Try to convert the rss feed to a script instead.

Will that keep the neat scrolling function or will I lose that?

There is no possible way to add target="_blank" into that php script?  Where's the PHP gurus....?

They will come around when yhey have the time for the every day life they have

Im not sure if the scroll will come up, you have to try your way through

I'd rather wait it out and add target="_blank" into that php script.  I really like it.  I did try adding it a few different ways but I was unsuccessful...I can patiently wait for the honorable php'ers!!!

I don't think putting it into a script will sovle any problems... Opera does not work fully with JavaScript either, so it won't improve the scrolling problem Opera has...

I added some blank lines in front and after the news and it's looking real neath now on my page.

What we need now is real TP integration like the RSS box has, so any user could install and configure it...

Target=_blank to open the news in a new browser window? The link comes out of the rss feed, don't know if we could simply change it :-/

I noticed this piece from your code:

Code Select Expand

$ausgabe_temp .= "<a href=\"".$link."\"><b><big>".$title."</big></b></a>....

That is ultimately the link, is it not?  If so can't you somehow add target="_blank" into there.  I am a big php n00b so don't laugh...

can't u do this....

Code Select Expand

$blank = ereg_replace( "target=_blank", "", $blank );

Then add it into the above somehow.  Or is that an unnecessary step and you can somehow add simply target=_blank into it?

I experimented with it a little but I didn't have something right because it yielded errors.  I bet a php guru can do it with little effort.

This is the most up to date code (where you can set all parameters in the header).

I added a target=_blank inside the link statement. It's html, it's only put together by php commands. If your attempt did not work, make sure not to include those "   " since they will disrupt the php code, you don't need them in html anyway.

// alle daten sind in $ausgabe_temp

Not all of this is my code, i took a very basic "rss to your website" thingy from some tutorial and heavilie modified it...



Any of you official TP guys around? How do we integrate this as RSS block replacement?

[daygo140]

PERFECT....!!!

If you want more or less empty lines just multiply the BR tags... haven't found a good way to scale it's size and add according free lines automatically.

Check it out!  Of course I added a lil' flavah to it, more when I get a chance to mess with it since now I know "" throws off php. 

Only thing that bugs me is that the scroll isn't as desirable in IE.  I'm not talking speed here but once the feeds cycle through you get the same amount of blank space and you need to wait for the feeds to recycle.  In FireFox no issues whatsoever...suggestions anyone?
