Newsfeed with Selector menu on vbAdvanced CMPS

Hello Everyone

This little mod, is great if you want to incorporate news feeds into the vbAdvanced CMPS

There is the one Prerequisite: I use the freeware version of carp,
but, if you have another aggregator you can modify this mod to use your own

Carp
http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/

you can download the free version here:
http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/docs/download.php

Install Instructions:
http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/docs/install.php

within the zip file is an instruction.txt file that should explain everything.

Demo:
http://www.tech-unity.com

Update:
updated instruction.txt file in the zip to comment on the carp path

Installed and working 100%



Noticed in the php file you have not stated that the following needs changing as well to the correct path:

<?php
require_once "/home/techun/carp/carp.php";

Needs to be the path of the new user not the path to your site.

The person that created the Merlin setup, said he'll be releasing soon.

That was a couple of weeks ago, I'll ask him about it.

Remember though, anybody that wants it.
Only IE users can view the actual script.

I also only have it set up so Unregistered/Not logged in users can see it

I just talked to the person that wrote the Merlin Module, he said he'll be releasing it sometime next week.
