Hi,
I'm little confused about what you're trying to achieve and how it relates to the BBC news website?

Re: RSS...clueless - Posted By digital (digital) on 23rd Aug 08 at 7:47pm

You know howyou see forums that have got a RSS Feed on them

example

I want to set one up on mine

Re: RSS...clueless - Posted By Ross (admin) on 23rd Aug 08 at 10:52pm

Ah OK. What they're doing there is using a third party site (the one they use is http://feed2js.org but I'm sure there's others) to convert an RSS feed (like those provided by the BBC) into a code which can be placed into the header/footer of your forum. If you need help with the specifics of which options to choose when creating it then just let me know

I need help with the specifics

Re: RSS...clueless - Posted By Ross (admin) on 23rd Aug 08 at 11:12pm

OK, so what is the specific RSS feed you'd like to have displayed on your site? I know you mentioned the BBC news ones before but I believe they produce different ones for each topic

Okay I have actually managed to set one up but not how i want it. I have set up a football one in the english leagues board not what i want, i really want it to be in like a side box at the forum if you know what i mean ?

Re: RSS...clueless - Posted By Ross (admin) on 24th Aug 08 at 9:36am

So do you just want it in this board or on all pages of the forum? And do you want it on the left or the right?

Re: RSS...clueless - Posted By digital (digital) on 24th Aug 08 at 9:41am

I want it on all boards in the football category and on the right.

Re: RSS...clueless - Posted By Ross (admin) on 24th Aug 08 at 2:17pm

That should be setup on there now

Re: RSS...clueless - Posted By digital (digital) on 24th Aug 08 at 3:00pm

Not quite what i meant, i wanted it above the boards on the right and i only wanted it to display when browsing for sub-boards not actually in the sub-board

Re: RSS...clueless - Posted By Ross (admin) on 24th Aug 08 at 7:18pm

"Above the boards on the right"

Can you be a little more specific on what you mean by that?

And exactly which boards do you want it shown in?

Re: RSS...clueless - Posted By digital (digital) on 24th Aug 08 at 8:01pm

I don't know if you ssen befor you came in and fixed it that i had the rss up but on the left above the board you were viewing.

English Leagues
Scottish Leagues
Uefa
