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

</MARQUEE>
<!--
