meh i figured it out and turned up with this http://www.gentendo.com/index.php
try clicking on one of the news articles, that was what i was trying to do:P

OH and BTW in your cache_template plugin, use a better template system, the way you have it now is terrible.

How can i put each news article into a seperate box instead of all into 1?

Well, I don't mind constructive comments but you need to provide more detail about why it's "terrible".

Well im not sureif that plugin is being used by somthing else, but for the portal i would reccommend you using an actual module and templates, this way users can customize the overall look and feel.
Ill see if i can fix somthing up for you in a bit.

Now that I really look at it, I'm not sure that the template that is merged at the beginning of it is used for anything! I think I was testing it and forgot to delete the code!

Have you assigned any of the feeds to the variables that can be displayed in vba? For example, in admincp -> AboutToday -> RSS Feeds, you will need to have "Include this Feed in $myfeeds variable?" set to "Yes" for each feed that you want to display when $myfeeds is used in vba.

If you need more help, pm me your site url with an admin login and password and I'll take a look at it for you.

You are now up and running. You were really close! You just needed to set "How many rows across for $myfeeds variable?" (under admincp -> AboutToday -> Settings) to 1.

Awesome. I must of misread your intro instructions. I thought it was supposed to be zero:

This is to install an addon to vBAdvanced for AboutToday . It assumes that AboutToday is installed, the RSS Feeds are active, and "How many rows across for $myfeeds variable?" is set to greater than zero.

I really appreciate it.

How can I tweak the template so that my feeds can be separated into different modules? FOr instance I want a module that shows only my current events feeds, one for sports, one for movies, etc.

i haven't tested it, but you should be able to use the $myfeeds2 and $myfeeds3 variables for this... just create different modules for each, and edit the code accordingly.

Correct, you could have up to three different "modules" doing it that way. However, right now categories within the RSS Feeds aren`t supported.
