As you can see, I have added the new CS Department RSS feed (http://www.cs.siue.edu/news/rss.aspx) to the headlines section of this page. If any CAOS officer disapproves of this change then let me know and I will take it down ASAP.
For those of you who are interested, the RSS 2.0 feed URL is:
http://www.cs.siue.edu/news/rss.aspx
The new news page is:
http://www.cs.siue.edu/news/

Nice work Andrew!
Yeah, very cool! Nice job! :-)
That is really nice. :) Although, I think CS News should be above Slashdot and Wired news. Hmm ... Or maybe even above Recent forum topics? Just a thought.
Yeah, we discussed putting the CS News above Slashdot and Wired, but it doesn't get updated nearly as much as either of those pages (though we hope that someday that might change! :-) ). This could be a simple poll question:
What do you think about the CS News feed?
- I like it.
- I don't like it.
- I'd like it if it were updated more.
- It needs to be above Slashdot and Wired news.
- It should stay where it's at.
- There's a CS News webpage? :-P
Ehh, just a thought... what do you guys think?
I have replaced the old XOOPS RSS headlines template with one of my own devising. I don't know Smarty so I had to use PHP in the template, but it seems to work and I chose variable names that should not conflict with anything.
This should help solve the problem of where to put the CS headlines.
OLD<{foreach item=feed from=$block.feeds}>
<{$feed}>

$andrew_lamonica_feed_count = 0;

if($andrew_lamonica_feed_count % 2)
print "

$andrew_lamonica_feed_count++;

while($andrew_lamonica_feed_count % 2)
