A Few questions. Are They Possible?

[outlook]

Sorry here's my Classifieds

Try to replace your layout.tpl file with this one:

This creates a right column and no left column.

Thanks for the swift reply. I'm sorry if there is a misunderstanding, but I want to keep the left column. I want to create an additional column on the right that will include the Member Nav, nav, and the feed info you provided.

Set-up something like:

[Categories|content | member nav]
[sponsor |content | navigation]
[sponsor |content | rss feed]

Thanks

[Eric Barnes]

Here is an updated version:
http://www.68classifieds.com/customerhelp/layout.txt

This has three columns like you want. Each one has a comment to specify where it goes.

You're the man! I'll give it a go....

Thank you sooo much Suzkaw for the above. It wasn't quite what I wanted, but I was able to use it as a start to get me to what I needed.

Also, can you tell me how to create the below? I would like to add a "Quick Links" heading.

Thanks for any response.

Thank you for all your help.

Nick-

You can append the following to the 'external' address.
(For example: yoursite.com/external.php?type=new)

1. type
- new
- featured
- top
- dateadded (default)

2. cat
- the cat's slug
- the cat id may work

3. state
4. city
5. country
6. owner
7. searchtext
8. minprice
9. maxprice
10. limit

So, it sounds like you need to use 'limit' instead of 'count'.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Sorry i should have explained myself a bit better. I am not rrying to do it for my feed.
For example Coal Mining
How can i limit one of these?
Cheers

EDIT: in the index.php i have $url = 'http://www.truckworld.com.au/absolutenm/rss.aspx;
but if i have $url = 'http://www.truckworld.com.au/absolutenm/rss.aspx?limit=2'; nothing changes.

You would limit it inside the foreach loop. For example:

PHP Code:

require_once(FILESYSTEM_PATH .'includes/classes/magpierss/rss_fetch.inc');
$url = 'http://www.68classifieds.com/forums/external.php?forumids=2&fulldesc&count=3';
$rss = fetch_rss($url);
$output='';
$i='';
$count=0;
foreach ($rss->items as $item)
{
    if($count <= 2)
    {
        $href = $item['link'];
        $href = str_replace('&', '&amp;', $href);
        $data =    $item['pubdate'];
        $btitle = $item['title'];
        $blog[$i]['link']= $href;
        $blog[$i]['title'] = $btitle;
        $output.="<strong><a href='".$href."' target='_blank'>".$btitle."</a></strong>";
        $output.="<p>".$item['description']."</p>";
    }
    $count++;
}
$class_tpl->assign('news', $output);
