I have made a new RSS mod for phpBB XS so I thought I would submit it here to see if anyone likes it.

With this RSS mod you can bring news feeds from other websites like Yahoo.com phpBBXS.eu your Blogs or any place that offers a RSS feed. The RSS news page is capable of displaying images from your news feeds like feeds from Yahoo.com and you can also build categories on the RSS page to display your feeds in a structured order.

and what the difference with existing xs news ?

thanks

Hello difus,

First is ease of use. Then the categories on the news page plus the addition of two news blocks on the portal and there are a scrolling headers and footer.

You can see one on www.traderscommunity.com I am rebuilding this website adding in dynamic finacial information and many other kinds of mods to the XS system.

Thanks Gary,

Moved to XS Mods Forum.

Hello Mighty Gorgon,

Thanks,

I hope the users can benifit from this mod, it may just add a little more flexability to there system.

In regards to TC keep your eyes on it as I am working it all out but there will be charts and many other things that will all be controled from the ACP and the users control panel.

Any suggestions on what you like to trade and what websites you like to watch are always welcome. Plus the toolbar I built has the markets ticker and a RSS manager built into it but a new one is coming out with a massive amount of tools just for traders. You may like it.

Thanks Gary... I'll try to have another look when I'll be back from vacations.

Hi Gary, good to see you're still around. Whats the difference between version 2.0 and the last one you posted under phpBBXS.com?

@Difus, the phpBBXS rss newsfeed reader didn't work properly on the homepage / portal.php (or index.php under phpBBXS, although really its portal.php from Integramod thats been renamed). There were several discussions on phpBBXS.com about this issue, the problem being related to the way/order in which variables are parsed to different blocks in IMPortal... I had a quick and dirty fix of using a standalone php newsreader script, parsing via <iframe>, and then Gary came along with this cool mod which is more integrated.

Hello Mighty Gorgon,

I was just wondering what do you do when someone has removed your links from any mods you do?

I have found a website that is using my RSS mod but has removed my credit link. I have contacted them but of course no answer.

Gary, I have had your credit since 3-4 days ago. I see now, after your post that the credit goes off when I have add the "Pro Advertising Banner". But was just an error editing the template. For which reason I have to remove your credit? See all my whole site and tell me if you see some credit removed..... I have to choose yours for any reason?
Anyway now I have check the .tpl and the credits come back again.

P.S.: when and how you have contact me? I never have received any mail or PM about you... sorry, for my english and if I was too rude, but I prefer other way to solve similar questions.

Bye, and sorry about the inconvenience.

Hello andrea75,

I see today the credit is there, the only reason I have asked here is because I did try to handle it another way and that was by contacting you about it twice so if you didn't receive the emails from your contact us form on your website I have just found a bug for you to take care of    You have mentioned you have had my credit since 3-4 days ago and if I remember correct I contacted you a week ago about it but I may be mistaken.

I didn't mean to make this all out like you are some hack going around removing links intentionally off others work but how am I suppose to know? I myself also remove links when there is a security risk in the mod so people can’t perform searches and locate all of the systems they can deface until a fix is found. When I contacted you the first time I figured you where doing something with your forums that mistakenly removed the credits and I was just notifying you, with no response after the second time I posted here.

But none of this matters as the link is there, all is forgotten about. Thanks for the response.

I can assure that Andrea is a serious person, and you can trust him. If your copyright was missed, it was just an error.

In any case, I usually don't do anything against people who have removed copyrights... the only measure is no support... I don't care of them...
