Grab news from 7 different locations on my board

by Guest April 27th 2013, 3:28 pm

Hi all!

I'm looking for a solution for a problem I'm encountering. I want to automatically grab news items from 7 different locations on my board and place them on my portal. Using the pre-defined "News" widget, I can select just 1 location and the "News" widget is restricted to one time use only once I place it on my portal. If possible, I wish to group and title them, with at least 10 items and length 600px each, like this on the portal:

Site News - Latest Topics
10 items - 10 items

Nintendo Official News - Nintendo In the media
10 items - 10 items

Playstation Official News - Playstation in the media
10 items - 10 items

XBOX Official News - XBOX in the media
10 items - 10 items

or like this with a news length of 1200px:

Nintendo Official News - Playstation Official News - XBOX Official News
10 items - 10 items - 10 items

Nintendo in the media - Playstation in the media - XBOX in the media
10 items - 10 items - 10 items

Could anyone come up with a solution for this, please please please?

Thank you!

Samantha

You mean this http://www.avacweb.com/t805-19-multiple-news-widgets-from-different-forums

I'm sorry, can't read that. I"ve been banned from Avacweb for reasons no man understands I guess (wish I could come back though) Razz

I remember there's a topic there mentioning it from different sites, but will it be the same for 1 site though? Maybe you could PM me with that solution. I've got some CSS and JS knowledge, but I'd rather have a solution made by these FM guys here. They're good! TY!

AGHHH!!!! PLS SlGray! I only wanted to state my topics here! Don't play rude on me! I already edited my post before! Just tell me the solution! You never came up with any solution before, just telling me to shut up and apply to the FM rules! Well, anyway beyond and I'll take my board to another place!

I"m gonna make a compaint about you here. Suit yourself.

I filed a report to The Godfather. Up to you. Up to him.

I'm really sad, but I mean it.

I'm just a girl trying to get things straigened up on her forum. Instead of looking into the problem, you'd rather refer to the rules or whatever here. I WAS doing the best I could!

You should be able to see this as a guest - http://www.avacweb.com/t805-19-multiple-news-widgets-from-different-forums .

Please don't double/triple post. Your post need to be separated by 24 hours before bumping, replying or adding more information. Please use the edit button instead!

Third reminder about double posting which turns into a warning.

Nope. And further more, I'd rely on better posts from FM staff then relying on Avacweb's. I never wished it'd come this far, SLGray. And as far as I can see, why should I be editting my post when you ask me something? I just need to reply right?

To highlight something, you can use the underline or italic fonts.

Also, everyone here comes to get help & everyone follows these rules. You should do it too. I am a bit saddened to see this behavior from you. :|

Well, try this, why not bold? Why underlinde? Why Italic? huh? I'm off. I'm gonna look for better solutions instead of ppl trying to put me down here. I bet you never came up with the solution yourselves Wink
