News block/module
squatty
The news block allows users to customize their default view with one of the following feeds:
You can view my news block in action at http://www.squatty.com. The source code is located at http://www.squatty.com/news.zip.
The one major issue with the block that needs some attention is the lack of a caching mechanism. It would be nice to cache both the display and detailed views. If anyone out their has some ideas please let me know?
Thanks,
Danny

Where display_news.php is the block view and detailed_news.php is the secondary detailed view. I also neglected to add the sql updates for the Geeklog groups and userprefs tables! Download the zip file again.
Sorry, it was late when I made the zip archive!

In summary, here's the steps for installing the ABCNews block:
1) Extract the code to /public_html
A new directory named news will be created for you.
2) Run the SQL script: news-sql.sql
The script will create one new table named abcnews and make updates to userprefs and groups tables. The details are as follows:
All news feeds are stored in the abcnews table. This look-up table stores the available news feeds.
3) Add the phpblock: news.phpblock
The first step is to add the contents of newss.phpblock to lib-custom.php. The second step is to simply create the phpblock and reference the
phpblock_getnews function.
NOTES
Have fun!
