Title: Multiple Rss feeds in a single block.
Post by: worm82075 on March 20, 2011, 12:16:28 PM

First off let me make it clear that I am willing to pay for this code if necessary.

What I need is to display multiple rss feeds in a row /column format like bbc's post tables.

Have a look at my site. http://thewormhole.nfshost.com/forum/index.php

See the rss feed blocks on the lower right of the portal? I want to display those in columns in a single block in the center of the portal like i have done with BBC tables and the list of links.

Really all i need is an rss feed bbcode but I think some custom PHP or Html is much less to ask for.

Like i said I'd be willing to pay for the code. Thanks.

Edit: Oh, i forgot to mention i'm running SMF 1.1.11 and SP 2.3.1.

I don't know if this will help, but I did put multiple RSS feeds in a table; in rows.  I used this source to generate a script for the feeds; http://www.rss-to-javascript.com/p/RSSRDF-Converter___138.html

Then I put the code within the row(s) of the table:

Code: [Select]

<table width="100%" border="1" bordercolor="#333333" align="center" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" background="PATH TO BACKGROUND IMAGE WITHIN TABLE">
  <tr>
    <td><div style="overflow:auto;height:300px;">RSS to JAVA CODE INSERT HERE</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><div style="overflow:auto;height:300px;">RSS to JAVA CODE INSERT HERE</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><div style="overflow:auto;height:300px;">RSS to JAVA CODE INSERT HERE</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><div style="overflow:auto;height:300px;">RSS to JAVA CODE INSERT HERE</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><div style="overflow:auto;height:300px;">RSS to JAVA CODE INSERT HERE</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><div style="overflow:auto;height:400px;">RSS to JAVA CODE INSERT HERE</div></td>
  </tr>
</table>
I also used the

Code: [Select]

<div style="overflow:auto;height:400px;"RSS TO JAVA CODE INSERT HERE </div>So, I have 6 RSS feeds in one custom html block.  With vertical sliders for each feed.  It works well for me.

can i have a look at your site?

Edit: I would like to avoid using any scripts that aren't on my server.

Ok I got this one sorted on  my own using the following:

RSS Display Boxes (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex18/rssdisplaybox/index.htm)
by Dynamic Drive

They have a php driven rss parser that uses javascripts placed on your own server and outputs in html using html so all your RSS data is searchable.
