Here's a neat tool, but...

Heres's a neat syndication tool. when the user clicks on your rss icon, it generates a drop down box that contains all the available newsreaders thus permitting the user to select the one he wants your feed to match up with.

Only thing, I can't seem to get it working off my default theme html. Anyone suspect why? Here's the link for the tool.
It's called "quicksub."

I'm getting the link, alright, and it's genrating the correct feed, but it's not invoking the drop down screen with the choices. I'm thinking XOOPS is throwing it off somehow.

make sure the files it's calling are in your theme folder and are called by the url <{$xoops_imageurl}>quicksub.css etc.

Thanks, pal, I had a feeling it was something like that.

Here's the href. How do I fix it.

<a href="http://www.logs.com/backend.php" onmouseout="return timeqs();" onmouseover="return quicksub(this, 'http://www.logs.com/backend.php');"><img src='http://logs.com/themes/default/xml.gif' alt='RSS feed' border='0'></a>

Not quite, you have to fix the source in your theme:
Quote:

<div id="quickSub" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden; z-index:1000;" onMouseOut="return timeqs();" onMouseMove="return delayqs();"></div>
<script language="JavaScript" src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>/quicksub.js"><!-- quickSub (c) Jason Brome --></script>
Note the <{$xoops_imageurl}> in the code.

You'll have to do the same in the head part of your theme for the CSS call.

You've lost me. Here are the steps from the quickSub site. How would you do the edits if you were using the XOOPS default theme?

Thanks --

How to use quickSub:

1. Paste the following CSS import in the head of your HTML page:

<style type="text/css">
@import "quicksub.css";
</style>

2. Paste the following two lines at the top of your HTML page's body:

<div id="quickSub" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden; z-index:1000;" onMouseOut="return timeqs();" onMouseMove="return delayqs();"></div>
<script language="JavaScript" src="quicksub.js"><!-- quickSub (c) Jason Brome --></script>

3. In the link to your feed, include a call to quickSub(this, url) in the onmouseover, and timeqs() in the onmouseout:

e.g.
<a href="http://www.jasonbrome.com/blog/index.rdf" onmouseout="return timeqs();" onmouseover="return quicksub(this, 'http://www.jasonbrome.com/blog/index.rdf');">My feed</a>

4. Upload your updated HTML page, along with quicksub.css and quicksub.js - and, voila - easy subscribing for your readers!

OK, i tried it in a default theme and it works. This is a copy of theme.html for XOOPS 2.0.5.2, but it worked on my 2.0.7.3 site:

</html>

As I said, this works OK. It puts the link just below the logo in the default theme, but you've already got that part working. Note the CSS link in the head, and the Javascript link in the body (just below the <body> tag)

Hope this makes sense!

*edit* don't forget to put quicksub.css and quicksub.js in your default theme folder.

By the way, what exactly does this mean:

<img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>

Ok, it's php. But what is it doing? Why is the word "image used, etc?

I suppose I should learn some php. Is there a XOOPS tutorial on this stuff or should I be looking at generic php tutorials?

You got it working - cool.

<{$xoops_imageurl}> is a smarty tag, it just means you can put it in any theme (or module) and it will give you the direct path to the theme you're currently using. The idea is, you can make up a theme etc and it will work in any XOOPS installation.

I'm sure there's better ways of explaining it, have a look at the FAQ.
