Nice!

[Kays]

Thanks.

It's something I've seen requested more than a few times.

Hi there, this is incredibly useful (it just saved me quite a bit of work for something I was planning).

I'm not sure if this is something that can be done with this mod, or if this would have to be requested but, is there any way to customize what data is placed in the feed? I'd like to have only the post title (linked) and avatar (at 30x30), however I'm not sure if this is possible with a change to this mod, or if I'd need something new all together.

[Kays]

Thanks.

This only affects the number of items displayed. To do what you want will require modifying how the feed is put together. And it might not be easy since the avatar is not pulled as part of the data.

[tanshin]

Makes sense. I'll see what I can find in some of the files and such!

[Kays]

Look in Sources/News.php.

If you have any problems or questions on this please post them in the SMF Coding Discussion board.

[tanshin]

Sounds good, thanks! I'm not too good with PHP but I'll see what I can get from that file.

Good mod, but, how can I remove the content of message? I only want to get the link and the name of the message, not the content.

Thanks

Hi, thanks. For that you'd be best to post the question in the SMF Coding Discussion board.

I know this is an old topic, but I have a question. Is this supposed to work for phones, in particular the newer smart phones? ( iphone, blackberry, etc.)

[Kays]

This only works with any of the wireless templates. Wap, wap2 & imode. This will have no effect if the phone displays the standard theme templates.

[david090366]

Thanks for the reply, I kind of figured it out by myself after doing a little research into how iphones etc work.  I'm using 1.1.x currently and knew that version used the wap wireless template. So I got to looking into iphones and found out they are capable of reading html and figured the forum might " think " they are a regular browser and not direct them to the wap template. I run a play by post site and have several people who check into the forum every now and then with this type of phone. We have several categories of role play and multiple boards in each category, it's kind ponderous to view on a phone. Thought this would be a great mod for the site because of this.

[Kays]

The main reason I wrote this mod is that these values are hard coded in and there were a number of requests to change those values.

Even if a phone does display the regular html page. It can be forced to display a wireless template if the user adds ?wap2 to the url to your forums.
