yeah I thought so too...if anyone has an idea on how this works, can you let me know?

I'm looking into doing this as well. Have you picked out any RSS feed reading software? I'm looking at Magpie:

http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/

It seems pretty simple to put together. I'm gonna try to plug it into my install w/o creating some horrible gaping security hole.

let me know how it goes. I would like to know. I'll also look into that code.

So I've implemented magpie-rss. I built a table in the db to store the rss info, then set up a cron job to get the feed once an hour and overwrite the old feed data. Then I just fetch the data in config.php and make it available to smarty. Made a customer/newsfeed.tpl that loops through the data and displays it. Pretty easy, about an hour and a half of work.

If anyones interested in the code let me know I'll put it up under freebies. Original code adopted by: Christian Jц╦rgensen (http://www.razor.dk) Just modified by me to work with Smarty/X-Cart.

Cool, nice mod. I'd've definitely grabbed it for this site if I hadn't already written my own, but I'd be interested in using it in the future.

Boomer,

I like the looks of your page. I just came across this post, and would be very interested in getting a copy of your code.

Thanks!
