    • Enhanced RSS functionality

    Posted by Bob

    I embed RSS feeds all over TIKI.

    Most feeds come with a "description" of the link - but we currently aren't showing it.

    I have modified 2 files which will

    1. not impact current code
    2. for feeds with a description field, you can "hover" your mouse and get a pop-up view of the description ontop of the feed.


    The 2 changes are in tikilib.php and in rsslib.php.

    The changes (summarized):

    2 changes in rsslib.

    1. One which "searches" for the description tags.
    2. Then it adds the description to the object being passed back


    1 change in the tikilib

    1. include a "title" attribute for the link of the RSS content so the bubble will pop up


    I am attaching the 2 files here.

    You can find my changes by searching for a comment with the letters bz in it; 2 in RSS and 1 in TIKILIB - both have the bz to "start and finish" the mod

    tried your changes - they don't work! I hover over the links and nothing happens.

    The code additions don't work for me either. The code changes make sense, but it doesn't look like tikiwiki adds the "title" part of the anchor anymore. (That's what makes the description pop up when you hold your mouse over a link.) I'm guessing some other file must be responsible for this and no longer worries about the "title" part of RSS url links?...

    To bad bobzim isn't around anymore...
