I think you've missed my point

When you enter a feed url into the vB RSS feed manager you are telling vB to show the RSS feed, via threads in a certain forum.

All this hack does is read the urls from within the vB RSS feed manager and list them on its own list.

If you don't want the vB RSS feed manager to show the feed in threads then you need to untick the feeds within the manager. This will not stop the feeds from showing in the hacks list.

However, the list of feeds in the list on the hack page are just that, a list of URLs to the feeds. So when you double click a feed, or click the button after highlighting a feed all you are doing is telling the hack to go and retrieve the feeds data and display it. If at this point the hack web page can't connect to the server the feed is based on then you will get the error message.

I hope that helps clear the situation up.

If it is something that is happening everytime then there might be something wrong with the URL of the feed .. OR .. perhaps it's a RSS version that the hack can't understand .. not sure to be honest as I didn't write the hack

[johns_ar]

can i edit what the template says, cant seem to find it when searching through

Fantastic hack, installed perfectly on a heavily modified 3.6.2 board.

Question, I am using this to load about 90 RSS feeds, is there a way to Alphabatize the order that the feeds are listed?

That would be icing on the cake!

Also, under the description of each headline/article there is a clickable link labeled "Comment". I click it, the page reloads and nothing happens. What was this feature for and is it possible just to remove the link for "Comment" ?

Photos are not showing on my feed. I have a feed that has encoded content. I switched the body template to show encoded instead of description. My preview feed shows image tags, however the feed on my news page still just shows text. I know this stuff is cached, but how do I get my images to show?

http://nwphotoforum.com/forums/news.php

Neatorama feed should have images.

What up?

[romolus]

when I try to import product (product vbrssnews.xml) I have this error:


* Bitfield Collision: canadminvbgooglemaphse = canadminvbjournal

please help thanks.

i think we have to insert a replace-funtion in xmlparser.php - maybe before xml_parser_free($xml_parser); with $data ?!

[egyptsons]

dose not work with 3.5.X

[TrIn@dOr]

Do anyone know a mod like this but oriented for each user?

In other words, wouldn't be nice if each user have the abilitie to config hes own feeds?

This is a great hack, I have it installed at http://theice.co.uk/news.php - one suggestion however, to let members add their own feeds... if you could do that, this truly would be a fantastic tool
