RSS links, Digg

[liquidws]

a few questions..

1. on image1, (these are rss feeds) the title link of the article looks like it should lead to a full article on my site, but on that article (image2) only has the abstract (same info on image1 teaser). is there a way to have the whole rss article appear on my site (image2)? the way it is now is it's useless to have that abstract article (image2) on the site.

am i doing something wrong? how can i change it?

is it possible to make that title link #1 on image1 a direct link to the source instead (just in case i want to do that)?

2. (image1) this link is a link to the full article from the main source website. how can i make this a popup?

3. i would like to remove "delicious" and "digg" links, but when i tried it caused all kinds of problems with the layout and look of the page.. what is the correct way to remove these?

4. is there a setting to have an email sent to me when someone replies to one of my threads (or posts)? or even mark another thread that i am interested in reading? just curious


again, thanks in advance

You can modify your summary/default.tpl template and change the following code from

<h2><a href="{article.get_href}"><vte:value select="{article.get_title}" /></a></h2>

to

<vte:if test="!{article.get_link}">
  <vte:if test="{article.body}">
    <h2><a href="{article.get_href}"><vte:value select="{article.get_title}" /></a></h2>
  </vte:if>
  <vte:else>
    <h2><a class="visit" href="{article.get_link}"><vte:value select="{article.get_title}" /></a></h2>
  </vte:else>
</vte:if>

That way, your title will point to article source.

2. (image1) this link is a link to the full article from the main source website. how can i make this a popup?

I suppose so, try to google some simple JS for pop-ups, and apply it to this line of code in your summary/default.tpl template:

<a class="visit" href="{article.get_link}"><img src="{VIVVO_THEME}img/external.png" alt="{LNG_VISIT_WEBSITE}"/></a>

Easy solution would be to add target="_blank" to that a href, so the article appears in new browser window/tab.

3. i would like to remove "delicious" and "digg" links, but when i tried it caused all kinds of problems with the layout and look of the page.. what is the correct way to remove these?

Go to your article/default.tpl template and remove this line:

<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/article_social_bookmarks.tpl" />

4. is there a setting to have an email sent to me when someone replies to one of my threads (or posts)? or even mark another thread that i am interested in reading? just curious

Currently not.

Is there a way to just get the full article in the rss feed to import into the article it creates on the website?

(i.e. RSS Feed comes in from Site A and summary gets imported into Article A on SITE B. Is there a way to get the full article to be imported into SITE B so when the reader clicks it we don't leave the website, but instead just provide the content right there on SITE B instead? (With full credit to whatever site of course)

I think this is more up to RSS that some site provides.
For example, if the Site A provides something like this in RSS
- Title
- Description
- Body
Than you would be able to import full article into your site.

I see, I kind of thought it might not be available... I'm using the link method above that you outlined, thank you (I added a target='new' in there so it opened another page when someone clicked it).
