Several news block, differents sources

[MaamuT]

Sorry for my funny english, but i'm french and i don't spek very well…

I would like to install several blocks of news, each one taking his source in a different forum.

I excavated well in the codes of Board3 but I did not find how to make.

The only result that I had, it is to have two forums in the same block, or two forums in two blocks, but not a forum per block.

Thx

Hi

Not taking up the block news for various reasons (if I remember correctly !)

Blocks of the gate that manages permissions based forum, not the permissions from another site
Block news not only manages external rss

Alternative. Integrate an RSS feed in a frame in portal as lastRSS

Example: http://planetozh.com/blog/2004/11/magpi ... s-parsers/

Regards (and sorry for google translation ! )

Bonjour / Soir

Impossible a faire en reprennant le bloc news tel quel pour deux raisons (si je me souvient bien !)

Les blocs du portail ne gere que les permissions du forum sur lequel tu es, pas les permissions d'un site externe
Le bloc news ne gere pas les flux rss externe

Autre solution. Integrer un flux rss dans un cadre du portail comme lastrss ou autres

Exemple : http://planetozh.com/blog/2004/11/magpi ... s-parsers/

Isn't it possible to use several announcements block with different forum id's as source? Of course this would recommend that a news must be posted as announcement and not regular topic.

I'm using this solution, but only with one block/forum-ID as source:

Hi all,

Yes it is possible, and it is very simple, when the trick is had…

It is enough to follow the example : How to edit a module file

Not to forget to rename the variables board3

Code: Select all

board3_item

By :

Code: Select all

board3_my_item

After, it is enough quite simply to rename the element of the function

Code: Select all

$template->assign_block_vars('news_row', array(

By :

Code: Select all

$template->assign_block_vars('my_item_news_row', array(

That's all, go to the Admin panel => MODs => Portal Module

Add your new module, configure, and admire it, it is as simple as that.

P.-S. : Not to forget to also modify the variable news_row to my_item_new_row in the file template.html
