In Search of an in-line RSS Reader

    Hi All,
    I am searching for an inline RSS reader that I can use on my newly installed 3.01 WP site.

    I’m looking to place the RSS feed inline on a page. The trick is I need to be able to format the RSS out put horizontally instead of vertically. I’m using the RSS to display the latest updates of photo galleries.

    Right now, I’m using HungryFeed. I’m happy with it – but I can’t format it horizontally. If someone can help me there – problem solved.

    What I need the output to look like is:

    pic-1 pic-2 pic-3
    pic-4 pic-5 pic-6

    What I am currently getting is:
    pic-1
    pic-2
    pic-3
    pic-4
    pic-5
    pic-6

    (Of Course, in the pic-1 I also have Title and Description).

    Thanks for the help.. And like I said- if there is a way to make HungryFeed do this, that would work. If there is another RSS Reader for WP that will allow me to horizontally (and wrap) the images, then I will move.

    Thanks again

    hey liquid squelch! i think you can do that using the HungryFEED custom templates which are a new feature in combination with some clever CSS.

    In HungryFEED settings edit custom template 1 to look something like this:

    <div style=”width: 33px; float: left;”>
    …. (your HTML here) …
    </div>

    then within your post, you would need to surround your HungryFEED shortcode with a fixed-width wrapper like so:

    <div style=”width: 100px; float: left;>
    [HungryFEED url=”…” template=”1″]
    </div>

    so what this will do because each item is floated to the left with fixed width of 33 pixels, and they are contained within a 100 pixel div, then they will appear horizontally and it will line wrap at 3 items. of course you can adjust the pixel width based on your needs)

    i don’t know what your feed looks like and there may be some tweaks necessary based on your wordpress theme, but it technically should work.
