Title: newsfeed scroller
Post by: c8620p on February 27, 2007, 03:52:09

I install the newsfeed scroller module but inside the area I get this message:

Fatal error: Class 'mamboCore' not found in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\elxis\modules\mod_newsfeeds_scroller.php on line 47

and in this .php file on line 47 there is:

if (!defined('MAGPIE_CACHE_DIR')) define ('MAGPIE_CACHE_DIR', mamboCore::get('mosConfig_absolute_path').'/includes/magpie_cache');
require_once (mamboCore::get('mosConfig_absolute_path').'/includes/magpierss/rss_fetch.php');

is there something i can do?

I haven't used that magpie component, but I can see that paths are not the same... What's the name for that component, so I can get one and check it out?

Magpie is a class for parsing XML files that is not used in Elxis. Your scroller module seems that is not compatible with Elxis.

Note: Magpie is a good class and we may implemented in the future as the current class (domit) has problems with utf-8 encoding.

Yes, there is. It is the one we have installed at elxis.org website displaying the latest news. I don't remember it's name. You most probably will find it in Elxis Directory (https://www.elxis.org/index.php?option=com_mtree&task=listcats&cat_id=45&Itemid=138). If you don't find it there ask eliasan.

There is newsfeed in elxis core... but, I wanted to add that it's possible to create module with similar function to that found on the elxis home just using old HTML tag called "marquee". I might do that on one of the sites I administer and post a link here. For now, I just want you to know that I managed to do it on my localhost. :)
