Hello. I have set up a site that has some medscape news headlines included in a portal block (Medscape XML) and the block is not truncating the number of news items that I have set in the config.php file.

The config.php settings relevant to my problem (I think) is:

// RSS/RDF feed settings
$_CONF['backend'] = 0;

$_CONF['rdf_limit'] = 5;

$_CONF['rdf_storytext'] = 0;

I am getting all of the feeds since I created the blcok. Do I have to delete the block completely and remove something from teh database ? or am I missing something ?

Thanks

Sean

The rdf settings in config.php are for your site's outgoing feed, not incoming feeds from other sites. That's why it doesn't change the block when you change the settings.

I know this doesn't fix your problem, but that part is beyond my skill.

HTH,

Chuck

Too many hands on my time.

The news plugin allows you to configure the number of links to display in an RDF block (portal block). You can download it here.

I"ve also had some success with the following hack.

Edit COM_rdfImport in lib-common.php.

You need to change the following....


Change to....


Where 5 in array_splice($RDFheadlines,5) is the number of links to display in the block.

Thanks to both replies.

I will look into the changes that squatty has suggested and the pugin if required. I hope that it works as I have removed those blocks from my front page since they were gobbling wayyyy too much space up.

Thanks again.

Worked like a charm - thanks for the help.
