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!

Yes.

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

Where do I find that?

Sorry my mistake! I got it on the homepage now, but I have 1 problem with it on my forum page its www.pesforum.co.uk/forum

Basically at the bottom all the feeds are one big list, is there a way I can get them into columns side by side to each other, I know I can do this for the variable option but doesnt give the option for the default settings, thanks for the help

Also another question is how do I setup the "Include this Feed in $myfeeds2 variable" and "Include this Feed in $myfeeds3 variable" options?

Would like rss feeds about something else say at the bottom of my homepage to go with the ones on the right, how would I add the no2 variable and no3 into the portal? thanks

[redskins_43]

i installed the main hack and about to install this one but am lost as to what the variable should be, greater than '0'?

"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."

i also had trouble viewing feeds using the main hack. sorry for posting here. thanks!!

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT *
FROM template
WHERE title = 'adv_portal_adv_portal_myfeeds'
AND styleid IN();
