News ticker from RSS feeds?
 
Anyone know of a mod that will allow a news ticker to stream on the forum home that will display feeds from any RSS source?

1. Copy http://yourforum.com/external.php?type=rss2
2. Use RSStoHTML or RSStoPHP and make <maquee> with it or PHP include it

A little slower for the php challenged? :)

OK.. do you want to display a News Ticker for all the RSS Feed or for a particular forum? category?
  1. Download RSSTOHTML
  2. Upload rss2html.php and FeedForAll_XMLParser.inc.php to the root (http://www.forum.com/) or (/public_html/).
  3. DOUBLE CHECK, they should be in the root so they can be called like http://www.forum.com/rss2html.php
  4. Create a new file called "vBMarquee.html", contents of the file are below..
  5. Now try going to http://www.forum.com/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.forum.com/external.php?type=rss2&TEMPLATE=vBMarquee.html&MAXITEMS=10
  6. OK its looking good but nothings moving and it looks a mess? Great
  7. Go to AdminCP - > Style Manager - > FORUMHOME - > Add after headerinclude a PHP include or a SHTML Virtual include.
  8. If your still lost try the code below

PHP Code:
<?php
/*
IN FORUMHOME CODE
*/
include("/root/path/to/copy/paste/from/cpanel/public_html/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=[B]http://www.forum.com/external.php?type=rss2[/B]&TEMPLATE=[B]vBMarquee.html[/B]&MAXITEMS=10");

echo "";

// Note use a include rather than require

?>
vBMarquee.html source:

HTML Code:
<HTML>
    <HEAD>
        <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
        <TITLE>
            ~~~FeedTitle~~~ vBulletin News Ticker using RSSTOHTML
        </TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
                <!--
        <H1>~~~FeedTitle~~~</H1>
        <H2>~~~FeedDescription~~~</H2>
                <MARQUEE>
                //-->
            <MARQUEE>
                                ~~~BeginItemsRecord~~~ ~~~ItemPubShortDate~~~ > ~~~ItemPubShortTime~~~ ><B><A href="~~~ItemLink~~~">~~~ItemTitle~~~</A></B> (~~~ItemDescription~~~) ~~~EndItemsRecord~~~
                        </MARQUEE>
                <!--
                </MARQUEE>
        <H1>~~~FeedTitle~~~</H1>
        <H2>~~~FeedDescription~~~</H2>
                //-->
    </BODY>
</HTML>
This was just at the top of my head..please tell us if its OK.

I want to display the RSS feed from another news website, but in my forum home.

Hey

You can still use my suggestion above. And you can display feeds from anywhere. Nice hack. Although I thought this user had actually searched the forum, Google vB.com and even the thread recommendations query..

:)

Crap sorry, yes that's what I'm looking for. I saw this earlier but I thought it was just for forum messages/posts. My apologies.

No problem - someone else had the same requst, so I just made it a feature.
