vBa CMPS RSSfeed module
 

Hello, I've seen this requested a few times, so I thought I'd post it here.

There are a few hacks here at vBulleitn.org for News feeds going into a paticular forum, and I've tryed a couple of them, but didn't really like the way they worked.

So, I decided to look around and see if I could find something better.

I found carp

There is a free version you can download here

The instructions for creating a module for vBadvanced CMPS are in the zip file as well as a php file with a few examples.

Download and install carp on your webserver.

The dreaded message. Can't see your example man.

so.. as the most conservative tradition of hundred and hundred hack in vbulletin.org, I will ask you a question:

"Please, can you post some screnshoot?"
until your live demo is out of service..

:)

Sorry everyone

because of the existance of my other newsfeed hack, I had slacked on this one

anyway, Here is a demo for you

The module is on the left side labeled

News Feeds

Again, my apologies

What's the advantage with using this as opposed to a javascript version? I have a 4 feed system, is it speed, as I don't want to monkey around with having to install something to the server if I don't have to.

Shiva,

Before I say one way or the other as to which one I think is better, I would need to see the code for yours, but...

Your ability to integrate the graphics the way you did is awesome.

I know this version is simple, much simplier then the Newsfeed with Selector menu I released. This one is very straight forward and leaves little to the imagination, though it can be customized, I dont know if it would do graphics like you have. I think I need to look at carp a little closer.

BTW, do you plan on releasing your version, as I would be most interested in looking at it.

thanks, works great!
but...;)
is there a way to include the php locally to the cmps page? some of my rss feeds flake out and cause the forum pages to error. :ermm:

Brian(Tigga) is thinking of doing something of the sort in his next big release of vbAdvanced, but it is not ready yet.

You may want to try this, because when the feeds flake, it doesn't look nearly as bad. ;)
