Default External.php not working

I plan to use RSS to put featured ads on my homepage which is not my classifieds homepage.

I currently have 1 ad that is featured and that is working in the classifieds, but when I try to use external.php?type=featured it shows displaying 0/0 ads. If I drop the limitor I get the last 15 ads added to the site.

Any ideas why I can't pull that featured ad in the feed?

Because there is no way to tell the file to only show featured ads.

Why is that an option as a feed limitor? Would I need to combine some other criteria to pull those ads?

Is there any other option to do this?

I appreciate the help.

Do you mean "Why isnt it?".....if so, I have no idea. I didnt write the classifieds. I dont think many people make use of it so I would guess they didnt want to spend a lot of time on it.

You would need to modify the script to look for a variable in the URLand alter the database query accordingly to return only featured ads.
