If people start making UCS addons then that would be really cool!

Even global_start, etc. variables do not work. I am trying to include rss feeds in the sidebars

ob_start();
require_once('rss.php');
$rss = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

It just does not parse... its a fresh forum install with no other product installed but the USC.

Now, if you put the $rss variable in the usc_sidecolumn_right template like:
$rss
$block11
$block12
$block13
Then it works... but not when put in the block templates.

Some help would be appreciated!

Thanks
