Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> Scrolling block for RSS feeds?

I'm looking for a block, similar to the ForumScroll from this site, which will pull headlines from selected RSS feeds. I have several RSS feeds as blocks now and they take up too much room, so this would be ideal.

The only think I saw similar to this was a dead link from another site. I have checked block downloads on Nuken, NukeCops and All-Nuke.

Does anyone know if there is such a block available and if so, where I could get it?

Thanks!

Yes there is a block like that. The one I have on my site in the downloads section will allow you to use 4 feeds and yes it scrolls also. Have to register to download though, yet thats free also.

Block is called "Nuke News"

RedWolf, I downloaded that block and was going to use it with these RSS feeds:

Top Headlines: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]
NFL Headlines: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]
NBA Headlines: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]
MLB Headlines: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

But they won't display. Any thoughts?

ok...I went back over the block a bit and noticed that the one in the downloads was named incorrectly. What I mean by that is the line

if (eregi("block-sports_news.php",

Should also match the name of the block. So lets say you named it the same from inside your block, the outsite name should match. However, even when I tried that I still had problems displaying the info from the feeds. There is hope though because I know the one who adjusted the news block for his site (the one I got the block from) has his forums showing inside the block. So best advice I can give ya is to ask Tag from [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] He was the one who helped me set up my recipe block feed also. I know the block is very finicky..

. Sorry I couldnt help you more.

Note* My download is now updated. Block is exactly how it came from am-nuke.net

Thanks for the heads up, RedWolf. I had actually downloaded that block from their site, but your reply made me take a look at the code and see that I could actually hack it to use whatever RSS feeds I wanted. I also made it that it uses 5 feeds instead of 4.

Thanks again!

P.S., I did register at your site as well. Very cool.

yvw... and since its the same block as my recipes use anybody can actually just add to the recipe block also if they wanted recipes showing as well

Once its set up and decent rss feeds for it, it is very nice add-on for any site.
