum using the RSS feeds? And, can I have more than one RSS feed in a forum?

Forget it....got it. :)

This is currently working fine on 3.7.0.

Works great with v3.8.2 too!

I just tried it and it does not work. I wish someone would upgrade it.
