Ditto!!

I just don't believe that I missed this all this time!

One of the finest hacks/mods I've seen yet!!

the only bad thing about this feeds, is that they flood your forum and kills the member posting

I have installed this, but I don't see anything on my page and I don't understand number 3

If you plan to use the RSS Feeds:

1. From the admincp, select AboutToday - RSS Feeds. Add an RSS Feed.
2. From the admincp, select Usergroups - Usergroup Manager. Add permissions so the Administrator group can use the product.
3. From your forum directory, bring up the file abouttoday.php.
4. If you want the feeds to AUTOMATICALLY create threads, go to admincp - abouttoday - settings. There you must set the userid of the account to use to create the thread. Then, edit the RSS Feed with the forumid of where the threads for that feed should be created!

You don't have to have them posted and you can actually decide which feeds the member can select for posting.

I think it is the opposite. The members can read the news or whatever and if they are interested press a button and viola! Its in your forum as a new thread. Then when someone else comes across that same article on the AboutToday page they see a button to join the thread that was already started.

This Hack does with RSS what forums need done, in my opinion.

I think that is in the wrong order. The first thing I would do is go to your User Group for Admin and scroll all the way down. You will see a bunch of options for AboutToday. I set those all to yes for myself and just clicked the View Options for my other UserGroups.

After you set the permissions you will see more options for you on the AboutToday Page.

That should get you started. ;)

Great got it to work. Hey there anyway to move this to the feed to the top of my page and how?; right now they are at the bottom.

Not sure what you mean? Got a link?

I couldn't have said it better myself! Note too that you can set how often a feed gets updated. So, even if you have a feed set to automatically create threads you can still decide how often that feed will be updated.

I think you are talking about how summaries can be displayed at the bottom of the forumhome page in the "Today's Events" section. That cannot be moved. However, you could set you feeds so that none of them display in that section and then use some of the $myfeeds variables to get a more customized look. This is a bit more of an advanced usage of the program. See this thread for more details:

I can't figure out why I don't see the buttons like in this image.
