vbAdvanced Addon for AboutToday · **Released**: 02-17-2006

This is to install an addon to vBAdvanced for AboutToday . It assumes that AboutToday is installed, the RSS Feeds are active, and "How many rows across for $myfeeds variable?" is set to greater than zero.

In vBa CMPS, Add Module - Template.

1. Module Title - Make this whatever you want to display
2. Template to Include: adv_portal_myfeeds
3. Template Content:

<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
$myfeeds
</td>
</tr>

4. Save it and refresh your vbadvanced index page!

Awesome. I must of misread your intro instructions. I thought it was supposed to be zero:

I really appreciate it.

How can I tweak the template so that my feeds can be separated into different modules? FOr instance I want a module that shows only my current events feeds, one for sports, one for movies, etc.

i haven't tested it, but you should be able to use the $myfeeds2 and $myfeeds3 variables for this... just create different modules for each, and edit the code accordingly.

Correct, you could have up to three different "modules" doing it that way. However, right now categories within the RSS Feeds aren`t supported.

by default, i have this as a left column module... i enjoy the feature, however the spacing is a tad untidy... a lot of unused space

Thanks for this add-on. Everything works fine for the stock CNN and Yahoo feeds. However, there are problems with non-latin1 character RSS feeds. No info. can be pulled from blogs that use non-latin1 or UTF-8 character sets. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

I can't get this to work for myfeedsdetail

Any ideas? I already checked "Allow $myfeedsdetail to display?" and changed the code to

Quote:

<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
$myfeedsdetail
</td>
</tr>

Have you also set "Include this Feed in $myfeedsdetai variable" to "Yes" for the feeds you want?

If yes, can you copy the contents of the plugin abouttoday_myfeeds here?

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