Florida Travel Directory

[exploreflorida]

I was using Indexu 3.1 until the middle of last year when a host crash took the whole site. iExploreFlorida.com - Florida Travel Resource Directory is finally up again using 5.3. Looking Ok so far but lots of mods to do!!

There's a lot of features on the home page that I think are unneccesary. With my site being a niche subject directory (ie:Florida) I changed the Yahoo RSS feeds to localised content, I also added more feeds. The file is actually in footer.html and all I did was paste extra lines underneath the single Yahoo Entertainment feed thus:

</div>
<!-- right add area start -->
<div class="content_right">
<%block_rss_feed url="http://www.visitflorida.com/rss/all_feeds.xml" title="Visit Florida" template="block.rss_feed_list.html" max_item="10" cache_time="86400"%>

</div>

I dumped the people online box, directory statistics and such like to make room

Nice. It use simpla template. I like a list of rss that is in front page.

Thought it was also worth mentioning that you can add more feeds in new.php area and these are different from the home page. See the example (this is in the middle section of the page)

Home page
New Entries page

I wondered if there was anyway of having the feeds on the right side (where the default Yahoo Entertainment one is) change with different pages? At the moment they stay the same for all pages.

For example, if I could change the feeds to match each category area of the directory? Is this possible?

Thanks

You may use 'content' field in category add/edit page.
In admin panel > category > edit > content. Try to add rss block.
Then in template file, browse.html add <&#37;$content%>
