Post by: yvesrn on December 11, 2003, 09:38:46 AM
I found these, but do not know how to structure an argument in the config file so they will appear.

You need to look at the "RSS Command" section of the "Skin Reference" file found on this thread (http://dark-mojo.com/TodayPlus/viewtopic.php?t=3).  The basic format in your config file is as follows:
rss,<id>,<refresh interval>,<web address>,<name>,<pages>

FYI.  There is currently a bug with the links to the HTML pages in the RSS feed when used with TodayPlus so you will only be able to read the description (you will get a "Document not found" web page from Yahoo when you try to access the link).  

The good news is that srs is aware of the problem and I believe he will have it fixed in the next version.

EDIT:  I forgot to mention that this is only a problem with the YAHOO rss feeds.

This is srs we are talking about, I am sure he already fixed it weeks before the problem even appeared.  :lol:
