Done. You have to know what are your feed numbers (edit those <{if}> clauses accordingly). I guess that you'll have to find a better way to set feed numbers than to hardcode them, you can improve this a lot
Good luck!

Copy the code bellow and save as /modules/xoopsheadline/blocks/headline_block.html (backup your original file first)
<{if $site_id == 1}>
<table>
<{/if}>
<{if $site_id == 1 || $site_id == 3}>
<tr>
<{/if}>
<td><h3>This is your feed number <{$site_id}>h3>
<a href="<{$site_url}>" target="_blank"><{$site_name}>a><br />
<{if $image.url != ""}>
  <img src="<{$image.url}>" width="<{$image.width|default:88}>" height="<{$image.height|default:31}>" alt="<{$image.title}>" /><br />
<{/if}>

<ul>
<{section name=i loop=$items}>
  <{if $items[i].title != ""}>
  <li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/xoopsheadline/index.php?id=<{$site_id}>#<{$items[i].link}>"><{$items[i].title}>a>li>
  <{/if}>
<{/section}>
ul> 
td>
<{if $site_id == 2 || $site_id == 4}>
tr>
<{/if}>
<{if $site_id == 4}>
table>
<{/if}>

That is superb....thank you so so much!

It didn't work at first, but this was because I didn't read which file to update (I was playing around with templates) but once I re-read your instructions, as well as using phpMyAdmin to set each site_id to the number I wanted, it is all working.

Thank you once again.

Phil

wow what a great trick. thats something ive been trying to do for a while. but when i tried it only the title of each feed was a link. all the headlines werent linked to anything. they were just normal text. anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? additionaly, does anyone know how i could split my rss feeds and half two of them on the left side in a block and the two on the right side in a separate block?

If you made changes to templates, you might have broken a variable, like I always do, by mising a { or a $
edit: see how I missed a 's' above?

You can try cloning blocks. If you make that work for RSS feeds, please describe how

I was also looking for solution for my website's(Toronto Chinese Yellow Pages) headline session. I have 3 columns. After a while, i decided to dig into the code myself.

I found it it is easier to use the "headline_weight" for the logic. Here is what I have done.
1. Weight your RSS list(Sorting sequence) throught the headline administration
2. Assign the 'weight' variable in .../xoopsheadline/index.php
$xoopsTpl->append('feed_sites', array('id' => $headlines[$i]->getVar('headline_id'), 'weight' => $headlines[$i]->getVar('headline_weight'), 'name' => $headlines[$i]->getVar('headline_name')));


3. Change the custome template to have the logic, which in my case I have 3 columns.
<table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
<tr>         
      
    <{foreach item=site from=$feed_sites}>      
        <td valign="top" width=33%">images/news.gif"><{$xoops_url}>/modules/xoopsheadline/index.php?id=<{$site.id}>">#0000EE"><{$site.name}>
     <{if $site.weight is div by 3}>
    tr><tr>
    <{/if}>
      <{/foreach}>
   
tr>
table>

4. Here is the layout from my website.

Great idea, xiaoca! Classy and much easier to adapt too

hw888: you'd only have to change the line <{if $site.weight is div by 3}> to "div by 2" and it'd be like you wanted.
