It uses fopen. If you need to use cURL, I believe this thread will let you successfully do that:

Yeah I found that edit. :) Seems to work now. Great plugin. I've always ran into this problem after Dreamhost decided to disable fopen, and was never able to use news/rss plugins.

Thanks!

Version 2.0.2 added Jun 16, 2006

• Built in support to use either fopen OR cURL for fetching RSS Feeds (set in admincp->About Today->Settings) [see attached image]
• Added function to to change German umlauts into ue, oe, etc.
• Fixed possible XSS exploit in the Local Events database system

I don't think hardly anyone uses the "Local Events" feature but if you do this version is important to fix a possilbe XSS exploit. Otherwise, you don't really need this version unless you have German feeds or need to use cURL instead of fopen.

Whats this curl, furl and fopen?

Do i need to know this?

Nope, if your current install is working fine, you are good to-go. If you do decide to use the "Add Events" (Today in History) portion of the program, you should upload the latest version first.

Is it possible to add a nofollow tag to the links?
Thanks

Would you want them to be globally applied to all the links or be able to control which feeds get nofollow added?

All the external links.

Okay, I think though I'll add it as a per feed option in the next release. I can see situations where you would not want the "nofollow" as part of the tag. For example, it may be a site that you are partnering with.

(I was going to show you where to change the code but I'm afraid the changes are a bit too numerous to do so.)

Exactly, I'm eagerly awaiting the next release :classic:
Thanks for the follow up.
