Who wants to perhaps coach me in modifying an RSS plugin or just writing my own from the existing code (if its open source), ?
It does not attribute the content owners or add proper simple meta data to the posts its plugging into una. this is a legal risk for plagarism and proported content theft, and thats why i want the guy to fix it, he hasnt even answered me that he understands the problem, and while i am not in any way faulting him, or blaming him- for anything actually-
I find the current performance of the plugin extremely unsatisfactory and need to fix it. or delete it from my site and politely warn my friends not to use it. we all care very much about having the author of the work, the title of the content, and the originating post url aggregated into the una rss feed or any rss feed. this has been standard on the web since they invented rss and first noticed it was an issue. i shouldnt have to fix this, or it even be an issue.
okay cool, so theres an api for write.as which is where most of the content comes from, i aggregte the rest from slashdot, and then my own blogs- and have other plans for the plugin, so this is actually very important. if i explained it, the guys head would pop off and he'd have coded it like this from the beginning because the value would be understood of the rss software itself, in the utility of wat it gives a web user. its a custom newspaper or whateverr. etc this is very powerful. ok bye! :D
https://developers.write.as/ and the plugin is the modzz rss plugin.
humbly thank you all, and please halp, i can understand the code when its written, and i read it but i dont know what to do haha otherwise just yet. to modify this thing so it pulls down the "title" and so on from the appropriate api areas over at developers.write.as - :)

I still can't get the app to work at all and he stopped responding

I see the message you sent on Friday. The module will be updated to address the reported issue.

If you already applied the latest updates and still have an issue then hop over to messenger so I can do some further troubleshooting on your cron process.

thank you. i'm in the process of moving to una-cloud and i'll keep you updated.
I have since heard from Mr Mingo and he will be updating the codebase in 1-2 days +- :) thank you Jerome Mingo !
Can anyone guide me on how to resize images on rss feed text. I have a embedded a few rss links to our UNA community site - typically world and sports news, but my challenge is that, the images are always lager so spill over the pages. Any assistance Please
Well done Jerome Mingo . I suggest to put the c.a in db and/or block such as when you see news item there will be additional 3 blocks . Auther, link, media etc. Each site has logo (favicon) so showing site name alongside logo will level up this module 10x better
he tried, then decided to just release it as new code and charge for it instead. i had asked him for this, the u-date he pushed is still broken and looks terrible on my site, and i wanted to write the module myself but dont feel like it yet but eventually will. =] xml isnt that hard.
