!! 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
See ((Mods Admin)) for instructions on how to install a Mod.
!!!! 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 ~~red: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:
