Yes, just like you had to for the Administrator group. Of course, you won't give normal users the same level of permissions. If you are only using the RSS portion of AboutToday, the typical usergroup permission would look like:

Thanks.

Also, is it possible to change the location of where it is? Is it possible to list them on one of the sides of the forum at all?

Say, if a member clicked on the title of a sub-forum, vB will take them to a seperate page with only that sub-forum on it. Is it possible to show AboutToday on that page aswell - with a copy of coding from the eindex page?

If you mean have the feed display on a forum page like it does at the bottom of forumhome, yes it can be done. Each feed has the option of being assigned to three different variables ($myfeeds, $myfeeds2, $myfeeds3). You assign the feed to that variable (using manage RSS Feeds) then place the variable where you want it to appear. Of course, you could use conditional logic to make it only show on the forumid you want. But ... showing you how to do that is beyond the support I can provide here.

Well i really would like it to do that, also, if thats possible, this must be possible aswell:

Actually, let me show you an example of how you can do this. I'm going to make some of the feed summaries show on one forum under the navbar. I think that would be a good example to help everyone realize some of what they can do with this mod.

The end result is going to be this. I've selected two feeds to show at the top of the Main Forum using the $myfeeds variable:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

On other forums, we'd won't see the feeds:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Here are the steps:
  1. In admincp->abouttoday->settings, change the "How many rows across for $myfeeds variable?" to two.
    https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
  2. For the two RSS Feeds you want to display, in admincp->abouttoday->RSS Feeds, set "Include this Feed in $myfeeds variable?" to "Yes"
    https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
  3. The final step is to place the $myfeeds variable in the navbar template. We'll place it all the way at the bottom of the template with a conditional to only appear on the main forum (id of 2)
    https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Done!

How about making them viewable anywhere else but the top?

LOL ... at some point you really need to just play with it yourself.

Okay ... bottom of the forum:

Edit the template FORUMDISPLAY. We'll do the $myfeeds2 variable this time:

http://www.brentandmary.net/images/a...rumdisplay.gif

Will give you this at the bottom of every forum page (but not forumhome)

http://www.brentandmary.net/images/a...rss-bottom.gif

This is with $myfeeds2 set to have two columns and the four feeds displayed set to be included in $myfeeds2.

Now ... go forth and play with it!:banana:

Just one more thing, ok so i know how to move it about. But i also like that box around it, could i move that box with it where ever it goes? Or just the text?

Sorry, I missed your question yesterday. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'll show you how to do it tomorrow.:banana:

So does this use CURL or FURL? I've had problems with the use of FURL with my host because I have to run in CGI mode. I've installed this and it's not getting any feeds so I'm figuring this is the problem.

When I update the feeds the abouttodat.php just shows no news articles.
