[Add-on] lastRSS agregator for phpBB3 (2.0.0RC)

[Smix_cz]

I´m not sure about what you are asking ... On my demo board is marquee with news headers from RSS - is it visible for you ? I know that there is a bug in visibility in Safari for Windows (and probably not only in Windows version). In other browsers it´s ok (tested FF, Opera, IE6, IE7). I´m working to fix this bug in Safari. It´s possibly connected with validity of HTML. I know that marquee isn´t valid for xhtml, but I was unable to find better solution (which works in all browsers !) to view many and many feeds with many news (feeds are currently unlimited and 10 news items for one feed is maximum) on small area as it is in one (small) row marquee.

(btw. marquee will come back with CSS3)

I´ll probably try to detect if the browser is Safari and if yes, I´ll increase height of the lastRSS div box. As I tested - marquee is "running" under the box and it´s not correctly visible - If I tryed to add direction="up" it was visible on the lower edge of the div. I´ll try to update this soon ...

Yes, I can see that.

Is it possible with this to have an RSS Feed for each forum/category, or is it just board wide?

[Smix_cz]

At this time it´s global ... But I´m also thinking about it to set a specific rss feed for special forum ...
Maybe in some next version ... (maybe Beta2 )

Hi,

I think this is a very cool mod and thinking of using it on my live board, so i installed it on my test board, code changes wasn't a problem but the install script didn't work. After running the install.php i got a blank page, so looked into the database and saw that only the table "phpbb_lastrss_rsscontent" was created, the other table and all the inserts didn't came through. Maybe you could take a look at the install script
I Performed the sql manually and after that the mod worked

Code: Select all

CREATE TABLE phpbb_lastrss_rsscontent (
name varchar(50) NOT NULL,
content text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY  (name)
);
     
     
CREATE TABLE phpbb_lastrss_rsslist (
url varchar(80) NOT NULL,
last_update varchar(10) NOT NULL,
name varchar(50) NOT NULL,
level int(3) NOT NULL,
enabled int(1) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY  (name)
);
   
INSERT INTO phpbb_lastrss_rsscontent VALUES ('phpBB.com', '');
INSERT INTO phpbb_lastrss_rsscontent VALUES ('lastRSS home', '');
INSERT INTO phpbb_lastrss_rsslist VALUES ('http://phpbb3.smika.net/lastrss.php', '0', 'lastRSS home', '99', '1');
INSERT INTO phpbb_lastrss_rsslist VALUES ('http://www.phpbb.com/feeds/rss/', '0', 'phpBB.com', '90', '1');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config VALUES ('lastrss_cache_time', '12', '0');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config VALUES ('lastrss_enabled', '0', '1');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config VALUES ('lastrss_items_limit', '3', '0');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config VALUES ('lastrss_shuffle', '0', '0');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config VALUES ('lastrss_type', 'fopen', '0');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config VALUES ('lastrss_version', '2.0.BETA1', '0');

One little thing....is there a way to improve the scrolling in Firefox ?
In IE it works just fine and loops the feed without a problem, in firefox the feed seem a bit more "shaky", not scrolling as smooth as in IE and when the feed ends in FF it suddenly appears out of nothing in the center of the feed box again.

Anyway...thnx for this mod

Thank you for reply. I´ll have a look on it.

If you want to play with it just a bit - try to test scrollamount (px) and scrolldelay (miliseconds) attributes for marquee ...

Hey

I'm a bit confused about this mod..

I am looking for a mod that will access a newsfeed.rss and post topics in a specified (news) forum with the news from the feed.. and check for new news topics to post from that feed every day or so...

Is this what this mod can do? :s

thanks

[Smix_cz]

No. This mod shows "actual" content from some RSS feed on your index, viewforum and viewtopic in marquee ...
Check my demo board http://phpbb3.smika.net - the lastRSS box is what you get ...

try to test scrollamount (px) and scrolldelay (miliseconds) attributes for marquee ...

Where can i find this ?

Edit: found it In lastrss.html, could you give a example because when i add a attribute like scrolldelay the feed get all crazy like

[Smix_cz]

Try google and search for "marquee example" or something similar ... for example : http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/encyc/marquee.html
