Mod blogroll

The Mod blogroll install s a module, that takes an OPML-file from your file-gallery and renders it as a blogroll. OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) is an XML format for outlines. Originally developed by Radio UserLand as a native file format for an outliner application, it has since been adopted for other uses, the most common being to exchange lists of web feeds between web feed aggregators. The OPML specification defines an outline as a hierarchical, ordered list of arbitrary elements. The specification is fairly open which makes it suitable for many types of list data. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPML.

Install

Usage

Once installed, you will see it under ""Admin > Modules > Assign new module > Module Name (drop down)" (tiki-admin_modules.php):

You can assign a this Module to a lateral column (See Module Admin page if needed), or you can include it within a wiki page, using the PluginModule. This module requires to add the parameter fileId=X, being X the number of the Id of the file in the file gallery.

For instance, lets assume that I upload an example opml file (see below) as file 1 in the file gallery: you need to add "filedId=1" at the parameters field. The assign module screen would look like:

The content of that file (http://static.userland.com/gems/radiodiscuss/playlist.opml) is:
