scrolling news block addon for vbAdvanced

[Edit]
Updated Instruction file: The block now looks like the rest of the homepage and not just a box.

Updated Instruction file for changing newsfeed from rss to JavaScript

Thank you SnowBot for helping me figure out I forgot to do that [/Edit]

This is an addon for vbAdvanced, I dont see a board for portal add-ons, so I hope this will do.

This is a scrolling moreover newsfeed center block for your homepage

This hack was Originally conceived by cadalist for vbPortal
http://www.vbportal.com/forums/showt...&threadid=7954, (sorry only premium members of vbPortal can visit it)

I've tryed to contact cadalist, but it appears he does not visit vbPortal anymore At least according to managment there, also his site does not exist anymore globaltronix.com At least it did not at the time of posting this.

It has been adapted to work with vbAdvanced by me, Tomshawk

I wouldn't want to say for sure without testing it first, but at first glance, I'd say yes.

I'd recommend putting the

PHP Code:

 $moreover 

from step 5

above

<! --main-->

in the forumhome template

I tried changing the URL for another feen but cant seemto solve it.

this is the feed id like but when i put that in the template nothing happens
http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=Jokes&o=rss

The one you have works fine, i noticed that your url / rss does not have the =rss

Good catch SnowBot

Take your link

http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=Jokes&o=rss

remove the "rss" at the end and replace it with "js"

The first time you place the link it needs to end with "&n=20" 20 being the number of headlines you want it to scroll through

the second time you place it, it should just end in "js"

So, the first time it should look like this

http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=Jokes&o=js&n=20

The second time, it should look like this

http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=Jokes&o=js

Thank you, It's kind of late, I'll update the instruction file tomorrow

Thank you
