RSS widget using widget description for title

I'm finding that a lot of RSS feeds have titles that are much longer than the name of the site itself. Sometimes, they include HTML. Thus, I get feed widgets that look like this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/10/1.png

What I'd like to do is have the option of making the widget description the title if it is provided. From what little I know, I think that means doing some kind of if-else conditional. Thus, in vbcms_widget_rss_page (4.1.7), I'd replace ...

Code:

<div class="cms_widget_header">

    <h3><a href="{vb:raw rss_link}" target="_blank">{vb:raw rss_title}</a></h3>

</div>

with something like ...

Code:

<div class="cms_widget_header">

    <vb:if condition="(SOMETHING)">

        <h3><a href="{vb:raw rss_link}" target="_blank">{vb:(SOMETHING ELSE)}</a></h3>

    <vb:else />

        <h3><a href="{vb:raw rss_link}" target="_blank">{vb:raw rss_title}</a></h3>

    </vb:if>

</div>

Is this correct? What should I substitute for (SOMETHING) and (SOMETHING ELSE)?

Thanks!

Bump. Does anyone know? I've seen a few similar threads on .org and .com, and they've all been sitting unanswered for months.

Is it possible insert the html or php code in the sidebar block to retrive an external feed rss?

To Cyburbia, did you ever figure it out. I haven't tried it but I think in your code SOMETHING would be "!empty($rss_description)" and SOMETHING ELSE would be rss_description.
