Well I have tried editing the files which deal with the RSS.
Such as changing < to < and > to >, and then removing any HTML - I have also tried making it out put it as HTML without removing it.

But there seams to be a function within which is replacing the tags to blank space.

So does anyone know how I could do this?

Example of CNN RSS:

HTML Code:

An American journalist reported by her father as being detained in Iran had been working there without a permit, Iran's Foreign Ministry said Monday. Saberi's father, who lives in North Dakota, told CNN that his daughter called him from jail February 10 and told him she'd bought a bottle of wine for a friend's birthday. "Authorities told her the person who sold her the wine turned her in," Reza Saberi said.&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://rss.cnn.com/~ff/rss/cnn_topstories?a=h9RrtQSNRPA:Qt7zAGctjf8:yIl2AUoC8zA"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/cnn_topstories?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://rss.cnn.com/~ff/rss/cnn_topstories?a=h9RrtQSNRPA:Qt7zAGctjf8:7Q72WNTAKBA"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/cnn_topstories?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://rss.cnn.com/~ff/rss/cnn_topstories?a=h9RrtQSNRPA:Qt7zAGctjf8:V_sGLiPBpWU"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/cnn_topstories?i=h9RrtQSNRPA:Qt7zAGctjf8:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://rss.cnn.com/~ff/rss/cnn_topstories?a=h9RrtQSNRPA:Qt7zAGctjf8:qj6IDK7rITs"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/cnn_topstories?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://rss.cnn.com/~ff/rss/cnn_topstories?a=h9RrtQSNRPA:Qt7zAGctjf8:gIN9vFwOqvQ"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/cnn_topstories?i=h9RrtQSNRPA:Qt7zAGctjf8:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/rss/cnn_topstories/~4/h9RrtQSNRPA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;

Thanks in advanced

I found one way around it, instead of editing vBulletin files, create a PHP file which edits the RSS file before imported to vBulletin.

rss.php

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$rss = $_GET["rss"];

$rss = file_get_contents($rss);

$rss = preg_replace('/&lt;a href="(.*?)"&gt;/', '', $rss);

$rss = preg_replace('/&lt;img src="(.*?)" border="0"&gt;/', '', $rss);

$rss = preg_replace('/&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;/', '', $rss);

$rss = preg_replace('/&lt;\/img&gt;/', '', $rss);

$rss = preg_replace('/&lt;\/a&gt;/', '', $rss);

$rss = preg_replace('/&lt;\/div&gt;/', '', $rss);

$rss = preg_replace('/&lt;img src="(.*?)" height="1" width="1"\/&gt;/', '', $rss);



echo $rss;

?>

Then for the Feed URL, just simply put the following:

Code:

rss.php?rss=http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_latest.rss

or

Code:

rss.php?rss=http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
