Im trying this out for now.. Gonna see how it is, cause if this works nice.. no need to get a bot to make a thread with RSS news.

[Mysticales]

Hey question, we like this hack alot, is there a way to make it so it only shows a preview of each news article shown? Like a small preview, few sentances, then after that it will say "More" which is a link to the orig article so they can be guided to the full news shown?

You need to edit the includes/xmlparser.php file and replace the render_news function with the code below:

New function (use this):

PHP Code:

function render_news($feed_url, $showdetail, $headlinestyle, $detailstyle) {
    global $show_detail, $headline_style, $detail_style, $max, $count, $insideitem, $insideimage, $code2;
    $insideitem=false;
    $insideimage=false;
    $count = 0;
    $show_detail = $showdetail;
    $headline_style = $headlinestyle;
    $detail_style = $detailstyle;

    $xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
    xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
    xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");
    
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $feed_url);
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    $store = curl_exec ($ch);
    $xml = curl_exec ($ch);
    curl_close ($ch); 
    
    if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $xml, True))
     {
     die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
      xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
      xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
     }
 
    // Free up memory used by the XML parser
    xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
} 


Old function (for comparison):

PHP Code:

function render_news($feed_url, $showdetail, $headlinestyle, $detailstyle) {
    global $show_detail, $headline_style, $detail_style, $max, $count, $insideitem, $insideimage, $code2;
    $insideitem=false;
    $insideimage=false;
    $count = 0;
    $show_detail = $showdetail;
    $headline_style = $headlinestyle;
    $detail_style = $detailstyle;

    $xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
    xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
    xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");
    $fp = @fopen($feed_url,"r");
//           or die("Error reading RSS data.");
    if ($fp) {
        while ($data = fread($fp, 4096))
           xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))
               or die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",  
                   xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),  
                   xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
        fclose($fp);
        } else {
        $code2 .= "<span class=\"". $detail_style ."\">Syndicated content not available</span>";
        }
        
    
    // Free up memory used by the XML parser
    xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
} 


That works wonderfully! Many, many, many thanks Hex!!!
