okay... seems to be an issue with the parser... I was able to integrate this one (available under GNU License)
http://magpierss.sourceforge.net quite easily... I did not take any time right now (not having any, really...
) to format it or anything like that, but it should get you started...
Unzip this attachment to your pals/ directory (this *WILL* overwrite your custombox6pal.php file!!! that's the one I used to experiment...). Then edit your IIP to show custombox6. It should work out of the box... If not, let me know!
Also, if you want the full source of MagpieRSS, please visit the link above and download it... it includes several sample scripts that could be of use for further customization.
Let me know if that fixes it for you.
