RssViewer for SBBS
------------------

This a first very simple rss viewer for Synchronet BBS

Synchronet is a powerfull bbs package, you can obtain it from www.synchro.net
It's multiplataform and Libre Software =)

Sqlite is a simple sql engine, and can be great as backend 
to doors applications like games, polls, and online bbs modules.
Get from www.sqlite.org

I made a patch to sync to support sqlite3 and play with it.

This rssviewer is a simple JS script that can read from the sqlite database
a show these news.

Until Sync do not have xml parser support, 
the database is populated with the external rssviewer.php script (using lastRSS class)
I hope that at the future can will replace it with a fully js version.

How to Install:

1- put the three files in your exec or mods directory:
rssviewer.js
rssviewer.php
lastRSS.php

2- modify the .ini file path if necesary (default is /sbbs/ctrl/rssviewer.ini)

3- you must add the script to your shell using load('rssviewer.js');

4- put the rssviewer.php in your cron (every 1 hour is ok)

5- done!

if you have a sysop level you can access to the Sysop menu , option 'A' and configure everything
from here, option 'O'.

i need to tune more the files to support ¿windows? and the .ini file path (that now is hardcoded)
also, i will write some ansis to cahnage the look and posible locales support.

...you have the source, you have the control...
